I can't control other people's lives as long as she says she wants to stay by my side
Mother Pei picked up the teacup and gave it to Mrs. Pei again: "Mom, please calm down, I believe Xiaoxiao is not this kind of person..."
"This kind of person... what kind of person? She hides so deeply. How could she hook up with Yu San today if you see through it? Besides, there is no such thing as a coincidence. As soon as she hooked up with Yu San, our family met her again and again.
It doesn't go well!" Mrs. Pei waved away the tea cup and became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.
Just as he was talking, Aunt Rong suddenly came over with a phone and said that it was a mahjong friend of Mrs. Pei who was looking for her.
"It's Mrs. Zhuo..." Mrs. Pei's face instantly improved, and she said with a smile: "It's not a matter of busy children and grandchildren..."
"..."
Old Mrs. Pei's smile suddenly froze, thinking that she had heard wrong, and the other party said apologetically: "The batch of building materials you mentioned last time may not be available to you Mr. Pei. My old man just told me that
The supply of goods for this year has not yet been determined.”
"...No, didn't we agree last time?"
"I'm sorry, old sister, eh, my daughter-in-law is calling me, I'll hang up first, Dudu..."
Mrs. Pei threw the phone hard against the sofa. She was so angry that she couldn't stand still. Mother Pei hurriedly supported her: "Mom, what happened again?"
Last time, when Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Zhuo were playing mahjong, they said that Pei needed to purchase construction materials for a recent construction site. At that time, Mrs. Zhuo said, "I just happen to have a batch of construction materials at home." The two of them enjoyed such mutually beneficial things.
Seeing this, in order to show their good friendship, they did not even sign a formal contract. Now the Zhuo family suddenly regretted it——
Although it is not enough to shake Pei's foundation, it will also make Pei's materials difficult for a period of time.
Old Mrs. Pei walked around the living room with a trembling body, and finally screamed: "It must be Bai, she encouraged Yu San to do it!"
——————————
When Bai Xiao received the call from Pei's mother, she had just finished cleaning the facial mask tools and turned around and went down the stairs.
After picking up the phone, Pei's mother mentioned the building materials in a vague way and wanted her to tell Yu Shaoting if the materials could be returned to Pei.
Bai Xiao frowned: "Not to mention that I am not qualified to ask about his company's affairs. I asked him to help his ex-husband's company. If it were you, would you think that would be okay?"
Mother Pei was speechless for a moment.
Bai Xiao probably guessed who asked Pei's mother to make the call: "Please tell Mrs. Pei that you should stop judging others by your own heart. When something goes wrong, you should reflect on yourself first instead of dwelling on others."
Looking for problems on my body, and besides, I’m not too lazy to blow my pillow all day long to deal with Mr. Pei.”
Mother Pei hung up the phone in embarrassment at the thought of being poked into her heart.
Bai Xiao put away her cell phone and went upstairs to the bedroom. Passing by the study, the door was open and Yu Shaoting was standing in front of the window making a phone call.
His back was to her, and he was still wearing the pink blue shirt. The sleeves were turned up, revealing the light green diagonal cuffs. He was holding the mobile phone in one hand and resting it on the belt around his waist. He stood tall and turned around.
Then he saw Bai Xiao standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then talked to the person on the other end of the phone without avoiding her.
Yu Shaoting's usual style on the phone was to listen more and talk less. Bai Xiao judged from the few words he said that he was talking about business.
Bai Xiao went back to the master bedroom first. The two of them did not deliberately sleep in separate rooms because of the arrival of Mrs. Yu. After washing themselves and changing into pajamas, they took out the pair of gloves they just bought at the stall, put them on their hands, and held them up to the light.
, it was too big, she lay on the bed and couldn't help but miss the way Yu Shaoting wore it.
——————————
Yu Shaoting turned off the light in the study and returned to the bedroom. The light was soft, and the person on the bed was huddled in a ball with his back to the door, as if he was asleep.
In fact, Bai Xiao slept very lightly and woke up when Yu Shaoting closed the door. She was confused and thought she was dreaming, and was half dozed and half awake.
"Did it wake you up?" The man next to him sank, Bai Xiao opened his eyes, and Yu Shaoting's face became clearer and clearer in his sight.
She saw the rare tenderness in his eyes, which reflected his sharp and three-dimensional facial features.
Bai Xiao turned sideways, squinted her eyes, and her black hair was spread smoothly on her shoulders. She was as beautiful as a picture. This scene should be what she was talking about.
