NovelEnglishReborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu
Chapter 569 A Father-In-Law’s HugAi stared at him and thought of all the past days where she could hardly see him at all.
"Did you two fight?" Ai couldn't hold her curiosity at bay. Jinhai was different from Zhou Yichen in the sense that he wouldn't ever argue with Nana because he preferred doting on her more.
Jinhai looked away. "More like she passed her judgment on me and that is to reflect on my actions by staying away from her."
"What actions?"
"Throwing Jun out of the house when he confessed to me the truth about his rebirth."
Ai's unblinking stare at Jinhai was filled with a sense of trepidation. "Rebirth?"

A shocked gasp escaped her lips. "Ev-Everything?"
Jinhai nodded.
"W-when? Since how long?"
"Since the hospital when you and Jun collapsed. She had kind of figured it out that something more was happening in the background regarding Jun and Jin that she wasn't aware of. She also had the inkling that I might know what's going on. So, I didn't tell her, but I was interrogated more to spill it out."
It then made sense to Ai as to why Nana's behavior seemed a little different these days. Sometimes she had noticed her watching Jun and Jin with a melancholic yet warm gaze filled with emotions that she couldn't decipher. She assumed though that it might be due to their accident that she was worried so much.
Ai quickly asked, "What did she say…?"
Jinhai smiled. "She had a lot to say. She actually does want to talk to you three, but she doesn't know how to broach that subject. She is just trying to find a good chance for it. As for me, she had a lot to punish me instead of talking to me…"
His eyes flickered with lament once again. "She was naturally too furious to know that I threw our son out instead of being an understanding father. Which I really do regret now…But coming to know that Jun gave up on his life was hard to bear too…" his voice lowered down by a notch.
Ai pursed her lips in understanding. As a mother what Nana felt was valid and as a father how Jinhai thought was equally correct in that regard too.
"That's why…" Jinhai quickly grabbed her wrist and pleaded. "Please help me soothe her anger."
"..."
"...Mom has already warned me not to listen to any request of yours."
His brow twitched. "You are my last hope, Ai. Only you can help me. She will definitely listen to you. Please, please talk to Nana and tell her that I have really reflected upon my mistakes and so please allow me to come back to our room. I am dying here."

Ai felt a pang of sympathy for her father-in-law and said. "I will do my best."
That brought a bright ray of hope in his otherwise dead eyes. "Thank you! I am forever in your debt."
Ai stiffened as that sentence triggered the memory of her past life which she saw when she had collapsed.
The scene of the hospital after Jun and her death when Zhou Yichen and Xie Nuying met with Jinhai and Nana was still fresh in her mind.
'I, Liu Jinhai, am forever in Zhou Ai's debt.'
Tears plopped down her brown eyes even before she knew it, and the sorrow and grief laced in that memory shook her body.
Jinhai's eyes widened in shock, and he jumped on his feet, taking a step closer to her. "Why are you suddenly crying? Did I say something wrong?"
