-15- Like a family

About an hour after Yibo had put Xinxin to bed, the small one came down again. She wanted to be with Yibo and me. In the end the three of us fell asleep on the sofa and nobody slept in a bed with the new sheets.

When I woke up for a moment in between, I saw my daughter lying peacefully sleeping on the chest of Yibo, who had closed his arms around her and also slept completely peacefully.

I went to my living room cupboard and took out two blankets. I carefully put one over Yibo and Xinxin and took the other one.

At first I thought I couldn't fall asleep again right away. But when I saw the two lying there and watched them a little bit, the sleep caught up with me again. To me, the two look as if they had searched for each other and had finally found each other.

In the morning, we were all still asleep. I heard whispers. I opened my eyes and saw my parents-in-law who were coming to visit us. My mother-in-law stroked my cheek and smiled. "You all look like family." She said and had this Awwww, look on her face.

My father-in-law took a closer look at Xinxin and Yibo, then took his phone and made a picture of the two sleeping. He grinned and showed the picture to his wife, who put her hands on her chest and smiled.

Yes, my parents-in-law also know my past and I had also informed them that Yibo would come to visit. And thanks to the key they have to my house, they could sneak in and see us like this.

Careful not to wake them up, I got up and went outside with my in-laws to the yard. Luckily they brought coffee and I don't have to turn on the noisy machine.

"You all look like a real family." Says Nora, my mother-in-law.

In short form I told them what happened since yesterday, what Yibo told me and now I know the truth and that Xinxin wants Yibo as her dad and my parents-in-law grin all the time. "Listen to your daughter, she knows what's good for you. And I think she has made a good choice for her daddy."

"She knows exactly what she wants. But what bothers me is the fact that everybody lied to me and I was the only one besides Yibo's father who didn't know anything." I explain to them.

"Right. Actually, that's a huge mess, and I'd be disappointed and angry, too. Although, at least they seem to have done it out of love for you. Because they're right, you can't lie. I'm sure his father would've noticed if you were just pretending." My father-in-law replies.

"Yes. But their whole act is blown anyway, after not even two months. Because Yibo's father had repeatedly asked for the marriage certificate and when he got his hands on the document, which they had merely made themselves, he noticed the fraud immediately. Who knows why it was so important to Yibo's father to have an official document certifying the marriage." I explain to them.

"Who knows what he intended to do with it? I can't even imagine what it could be." Said my mother-in-law.

"Maybe he wanted to get Zhan's parents out of the way and use the documents to get their money." My father-in-law suspects.

"That's what Zhan's parents thought. From the very beginning, and for that reason alone and because of Zhan and me, they wanted to play this game. By the way, good morning, I'm Wang Yibo"

"Do you really think this is what your father wanted to do?" I ask him after my in-laws introduce themselves.

"Yes. You know my father started drinking and gambling after my mother died. He got heavily into debt and there were many money collectors after him." Reply Yibo.

When Xinxin also came outside after she went to the toilet, she greeted her grandparents and told them that she now had a daddy, a dad and a mummy to look after her in heaven.

Yibo lifts her up again and she immediately cuddles up to him.

"Pumpkin, ask your dad to go upstairs with you to help you wash your face, brush your teeth and get dressed. And Grandpa will help you get dressed." Suggested my mother-in-law.

The trio goes upstairs laughing and I stay outside with my mother-in-law. She looks up at the sky and smiles. "I think she would be proud of you and I really believe she is happy that Yibo is now looking after her daughter too." She says it to me and caresses my upper arm.

"I hope so. I hope she's happy."

"Definitely. Just be on guard because of his father. I don't want him to hurt you three. He seems like a bad person. So you must be watchful also for Yibo, who seems to have suffered a lot because of his father."

I wonder how she knows that. But she's a mother, maybe she senses these things. But Yibo wasn't the only one who suffered from his father. Hai Kuan, Yibo's older brother, also suffered greatly from him, and even his own wife.

He had also drunk a lot before his wife died and often lost control over himself. He once beat Hai Kuan almost to death. He was probably already lying unconscious and bleeding on the ground and he still kicked him. Yibo tried to stop his father at that time and bit him in the leg. He hit Yibo so hard against his arm that he broke his arm with this one blow. Luckily neighbours had called the police and nothing more happened.

After this incident Yibo's had not drunk alcohol for two years. But then suddenly Yibo's mother died and he started drinking again. He did not become violent again, as Yibo claimed, but he still controlled his sons.

I never understood how my parents could be friends with him. As I grew older, they told me it was the only way they could take care of Yibo and Hai Kuan. If they would end the friendship and cut off their support they gave him every month, he would just move away with the boys and/or do God knows what to them.

My parents loved Hai Kuan and Yibo like their own sons and always have. Through me, or rather through the friendship of Yibo and me, they got to know Yibo's parents and became friends. They quickly became good friends, but then Yibo's father began to turn more and more to drink. And they remained friends only because of Yibo's mother and the two boys.

I know that my parents gave them financial support every month and they even secretly gave Yibo and his brother pocket money. And they only did all this because they took the two boys so much into their hearts and cared about them.

My parents are not saints and they are not rich either, but they have their hearts in the right place and always try to be good people. That's what I always loved about them.

What do you think, do we want to start slowly getting to know the view and thoughts of Yibo? Or do we let Zhan continue to tell everything? Your choice!
