My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

Mr. Xie looked at the vase once again with suspicion only on his face. He didn’t found Li Lian’s words believable. Even if it was the truth, it sounded too fake to be true. He turned his head toward the man who had spoken, "Are you sure this is the same vase? Whether it is genuine or forgery?"

The man looked confused at his words. After all, this was the present given by Senior Mrs. Xie’s granddaughter. By far he knew Senior Mrs. Xie only have one son which is Mr. Xie and the granddaughter should be his daughter. He questioned how could a father ask the question which alluded as if she had bought a fake vase.

"No, this is genuine. I know as no one could replicate the vase. If you reached out your hands to touch the vase, you will be able to feel the coldness that came from the jade. This was one and only and by far I only know there are only four jade vase which have the same effect. Counterfeit could never reach the same effect ever," replied the man who then shook his head inwardly. He can’t believe a father would try to embarrass his own daughter. As by the tone Mr. Xie used showed that he indeed speculate Li Lian had brought a counterfeit.

"Maybe she ask for someone’s help," whispered Mrs. Xie who then look at Li Lian before shaking her head as if she was ashamed. "How could you ask for a help of a man you don’t know?" Mrs. Xie’s words were aimed at Li Lian and she sighed.

Senior Mrs. Xie’s eyes widened. "Do you hear what you are saying?" Her grandmother was angered by the words. She knew well what Mrs. Xie meant by her words.

"No, I mean," drawled Mrs. Xie, "It’s hard to believe that someone would give her a present for free. Not to mention sixty million yuan."

"I don’t think it hard to believe," came Li Jun Wei’s words from the place where he stood at, "Mis Li Lian is known to be very friendly with others and had always treated people humbly. There are many who love to be friend with her and this doesn’t have a border of age. The old and the young, they found her pleasing as she had never acted to be someone else she wasn’t. But haha," Li Jun Wei chuckled, "There was no one mentioning a man helping her. Don’t you think it is possible it was a woman? This family seem to really love jumping into conclusion before having a clear eyes on what is happening," remarked Li Jun Wei with disappointed look.

"No, Mr. Li there is a reason for my words," Mrs. Xie tried to fix the words she had uttered.

"A reason to slander your own daughter? I can tell how much I wouldn’t like to be a part of this family or party," Li Jun Wei then turned his face at Senior Mrs. Xie. "Fortunately there is still someone with a kind heart and clear mind like you, Senior Mrs. Xie."

Mrs. Xie had her expression turning red like her daughter in embarrassment and no words were able to come from her mouth as she didn’t want to turn the air worse. Xie Hue Lin clenched her hand, her eyes then went to He Chang Min wondering why he didn’t protected her when Li Jun Wei jabbed her but then she saw He Chang Min frowning. The smile appeared on her face thinking that he was on her side without knowing the reason for He Chang Min’s real frown.

"Let me explain this in my wife’s stead, Mr. Li. I’m sure she didn’t meant what she said, we are only surprised. Of course we are happy for her present," Mr. Xie didn’t want to side Li Lian but he thought that was the only way to gain Li Jun Wei’s favor. Deep down the family questioned why does Li Jun Wei defended Li Lian.

"Forget about that," Senior Mrs. Xie waved her hands as if to tell them to drop the conversation with a frown then turned at Li Jun Wei, "I’m sorry Mr. Li for the misunderstanding," Li Jun Wei nodded without a word and smiled. Senior Mrs. Xie then took hold of Li Lian’s hand to talk, "Do you know Mr. Li well?"

Li Lian blinked her eyes, not knowing how to break the news and thought she shouldn’t tell it here where her parents were near and many ears surrounding them. "Mr. Li is my boss," and Li Lian saw how her grandmother humming with an accepting tone before rubbing her shoulder.

From behind, Mrs. He came over to talk with Mr. and Mrs. Xie. After talking then Mr. Xie came to the middle of the room, holding a microphone on his hand to speak, "May I have everyone’s attention for a moment?"

All eyes then turned at the man to see how Xie Hue Lin had came with a shy expression and He Chang Min raised his brows, wondering what was happening when he felt a push from behind which came from his mother.

"Let’s go," said Mrs. He, her expression passive even though she had smiled to others before. "We can’t have everyone waiting only for you. That would be a great embarrassment."

"Go where? There?" asked He Chang Min to receive a roll of eyes from her mother. He was then continuously pushed to stand beside Xie Hue Lin. Seeing all eyes he had a feeling that something bad was about to begin.

"We have to a very delightful news to announce to everyone. Today we are not here only to celebrate my dearest mother’s birthday but also to make a clear of the relationship my daughter and Chang Min have. This lovely couple would be having their marriage under four months," Xie Hue Lin was over to roof with happiness while He Chang Min heard a crack behind his head and his eyes first went to his mother whose face was smiling before looking at Li Lian and the man beside him. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Mr. Xie continued, "Both us, and Chang Min’s parents have talked and gave our blessing to the couple. We both think that marriage should be done soon. Everyone here are the first one to behold the joyful news and we hope your greatest wishes for the marriage."
