Why don't you just say it directly:
“I heard your mother has a mental illness, so I secretly went to the nursing home this morning to check on her.”
She's the one who's crazy!
Before she could figure out how to start the conversation, Xie Yunzhou took her to a jewelry store in the mall.
With a shop assistant nearby, Shi Xi didn't feel comfortable speaking up, so she could only try on the sparkly necklaces and bracelets.
After finishing their shopping, Shi Xi suggested, "Shall we find a place to get some coffee?"
Let's find a quiet place to chat.
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Shi Xi looked at the bitter coffee in front of her, took a deep breath, and said frankly, "This morning, I went to a sanatorium in the suburbs."
As she spoke, Shi Xi stared at Xie Yunzhou's expression, watching for his reaction.
"Why did you decide to go to a sanatorium?" Xie Yunzhou's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"I heard some things about Auntie and thought she was living in a nursing home, so I wanted to visit her." Shi Xi finally confessed, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy."
"I know you're eager to meet your future mother-in-law, that's why you're being so proactive." Xie Yunzhou said with a smile in his eyes, not forgetting to tease Shi Xi.
Shi Xi's guilt instantly lessened, and she glared at him with her beautiful eyes, "What?! I was just curious and wanted to take a look!"
"Why do you never tell me about your family? You know everything about my family."
In the end, Shi Xi started to feel unbalanced.
Xie Yunzhou knew both the Hua family and the Shi family very well.
Xie Yunzhou knew everything about her social circle, including her assistants and agents!
Even her driver was delivered by Xie Yunzhou!
Shi Xi was completely unfamiliar with Xie Yunzhou's circle of relatives and friends.
It's a bit unfair to think about it!
I'm even angrier!
Xie Yunzhou watched helplessly as Shi Xi's initial guilt gradually turned into resentment, and finally into some resentment.
The way her beautiful, large eyes can shift emotions so quickly is truly admirable.
"Why are you angry? Is it because I didn't tell you about my mom?" Xie Yunzhou found it amusing and pushed the ice cream that had been served in front of Shi Xi. "Have some dessert first, and calm down."
Shi Xi scooped up a large spoonful of ice cream to calm herself down.
I'm a little angry.
Xie Yunzhou: "I didn't mean to hide my mother's situation. I thought you didn't want to hear it."
"It's alright, as long as you don't keep bringing it up." Shi Xi asked suspiciously, "What? Did someone say you were a mama's boy before?"
Xie Yunzhou: ...
“No, I’m just not used to having heart-to-heart talks with people.” Xie Yunzhou’s voice was gentle. “My parents are divorced. I lived with the Xie family when I was little. After their divorce, I lived with my mother.”
Later, she started her own career, and I was busy with my studies and business, so we rarely had heart-to-heart talks anymore.
"So you live alone now?" Shi Xi asked.
Xie Yunzhou: "My mother is a hard-working person, so I always lived on campus during my school years."
After starting work, I lived alone, only occasionally spending time with her during holidays.
Shi Xi comforted her, "That's how people who are busy with their careers are. Don't take it to heart. I'll celebrate the holidays with you from now on."
“You want to meet your future mother-in-law? I can take you to meet her,” Xie Yunzhou offered.
"Ah? Well, let's not do it for now! Since she's so busy, and I... I'm not ready either, let's wait a bit longer." Shi Xi stammered, trying to evade the question, then asked, "By the way, what does Auntie do?"
