Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 49: Xiao Wei K.O.'s Qiang

[POV Hu Qiang]

I feel that my son is going at me with full vengeance.

My father is eyeing me; if he could, he would have canned me by now.

My mother is silently frowning at me; her narrowed eyes looked blazingly at me.

The only saving grace to all this is my wife. She tries to change the flow of the conversation.

(At least my Queen is providing me with the saving grace.)

"Father that is not all, Xiao Wei made something for Bai Chang. Son, show it to your mother." I reminded my son.

"Wait here, I will get it from my room." Xiao Wei replied.

The little boy left the table and rushed towards his room. Soon, he returned, while holding a delicate fabric box.

"Mamma, this is for you." He said as he gifted the box to Bai Chang.

"Thank you, Munchkin." Bai Chang replied.

She opened the fabric box; inside she found a black fabric with golden embroidery.

As she looked into it she feels more elated and overwhelmed for some reason.

"What happened?" I asked her.

Instead, Bai Chang turned to Xiao Wei and asked him, "Munchkin, you made it yourself?"

"Yes Mamma, how is it?" he asked.

"Munchkin, I really loved it." She turned towards my parents and showed them the piece of fabric, "Mother look at our little prodigy's work. This is the most difficult traditional double-sided stitch style.

But what is more important and need to be focussed at- he stitched the word love on one side and the other side he stitched the word strength and these words are further inlaid with characters like peace and life on both sides."

She is so proud of her son's work. She picked Xiao Wei in her lap and cuddled and hugged him with so much love.

(I want some love too, my Queen!)

"That is a very thoughtful piece of art, come here dear. Come to grandma. Let me see you more." My mother spoke up.

My father looked at me, and then looked at Xiao Wei, and then he turned towards me and said, "Learn something from your son. You useless fellow."

'I felt like crying.'

(Are you kidding me, how did I come to exchange blows with my own son?)

At this moment, my son looks towards me.

I suddenly start to feel uncomfortable for some reason.

"Grandma, Grandpa; before the event not only Mamma, designed papa's outfit for the evening but also proposed engagement to papa and even designed and prepared the rings for exchange." Xiao Wei spoke up innocently.

There is pin-drop silence in the room.

'Sh*t'

'I'm gone this time.'

I see a vein throbbing fast, on my father's forehead.

My mother is ready to find my father's cane, this time.

My father's lips twitched as he spoke up through gritted teeth, "You useless son, what are you capable off? Are you trying to live off your wife and son in future?"

"What will happen to our daughter in our absence, you really disappoint me Qiang" My mother spoke while heaving a heavy sigh.

"M-Moth-"

"Don't you dare call out to us!" My father roared at me.

'I really want to know, why is my son targeting me tonight?'

'What wrong did I commit?'

I looked towards my only support, my Queen.

She seems lost. The situation is way beyond her control, this time.

So, I keep my silence.

For the rest of the night, I am treated as a criminal.
