The atmosphere was so embarrassing and depressing!
At this time, Xiuhua looked at everyone. She walked to James and Christy and tried to mediate the dispute. "James, go upstairs to the study with your grandpa and dad. Tell them more about you two. It's not embarrass to explain the reason for the matter to your parents."
What she had said was certainly right. The question was whether James would like it or not? He had to maintain a certain degree of affection for Christy.
He turned to look at Christy and said, "I'm afraid that you'll bully her!"
What he said was both true and false, which made them have no choice! His words showed his love for Christy and it was also a warn to the Feng family. He meant that he knew they would certainly bully her, especially Jing. In fact, she had confronted Christy and she didn't like her.
"What are you talking about? When did our family bully outsiders? Especailly a girl? Don't worry. I promise you that I will return you a complete Christy!" As she said that, she patted his hands and said to Christy, "Don't be afraid. We are all reasonable."
Who could say that themselves were unreasonable? But even if they were reasonable, there were many ways, some of which were quite frightening.
Christy had only met Jing for two times and had felt that she was no match for her at all. Now seeing so many people, she was even more timid. She looked at James, looking like a pitiful little bird.
James held up Christy's hand lovingly with one hand and patted it gently with the other. He whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
His words really made Christy addicted to it. Whether he was sincere or acting, it was enough for her to see the prince charming talking to her like this in her life. She couldn't help but getting into the role.
She nodded hard. She was so meek and the smile on her face was so happy and sweet.
But the more she acted like this, the unhappier the elders of the Feng family were.
Seeing that there was not much hope to persuade James, they had to turn to Christy. Xiuhua continued, "Christy, you must love each other very much, right?"
Generally speaking, it must be like this! However, Christy didn't say anything. She just looked at James with affectionate eyes. She explained everything with body language.
"That's right. Anyway, we are family in the future. There are some words that we women should talk together. Don't worry. I believe that we can get along well." Xiuhua said kindly, "I promise no one will embarrass you."
She had said that and they had already got the marriage certificate. If they really wanted to become family, she couldn't go everywhere with James. The opportunity for them to get along with each other without James was still necessary.
With infinite tenderness in his eyes, James looked at Christy and said, "You, grandma and mom stay here for a while. Wait for me!"
He stressed the words "wait for me" to convey his feelings. Christy understood certainly. With a sweet smile on her face, she nodded and agreed.
