1082 This Is My Mom
When Xiang Weimin met his father along with Justin, he noticed how Xiang Hulin’s eyes were on Justin for a long time. He had a probing look in his eyes and when he looked back at Xiang Weimin, he could see a faint anger and reproach in those eyes.
Xiang Weimin did not understand the meaning behind it at all.
So, he didn’t take it to heart either.
He finally saw his mother entering the venue and went to greet her. “Mom,” he greeted.
Song Xin’ai looked at her son and smiled slightly, “You’re here.”
“Why wouldn’t I be here?”
“Right. You should be here,” said Song Xin’ai.
Xiang Weimin shook his head at her awkward reaction and said, “Took you a while to come inside.”
Song Xin’ai stiffened for a moment. It seemed she wasn’t doing a good job at hiding. Or perhaps, she underestimated her own children. How could she avoid them? They’d definitely know that she had been here for a long time but just couldn’t gather her courage to step inside.
.....
“Come, I’ll take you to grandfather,” said Xiang Weimin.
Song Xin’ai’s body tensed up even more at the mention of Elder Xiang. “I’ll see him later.”
Xiang Weimin didn’t let her off, “Mom, you are already here. You can’t avoid him. Since your decided to come inside, it’s better to just greet grandfather. Trust me, he doesn’t bite. Not at all.”
“When did I say he bites?” Song Xin’ai gave him an angry look.
Xiang Weimin smiled, “I know, you didn’t say it. In fact, you always told us how loving our grandfather was. It’s us who didn’t believe your words.”
“I’ll greet him, let me take a moment,” said Song Xin’ai.
“You took long enough,” said Xiang Weimin. “Look around. You’re the last person to show up. Dad was the first person to come and you’re the last to come. Don’t you think there is something wrong with this equation?”
Song Xin’ai shook her head, “Hulin likes to be on time. How can he ever be late? And there are actually a lot of things wrong with the equation in our family. After all, we are a family just in name. So, when I come doesn’t really matter.”
Xiang Weimin couldn’t possibly refute those words.
Suddenly, he felt someone hugging his leg and he looked down at Justin. “Where did you go?” He asked softly to the little man who was very active today. He was stuck to his side since he came but ran away when Xiang Weimin came to see Song Xin’ai. Only now did he come back.
“I went to see mom,” replied Justin in a milky sweet voice. Although he liked Xiang Weimin and wanted to be with him, he still had to care about his mother’s feelings. So, this little man went to take a look at his mother and only came back after he saw Tang Hebe.
Xiang Weimin held his hand and said, “Okay. But tell me when you want to go anywhere next time.”
“Okay,” agreed Justin sweetly.
In front of them, Song Xin’ai was dumbfounded. Not just because her son was being so gentle. But also because of the little child with him. She looked at Justin and then at Xiang Weimin. Her eyes moved from the face of the bigger one to the face of the younger one.
She was the mother of Xiang Weimin and if Mu Chenyan and Elder Xiang could see the similarities, it wasn’t like she was blind. She could obviously see it too!
Her son had a son of his own and she didn’t have any idea!
Was she that oblivious to the matters of her children now? When did it even happen? Why didn’t she hear about it? Did Xiang Weimin hide it from her on purpose?
She stopped her brain from running over speed and calmed down her breathing. She thought about it rationally once again. And then she realized that it was impossible for Xiang Weimin to hide something this big from her.
Although they had a very formal relationship as mother and son, Xiang Weimin was a little old-fashioned. So, since young, he’d always call her before making any big decisions in his life. For instance, when he wanted to join the Air Force, even though he already had made up his mind. He still called her and informed her about it and even discussed it in detail.
So, hiding about a child was a big no-no!
She looked at Xiang Weimin once more and a possibility came to her mind. ‘Her son also didn’t know that he had a son of his own.’
And she actually was more inclined to believe in this possibility.
“Weimin, who is he?” asked Song Xin’ai trying to keep her expression in check so that her curiosity wouldn’t be so obvious.
“This is Justin,” replied Xiang Weimin. “Justin, this is my mom.”
Justin actually looked at Song Xin’ai curiously. He was very interested in the mother of Xiang Weimin. After all, he liked Xiang Weimin so he wanted to see his mom too. He thought that since he loved his mother so much, Xiang Weimin must love his mother too so he was extra polite and seemed obedient in front of Song Xin’ai.
Song Xin’ai’s face softened and her heart melted when she saw him acting so adorably.
Aiyo! Her son wasn’t this cute when he was young!
Since Xiang Weimin’s temperament was more like his father, so even though his face was similar to Justin’s when he was young, he wasn’t as cute as Justin was. At least that was Song Xin’ai opinion. She looked at Justin lovingly and asked, “Where is your mother, little baby?”
“She is sitting over there,” Justin pointed in a direction with his small finger.
Song Xin’ai looked over but because of so many people, she couldn’t see his mother. It was a shame but she would just wait patiently. She had to see which woman gave birth to a son for Xiang Weimin.
