Maria Yang was trying to suppress her worries, but she couldn't. It wasn't like she couldn't accept this marriage, but as Dan stated, she could remember nothing much about the night she was with her fiancé, but his face was remarkable.
Due to her job, she had witnessed so many cases, it had frightened her. Besides, Qin Bin Xinjiang wouldn't let them in peace if he didn't find Dan suitable. Ah, that man was unpredictably possessive, and Hu inherited this from his father.
She didn't want to think of the coming future.
"Get in Xue," Bella asked, and eyes rolled on her.
Dan swallowed, why was she so panicked? Her face was as pale as flour. Who was the guest who had horrified her this much?
"Xue? What is this face?"
Dan asked, cleaning her face, she stood up from the sofa.
"Master Qin Bin Xinjiang is here, with his wife."
Dan felt that her mouth ran dry! Now that she came here, everyone showed up all of a sudden, for what sake all of these were happening?
She was soaking in confusion, Mr. Qin was her father's best friend according to what Hu stated and she could ask so many questions. The big question was what had happened to her parents?
On another side, it was about Maria, she didn't want to encounter master Qin Bin. After their divorce, they acted toward each other as if enemies, and it had been hurting and sacrificing Hu? How did he feel now? Would he come back to see this encounter?
"What should we do now?"
Bella asked in a panic.
"Welcoming them!" Maria gathered her courage and took a deep breath, now that her son needed her, and this opportunity came after years she had missed, nothing could stop her.
'Hu, you must have been suffering all of these alone.' Dan told herself and followed them, her stomach was burning, she couldn't remember the man and years passed since they had met, could he recognize her? Presumably, her family name could persuade him to be suspicious.
'I need you, Hu, please come back home.'
Why not text him? She took out her cellphone and opened the text box, quickly wrote a few words, and sent it.
Peeking at her, Bella sneered, "my baby sister is texting my brother?"
Dan bit her lip, flustered, she couldn't deny that Qin Hu was enough attractive that no woman could resist, but for Dan, it might take time to let the ice between them melt. He wanted to be her friend first, she discovered it the moment he honestly revealed the truth. Although, she was still upset that he didn't come to tell her before. But she could forgive this after what he had done all this time.
Getting inside the living room, there was a slender man in a black suit, his gray hair combed perfectly. Hu had inherited a mixed beauty from this former couple.
He was sitting on a sofa and a stunning almost young woman was beside her. That was Rebbeca Qin, his current wife. The woman's complexion was shrouded with dark gloomy clouds.
It caught Dan's attention when her eyes ran to the door and an eight-year-old boy entered. Rushing to Mrs. Liu. Hugging the old woman said, "Mrs. Liu, you left me to come here and live alone!"
The old woman smiled, patting his head, she asked Xue to serve the coffee.
'I had no family until now, and it came all of a sudden.' Dan told herself, holding her breath in her chest. Could they accept her? They were utterly different than Maria.
"Come, young master, have your seat. I did not know you are coming, otherwise, I would bake your birthday cake."
The boy released her and looked back at his father with a flourished face, "see, father! She remembers my birthday."
The man nodded and his eyes rolled on the new arrivals. He got to his feet, his face was unreadable.
'What are you doing here, master Qin! Even she didn't know it.' Dan was scared, as Hu mentioned his father wanted him to get married as soon as possible, and this man came right after that. Was he here to force him into an arranged marriage?
Not this thought was killed when a young beautiful lady entered and Bella creased her eyebrows.
They all came to the girl and Maria.
"I see that you are here, to visit my son!"
Mr. Qin Bin stated. His tone was dry.
"Yes, my daughter wants to know her brother better. I don't think that anyone is allowed to avoid them."
"Of course, not!" Rebecca noted, her eyes rolling on her amazed son. His smile grew larger. She was acting snobbishly, Bella disliked the way she was staring at her mother. Was she comparing herself with her?
"Sister Bella? Brother told me a lot about you. You are more beautiful than your pictures. I am Zihao."
Bella blushed, did Hu talk about her with his brother? This cheerful child even called her sister, unlike his mother he was truly lovely.
"Who is this beautiful lady?"
Dan extended her hand, smiling at the man who was her father's friend. Pretending that everything was calm while a storm was rebelling in her pounding heart.
"I am Dandan, Tian Dandan!"
The man's eyes ran wide but quickly shrugged them off and extended his hand to the girl.
"I am Bella's friend."
She informed and the man smiled, "welcome, lady Tian."
'How is this possible? Even her eyes are exactly like him, Tian Taio, my brother!'
"Thank you, sir! I hope we don't disturb you."
She snatched an eye from the girl. And the man began to introduce his family and the girl was Li Anhe, Rebecca's cousin. It seemed she was also Hu's classmate in high school, she had a perfect body and long wavy blond hair, big blue eyes.
'She is here for a purpose.' Why does her heart hurt? She didn't fall for Hu in such a short time, did she? She was impressed by what he did, it was all of that! After all, she would accept the divorce if Hu was in love with another woman! Why didn't she think of it that night?
"Please have your seat, I will bring sweet and more coffee."
Dan found Mr. Qin's look on her, it was embarrassing that they couldn't talk easily. She didn't want to bring up that matter in front of others.
"Tell us, about you, Bella! How are your grades? I heard that you are a student at law university?"
"Yes, Mr. Qin! We both study law."
The man nodded, "you are walking in your parents' shoes."
He snapped.
"Ah, darling! Perhaps, she likes it." Rebecca stated.
"How about lady Anhe? What did she study?"
Dan uttered, could not even believe herself.
"Oh, she is a pediatrician. She works in Green hospital of Chen family."
Dan was crying inside, why? Why everyone was related to the Chen family, certainly she knew about the occurs and Anastasia's nose. These people weren't here for that cause, were they?
Let alone all of it, this girl was here for another reason, she was here for Hu. This part was scraping her heart.
