Chen Xin said angrily: "I get angry whenever I talk about this matter. It just happened to be me, otherwise I don't know how it would end."
Xia Jin asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Liu Xiu has gone to my shop to cause trouble again?"
"Congratulations, you guessed it right. They didn't just go to your store to cause trouble. They seem to have some mental problems. Your mother actually thinks you were the one who had your stepfather fired."
"I almost died of laughter when I heard her say that. I've never seen a mother like her. If you didn't look so much like her, I would have suspected that she picked you up."
"Tell me, why is she so nice to a stepdaughter who has no blood relationship with her, but she is like this to you?"
Xia Jin said, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. I'm just waiting to see her retribution and what her good stepdaughter and son will do to her in the future. Okay, don't be angry, just continue."
Chen Xin said slowly: "I didn't recognize them at first. They didn't bring Xia Qingqing with them, so I thought they were just an ordinary group of diners."
"When we finished eating and came to pay the bill, Xia Qingqing's grandmother started crying and yelling about how she had to pay for eating in her granddaughter's restaurant."
"Your mother also scolded you for being unfilial, saying that you didn't care about their lives. Your father lost his job and you didn't come home to see him. She cried and said that the family had no money and couldn't support your brother."
"The situation is getting bigger and bigger. Maybe they're taking advantage of the fact that it's your store and aren't afraid of the waiters at all. Especially the old lady, she gets hurt everywhere when someone touches her, which makes your employees feel helpless."
"You weren't here, so they couldn't solve the problem. If I wasn't there, their plan might have succeeded, but it was me they happened to run into."
"I looked at them and told them that we opened the store together, and that I had full control while you were away. If they made trouble again, I would call the police. At first, they didn't believe me, but when I actually told everyone in your store to go to the police station, they started to get scared."
"They stopped crying and stood up to leave, but I stopped them several times and forced them to pay before letting them go. By the way, I even played a pity game for you in front of the other diners. You didn't see the painful look on their faces when they paid. It was hilarious."
"It's their fault for ordering expensive food. They wanted to dine for free but failed. They deserved it."
"The next day I was afraid they would cause trouble in your store again, so I went to check again. They didn't cause any trouble, but when I left I saw that old woman lurking across the street with bad intentions."
"I guess they were waiting for you to come back and cause trouble. I was afraid you would be unprepared and suffer if you confronted them, so I left you a note."
Xia Jin said, "They're really haunting me. I don't know who gave them the courage to come and cause trouble again and again. Do they really think I won't do anything to them?"
Chen Xin said, "No matter what, if you're on your own, try to avoid them. After all, your mother is among them. Just be patient and wait for your father to come."
Xia Jin said, "This is the only way. However, I still have to go to the store this afternoon to explain. If they don't bump into me, it's fine. But if they do, don't blame me for being rude. I have to scold them. First, I have to scare Liu Xiu with the fact that my dad gave me money."
Chen Xin said, "That's fine. I'll go with you this afternoon. If you can't come out, I'll come. I have nothing to do with them anyway."
Xia Jin lay on Chen Xin's shoulder and said coquettishly, "You are so good. I love you so much."
Chen Xin pinched Xia Jin's face with a look of disgust and said, "No, don't love me. If you love me, what will happen to the one in your family?"
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Hehe, I love them all."
The two of them ate and chatted in the house. Soon it was noon, and Chen Xin's parents came back from get off work. Xia Jin heard the door open and asked, "Are your parents back?"
"It's them. Come on, let's go out and show them. My mom has been wanting to see you, but she never had the chance. Today she can finally see you. Let me tell you, my mom really likes pretty girls."
Xia Jin said, "I'm a little nervous."
"Why are you so nervous? You'll know when you meet them. They are very enthusiastic." After saying that, he pulled Xia Jin out.
As Xia Jin walked out of the room, she met Mother Chen's gaze. Mother Chen's eyes lit up when she saw Xia Jin. She put her things away and walked over. She pinched Xia Jin's face and said, "Xinxin, where did you find such a beautiful girl? She's so pretty."
Chen Xin said, "How about you like it?"
"like."
Chen Xin smiled and said, "This is my deskmate I told you about, Xia Jin."
After hearing this, Mother Chen said, "Really? How could a mother treat such a beautiful girl like that? Xiaojin, it's okay. If your mother treats you badly, just come to Auntie's house and Auntie will be your mother."
Xia Jin looked at the enthusiastic mother Chen and said a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, no need, I can live well on my own now."
Father Chen noticed Xia Jin's reservedness and said, "You're too enthusiastic. You scared the child. How can you act like a mother right away?"
Mother Chen said, "Xiao Jin, don't get me wrong. Auntie likes you very much and wants to adopt you as her goddaughter. There is no other intention."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Auntie, I understand, but I can't make the decision on this matter myself. I have to ask my dad."
"Okay, okay, Auntie is waiting for your answer." Then she pulled Xia Jin and Chen Xin to sit on the sofa and started chatting with them.
After a while, Grandma Chen prepared the meal and started eating. Mother Chen was afraid that Xia Jin would be shy because it was her first time, so she kept picking up food for her at the table, fearing that she would not eat enough.
After having dinner at Chen's house and spending some time with Chen Xin's parents, Xia Jin finally understood why Chen Xin had developed such a personality. The family atmosphere was so good and her parents were both cheerful and generous.
Xia Jin did not go home after eating. The two of them rested for a while, and after missing the peak period, they went to Xia Jin's store near the department store.
Xia Jin first went to the Malatang restaurant to explain the situation. Xia Jin told them to wait for a while after get off work in the evening and hold a meeting to explain the New Year's arrangements.
After explaining the Malatang restaurant, Xia Jin went to the hot pot restaurant next door. There were not many people in the hot pot restaurant, with only a few tables scattered around, and they were almost finished eating. The employees in the restaurant were not busy, so Xia Jin explained everything to each of them. Anyway, they were staying here at night, so there was no need to worry about any danger at night.
After Xia Jin finished explaining, he was about to go back to the old store when he was blocked at the door by Liu Xiu.
