Capítulo 373: Shui's birthday banquet arc (3)

After the cake cutting ceremony, guests arrived one after the other to give Shui birthday wishes and gifts. As soon as Jun and Ai arrived, a sense of awkwardness loomed in the air but for the guests.

Meeting Shui was different but Jun and Ai meeting Xinyi and Zhiyuan? It would be bound to get uncomfortable!

But in contrast to what they imagined, Xinyi was the first one to actually hug Ai, which definitely took Ai aback. As Shui's mother, she wasn't expecting her to be so cordial.

"I am glad you came here," Xinyi withdrew and smiled. "I always wanted to thank you."

"Thank me?" She tilted her head.

"Of course. I heard what happened in Shanghai and how you stood up for Shui. Shui praised you so much when she returned. As a mother, I cannot be happier that you protected my daughter. And not just at Shanghai but from the moment you started dating Jun, you were never hostile towards Shui, which I sincerely appreciate. It takes guts to do that."
