Some things tend to appear more obvious the more you explain them, but if you don't explain them, the other party will uneasily hold on to you.
Jiang Yingmei paid the money, but did not go back to find Yu Yiwei. Instead, she looked at Bai Xiao next to her with a complicated expression.
"Mrs. Pei, do you know this lady?" The staff member looked at Bai Xiao curiously.
Jiang Yingmei twitched the corners of her lips and smiled in a forced manner, then her eyes fell on Bai Xiao again, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
Bai Xiao asked the staff where the restroom was, then turned and walked to the room opposite the fitting room.
However, Jiang Yingmei followed her and stepped forward to hold Bai Xiao's hand in a deserted place, causing Bai Xiao to stop and ask, "Do you have anything else?"
Looking at Bai Xiao's polite but distant expression, Jiang Yingmei let go of her hand, and after a few seconds of silence she asked, "I heard that Qiyou said you have returned to Liyang?"
Bai Xiao automatically understood this sentence as "Why did you come back to Fengcheng?" But Jiang Yingmei always spoke euphemistically, so how could she be so straightforward?
"Xiaoxiao, are you still blaming mom?" As she said this, Jiang Yingmei's eyes turned red.
Bai Xiao turned away her eyes, and Jiang Yingmei continued: "Qiyou and Yiwei are getting engaged. They are here to try on dresses today. Their relatives and friends have also been notified."
"Xiaoxiao, you have been a good child since you were a child. It is Qiyou who is sorry for you, but our Pei family is not so lucky."
If Jiang Yingmei's previous sentence tore open her old wounds, then this sentence was like a handful of salt, rubbing all the wounds on her.
"Xiaoxiao, mom has never begged anyone in her life. I know all the injustice you have suffered for Qiyou in the past few years. If you hadn't ignored your innocence and helped others to have surrogates, Qiyou would not have done what you have done now.
, but since you guys...if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to mom."
Bai Xiao looked at Jiang Yingmei, and her heart ached. She didn't expect Jiang Yingmei to know about her surrogacy. When did she know about it?
Jiang Yingmei looked away guiltily: "Just think that our Pei family has failed you."
Bai Xiao laughed self-deprecatingly and suddenly understood a lot of things. She wanted to leave but Jiang Yingmei tightened her sleeves: "Mom, please don't go to Yiwei."
"Yiwei doesn't know that Qiyou is married. If you want to complain, just blame mom for being selfish. Please help them."
Pei's mother begged her twice. The first time she begged her not to leave Pei Qiyou outside the intensive care unit, but this time she begged her not to disturb Pei Qiyou.
"Don't worry, I will never pester Pei Qiyou in this life." After Bai Xiao finished speaking, he pulled away Pei's mother's hand and walked away.
——————————
Walking out of the bridal shop, the mask of indifference on her face shattered instantly.
After walking for a while, Bai Xiao realized that she didn't have the dress. She was about to go back and get it, but her feet seemed to be fixed on the ground and she couldn't move.
At the crossroads ahead, among the crowd, a middle-aged woman dressed fashionably and dignified caught her eye.
With her hair pulled up high into a bun, her plump and smooth forehead, Bai Xiao touched her eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose countless times with her fingers in the black and white photo.
The traffic light changed, and seeing the woman about to cross the road with the flow of people, Bai Xiao's heart trembled, and she raised her feet to chase after her. However, as soon as she reached the intersection, the green light turned to red. She wanted to go through, but was blocked by a car that crossed her.
Big hands grabbed him: "You don't want your life?"
Bai Xiao turned his head and saw the panting Pei Qiyou. He was stunned for a moment, and then threw away his hand: "You don't have to worry about my affairs."
The intersection in the city center was filled with traffic, and sirens were honking because Shirayoshi was crossing the road.
An Audi car was about to hit her, Pei Qiyou rushed over and hugged her, pressed her head into his arms, firmly, leaving his back to the car, the sharp brake sound seemed to cut through
A person's eardrum, and behind him there was a large chorus of exclamations.
The Audi stopped five centimeters from the bend of Pei Qiyou's knees.
