The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 109

Published at 15th of April 2019 12:25:05 AM Chapter 109: 109
Looking at his naughty antics and happy face since yesterday, she had realised how drastically had Tang changed in the past few years, without anyone else realising it . And that there was only one person capable of bringing him out of his shell .

In the past few hours, the cold, unfeeling man had been replaced by a charming stranger, one whose life revolved around only one person .

But it was too late now…too late for anything!

She closed the distance between herself and her husband with hurried steps .
Looking at him for signs of anger, she said, "I couldn't help overhearing what Jia Li said . I think she is worried about being misunderstood by Mei Zhen . I don't blame her since she is caught in this situation like all of us are . But she is a good girl . "

"You don't need to defend her words to me . In fact, I have been thinking about how to tell Mei Zhen about this myself," he told his wife in a rare case of confiding into her .

It had been a couple of hours since the Xie family had come back to the hotel which they had booked for themselves . Jia Li had accompanied them and had gotten three of the best rooms arranged with special care in Tang's room . Now they were all seated in the dining area, whose wide, full length glass window provided a beautiful unobstructed view of Mount Mogan . The table was groaning under the weight of mouth-watering dishes, all locally produced and prepared .

"Moganshan really seems to be thriving in the past few years . It was a smart move on Wei's part to set up the institute here . I have visited the place . It seems to be doing well under your supervision," Mr . Xie said grudgingly to Jia Li, looking at the view outside .

Jia Li acknowledged the compliment with a small bow of her head in his direction .

A scowling Tang was nudged by his sister under the table .

"Stop giving such severe reactions every time Wei's name is mentioned . You don't know anything about him, remember," she muttered to him, under her breath .

Chu raised her wine glass in a toast to Tang's health . Since he wasn't allowed any alcohol right now, he clinked his glass of water with everyone .

"When do you intend to leave for Shanghai?" Chu addressed the question to her mother .

"Your father and I were thinking of leaving right after lunch . Are you sure that you are not coming back with us?" she asked in return .

Chu smiled in return and said, "Ethan is yet to pass the test of worthy of being my fiancé as per brother Tang . He has agreed to stay back here till big brother doesn't give him a seal of approval . "

"But where is Ethan? Why hasn't he joined us for lunch?" queried Mr . Xie .

"It's my luck to be surrounded by workaholic men . First the two of you and now him too . During his stay here in the past two days, he has gone chasing a story around the legend surrounding the sword which was forged for the Emperor of Wu by that legendary swordsmith Ganjiang . So he is interacting with the elders around to get their versions, anecdotes . Staying with me has at least taught him some basic Mandarin with which he is communicating with them . Though I am not sure how much would they be able to comprehend each other, what with the local dialect being different," she said the last line with a mischievous laugh .

Mrs . Xie shook her head fondly at her daughter's naughty look . Looking at both her children happy in the moment, she gave a content sigh . Only if she could ensure their happiness forever, she would not want anything else from life .

Unaware of her husband's scrutiny of her expressions, she continued to savour the moment .
Mr . Xie could make out his wife's thoughts from her demeanour . She was a simple woman who remained untouched by the wealth and glamour around their lives till date . It had taken him years to realise that he preferred her remaining like this instead of converting herself into a wealthy socialite like the other women in their circle . He had tried his hardest to provide the best for his family over the years . But he was coming to realise that maybe he had had his priorities wrong all this while . His son's smile today was probably worth the billions that he had earned till date .
Maybe life had decided to give him a chance at mending his relation with his son and he intended to use it to the maximum .

"I will ensure that our bond grows so strong again before his memory returns that he can't shut me out anymore, even if he tries to . I can't afford to lose his affection and respect again," he vowed silently .
