Sweet Beauty

Chapter 995: Not Once Did He Look At Her

It wasn't that Wei Xiaoqing didn't know how much the people in the Hou Family hated her now. But she had no choice. She had gambled everything she had on the line for Hou Yingyi. So, no matter how difficult her life would be, she couldn't just give up.         

    

"Mom!" Wei Xiaoqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "Hou Yingyi hasn't been home for a month. Tomorrow is the New Year, don't you want him to come back? Who doesn't come home during Lunar New Year?"     

Yu Meilin bent down and picked up the magazine again. She flipped through the pages she had just read, ignoring Wei Xiaoqing.     

Wei Xiaoqing really couldn't suppress her anger and roared angrily. "Mom! Tomorrow is the New Year and Hou Yingyi hasn't come home. Aren't you afraid that others will slander our family? Do you think I'm saying this for my own good? I'm doing this for the Hou Family! Go out and take a look. Which family's son hasn't come home yet? But your son is still messing around outside. When the time comes, it won't be me who will be scolded by the others, but you as his mother!"     

Yu Meilin frowned in frustration and Wei Xiaoqing's voice could still be heard. "Mom, my mother will come tomorrow. If Hou Yingyi is still not back by then, I can't guarantee that my mother won't go crazy!"     

"She dares!" Yu Meilin angrily threw the magazine on the coffee table.     

Wei Xiaoqing looked at Yu Meilin and suddenly sneered. "It's not that you don't know my mother. She's crazy and like a rabid dog when she's angry. No one can stop her at that time. Mom, if you want the New Year's celebration to be peaceful, you'd better call Hou Yingyi now and tell him to come home!"     

Yu Meilin really didn't expect Wei Xiaoqing to call her own mother a rabid dog.     

Someone who didn't know how to respect her own mother, how could Yu Meilin ask Wei Xiaoqing to respect her?     

Wei Xiaoqing's words really left Yu Meilin speechless.     

But Yu Meilin also knew that Jiang Huifang, that woman, was really like what Wei Xiaoqing said. When she was angry, she would be like a rabid dog.     

When Jia Huifang went berserk, no one could really stop her.     

"I know." Yu Meilin suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke nonchalantly.     

Wei Xiaoqing pursed her lips proudly and her eyes showed a triumphant smile. Her hand gently touched her belly. "Then let's make a phone call. Call Hou Yingyi in front of me."     

Yu Meilin no longer cared about Wei Xiaoqing's aggression. After all, when she thought of Jiang Huifang's crazy appearance, her heart became scared to the point of panic!     

Why did she allow her son to marry such a woman?     

Yu Meilin picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed Hou Yingyi's number.     

As soon as the call was connected, she opened her mouth to scold him. "Today is New Year's Eve. If you don't come home, what're you doing outside?"     

Hou Yingyi's impatient voice came from the other line. "Mom, I don't want to go home! It's not like you don't know the reason."     

Yu Meilin mutely glanced at Wei Xiaoqing and when she saw Wei Xiaoqing's rather ugly expression, she smiled faintly. Oh, how she loved revenge!     

"Even if you don't want to go home, you still have to go home. You're the one who married her. You can't just leave her like this and let her disgust me, can you?"     

Wei Xiaoqing: "...."     

This mother-in-law. She actually said this to her husband in front of her!     

If it weren't for the fact that she was now living under someone else's roof and had to depend on the Hou Family to survive, she would have killed this old witch Yu Meilin for sure!     

Hou Yingyi yawned and said lazily, "Mom, it's just Wei Xiaoqing. You can handle her easily. Ask her to quickly return to her room and not bother you."     

"What about Jiang Huifang?" Yu Meilin said calmly to her son, "How crazy Jiang Huifang is, you know that, don't you? Tomorrow, she will come here. If you are not here, she would go crazy. Could it be that you still want me to settle this mess with your father?"         

    

Only now did Hou Yingyi remember that tomorrow was not only the New Year, but also the day Jiang Huifang came to collect her living expenses.     

He sighed in frustration. "That troublesome old woman!"     

Just as Yu Meilin was about to say something, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded from the receiver. "Which old woman has upset you?"     

Yu Meilin did not need to guess and knew that her son was playing with another woman outside. She did not know which woman was sleeping in his bed right now.     

Yu Meilin raised her head and looked at Wei Xiaoqing. She was really afraid that Wei Xiaoqing would go crazy with her when she (Wei Xiaoqing) heard the woman's voice.     

Fortunately, Wei Xiaoqing's face only turned a little pale and a little ugly. She did not show any signs of overreaction.     

Yu Meilin pretended not to have heard the woman's voice and slowly said, "Wake up quickly. Pack your things and come back tonight. Don't make me and your father worried."     

After saying that, she hung up the phone.     

Putting the phone down, she deliberately shook it in front of Wei Xiaoqing. "I have already called him. Don't worry, he will be back tonight."     

Wei Xiaoqing gritted her teeth and glared at Yu Meilin. Just now, the words Yu Meilin had just said were very unpleasant!     

If it weren't because she wanted Hou Yingyi back, Wei Xiaoqing would have already started tearing Yu Meilin apart.     

She snorted angrily and turned to go upstairs.     

Yu Meilin watched Wei Xiaoqing's retreating figure and waved her hand mockingly.     

Just as Yu Meilin had said, Hou Yingyi really returned home as the sky began to darken.     

At that time, Yu Meilin, Hou Shihong, and Wei Xiaoqing had finished their dinner. Wei Xiaoqing did not go upstairs right away and sat in the living room. She pretended to be watching TV with Yu Meilin and Hou Shihong, but in reality, she was actually waiting for Hou Yingyi to come home.     

As soon as Wei Xiaoqing saw Hou Yingyi, she rose from the sofa and walked with her big belly. She helped Hou Yingyi take off his coat. "Why are you coming home so late? Mum and dad were waiting for you to have dinner together."     

Hou Yingyi didn't give Wei Xiaoqing a glance at all. After tossing the coat to her, he walked towards Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin.     

It was as if Wei Xiaoqing was just a maid at home. He didn't need to pay any attention to her.     

Wei Xiaoqing silently gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart. Nevertheless, she still pretended to be understanding and hung the coat on the hanger before turning around to follow Hou Yingyi quickly.     

"Mom, dad." Hou Yingyi greeted Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin and sat down on the sofa.     

He'd specially chosen a single sofa and leaned on it with his body inclined. It was as if he wanted to sit there alone.     

Wei Xiaoqing's face became tense and she walked to the sofa opposite Hou Yingyi with an ugly expression.     

Hou Yingyi had never looked at her from the time he arrived home until now. Wei Xiaoqing's eyes seemed to be fixed on his body, but not once did he look at her.     

Hou Yingyi was really irritated by Wei Xiaoqing's gaze. He stood up. "Mom, dad, I'm tired. I'm going back to my room to take a shower first and then sleep."     

Hou Shihong nodded in understanding. "Yes, business at the nightclub has been so hot lately, I'm sure you're tired. Go take a shower and go to bed early. Tomorrow is the New Year, you should take a day off too."         

    

"Okay."     

Hou Yingyi was very respectful to his father and mother. After saying goodnight to them like a good boy, he went upstairs.     

When Wei Xiaoqing saw Hou Yingyi going upstairs, she could no longer sit still. She quickly stood up and didn't even say goodnight to Hou Shihong and Yu Meilin at all as she chased after Hou Yingyi.     

Hou Yingyi walked into the corridor and suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He frowned and started running. He ran three flights of stairs at a time as if a ghost was chasing him.     

Wei Xiaoqing saw him running and shouted from behind. "Yingyi, wait for me!"