Yu Shaoting pushed a strand of hair behind her: "Go to sleep, I'm going to take a shower." When he got up, he dimmed the light of the floor lamp next to him.
Bai Xiao closed her eyes but didn't want to sleep anymore, so she simply opened her eyes again, turned over, and faced the bathroom.
Not long after, the bathroom door was pushed open, Bai Xiao hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, *while sinking, Yu Shaoting was still asleep*, lying quietly.
After a long while, until there was a slight and even sound of breathing around him, Bai Xiao turned around slightly and looked at the man next to him.
With the faint light, I can see Yu Shaoting's sleeping face, the bridge of his nose, and his slightly furrowed brows, which look like he is really tired. His thin lips are not closed tightly because he is asleep. You can imagine the coldness when he tightens his lips.
He looked difficult to get along with, and had those deep and reserved black eyes.
Bai Xiao couldn't help but reached out and touched his eyebrows. He didn't wake up. Her fingers went down and her fingertips rubbed his throat.
She could clearly feel his movements, and her heart was beating rapidly...
Thinking of what Pei's mother said on the phone, Bai Xiao snuggled into his arms, took his hand and clasped it with her fingers, closing her eyes with peace of mind.
——————————
The next day, Bai Xiao went to work and came out of the tea room. He saw a certain piece of news published in the city daily and stopped in his tracks.
If Pei’s mother’s phone call showed that the Pei family mistakenly believed that she was instigating Yu Shaoting to deal with the Pei family, then I wonder what Mrs. Pei would think about this report?
In today's society, gossip and scandals are no longer limited to the entertainment industry.
There was a high-definition photo published in the newspaper. Bai Xiao recognized it at a glance. It was Su Manrong. The background was a hospital emergency room.
When she was photographed, Su Manrong was holding one hand on the wall and rubbing her forehead with the other. Her face was very pale. On normal days, she would have been considered to be unwell, but... Bai Xiao quickly read the following report. Yesterday was Yu Yiwei's engagement.
So Su Manrong's move was given another meaning.
For example - being angry with her for not fighting, and worrying about her ignorant daughter.
Another insider broke the news that Su Manrong came late to yesterday's engagement party. She was absent-minded and looked haggard throughout the whole process. As for the two elders of the Yu family, both were absent.
After reading the whole article, Bai Xiao came to the conclusion that the Yu family did not approve of the marriage between Yu Yiwei and Pei Qiyou!
I wonder if Mrs. Pei is grabbing the newspaper and angrily cursing?
It seems that the Pei family has offended many people. No ordinary person would dare to post such a report without fear of offending the powerful family behind it...
Bai Xiao took a sip of water and put the newspaper back. As soon as she returned to her seat, a call came from Ye Hehuan, asking her to have lunch together.
When she received a call from Yu Shaoting, Bai Xiao was preparing to pack up for an appointment with Hehuan. Yu Shaoting was surprisingly generous this time and did not force her to accompany him to dinner. Before hanging up the phone, he asked if she could get a taxi. Bai Xiao was not used to him.
She was suddenly concerned, but she still whispered to him for a while before hanging up.
——————————
After get off work hours, many people were waiting at the elevator door. After Bai Xiao made the call, the elevator door opened, and other people filed in.
Bai Xiao was standing in front of the elevator while waiting for it. After entering, he was suddenly squeezed into a corner.
Someone even stepped on her and pushed her around, making her a little unsteady.
Suddenly, her entire body was shrouded between the man's arm and the elevator wall. A wall of flesh separated her from the others.
Wearing a crisp black suit, and even a man's slight breath touching her forehead, Bai Xiao never expected that Pei Qiyou would also be in the elevator!
Her fingers tightened on her bag. In the narrow space of the elevator, she couldn't push him away, so she could only avoid physical contact with him as much as possible.
When the elevator went down to the first floor, two more people came in instead of those who didn't go out.
Pei Qiyou was pushed by someone and squeezed towards Bai Xiao. She subconsciously retreated, but found that there was no way to retreat.
Bai Xiao began to feel annoyed that she didn't see Pei Qiyou in the elevator, otherwise she would rather wait for the next one. The two of them were too close, and she could smell the scent of him that was so familiar that it was engraved in her heart.
The left hand at her side was touching the back of her right hand intentionally or unintentionally.
She wanted to pretend to raise her hand to tangle her hair in order to avoid his "harassment", but Pei Qiyou seemed to see through her intention. When the person squeezed in again, he staggered and held her hand.
