The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 456 - 453 Perfect Lover 6_1

The two of them finally calmed down, quietly wiping their tears.

Mr. Huang hurriedly said, "Xiaojue, you just got home. You must be exhausted. Go and rest first."

Huang Xiaojue shook his head and sat down.

Mr. Huang put down the thermos, poured a large bowl of soup, and handed it to him. "This is rock sugar and white fungus soup I stewed for your mother. You have a bowl first."

Huang Xiaojue drank it all in one gulp.

"I also bought this coffee on the way. Drink it."

The coffee began to revive him. He didn’t speak, just closed his eyes slightly and rubbed his temples.

Mrs. Huang and Jingjing exchanged a look and were about to speak, but Mr. Huang stopped them with a glare.

They immediately fell silent. Previously, Mrs. Huang had been terrified, fearing her son would lose his temper upon his return, and she was fraught with anxiety.

After all, she was his wife. Mr. Huang had doted on her for many years, and they shared a deep bond. How could he just watch and do nothing? So, he had signaled her that when she saw her son, she must not try to be defiant but must be submissive and admit her fault. Otherwise, the consequences would be unmanageable.

Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Huang saw her son, she immediately burst into tears and confessed her mistake. With such a performance, how could he, as her child, continue to reprimand his own mother?

Even if Huang Xiaojue had ten thousand things to say, he couldn’t utter a single one at that moment.

Mr. Huang asked carefully, "Xiaojue, have you contacted Xixi?"

He propped his head on his hand. "She refuses to see me."

Mrs. Huang started to say something but was again stopped by a look from her husband.

"Never mind," Mr. Huang said. "She must be furious right now. This time, your mother and aunt truly went too far. It’s understandable if she doesn’t forgive them. Let’s wait a few days for her to cool down, then we’ll talk."

Mrs. Huang covered her face and said in a low voice, "Isn’t that the truth? For this, your father even slapped me..."

"You old woman, when have I ever laid a hand on you in all our years? This time, you truly went too far!"

"I wish I could just die, what more can I do? Do you really expect me to kill myself to atone for this?"

He knew his parents were putting on an act, a classic good cop, bad cop routine. But seeing his mother’s still-swollen face, what could he say?

But his aunt couldn’t wait any longer. Her son was facing jail time! How could this wait?

She pretended not to see her brother-in-law’s warning glare and hurriedly said, "Xiaojue, your aunt is truly begging you this time. No matter what, you have to get Yan Xixi to drop the charges! You can’t just stand by and watch your cousin go to jail! His wife’s due in a few days. Are we supposed to let their child be born with a father in prison?"

Huang Xiaojue was slightly surprised. Is Yang Wei really going to jail?

Only then did Mr. Huang explain in detail everything that had happened that day.

The more Huang Xiaojue listened, the darker his expression became. Even though his father deliberately downplayed Yang Wei’s repeated demands for money, he still found it incredible. Finally, he interrupted his father, glaring at his aunt. "For such a petty thing, Yang Wei actually went to demand money again and again?"

His aunt stammered, "Well... your cousin was just... indignant at the time..."

He gave a bitter laugh and said nothing more.

Indignant!

What a fine excuse, ’indignant.’

Just because he was ’indignant,’ he went to extort them time and again? Didn’t they know who Yan Xixi was to him?

People say you should consider the owner even when you beat their dog. But them? They were ready to skin his own fiancée alive! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The aunt grew frantic. "Xiaojue, we were in the wrong this time, I admit. But weren’t they also bullying us excessively? For such a minor issue, they beat your cousin to a pulp! Go look at him; he’s hardly recognizable! And now they want us jailed too! Yan Xixi showed no regard for your mother’s dignity either, did she?"
