While Zhao Dong was not paying attention, the sister-in-law secretly warned, "Xiao Man, this child Xie Shan is actually quite good. You will have more contact with her if you have the opportunity in the future."
Zhao Xiaoman was a little confused, "Mom, didn't you just let me play with her?"
The sister-in-law glared, "Didn't Mom misunderstand her before?"
"Also, let me tell you, Xie Shan may have to live in our house for a while. We are the masters and you are a boy. You must behave like a gentleman like your uncle!"
"Did you hear that? Please pay more attention to Xie Shan at home from now on!"
Seeing that Zhao Xiaoman didn't seem to understand, the sister-in-law teased, "Besides, don't you want to marry me a beautiful daughter-in-law like your brother-in-law?"
Zhao Xiaoman's face turned red, but he didn't think much about it, but when he suddenly heard such words from his sister-in-law, he felt a little shy, "Mom, didn't you let me fall in love early?"
The sister-in-law had a serious expression on her face, "Of course, studies must be the most important thing at the moment. I just think Xie Shan is a pretty good kid. I want you not to bully her and leave a good impression on other girls!"
"By the way, please add Xie Shan's contact information later. When she returns to Tiandu, communicate frequently and don't lose contact!"
When Zhao Dong came out with Xie Shan, the eldest sister-in-law immediately greeted her and said with a smile: "Xie Shan, we had some misunderstandings before, please don't blame auntie."
After all the changes, not only Xie Shan felt a little uncomfortable, but even Zhao Dong felt strange.
Zhao Dong didn't think about other aspects. Instead, Xie Shan pulled Zhao Xiaoman aside and asked secretly: "Xiaoman, why do I feel that your mother is a little weird?"
Zhao Xiaoman didn't know how to answer, "Yes?"
Xie Shan was suspicious, "I can't tell. I always feel like your mother wants to eat people. Does she still remember what I did to her in the hotel just now? Does she want to take revenge on me?"
Zhao Xiaoman said awkwardly: "Maybe my mother likes you."
Xie Shan muttered, "The way she looks at me doesn't look like she likes me..."
On the other side, after Xie Jiang hung up the phone from Zhao Dong, he sat at the table and smoked half a pack of cigarettes.
Until the phone on the table rang again, his hands visibly shook!
It was obvious that Xie Jiang was waiting for this call.
He put out the cigarette butt, then answered the call expressionlessly. After answering, Xie Jiang hung up the phone again.
His expression was obviously serious. He checked the weapons in front of him, inserted them into his back, put on another coat, and then stood up and went out.
Before getting on the bus, Xie Jiang looked back at the office building of Company 5, and then at the dark clouds above his head, with a slightly complicated expression!
At the same time, Zhao Dong and his party also returned to the Zhao family.
The sister-in-law went to clean up the room first, and Zhao Dong explained to the family that Xie Shan was coming to stay for a few days.
Mother Zhao was fine, her expression did not change, and she did not express her position.
It was obvious that she left this matter to Sophie.
When Sophie heard Xie Jiang's name, her expression had already changed slightly. She looked up at Xie Shan again, her eyes showing some fluctuations that ordinary people couldn't see.
Xie Shan seemed to be a little afraid of Sophie, which was different from her fear of her sister-in-law. Her fear of her sister-in-law was physical, but her fear of Sophie was psychological.
An equally excellent woman, with a natural suppression!
Xie Shan has been used to being proud since she was a child. She subconsciously did not adapt to Sophie's aura and dazzling personality, and in the end she was unable to resist.
In the past, Sophie was a master at mediating the atmosphere, but for some reason today, she was not in the right state.
It wasn't until my sister-in-law finished cooking lunch that the atmosphere at home returned to normal.
During the dinner, the sister-in-law chatted from time to time and brought Xie Shan food.
Not only did Xie Shan sense that something was wrong, but Zhao Dong also felt that his sister-in-law's enthusiasm was too obvious.
However, the sister-in-law didn't realize it herself, and her warm-hearted attitude somewhat resolved the embarrassment caused by Xie Shan.
After the meal, the sister-in-law personally helped Xie Shan clean up the room.
Zhao Dong took Sophie back to the room, but as soon as she returned to the house, Sophie deliberately distanced herself from Zhao Dong.
Zhao Dong knew that it would take a long time for Sophie to trust and accept him again.
He was not in a hurry, it was useless to be anxious, so he could only test: "Are you angry?"
Sophie asked, "What am I angry about?"
Zhao Dong apologized: "I agreed to Xie Shan's matter before I had time to say hello to you."
Sophie simply replied, "I'm not that stingy."
As Sophie finished speaking, the atmosphere became quiet, a rare world between two people.
Since last night, it was a rare opportunity for the two of them to be alone.
Especially when he smelled Sophie's body fragrance, Zhao Dong was trapped by an unprecedented longing. He subconsciously wanted to get closer, but before he could make a move, Sophie noticed it first!
Sophie jumped up like a little rabbit, "What do you want to do?"
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "I...I just want to hug you..."
Sophie didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hid in the room in a panic, closed the door and said: "I'm tired... I want to take a nap... You... you... just go and do whatever you need to do.
"
The distance between one door and another is like a chasm, opening a gap between the two!
Zhao Dong felt depressed, but insisted: "I will guard you outside the door, and I will wait until you wake up before I leave."
Sophie adjusted her mood in the room and suddenly opened the door!
Zhao Dong's mood fluctuated. He thought Sophie's attitude had changed, but what he saw was a pair of cold eyes, "Zhao Dong, I know you want to ease the relationship between us."
"But the current situation between us is not caused by you alone. I am also responsible. I have not blamed you, and no one has blamed you."
"I know you want to work hard to solve it, but this time is different from before. It's not that you treat me better or you say a few words of love to me, so I can accept you again."
"I don't know how to explain it to you. I always feel like after this incident, someone has placed a magnet in my heart. I obviously want to bring you closer, but subconsciously want to push you away."
"I know this is hurtful to you, but I'm really confused now and don't know how to deal with this kind of thing."
"Give me some time and some space, okay?"
"You staying by my side like this all day puts me under a lot of pressure."
"Besides, you can't stay with me all the time. You have your own career to be busy with. Staying by my side all day won't solve any problems."
"My sister-in-law and I are going to help Xie Shan purchase daily necessities in the afternoon. Let me mediate, okay?"
Zhao Dong looked at Sophie intently, with a thousand words in his heart, but when he spoke, they all turned into one word, "Okay!"