Holding her hands tightly, Bai Xiao suddenly raised her head and glared at him, but her warning received no response. What he only relied on was that she didn't dare to announce it loudly.
When the elevator reached the first floor, the employees all walked out quickly. In an instant, only the two people in the corner were left.
Bai Xiao's face turned pale. When the elevator door closed, she pushed Pei Qiyou away coldly: "Please pay attention to your identity."
——————————
Ye Hehuan's car had already parked on the first floor below. When he saw Bai Xiao coming out of the elevator, he honked the horn shamelessly.
As a result, Bai Xiao opened the car door and got in with a cold face. She fastened her seat belt and said, "Drive!"
As the sports car drove out of the underground parking lot, Ye Hehuan glanced at Bai Xiao beside him: "With a murderous look on his face, who has offended you?"
Bai Xiao leaned on his seat and turned to look at the receding scenery outside. After a long time, he asked: "Do you think people are all a little bit mean?"
Ye Hehuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Bai Xiao didn't speak anymore. When she walked out of the elevator, Pei Qiyou's words, "If it weren't for Yu Shaoting, would you be so decisive?" It seemed that she was still in her ears.
If Yu Shaoting had never appeared in her life, would she have given Pei Qiyou a chance to come back to her?
The answer has always been clear and negative. No.
The appearance of Yu Shaoting only reversed her loneliness in the second half of her life, rather than taking her away from Pei Qiyou.
——————————
Yu Shaoting agreed to Bai Xiao to have dinner with Ye Hehuan, not because he was generous, but because someone broke into his office.
In the sofa area, Yu Shaoting crossed his legs and took a sip from his coffee cup. He was in a much better mood than Su Manrong opposite him.
After a long silence, Su Manrong took out the newspaper from his bag. Just as Yu Shaoting put the coffee cup back, the newspaper happened to fall in his hand.
Yu Shaoting glanced at the photo in the newspaper, looking calm and relaxed.
Su Manrong finally lost her temper: "I asked the newspaper why they published such a baseless report. What do you think they said?"
"..."
"The executive editor of City Daily only said one thing to me: This is the era of national entertainment, so I shouldn't mind it too much!"
Su Manrong took a deep breath: "How could I not mind? This is my daughter!"
"Shaoting, tell me honestly, did you ask the newspaper to publish it?"
Yu Shaoting paused in his drinking of coffee. He raised his eyes and looked at Su Manrong with deep eyes. He did not get angry and said in a very calm tone: "Since sister-in-law has already confirmed that it was me who did it, you won't listen no matter how much I explain."
"I'm afraid I can't bear this call, sister-in-law." Su Manrong looked bad and there was a blur in her eyes. Thinking of Yu Yiwei hiding in the room and crying when she went out, thinking of Bai Xiao's matter, she clenched her palms.
"If you still know that you are an elder, you shouldn't do these things!"
"Which uncle would get involved with his niece? Even if he is not his biological child, as long as he has some conscience, he knows the ethics."
Su Manrong looked at Yu Shaoting with red eyes: "You don't like anyone, but you want her? How old was she when she gave birth to the child? How old were you at that time!"
Yu Shaoting said nothing, didn't even frown, and allowed Su Manrong to scold.
Su Manrong suddenly started crying. Thinking of what she had experienced over the years, Bai Xiao, and Yu Zhengdong, she was filled with overwhelming sadness.
"Shao Ting, even if I beg you, as long as you are willing to nod, I will take Xiaoxiao abroad immediately. She is still so young and is not suitable for you at all. Maybe she is obsessed with you now. You two are so different, whether it is life experience or
There are big differences in values, and there is no guarantee that one day she will not regret it."
Yu Shaoting finally spoke: "She is an adult and will be responsible for the decisions she makes."
"How can she be responsible? If Zhengdong is still alive, Xiaoxiao will be your niece who grew up. How can you bear it..." Su Manrong choked, but finally looked at Yu Shaoting firmly: "I will follow you too
To be clear, I will never agree to your being together even if I die!"
Yu Shaoting stood up and looked down at Su Manrong who was still sitting there. His eyes were a little cold and his voice was low but cold: "I can't control other people's life and death. As long as she says she wants to stay with me, even if you jump out of here now, my eyes will
If you don’t know how to blink, if you don’t believe it, you can give it a try.”
After saying that, he walked out of the office first.
After hearing his words, Su Manrong slumped down on the sofa, her hands and fingers trembling slightly.