Pei Qiyou even heard his own heartbeat pounding, and his breathing was a little breathless. He wanted to see Bai Xiao's condition, but was pushed away.
Bai Xiao hurriedly crossed the road without even looking at him. He stood in the middle of the road, looking at her back with some confusion.
Standing on the roadside, Bai Xiao looked around and saw that the middle-aged woman had long disappeared among the crowd.
Suddenly, Bai Xiao stumbled and was about to fall. Pei Qiyou, who was following, stretched out his hand to support her: "Is everything okay?"
Bai Xiao wanted to pull back his arm, but Pei Qiyou didn't let go, "Xiao Xiao, what happened?"
"It has nothing to do with you anyway." Bai Xiao forcibly opened his fingers, stopped a taxi, got in, and said to the driver: "Drive."
The driver started the car and glanced at Pei Qiyou standing beside the car in the rearview mirror.
Bai Xiao leaned on his seat, closed his eyes, and clutched his bag tightly with both hands, feeling more tired than ever.
"It's common for young people to quarrel. I think your boyfriend also knew that he was wrong and was standing on the roadside all the time. Please forgive him. I also saw it just now. When you were about to hit the car, he was desperate for his life.
Run over and hug you. Such a good man will be snatched away if you don't pay attention."
Bai Xiao opened his eyes: "Are you okay?" he asked softly.
The driver laughed: "Do you want me to drive back? I don't know why you quarreled, but a man like this will definitely love his wife when he gets married."
Bai Xiao also smiled: "We have been married for six years."
"Then it's even more important to go back. There will always be little quarrels between couples."
Bai Xiao: "But we are going through divorce procedures. He tried on an engagement dress with another woman today."
The driver suddenly felt embarrassed and said sarcastically: "I see you are quite young and pretty."
Bai Xiao still had a slight smile on his lips, but stopped answering, and the scenery retreating by the roadside gradually became blurry.
"Miss, you haven't told me where you are going?"
Bai Xiao blinked away the tears from his eyes, turned around and looked at the street sign in front of him: "Star Language Capital."
The car stopped at the gate of Xingyu Capital. Bai Xiao paid and got off, closed the car door, walked two steps and then returned.
The driver had just put down the money when the car door banged and someone got in. He was about to ask where he was going, but he realized it was the same girl just now.
Bai Xiao twitched her lips at him: "Send me to the high-speed rail station."
——————————
When people are physically and mentally fragile, they will always do some impulsive things, regardless of the consequences, just to find a solid support.
"The earliest ticket to the capital still has a standing ticket, do you want it?"
Without thinking, Bai Xiao handed the money in, took the ticket, passed the security check, and sat in the waiting hall.
When the train arrived, she followed the flow of people to check in and get on the train. Her enthusiasm didn't cool down until the high-speed train was about to start.
"Can I get off the bus now?" Bai Xiao asked a passing flight attendant.
The flight attendant looked at her strangely and looked her up and down: "No, the train has already left."
Before he finished speaking, the high-speed train had begun to move slowly. Bai Xiao leaned against the door, feeling uncomfortable and having a headache.
——————————
Pei Qiyou walked into the bridal shop and immediately saw Pei's mother at the door. Mother Pei had already come to greet her: "Why are you so slow?"
"Some things have been delayed temporarily." Pei Qiyou's answer was a little perfunctory.
"My mother-in-law has arrived just now. Come over quickly." Mother Pei glanced at her son and said, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Pei Qiyou lowered his eyes and did not answer. Pei's mother's expression calmed down: "Wait a minute, don't do this in front of Yiwei's mother."
Yu Yiwei was choosing a men's dress when she saw Pei Qiyou saying angrily: "Why so late? Here, this is your dress, go in and change."
Pei Qiyou curved his thin lips towards her, then cooperated and took the clothes into the fitting room. When he came out, he was already wearing a straight black dress.
He looked at the handsome man in the mirror, but for some reason he felt strange, as if that face was not his own.
Suddenly, a pair of slender hands wrapped around his waist, and a soft body pressed against him. Yu Yiwei was wearing a white wedding dress, and her chin rested on his shoulder.
"For those who don't know, you think I forced you to get engaged!"
