Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 48: Xiao Wei Gets Back At Qiang



After getting dressed in a fresh dress …

I walked down the stairs to join the Hu family at the dinner table.

As I approach the dinner table; what meets my eyes, is a cohesive family. I see father Hu sitting at the head of the table, on his right side, mother Hu accompanying him.

The place at his left stands empty, while Qiang occupied the seat beside it.

Xiao Wei is sitting beside his grandma …

(It looks such a happy family, who wanted to destroy them?)

As I arrive by the table, Xiao Wei runs towards me. I pick him up and move towards the table.

"Bai Chang, here sit by my side," Father Hu spoke up while pointing towards the empty seat by his left.

I quietly take my seat.

Xiao Wei hangs on to me, so I sit him on my lap.

"Xiao Wei, come to grandma." Mother Hu called.

"Let it be, mother. He was too busy all day so we couldn't spend time together," I replied.

"What were you doing Xiao Wei?" Father Hu enquired in concern.

"Mamma's Fashion Show succeeded, so I wanted to make a design for her for celebration."

"OH … Why was it mamma's show?" this time mother Hu asked.

"Because Mamma is the main designer, organiser as well as director of the show."

"OH … then what did your father do?" Father Hu asked.

"Nothing," Xiao Wei replied.

(I am pretty sure that my son, Xiao Wei, intentionally dug graves and pits for his father, in front of his grandparents...

He looks so cute scheming against his father.)

Father Hu narrowed his eye, as he asked Qiang, "What Xiao Wei said is all true? You told me she is just the director of the event, you never mentioned; she is also the main label designer for the company."

"Are you trying to overwork our daughter?" Mother Hu roared at Qiang.

(Poor Qiang... He is definitely facing attacks from all side tonight.)

I looked towards him. (Yep, he looks helpless)

"That's not all, grandpa; mother designed a customised suit for papa. While he asked me to sit out of the event. He scammed me. You know, Mamma also designed her own dress for the event. They were the design pieces for the company's next fashion show." Xiao Wei kept on pulling dirt on his father.

(I really want to know, what Qiang did to piss off Xiao Wei. He is really attracting 'agro' towards Qiang.)

"REALLY!" Father Hu's anger flared up.

Qiang looked really helpless at this point. He looked like he is preparing for his funeral.

"Wife, look for my cane, today I will beat this un-filial son of mine to the straight path." Father Hu is mad.

"Grandpa, you need not worry, I am working really hard to support Mamma." saying so, Xiao Wei rushed towards somewhere and after some time returned with boxes of stuff. The boxes were taller than his entire frame. Following him is Ayi. She helped him carry some of those.

"Here, Grandpa, Grandma; look at all these dress pieces, they are all designed by Mamma."

With this, all the dresses were exhibited with the help of the maids before the Hu family.

I looked at the Hu parents, curiously.

They look surprised and drawn to the designs, they gasped while looking at my evening gown dress for the event.

Mother Hu turned towards me, "My darling, you have worked hard."

While father Hu seemed emotionally overwhelmed.

(This is the best time to make their grandson shine.)

"Father, mother; it is not entirely me, Xiao Wei helped a lot, around the studio, even the flower stitches on the gold sheer fabric, on the evening gown was personally stitched by Xiao Wei. I simply incorporated them in the final stitch of the dress."

I showed them their grandson's work. They seemed so surprised by it.

(It seems they weren't aware of Xiao Wei's talent.)

"Mother, even Mr Piero, praised him for his talents."

Listening to all this, they pick Xiao Wei and shower some more love on him.

I look towards Qiang; he looks like an abandoned cat outcasted by all.

(Poor Qiang, my husband is so pitiful.)
