I just want to inform you that whether you agree or not is up to you [
"You, too, mistress, why don't you make a call first? I can ask Aunt Zhang to buy more vegetables."
With that said, Mrs. Yu was about to go to the kitchen and ask the nanny to cook more dishes. Bai Xiao quickly stopped her and said, "Don't bother Auntie."
"Why is this trouble? It's too late for me to be happy when you come home!" Mrs. Yu said as she looked at Yu Shaoting with deep meaning.
I thought there was no chance, but now I see Bai Xiao coming. Although I don’t know what the two of them said after leaving last night, but now the girl’s family is still willing to come, and her son brought her back. Doesn’t it mean that these two people have a relationship?
A sign of deeper developments?
Bai Xiao's cheeks were red, either from embarrassment or from the warmth of the floor.
Yu Shaoting took off his coat, took the bag and cotton-padded jacket from Bai Xiao and handed them to Aunt Zhang.
It's a very small movement, but in the eyes of Mrs. Yu, it's a big deal. Ever since he was a child, Yu Shaoting has been very dragging. Who in the family can make him do things? Let alone ask him to pour you a glass of water.
I have never handed a tissue before, but now I am willing to put down my body to carry a woman's bag and hand her clothes.
Could it be that he figured it out after being angrily scolded by the old man last night?
No matter what the reason was that prompted Yu Shaoting* to change his gender, the result was something the old lady would like to see.
The gloomy mood that had lasted for the whole day was gone. The old lady took Bai Xiao to the living room and personally brought tea to Bai Xiao: "Drink some tea to warm yourself up."
Bai Xiao hurriedly took the tea cup, a little surprised, but Yu Shaoting had already sat down next to her, not shying away from the old lady.
His arms were casually placed on the sofa behind Bai Xiao, looking over from a distance, as if he was holding Bai Xiao in his arms.
Although Mrs. Yu is happy to see her son get close to Bai Xiao, but... isn't it too fast?
Seeing the two of them sitting next to each other like lovers, the old lady felt happy but also a little uneasy. Over there, Yu Shaoting had already spoken: "Where's Dad?"
"Your father went to the army with your second brother this morning to have a meeting to see what's going on in the army."
Only then did Mrs. Yu realize that something was missing: "Where is Jing Xi? Why don't you bring him with you when you come here?"
At this time in the past, the house was full of children running around and laughing, how could it be so deserted?
Mrs. Yu's mood towards Yu Jingxi also experienced complex changes.
After learning the truth, although he was not as angry as Chief of Staff Yu, he could not accept the fact that Yu Shaoting gave birth to a child outside. They didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause if this was spread, but after Yu Zhongxiao informed them
After the incident about Xu Shuyuan, she immediately felt relieved.
Speaking of which, the really pitiful and innocent person is Jing Xi. He doesn't even know who his biological mother is, so the old lady loves him even more than before.
When Mrs. Yu mentioned Jing Xi, Bai Xiao felt mixed emotions.
Yu Shaoting crossed his legs, took a sip of tea, and said in a very calm tone: "I thought you didn't want to see the child for the time being."
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Yu immediately glared at Yu Shaoting: "Jing Xi is my grandson, why don't I want to see him?"
"As a father, you have turned a blind eye to him since you were a child. If it weren't for me..." the old lady choked as she spoke, as if she just remembered that there was an outsider present, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, feeling embarrassed.
He looked at Bai Xiao and said, "Xiao Xiao, I made you laugh."
Bai Xiao's right hand, held by the old lady, was a little hot and sweaty, so she said with relief, "Just now Jingxi said she wanted to come here to eat fruit salad."
This is a double entendre!
Mrs. Yu obviously cared more about the meaning behind these words. She looked at Bai Xiao and then at Yu Shaoting: "You two..."
Yu Shaoting glanced sideways at Bai Xiao, changed his lazy sitting posture, took Bai Xiao's left hand and squeezed it tightly: "Let's talk about it when dad comes back."
Mrs. Yu stared at the two people's tightly clasped hands, a little dazed. When she realized what she was doing, she almost cried with joy. She stood up as she responded repeatedly: "Then you guys sit down for a while, and I'll call your brother and ask him what he wants to see."
