Chapter 43 -43 Dissatisfied? Then Haunt My Dreams
“Why did you come back at this time?” Xu Jinzhi asked.
Xu Zhen snorted coldly, “What? Have I interrupted something between the two of you?”
“Heh,” Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh, “If I really wanted to do something sneaky, why would I even come back?”
Hearing this, Xu Zhen, already annoyed, became even more irritated. He glared, scowling as he said, “Can’t you be more reserved?”
Xu Jinzhi walked up to Xu Zhen and took his arm, walking towards the villa as he spoke, “I haven’t seen you in days. Did you miss me?”
“What’s the use of missing you?” Xu Zhen gave Xu Jinzhi a sideways glance, his tone somewhat melancholic, “You still went to see Xie Yanchuan first when you got back.”
“You really can’t compare to him,” Xu Jinzhi said, resigned.
“If I and he fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?” Xu Zhen asked seriously.
“First of all, both of you can swim and don’t need me to rescue you,” Xu Jinzhi said, and before Xu Zhen could retort, he quickly continued, “But of course, if I absolutely had to save one, I’d definitely save you!”
“Are we good now?” Xu Jinzhi tilted his head to look at Xu Zhen.
“Hmph!” Xu Zhen snorted with feigned dignity but seemed satisfied.
“When the time comes for your mom’s anniversary, remember to bring him along to show her,” Xu Zhen thought for a moment and added, “If your mom doesn’t like him, it’s still not too late to switch.”
Knowing the latter comment was meant as a joke, Xu Jinzhi could only smile helplessly. What else could he do? This was his own father.
What more could he do?
“Did you hear me?” Xu Zhen, not hearing Xu Jinzhi respond, asked again.
“I heard you,” Xu Jinzhi replied.
Meanwhile, Xie Yanchuan was still on his way back, alone in the car, silently lost in thoughts, involuntarily recalling the image of Xu Jinzhi kissing him just moments ago.
This was not their first kiss, but this time it was completely different from the previous ones!
Xie Yanchuan felt warmth in his eyes. His Adam’s apple shifted slightly, and he kept his gaze ahead.
To divert his attention, Xie Yanchuan started thinking about something else.
He had previously felt that his future father-in-law had some reservations about him, as his attitude was hardly passionate.
But Xu Jinzhi said it wasn’t personal discontent; Xu Zhen would be dissatisfied with anyone.
Xie Yanchuan was puzzled, not understanding the reason.
Xu Jinzhi said that once he had a daughter, he would naturally understand…

The anniversary day arrived quickly, and Xie Yanchuan arrived at the Xu Family’s home early in the morning, ready to go to the cemetery with Xu Jinzhi and Xu Zhen.
Being in the same car with Xu Zhen, Xie Yanchuan couldn’t help feeling nervous.
He now understood the issue he hadn’t before; if he had a daughter in the future, he couldn’t imagine the day she would get married.

So at this moment, Xie Yanchuan could very well understand Xu Zhen’s attitude.
Throughout the journey, Xu Jinzhi kept talking to Xie Yanchuan, and Xu Zhen just listened, then suddenly snorted coldly, making Xie Yanchuan really wish Xu Jinzhi would stop talking to him.
But Xu Jinzhi pretended not to see and kept talking to Xie Yanchuan nonstop until they reached the cemetery.
The car stopped at the roadside, and the three of them got out. Xu Jinzhi was holding a bouquet of flowers, while Xie Yanchuan and Xu Zhen each carried items needed for tomb sweeping.
Within minutes, they arrived in front of the gravestone of Xu Jinzhi’s mother.
The area around the tombstone was very clean, after all, they paid an expensive maintenance fee every year, but Xu Zhen still crouched down, wiping the gravestone carefully with a towel.
“We, father and daughter, are here to see you, and we’ve also brought along your future son-in-law to meet you,” Xu Zhen said quietly.
“Hello, madam. My name is Xie Yanchuan, and I am…” Xie Yanchuan turned his head to look at Xu Jinzhi, then continued, “I am Jinzhi’s fiancé. We are going to get married soon. Don’t worry, I will take good care of Jinzhi in the future.”
As soon as Xie Yanchuan finished speaking, he heard Xu Zhen continue, “If you are not satisfied with him, you just have to let me know in a dream, it’s not too late to change him.”
“Don’t just be fooled by his decent appearance and think he is okay. Judging whether a man is good or bad isn’t just about his looks. You also need to keep a close eye on him later, and don’t let him bully our daughter.”
“If you can’t handle him, just tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Xu Zhen said this so seriously that Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Xie Yanchuan opened his mouth to say something but couldn’t utter a word, only managing to helplessly glance sideways at Xu Jinzhi.
Xu Jinzhi shrugged, indicating there was nothing he could do.
However, as Xu Zhen continued to speak, his voice started to break a little, and the smile on Xu Jinzhi’s face faded somewhat. She then took Xie Yanchuan aside.
Once they stopped, Xie Yanchuan hesitantly asked, “You…”
He didn’t know if Xu Jinzhi was feeling sad now, just by looking at her now, he couldn’t tell.
Xu Jinzhi picked up on Xie Yanchuan’s hesitance and said, “Why? Worried that I might be sad?”
Xie Yanchuan didn’t respond, essentially confirming it. He knew that Xu Jinzhi’s mother had died due to severe bleeding during childbirth, and her health never recovered, leading to her death when Xu Jinzhi was only six months old.
Xu Jinzhi reluctantly smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m not sad.”
Xie Yanchuan seemed somewhat incredulous.
Xu Jinzhi explained with a smile, “Although my mother died when I was very young, due to injuries from my birth, leading her to pass away so young, my dad always told me that my mother’s death was not my fault.”
“It was because my parents loved each other that I was born, and my mother insisted on having me because I am a testament to their love. She loved me very much.”
“And at that time, I was just a helpless little infant. Whatever happened, it was the adults’ business, nothing to do with me.”
“I came into this world to feel love.”
“I do regret that she couldn’t live well, but to say something rather cruel, I have no memories of her. So every time I come to see her, I can’t feel as sad as my dad does.”
Hearing Xu Jinzhi say this actually relieved Xie Yanchuan a bit, because if Xu Jinzhi was very upset, he wouldn’t know how to comfort her.
“Do you know why I kept talking to you in the car?” Xu Jinzhi asked.
Xie Yanchuan shook his head with a puzzled look.
“It was to divert his attention,” Xu Jinzhi said, looking at her father’s figure with a touch of heartache.
