Among Xie's mother's four children, the two sons were not good at speaking, and the remaining two daughters were considerate, but they rarely acted like a spoiled child to her like Lin Xiangyi did.
Especially after getting married, everyone has their own family and is busy with their own lives, so there are few opportunities to say considerate words to her.
The reason why Lin Xiangyi acted like a spoiled child to her was to persuade her to accept the gift, which really made her happy and touched.
"Daughter, so you are here. I was looking for you outside but couldn't find you. By the way, you said you wanted to go to the city with Xiao for a prenatal checkup? The city hospital is bigger, with more complete equipment and more experienced doctors. If conditions permit, you should go to the city hospital. If Xiao is not free, Dad can go with you."
A male voice with attentive concern came out of nowhere. Lin Xiangyi and Xie's mother looked up at the same time and saw Lin Shan walking in with an earnest smile on his face.
"In-laws?" Seeing Lin Shan, Xie's mother stood up with a look of surprise, "You are finally here. I have been looking forward to seeing you. Did something delay you?"
Xie's father and mother still don't know what happened between Lin Shan and Lin Xiangyi. They think that on such a big day as the store opening, as Lin Xiangyi's biological father, Lin Shan should at least be there.
Of course, Lin Shan was not late on purpose. It was actually because Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi did not tell him about the opening of the store.
If the sales director hadn't seen him strolling around the factory this morning and curiously asked him why he didn't take a leave to attend the opening ceremony of his daughter and son-in-law's braised food store, he wouldn't have known that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had done something big without saying a word.
He immediately asked for leave and rushed here in a hurry.
Of course, at this time he didn't have the confidence to question Lin Xiangyi why she didn't tell him such a big thing. Not only did he not have the confidence, he also had to carefully apologize to Lin Xiangyi.
"Yes, I was busy with work and was delayed for a while, so I missed it."
"Qingxiao and I didn't invite you," Lin Xiangyi sneered.
"..." Lin Shan glanced at Xie's mother, concealing his embarrassment, and said, "You and Qingxiao didn't invite me, but I'm thick-skinned and came here by myself."
Lin Xiangyi sneered——
Before Lin Xiangyi could say anything, Lin Shan immediately stepped forward with the things in his hand and said flatteringly, "Daughter, this is the opening gift I bought for you, two cans of milk powder. You are still pregnant now, so eating more milk powder is good for your body and the baby in your belly."
Lin Xiangyi took a look at the two cans of milk powder, which were worth seventy or eighty yuan. OK?
Seeing that Lin Xiangyi accepted it reluctantly, Lin Shan's mouth twitched.
Lin Xiangyi looked at Lin Shan as if he were a monster and asked, "What did you call me just now?" She heard it as soon as Lin Shan walked in, and she thought she had heard it wrongly.
"Daughter," Lin Shan said as a matter of course.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” He used to call her “Xiangyi” and “Lin Xiangyi”, but now he calls her that in a more intimate way, as if they have a very good father-daughter relationship.
"You don't think that calling me daughter can repair the father-daughter relationship?" Lin Xiangyi asked with a smile.
"..." Lin Shan was very honest this time: "No, I just want to call you that."
Lin Xiangyi: “…” She looked at him expressionlessly for a long while, then turned and walked out.
"Have you been busy again? Be careful not to overwork yourself. The milk powder is here. Remember to take it home and drink it later," Lin Shan said loudly.
Lin Xiangyi left him with the back of his head.
This was enough to make Lin Shan happy. After all, Lin Xiangyi didn't kick him out, right?
Turning around, he saw Xie's mother looking at him and Lin Xiangyi's backs in surprise and suspicion.
Lin Shan: “…”
"My dear relative, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you," Lin Shan cleared his throat.
"My dear relatives, you and Xiangyi..." Xie's mother said hesitantly.
Although she had not met Lin Shan many times, she had the impression that he was a prudent and proper person. She was really surprised that he was trying to please Lin Xiangyi today.
"Well, it's all my fault. I made her angry," Lin Shan said self-deprecatingly. "I treated this child badly before, and now she doesn't want to talk to me. I can only admit my mistake to her and beg for her forgiveness."
Xie's mother was curious about what had happened that made Lin Shan, as a father, try so hard to please his daughter just to gain her forgiveness.
Seeing her curiosity, Lin Shan sat down and told Xie's mother everything he owed Lin Xiangyi.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not say it, but now, he has become frank about it.
It was indeed his fault, and he had to admit it.
After hearing this, Xie's mother stared at Lin Shan in silence for a long while.
"It's alright, if you want to scold me, go ahead," Lin Shan said, "I know I was really a jerk in the past and treated Xiangyi badly."
"It's indeed your fault!" Xie's mother tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help but say it out loud.
Of course, she knew that she had no right to accuse Lin Shan like this. After all, this was a family affair between Lin Shan and Lin Xiangyi. She was just Lin Xiangyi's mother-in-law, an outsider. What right did she have to interfere?
But now, rather than saying that she treats Lin Xiangyi as her daughter-in-law, it would be better to say that she now treats Lin Xiangyi as her daughter.
Since she is a daughter, it is naturally difficult for her to watch her being wronged and remain indifferent: "Xiangyi is your biological daughter, how can you treat your own daughter harshly just for the sake of a stepdaughter?"
Lin Shan nodded and said yes, he was indeed blind before.
"Xiangyi is such a good child. When I first came to propose marriage, you criticized Xiangyi verbally but actually cared about her in every way. I thought you loved her so much. I didn't expect that you treated her so harshly behind her back. It's rare that she can still be so kind and positive now."
Lin Shan looked downcast: "Yes, it's all my fault."
"My dear, what are you doing? How can you be so mean to your in-laws? It's outrageous." Xie's father happened to pass by the door. He didn't expect to hear Xie's mother scolding Lin Shan. He was shocked and interrupted her quickly.
Xie's mother was still angry: "It's okay, he deserves it!"
Lin Shan agreed guiltily: "Yes, father-in-law, this is what I deserve."
Father Xie: “…” What happened again?
Mother Xie told Father Xie the whole story. Although Father Xie was not as emotional as Mother Xie and did not directly scold Lin Shan, the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Shan was also full of disappointment.
But no matter what, Xie's father and mother both believe that no matter what, one family should not have two families become enemies.
Especially seeing Lin Shan's good attitude, Xie's mother was too embarrassed to say anything. She sighed and said, "My dear, since you know you are wrong, you should change for the better in the future. Xiangyi looks cold and hard-hearted, but she is actually very soft-hearted. As long as you apologize to her, she will see your good side and may forgive you one day."
"Okay!" Lin Shan responded quickly, feeling very grateful to his father and mother for their kindness.
At the same time, she felt a little relieved that both Xie Qingxiao and Xie's father and mother were very nice to Lin Xiangyi.