It’s time to get home.”
Bai Xiao looked at the old lady who turned into the kitchen, then turned to look at Yu Shaoting: "Is your mother okay?"
Yu Shaoting let go of her hand, resumed his previous sitting position, and picked up the remote control to change the channel.
Seeing that he ignored her, Bai Xiao reached out and punched his shoulder. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and looked up at her. Sometimes the silent gaze was more "thrilling" than words. Bai Xiao turned her head away and his arm was pulled by him.
As soon as he pulled, the person was already nestled in his arms: "Why do you talk so much?"
——————————
"Madam, why did you come into the kitchen?" Aunt Zhang asked in surprise when she saw Mrs. Yu in a daze.
Old Mrs. Yu came back from her joy when she called her like that, and said hurriedly: "Quickly, lend me your phone!"
After taking the phone, the old lady's fingers were shaking when pressing the buttons. Aunt Zhang said with concern: "Madam, are you okay?"
Mrs. Yu took a deep breath and made a gesture to quiet Aunt Zhang. As soon as the call was connected, she shouted: "Second brother, bring your father back quickly. What... do you want to go have tea with your comrades?"
What kind of tea do you want to drink? Tell him that the mistress is going to marry a wife. It’s up to him to choose!"
After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Yu returned the phone to Aunt Zhang and sighed: "Is it easy for me to be a mother?"
Aunt Zhang comforted her: "Just relax, isn't the Third Young Master bringing the girl back now?"
"That's true," Mrs. Yu looked into the pot and said, "By the way, make some clam and winter melon soup tonight. I think Xiaoxiao likes it."
"But there are no winter melons at home."
“Isn’t there one in the small vegetable garden of Political Commissar Liu’s house next door?”
Aunt Zhang was in a dilemma: "There is no one at Political Commissar Liu's house today, and they will all be guests in the afternoon."
——————————
Bai Xiao leaned in Yu Shaoting's arms, resting her head against his strong and warm chest, smelling his breath, feeling indescribably relieved.
When he noticed someone coming out of the kitchen, he subconsciously pushed Yu Shaoting away and stood up: "Auntie."
Mrs. Yu saw the two of them watching TV together, and waved her hands with a smile: "You guys sit down, we will eat later."
After saying that, the old lady put on a pair of flat shoes and went out.
About five or six minutes later, Mrs. Yu came back again, holding a huge winter melon in her hands and walking a little staggeringly.
Bai Xiao wanted to go over to help, but the old lady quickly said, "No, no, no." She took off her shoes, carried the winter melon, and headed to the kitchen.
Bai Xiao turned around and asked Yu Shaoting: "Why don't you go and help?"
"Old ladies don't give in to old age. More exercise is good for your health." Yu Shaoting said casually.
"I don't see how filial you are to your elders."
Yu Shaoting glanced at her and seemed amused by her words. He smiled, but did not deny what she said.
After a while, the old lady came out with a bowl of clam and winter melon soup and called them over to eat.
When they got to the table, Mrs. Yu just moved all the dishes in front of Bai Xiao. Seeing that there were only three of them on the table, Bai Xiao couldn't help but ask about Yu Zhanming. Mrs. Yu filled a bowl of soup for her and handed it over, "Don't worry about them.
"Hurry and drink it while it's hot, this is the soup specially made for you."
Halfway through the meal, Yu Zhanming and Yu Zhongxiao came back.
As soon as Yu Zhanming saw Yu Shaoting sitting in the restaurant, his face turned dark immediately, he snorted heavily and went upstairs with his hands behind his back.
"The second child is back?" Old Mrs. Yu was in high spirits during happy events, and her frown during the day was long gone.
Yu Zhongxiao nodded friendly to Bai Xiao and followed him upstairs: "I'll call Dad to come down for dinner."
Old Mrs. Yu found that Bai Xiao was a little restrained after Chief of Staff Yu came back. She was afraid that the daughter-in-law would be scared away, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Your uncle is like that. He wants to save face and suffer. Don't take it to heart."
Over there, Yu Zhanming and Yu Zhongxiao came downstairs one after another, not too surprised by Bai Xiao's appearance.
Bai Xiao thought that Mrs. Yu must have been angry with them before.
