"Miss, Master wants you to come over," the maid said.

"Okay."

In the face of the message from the maid, Xi calmly responded. After the maid bowed and left,

"My dad suddenly came back," Xi seemed a bit flustered.

"Why are you panicking?" Lily Wu seemed relaxed.

"If he sees Lily..."

"So what? He won't easily recognize me. I'm happy that you worry about me, but have you considered whether this guy will cooperate?"

Lily Wu pointed at me.

Xi looked at me with a mixture of emotions, while I stared at her with anger.

"Please think about your family, Yu. If you don't cooperate, Xi will have to call Lily... So..."

This sentence that came out of Xi's mouth left me speechless in shock. It didn't seem like something Xi would say.

Lily Wu said happily, "Xi, someone finally admires you. You should be firm with trash like him."

Xi nodded.

"The two of you are in cahoots..."

"Shut your smelly mouth. Killing you would be easy," Lily Wu pulled out a delicate little pistol from her skirt.

"This is the weapon I used for self-defense abroad. Of course, it can also be used to kill someone. Although it can only hold one bullet, it won't have any problem blowing your head off."

I thought this blond villainess was only good at talking and fighting, but it seemed like she was serious when it came to playing dirty.

A real man can bend and stretch.

"That's right. Being a silent lamb is your only way out," Lily Wu said proudly. I wanted to spit at her.

"Yu, let's go see Dad," Xi held onto my arm. With my free hand, I touched whether my phone was there.

"Don't think about calling the police or anything. It will only put your family in danger. Don't think I'm joking," Lily Wu had a frivolous smile on her face, but I couldn't exclude the possibility that she would do such a thing.

Am I completely suppressed? What have I become?

Temporarily giving up on the idea of calling the police, Xi and I went to the living room.

A middle-aged man who seemed to have gained weight sat on the leather sofa, smoking a cigar with an unhappy expression. There was a heavily made-up woman next to him, also with a displeased expression.

"Dad, Mom," Xi obediently greeted.

"Is this the guy?" Xi's father looked at me with disgust.

"That's right... luckily, his address hasn't changed. Xi finally found him," Lily Wu said.

"Really? He doesn't look impressive at all,"

"How can someone like him match with our Xi?"

Xi's parents looked down on me and thought I wasn't worthy. I wasn't angry, but rather happy.

I wanted to say, "I also think we are a mismatch, totally unsuitable."

But Lily Wu glared at me.

"But no matter what, this is a promise. No matter what kind of person he is, Xi will stay with him."

"No!" Xi's mother shouted, "Master, why don't you speak about your beloved daughter? What makes this countryside boy worthy of Xi?"

Xi's father took a hard drag on his cigar.

"Master... you should say something,"

"Stop it! Since it's like this, we will hold the wedding the day after tomorrow. Let's get this over with. Butler! Butler!"

"Is there anything you need, sir?" an old man with a white beard and dressed in a butler's uniform appeared in sight.

"Go and send out invitations. Invite all the famous businessmen. The wedding must be lively; we can't lose face," said the old man.

"Yes, sir," the butler bowed and left.

Xi's father, on the other hand, did not show any sign of joy on his face. He just put out his cigar in the ashtray, stood up, and left. Xi's mother followed suit, seeming to carry a lot of resentment.

"Xi, it's a success. You don't have to marry to Japan," said Xi's mother.

"Mm..." Xi seemed to be happier than anyone else, and I began to notice something.
