BXBX NOVEL Chapter 208 - Mother's Knows Things
\'Stupid Son In-law?\'
Jinhai looked at the couple in front of him confusedly. He didn\'t understand what was going on.
So they knew him and Hei-Ran were only pretending to date? Wait! they knew about his feelings for Hei-Ran? How was that even possible?
Hei-Ran was also shocked by what was happening right now? What does her father mean by her mother was right? And what does she mean by stupid son-in-law? Was going to be their Son-in-law, Song Jinhai?
Wait did Jinhai just say he was in love with her? Did Jinhai truly say that? Was this some kind of joke?
Wait, her parents also knew they\'ve been lying to them? How?
Jinhai and Hei-Ran weren\'t the only ones in room that were shocked and confused. Every other person who had come to tonight and we\'re now standing in and outside of the kitchen were also shocked and confused, most especially A-Yeong.
Tilting her towards them, Mrs Su asked, "Surprised huh?"
"Honey, they are more than surprised. They looked stupified. And I think you slapped them way to hard" He said as he walked closer to her. He reached for her reddened palm and blow on it, before wrapping his hand around her shoulder.
"Do you think I slapped them too hard?" Mrs Su turned to her husband and asked.
"Well you\'ve always had a iron fist, I think that was moderate considering your strength" He paused and looked at Hei-Ran and Jinhai and sighed before the continued, "And I think they both deserve it." He shrugged.
"Yes you\'re right" She nodded affirmatively before turning towards them.
"My husband is right, you guys deserve more beating. You insulted us by lying to us, most especially you Hei-Ran. I\'m quite disappointed in you. Did you think you can lie to your mother? I gave birth to you and I know you. So you thought I couldn\'t see through your silly act when you walked through that door the first day you came here for lunch. You couldn\'t even sit one meter close to him, neither did you laugh or smile at him. No girl in love would be as stiff as you. You\'re my child and I carried you for nine months no and raised you for more than two decades. So I know you Hei-Ran, you can never be an actres, you suck at acting. I\'m sorry to disappoint you honey, even if you try becoming an actress , mother will never watch your movies. Actually, I\'m no one in this room will." Mrs Su said to Hei-Ran\'s mortification.
"I slapped you because I was disappointed you thought about lying to your mother and for not telling me the truth about what happened back then. I never brought you up that way, and I also slapped that dumb ass boss of yours who obviously likes you but he\'s so dumb not to tell you. Don\'t ask me how I know this, it\'s one of a mother\'s special talent. They tend to see things that are not there or what you children are desperately trying to hide, like the way he looks at you when you\'re not looking. He\'s such a fool" Mrs Su glanced at Jinhai and eyed him.
"If he asks you out make sure you play hard to get. He\'s stupid" Mrs Su scoffed at him. Jinhai didn\'t know if he was to laugh or cry. He simply lowered his head and let the woman continue what she was saying. A few words bashing were not going to kill him, but what would was Hei-Ran\'s reaction after now. That was what scared him.
Mrs Su took a step closer to Hei-Ran, she used her hand to lift her chin up so Hei-Ran could look at her eyes.
Hei-Ran felt her eyes sting with tears when her mother cupped her face. She didn\'t know it they were tears of regret or relief. Regret for lying to her mother or relief for finally having a burden taken off her shoulders which has been weighing her down for weeks. The thought of lying to her parents and family was suffocating. But now that everything was brought to light she couldn\'t feel more relieved.
"Mom, I\'m sorry." She apologized as tears slipped out of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks but her mother was quick to catch it.
"No honey you shouldn\'t apologize. I should be the one to apologize to you." She said as she kept wiping her tears away.
Hei-Ran shook her head and held her mother\'s hand to stop her from apologizing. "Mom, don\'t."
"No dear I should. I\'m sorry for pressuring you into getting married. I only wanted the best for you, every mother wants the best for their children. I wanted you to settle down and have a family of your own so you won\'t feel lonely. I don\'t want that for you and that\'s why I pressured you. I\'m sorry okay, mother will change. I won\'t force you anymore, and even if you don\'t like Jinhai back, I\'ll wait till you find someone you love and who loves back." She told in her motherly voice while Hei-Ran nodded. Mrs Su hugged her and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"Stop crying and don\'t ever lie to us again." Mrs Su added while Hei-Ran bobbed her head up and down.
Seul-Bi also went to her sister and hugged her too. "Don\'t cry sist. You\'re ruined your mascara." She teased her as she wiped the remnant of tears from her sister\'s eyes, while Hei-Ran nodded her head.
Mrs Su looked at Jinhai and shook her head. She leaned closer to him and leaned towards his ears and said, "I\'m sorry I can\'t help you. You have to man up and own your feelings. Play your cards right and you might just be lucky." Jinhai looked at the woman in bewilderment as she winked at him.
He didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry, but one thing he knew was that he was nervous. Nervous about the future turn of events between him and Hei-Ran.
Mrs Su turned towards A-Yeong and scoffed.
"I guess you must be a little disappointed since you plan of disgracing Hei-Ran didn\'t work?" She spoke in a livid voice, but A-Yeong didn\'t flinch by what she had said, rather she acted non chalant. Mrs Su looked at her and hissed, she didn\'t expect anything from her brother\'s spoilt brat.
