The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 570 - 567 Time’s Up 9_1

"Some things are better left unsaid."

But Wan Donglin went straight on, "Xixi is timid. She rarely socializes, and Nanny Huang disciplined her harshly in the past, which terrified her. So, in the future, could you perhaps be a bit more... tactful when you talk to her? Um... I mean, try not to be so blunt..."

"Are you saying Dongmei and I hurt her fragile little heart?"

"Well... uh... think about it. My sister just took Rina and left without a word... How awkward is that..."

Liu Daqing said coldly, "If you don’t have the right skills, you shouldn’t take on the job. We were never very satisfied with her anyway. Are we supposed to put her on a pedestal? Did she come crying to you over such a small grievance?"

"Oh, listen to yourself, Empress Dowager. Would she actually cry to me? No, it’s your son—me—who pities her! After all, she’s all alone, with no family. It’s understandable if she’s a little sensitive.

"Mature people shouldn’t hold grudges against a junior. Why stoop to her level, right? Think of your magnanimity, Empress Dowager! You possess a spirit that could command nations and reshape landscapes!

"Yan Xixi, on the other hand, is just an inexperienced young woman who doesn’t know any better. Why not show her a little compassion?"

Liu Daqing was so angry she burst out laughing. If I hadn’t seen through that little charlatan myself, I really would have been fooled by my son!

Her expression turned stern. "Donglin, I think you’re getting a bit carried away..."

"Please enlighten me, Empress Dowager."

"If you continue like this, you might really turn into King Zhou..."

He feigned surprise. "Mother Dearest, without a Su Daji, how can there be a King Zhou?"

"From what I see, that Yan Xixi is practically a Su Daji."

"Haha, besides her looks, how is Xixi anything like Su Daji? Mother, don’t worry, your son guarantees he’ll win her over completely and have her serving you to your heart’s content.

"You probably don’t know, but she can cook—her culinary skills are fantastic, and the desserts she makes are out of this world! Plus, she’s smart and never acts spoiled..."

"Enough, stop singing her praises. Any more of this, and you’ll make her out to be Cleopatra."

"Haha, she’ll definitely serve you well."

"I don’t need her to serve me; I have plenty of people for that. I’m not relying on my daughter-in-law for service. Having a grandchild soon is what’s most important."

"Hehe, rest assured, your son is diligently working on that."

A white Mercedes sped past, then abruptly stopped in front of him. After apparently confirming the identity of the man lingering by the community entrance, its horn blared, startlingly loud.

Wan Donglin froze. Who could be so brazen?

The car drove right past him, almost brushing him, and then stopped.

The window rolled down, and someone inside waved. "Hey there, buddy, need a ride?"

Wan Donglin chuckled, surprised.

"Have you eaten?"

"Miss, is it your treat?"

"No problem."

He hopped into the passenger seat without a second thought and immediately started firing questions, "Yan Xixi, whose car is this?"

She replied nonchalantly, "Do I need to borrow one?"

"Rented then?"

"Of course not."

"Did you win the lottery?"

She rolled her eyes, looking completely unfazed. "It was a gift."

Wan Donglin instantly tensed. "Who gave it to you? Who was so generous? What scumbag gave you this?"

Yan Xixi fumed. That jerk! How can he talk like that?

"Quick, tell me! Who gave it to you? TSK, TSK. A Tycoon with absolutely no taste! Isn’t that crazy?

"If they were going to give a gift, at least make it something decent! This is all they could come up with? So cheap!

"They should’ve at least gotten you a Rolls-Royce or something. Seriously stingy! It’s utterly mortifying..."
