Chapter 273 - 265: Staying in Hong Kong
He Xuewen left Hong Kong the very next day. He had to hurry back to meet up with Yang Wenbin, but Sisi stayed behind. Mu Xiulan really couldn’t bear to let her go and pleaded with her to stay a few more days for some mother-daughter bonding.
He Xuewen didn’t object either. After giving Sisi a few words of caution, he left, but not before leaving her with enough money to spend without holding back, telling her to buy whatever she liked!
However, there was hardly any chance to spend that money. It seemed like Mu Xiulan, trying to make up for the years of absence, bought piles upon piles of clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, and more for Sisi until Sisi was almost dazzled by it all.
Mu Xiulan saw her regained daughter Sisi in a very precious light, treading cautiously in every word and action. This sentiment was also shared by Qiao Ziqiang, who doted on Sisi as his own. It can all be summed up in one sentence:
Buy whatever you want, do whatever you want, we’ve got the money and the manpower, nothing to fear!
Totally cool and impressive!
If it wasn’t for the fact that in her heart she was somewhat disgusted by the thought of him taking Daddy’s wife, Sisi would have actually thought this Boss Qiao was quite considerate.
But now that she thought about it, it wasn’t entirely Mu Xiulan and Boss Qiao’s fault. At that time, with He Xuewen’s life hanging in the balance, Mu Xiulan was a beautiful and delicate lone woman who encountered a heroic gangster boss in her most vulnerable moment—the rest of the story was predictable even to a mentally deficient person.
Besides, looking at it now, Boss Qiao treated step-mama Xiulian quite well. He gave Mu Xiulan a legitimate status and even set up a garment factory for her. He was usually very compliant, a perfect image of a good man. If it weren’t for the fierce aura he exuded, no one would think a man who was so afraid of his wife could be a ruthless gangster leader.
"Mama, is it really impossible for you and Daddy to get back together?" Sisi still wanted to ask this question on behalf of He Xuewen.
