Chapter 463: You Have to Pretend Better (1)_1
"That’s right, I got off work early today and thought I’d pick up your dad on my way home. But I never expected that when I got to your dad’s workplace, I saw him chatting under the tree by the entrance with a woman, laughing so heartily. He didn’t even notice when I arrived," Loo Yaxin said, and Situ Xin could clearly hear the disappointment in her voice.
Situ Xin turned to look at her dad with an unfriendly gaze. Although she didn’t really believe her dad would do something to betray her mom, in today’s society, sometimes you don’t need to want to do something bad, it just happens that some rotten people stick to you, and what happens next can be unexpected.
Feeling wronged, Situ Haotian caught his daughter’s condemning look. Seeing his wife’s disappointed expression and tone, he suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong. "Honey, I didn’t mean to, I just didn’t expect you to come looking for me, so I..."
"Don’t make excuses. If it wasn’t intentional, that’s even scarier, it means you just don’t care about me anymore. Baby, and there’s more, even worse stuff," Loo Yaxin snapped at Situ Haotian, then turned to Situ Xin and said, "Baby, you don’t know, the worst part is, when I confronted your dad, the way he introduced me to that woman, I saw contempt and hostility in her eyes. But when I told your dad, he just wouldn’t believe it. He even said I was being paranoid."
"Dad, did this really happen?" Situ Xin was now completely on her mom’s side. Regardless of whether her dad had an affair with that woman or not, he shouldn’t have taken her side. In reality, Situ Haotian wasn’t really taking the other person’s side, but Situ Xin and her mom, Loo Yaxin, definitely didn’t see it that way.
Now, Situ Xin was speaking up for her mom, seeing how emotionally fragile she was. If she, as a daughter, didn’t support her at this moment, her mom’s heart would surely hurt even more.
"Baby, listen to me, that woman is just a new assistant at my job. We only have a professional relationship. Your mom is just being too suspicious," Situ Haotian quickly explained when he saw his daughter misunderstanding him too.
"I’ll have someone look into this matter, and it would be best if it turned out mom was just being paranoid. But if that new assistant really has some inappropriate intentions, or if there’s something improper between you two... Dad, you know what I’m capable of. So don’t blame me when the time comes," Situ Xin had an almost maniacal obsession when it came to infidelity.
"Alright, alright, go ahead and investigate, Baby. It’s good for you to look into it personally, so that your mom can be reassured by the final outcome," Situ Haotian knew his daughter’s temper very well, and he wasn’t at all bothered by her not-so-friendly stance towards him.
