693: Regan!!!

Regan!!!

Seeing Darren's hand wrapped around Qiu Meihui's wrist, Xiu frowned deeply. Her eyes slowly cleared up as some reason came back to her. She hurriedly slapped his hand away and then even pushed him away saying, "Don't touch her! Didn't I tell you not to touch her? She is an unscrupulous person, you shouldn't touch her."1

Darren glared back at Qiu Meihui saying, "But she..."

Xiu placed her finger over his lips and shook her head repeatedly. For the very first time, even she was unable to calm him down. He had been standing by for far too long and the credit for that went to his dearest wife who even before going on the stage had warned him, 'No matter what happens, you won't step in. Even if it gets bloody, you won't take part in it. You're gonna get very angry but I only want you to stand by my side and do nothing.' She even went as far as asking him to promise her that he won't interfere with anything. No matter what the circumstances.

At that time, he was confused as to what could possibly happen? Weren't they just going to congratulate the newlyweds? It didn't seem like a big deal. But apparently, he hadn't seen what Xiu had. Time proved that her intuition was very accurate. She had seen through Qiu Meihui's jealousy and dislike for her clearly. And someone like Xiu who had lived surrounded by jealousy in her previous life knew exactly how far a woman's jealous heart could go.

None of Qiu Meihui's words or actions were out of her imagination. Xiu had seen through her too well. In fact, if Xiu had a calm mind right now, she'd even laugh at how predictable Qiu Meihui was. But fortunately or unfortunately, currently, Xiu's mental state was anything but calm right now.

Under the vigilant eyes of the crowd, Xiu and Darren were having an argument. But just like their love, even their argument was very unique because no word was exchanged. None! They both just stared into each other's eyes and continued their silent exchange of words.

Meanwhile, Xin Zemin was now looking at his wife. Seeing the sadness in Zhao Huan's eyes, his heart clenched and he shook his head. "Huanhuan, hear me out! She..."

"If you're gonna say she isn't your daughter, save it. We have a DNA test report," Xin Zimen chimed in for his dear elder brother.

Xin Zemin was stumped for words as he said in confusion, "What?"

"And it's a perfect match as well," added Xin Zimen with a smile. "She indeed is your daughter."

He looked back at his wife again who seemed to be holding back her tears. He could clearly see it in her eyes; betrayal, heartbreak. But how was he supposed to explain this?

"Maybe the DNA test is forged," said Xin Zemin.

Zhao Huan glared at him through the sheen of tears in her eyes as she said, "Min, her birth mother's name is Carina Novell." Xin Zemin's eyes went round as he froze for a second. "Do you still want to say that she isn't your daughter?"

Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as he repeated, "She is alive?" He held Zhao Huan's hands with a joyful look saying, "Huanhuan, our daughter is alive. Oh my God! I can't believe this. Am I dreaming?" He looked at his brother, "You aren't lying, right? This isn't a trick, right? Her DNA does match with me, right?"

Although Zhao Huan wanted to see him happy, she even wanted him to accept Xiu... But she'd be lying if she said it didn't hurt a little seeing how happy he was. Indeed, a child was still the biggest happiness in a relationship. And she couldn't provide him that. So what she gave all of her love to him, she couldn't give him a child of their own. 

Seeing how her tears fell down, Xin Zemin's joy evaporated suddenly. He just realized something was wrong. He helped her in taking a seat and crouched down before as he held her hands saying, "Huanhuan, why are you crying? This is supposed to be a happy moment."

"Of course, it's happier for you. You finally have a child of your own that I couldn't give you."

Xin Zimen tutted at his brother saying, "I have never seen someone so shameless. Even after hurting sister-in-law, you're happy?"

Xin Zemin glared at his younger brother, "I have never done anything to hurt her."

Their banter attracted everyone's attention towards them. After all, everyone was curious to know about Xiu's real identity. From Xin Zemin's expressions, it could already be seen that he acknowledged Xiu as his daughter. But if he was accepting it so readily, he was actually gambling on the power and position he had in the Xin Clan. Not to forget that this meant he cheated on his wife and she must be really hurting now.

"How can you be this insensitive?" said Xin Zimen with a scowl. "Do you know how upset and conflicted sister-in-law had been since she learned you cheated on her?"

"What? But I never cheated on her," retorted Xin Zemin. "I'd never do that! Not ever!"

Zimen narrowed his eyes at his elder brother as he pointed towards Xiu, "Then are you still saying, she's not your daughter?"

"I'm not saying that either," replied Xin Zemin. 

"Uncle, you're being very strange now. You said she is your daughter and you're also saying that you didn't cheat on aunt. But aunt never gave birth. So, how are you gonna explain Xiu's existence?"

Xin Zemin looked up at his nephew and sighed out, "If you all give me a chance then I'll explain it! Stop cornering me already!"

 "Explain then!" said Zhao Huan in a firm voice.

Xin Zemin took a deep breath and opened his mouth...

"Regan!!!"

A sudden cry of Xiu attracted everyone's attention back towards the pair who had been lost in their own argument while they were busy trying to hear out the truth from Xin Zemin.
