Li Xiaolu's eyes widened in realisation looking at her in-laws but she managed calmed herself down. She was feeling a little nervous to meet her in-laws but she steadied herself.
She never thought that her first meeting with her in-laws would be at an hospital room where her sweet silly husband was still unconscious. She knew if Zhehan would have been conscious right now, then he would have held her hand and be her backbone through this.
At the beginning of this marriage, she wanted it to be a secret to avoid all the paparazzi and stereotypes. She never wanted to disclose her relationship with Zhehan to the world. Also at that time, being newly married she was not ready to face her in-laws so she stated these conditions to keep her marriage a secret.
But now when she is finally in love with Zhehan she is not worried about all this problem. If somehow the world gets to know about their marriage she will be fine with it now, but she doesn't want the parrazzi to constantly to poke their noses into her marriage life.
"Mom dad she... she is - " Zhang Ziyi shuttered in fear. She was in a very strange delimma and didn't knew what to say to her parents.
"Ziyi why are you shuttering?" Bai Lingyu glanced suspiciously at her daughter's odd behavior and walked towards Li Xiaolu, "Young lady who are you? Why are you holding my son's hand?"
Looking down Li Xiaolu noticed that she was holding hands with Zhehan. Biting her lips nervously she stood up, taking a deep breath she introduced herself, " Hello, Mr. and Mrs Zhang. I am Li Xiaolu Zhehan's wife and your daughter-in-law."
Bai Lingyu gasped while Zhang Yishan frowned. Glancing at everybody he asked, "Can someone please explain me what the hell is going on? What is this young lady saying? Our daughter-in-law? "
"Ziyi you tell me? Is she speaking the truth? " Bai Lingyu asked her daughter with a furious expression on her face. Zhang Ziyi glanced at her furious mother and nodded, "Yes mom, she is speaking the truth. She is my sister-in-law..."
"Nonsense! " Zhang Yishan frowned.
"No Uncle, Zhehan married Li Xiaolu and she is his wife, your daughter-in-law. " Tang Jun explained.
"What? How could that be? No! We don't accept it. How can this be possible? When did this happen? Why were we not informed?" Zhang Yishan asked furiously.
"Yes! She can't be our daughter-in-law. We don't accept this marriage. Humph! I don't believe this. My son would never do this kind of things without informing me, his mother. " Bai Lingyu glarred at Li Xiaolu, " Miss Xiaolu I don't know how you managed to force my son into this marriage but this nonsense will come to end right now! "
"NO! " Ziyi shouted interupping her parents, "Mom Dad, brother loves her very much. He was not forced or manipulated to do anything. He willingly married sister-in-law. " she said trying to explain but the Zhang couple were not having it.
"Princess you stay out of this. You are still very small.. " Zhang Yishan spoke softly to his daughter and then glarred at Li Xiaolu, "Young lady, I don't know how you convinced my son for all of this. Also I don't know what your motive is but I think you should leave from here and never appear in my son's life. We will never except you as our daughter-in-law. Humph!! "
"Dad - "
"Ziyi no..." Li Xiaolu said shaking her head to Zhang Ziyi and then glanced at her in-laws. "Mr. and Mrs Zhang, I love Zhehan from the bottom of my heart. I don't have My ulterior motive nor I have use any wrong means to convince Zhehan to marry me. He loves me and he willingly married me. I'll be a good wife to your son and a good daughter-in-law to you. I hope you give me a chance and accept our relationship... "
"You? A good wife and a daughter-in-law? Humph!! Do you know how many women are out therr fighting for the position of Mrs.Zhang. They are far above you." Bai Lingyu mocked, "Do you think you are the best girl for our son? "
"Mother-in-law, I know there are a lot of women out there much more capable than me to be on the position of Zhehan's wife but I can guarantee you that no one can love him as much as I do. " Li Xiaolu replied calmly.
"Young lady, you are an actress by profession. Do you think we would believe your melodramatic lines? Tell me your price?" Father Zhang asked.
"Dad! No.... " Zhang Ziyi shouted. She was horrified at her dad's words. She quickly interupped him, "They really love each other. "
"My price for what? " Li Xiaolu asked calmly.
"For leaving Zhehan and divorcing him. How much do you want? State your price and leave! "
Li Xiaolu smiled politely and asked," Are you sure Mr. and Mrs. Zhang can afford to give me the price I ask for? "
Everything in the room gasped. They never thought Li Xiaolu would say such words. They looked at her in shock and confusion could be seen all over their faces. When Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were confronting Li Xiaolu, they kept silence because it was Li Xiaolu's battle.
But now they felt like they had to intervene before the situation could get any worse.
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? " Tang Jun, Hu Yutian and Zhang Ziyi almost shouted in shock but Li Xiaolu completely ignored them. Instead she looked at in-laws and asked again, "What your answer Mr. and Mrs. Zhang are you willing to pay me the price I ask for? "