Pei Qiyou felt a little annoyed and had no energy to flirt with Yu Yiwei, so he pulled her hand away and said, "That's it."
Yu Yiwei pouted, a little dissatisfied: "You haven't tried anything else yet."
Pei Qiyou turned around and was about to go in to change clothes. Yu Yiwei held his hand and he turned around: "What's the matter?"
"Are you regretting your promise to be engaged to me?"
Pei Qiyou was silent, just looking into her eyes quietly, as if he wanted to look into her heart.
Yu Yiwei was inexplicably flustered, fearing that he would really regret it, so she pushed him and said, "Go and change clothes quickly."
——————————
Bai Xiao found that whenever the train arrived at a station, the flight attendant whom she had inquired about would appear in front of her and remind her: "You haven't arrived at the station yet."
Even the other passengers next to her turned to look at her, causing her to take back her steps again and again.
During the five-and-a-half-hour drive, it was pitch dark outside, and only when we passed the city did lights shine in.
When the car was about to arrive at Capital Station, the steward passed by her again. Bai Xiao finally couldn't help it anymore: "Why are you always staring at me?"
If it weren't for him, she would have gotten off at the station closest to Fengcheng.
The flight attendant glanced at her, put his hands behind his back, and said in a dedicated manner: "We need to be responsible for the safety of every passenger."
But an old man said with a smile: "The little girl was in a state of confusion just now. The flight attendant may be worried about what happened to you when you got off the bus halfway."
Bai Xiao looked at the flight attendant again in surprise. The latter still looked upright. She hummed twice, but her heart felt warm.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when the train arrived. Bai Xiao got off the train with the others and followed them out of the high-speed rail station.
Standing at the door of the station, feeling the biting cold night wind, Bai Xiao turned around and went to buy tickets again, but it turned out that she had no tickets to return to Fengcheng tonight.
She randomly found a seat in the waiting hall and sat there for who knows how long. There were fewer and fewer people waiting for the bus. Some staff even noticed her. Bai Xiao was embarrassed by them, so she left the waiting room with a bag of children's daily necessities.
hall.
I have never been to the capital before, but I have never felt so confused as now, like a lost child.
At exactly twelve o'clock in the evening, Bai Xiao did another stupid thing.
She looked at the sign that said "Guards are Sacrosanct" and turned around to hail a taxi but it was too late.
There are still guards standing guard at the gate of the military compound, standing tall and tall, holding guns.
Bai Xiao himself couldn't understand his series of actions today. Maybe he was really stimulated too much. Otherwise, how could he be as stupid as a pig?
She hit her head with the bag of daily necessities, then ran to hail a taxi, but couldn't. She drove around nearby and found an express hotel, but was told that there were no vacancies. Only then did she realize that she didn't have her card with her.
, I still have about two hundred yuan left in my wallet, which is not enough to stay in a high-end hotel for one night.
After going around in a circle and returning to the gate of the military compound, Bai Xiao became a suspicious person in the eyes of the guards on guard, who began to question her sternly.
Bai Xiao glanced into the courtyard, but didn't know how to answer, and his hesitant look was even weirder.
"Take out your ID card." The guard compared her with the photo on the ID card and asked with some doubt, "Is it you?"
Bai Xiao nodded. Pedestrians passing by cast curious glances at her, and her face turned red.
"What are you doing sneaking around here in the middle of the night?"
"I...I'm looking for someone." Bai Xiao's voice was as light as a mosquito's cry, because she felt guilty and did not dare to look into the guard's sharp eyes.
"Who are you looking for?" The guard saw Bai Xiao hesitating and his voice became stern: "Comrade, please answer me quickly."

The cell phone ringtone that rang late at night was particularly jarring.
Yu Shaoting was woken up. He put one hand on his forehead and frowned. The ringing kept ringing. A fire suddenly accumulated in his chest. He turned on the light, took the phone and picked up: "Hello?" with a voice.
A little hoarse, with a very bad tone.
There was silence for a while. When he was about to hang up the phone irritably, a soft voice sounded from the receiver: "Yu Shaoting, can you come pick me up?"
