A Billion Dollar Exchange

309 You can be with him

It's been two days since Xin Yong's parents had seen her, they knew she was home but she hadn't left her room. Her mom was getting very worried, she had knocked on her door severally but she had refused to speak talk more of opening the door;

Her father had pretended as though he didn't care, but on the fourth day, everyone became worried;

She had been there for four days without food or water, what if she something happened to her?

Not able to take it anymore, Xin Yong's mom went to plead with her father to let her have her way.

''I don't want to hear of that! ''

''What if she dies in there! Honey, it's been four days! Four days straight! If she wants him, fine! She can have him, but please I don't want us to lose our only child, I can't take it. '' Her mom begged as she sat beside her husband in the parlor.

''She's not getting married to that man and that it final! Nothing of that nature is going to happen! Not when I'm alive! ''

Her father shouted, shuddering angrily, he dropped his phone back on the stool and was about to get up from the couch, but his wife held him back;

''She said he had a reason for that! Our daughter is not so stupid as to make stupid decisions without cogent reasons and you know that. Please, just give them a chance, or rather, give him a chance to explain himself, Xin Yong is going to die in there, and you'll regret not giving her a chance when she pleaded with you for it…''

Her father reclined back on the couch, his hands balled into fists;

''I never accepted of their relationship from the beginning, why does this child of mine want to send me to my early grave? What did I do so wrong to deserve this punishment?! ''

Grief was written within his eyes, he knew he didn't have a choice but to accept her decision, she was a grown adult, who is capable of making her own choices. He knew she was giving them their respect by waiting for them to approve of her decision to be with that man, because nothing was stopping her from going to live with him.

He knew that all along but prayed that she would change her mind, but it was clear that she wasn't going to do so. He didn't want to cry, but stings of tears were already forming in his eyes; Xin Yong's mom pulled him into her arms and hugged him tight;

''That child wants to kill me…''

He groaned sadly;

''It'll be alright, everything will be fine…''

She consoled; they hugged for some few more minutes, before he was finally able to say the words;

''Tell her that she can bring him over, if she wants …''

''Oh God, thank you, thank you so much! ''

Her mom exclaimed, kissing him lightly on the cheeks and lips, before standing up and rushing over to her daughter's room;

''Xin Xin, you can come out now, your father has agreed to let you be with him, don't kill yourself please, come…''

Getting fed up, she picked her phone to call Jin Yue, to cancel the plan and think of something else, when she heard a loud bang on her door;

'Xin Xin, you can come out now; your father has agreed to let you be with him…

She didn't wait for her to complete the sentence when she flung up from the bed and in a second she was unlocking the door,

''Mom, what did you say? Dad says I could be with him? I can get married to him now? ''

She shook her mom slightly before throwing herself into her arms;

''Thank you, thank you, thank you, I love you so much, ''

In a jiffy, she left her arms and raced towards the parlor, seeing her dad sitting on the couch; she flung towards him and hugged him tight, ignoring his mean expression.

''Dad, you're my hero. I love you, thank you so much! ''

Her dad was still fuming, but when he felt little droplets of tears fall on his neck, his heart softened a bit;

''If that would make you happy…''

''It would, dad, it would! I love you. ''

She kissed him on the cheeks and stood up, wiping her tears;

Her mom was still standing in front of her room; shocked.

She had expected a frail and hungry looking daughter to come out of the room, who would have thought that she would be so active!

Taking a peak into her room, her mom's jaws fell in shock; there were bags of food and boxes of pizzas littered around the room. It was at that moment she realized that her daughter had played on their mind.

''So when should I invite him over, now? Tomorrow? Weekend? ''

''Anytime you want…''

Her dad replied, although reluctantly.

''Thank you, thank you, I'll tell him to come by tomorrow. ''

She hugged her parents again before stumbling back into her room and dashing for her phone.

Her mom, who had not spoken since, walked towards her husband with a slight smile on her face;

''She's so smart. ''

''You fell for it, ''

''We did. The lad had been having a good time in her room, and I'm very sure she sees that man at night!''

''Well, we didn't have a choice, she would still have had her way, even without our permission, so it's better we give it to her, and let her have a proper wedding. ''

Her dad replied, pulling his wife, for a slight kiss;

''Yeah, I just pray everything would turn out fine. ''