——————————
As soon as Yu Zhanming entered the restaurant, Bai Xiao stood up out of politeness: "Hello, Chief."
Chief of Staff Yu hummed, looking back and forth between her and Yu Shaoting, without much emotion on his face.
Yu Shaoting stood up slowly and called out: "Dad."
Yu Zhanming didn't even bother to glance at him. After Yu Zhongxiao pulled out the chair for him, he sat down and completely ignored him.
Bai Xiao had no appetite for the second half of the meal, maybe because she had something on her mind. She was still slightly nervous when she thought about what she was going to say later.
I haven't seen Su Manrong since she arrived, so she probably wasn't at home.
For a moment there was only the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks on the dinner table.
While Yu Zhanming put down his chopsticks, Yu Shaoting spoke: "Dad, Xiaoxiao and I have something to inform the family. Do you want to go to the study or the living room?"
Yu Zhongxiao couldn't help but look at his brother twice.
Yu Zhanming's eyes passed over Yu Shaoting and stayed on Bai Xiao for a few seconds, then he got up and walked to the living room first.
After Aunt Zhang made the tea and left, Yu Zhanming glanced sideways at Yu Shaoting and took a sip of hot tea: "Tell me what you want to say."
Chief of Staff Yu's tone was not kind, and he was obviously still angry about what happened last night.
Old Mrs. Yu poked his elbow on the side and hinted at him with her eyes unhappily, but Yu Zhan obviously had no intention of paying attention to her.
Bai Xiao sat next to Yu Shaoting and turned to look at him, waiting for him to speak.
"I brought Xiaoxiao here today just to go through the motions and let her pay a formal visit to her father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Yu Zhongxiao on the side choked on his tea, put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly a few times.
Yu Zhanming looked at Yu Shaoting with a sneer: "It's just one night, and you're calling me Xiaoxiao? Let me tell you, calling me wife is useless!"
"Oh, old man, I asked you what are you doing!" Old Mrs. Yu tugged at Chief of Staff Yu's sleeve.
"What can I do? Do you believe what he said? Have you been deceived by him many times in the past few years? Don't think that I don't know his thoughts and just find someone to get married so that I can take care of what happened last night.
Put the matter on hold!" Yu Zhanming became more and more angry as he spoke, and his raised voice echoed throughout the house.
Old Mrs. Yu: "I told you to keep your voice down, and you're not afraid of being overheard by others!"
"He doesn't worry if he does such a thing himself, why should I help him?"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was the same as last night, Bai Xiao said, "Chief, we are serious."
The soft voice penetrated Yu Zhanming's powerful roar, instantly silencing all other voices in the living room.
Yu Zhanming, Mrs. Yu and Yu Zhongxiao all looked at the two people sitting together in unison.
Bai Xiao took a deep breath, her fingertips were a little cold, but she still took the initiative to put her hand on the back of Yu Shaoting's hand, as if this gave her the courage to continue speaking. She raised her head and looked back at Yu Zhanming's sharp and insightful eyes: "I'll take the liberty
I came to your door and caused you trouble."
At this time, Yu Shaoting's ten words were no match for Bai Xiao's. Mrs. Yu was very excited after hearing this.
"Old man, look, Teacher Bai has said so, how can this matter be false?"
"Just follow him and mess around!" Yu Zhanming sternly scolded, "A loving mother often loses her son. I don't know who your son is but a little girl. Don't you understand? When did he ever talk to you so kindly? By that time
You’re the one crying!”
After Yu Zhanming finished speaking, he stood up and pointed at Yu Shaoting, "Go upstairs!"
Yu Shaoting squeezed Bai Xiao's palm, then let go of her hand and stood up. Facing the angry Chief of Staff Yu, he said, "I am just here to inform you of the news. As for whether you agree or not, then
It's your business and not my consideration."
"Listen, what nonsense are these!" Yu Zhanming gritted his teeth in anger.
There was a stalemate in the living room, and a clear voice broke in: "Dad, who made you unhappy again?"
Bai Xiao froze and turned around to look. Sure enough, Su Manrong was standing at the door of the living room. The latter obviously also saw Bai Xiao. His face changed slightly, but then returned to normal, but this normality made Bai Xiao feel vaguely uneasy.
