It's not that he has no heart, but that heart is not on you!
Xu Zhenning's cheeks were red and swollen, but she had no time to take care of it. She wanted to chase him out, but Xia Lan blocked her. The nanny at home heard the noise and came out.
Xia Lan didn't want the nanny to hear about the family affairs, so she took Xu Zhenning up to the second floor, entered the study, and closed the door to isolate the sound from outside.
Xu Zhenning took advantage of Xia Lan to let go and opened the door again to go downstairs, but heard Xia Lan say: "If you dare to chase him, don't say he is my daughter in the future!"
Xia Lan is not joking or threatening, with her strong temper she can definitely do what she says!
"Mom!" Xu Zhenning's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness: "I just like him and want to stay by his side. Why are you doing this?"
"Xu Zhenning, are you still a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old? If you are in love all day long, you are just a man. You are better than him. Why do you hang yourself on a tree like Yu Shaoting? Besides, he is also
Now that you have a child, are you really ready to be a stepmother?"
Xu Zhenning said: "That child can be considered your grandson. He is cousin Shuyuan's child. Wouldn't it be better for me to take care of him than other women?"
Xia Lan looked at her stubborn daughter and didn't want to waste any more words with her: "You should give up this idea, I will not agree to you marry him."
"Why?" Xu Zhenning could no longer calm down: "Is it because he is married and has children?"
Xia Lan didn't say anything, indirectly acquiescing to this reason.
Xu Zhenning's eyes were moist: "Didn't my father still marry you with children? Why can't you think about it for me?"
"Thinking about you? I don't agree with you being together, just for your own good." Xia Lan said, feeling powerless for her daughter's persistence, "Hasn't your eldest aunt made it clear yet? He, Yu Shaoting, has someone. He is not careless.
But that heart is not with you! Why are you still so stupid?!"
My feelings for many years have been denied and belittled by my mother.
Xu Zhenning couldn't help but retort: "Didn't my father also have a beloved woman back then, and that woman also gave birth to a child? Didn't you also snatch her away..."
"Pah!" What interrupted Xu Zhenning was a slap in the face.
Xia Lan's hand dropped to her side, and her palm ached slightly. It could be seen how strong the slap was, and she clenched her fingers tightly.
Xu Zhenning covered her face and shed tears: "Did I say something wrong? You can do it, why can't I?"
"Xu Zhenning, I don't want to hear these words again in my life." Xia Lan said in a cold voice with a cold expression: "If you continue to be so stubborn, you will destroy yourself in the end." After saying that, Xia Lan turned and left.
, when he reached the door, he turned his head again.
"Don't blame Mom. Everything Mom says and does now is for your own good. Your cousin Shuyuan passed away and Yu Shaoting went abroad. You were eager to chase her. Did I stop you? You lived alone abroad for him, and I also
I never said a word, but now, I will never let you continue to mess around."
The study door opened and closed, Xu Zhenning covered her red and swollen face and slowly squatted on the ground.
——————————
The next day, Bai Xiao got up very early, feeling refreshed, and went to the vegetable market with Aunt Li.
Although Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, Jing Xing mentioned on the phone yesterday that they were taking the flight back to Fengcheng this morning. Then they could still make it in time for lunch.
While buying groceries, Bai Xiao looked at her phone. It was past seven o'clock, thinking that Yu Shaoting had to catch a nine o'clock flight and should be awake by now.
Because Aunt Li was nearby, Bai Xiao didn't call and sent a text message to Yu Shaoting, asking him what he wanted to eat for lunch.
After a long time, without getting a reply, Bai Xiao called, but the other party turned off his phone.
Bai Xiao knew that passengers had to turn off their phones before the plane took off, so she didn't call him repeatedly. Instead, she asked Aunt Li to buy some vegetables.
——————————
Yu Jingxi had already gotten up, and Bai Xiao returned to Qinyuan. At the door of the villa, he saw the little guy standing by the fence, holding a small bowl and eating breakfast.
Bai Xiao went in carrying big and small bags. The little guy followed her and asked while eating dumplings: "Why so early? What did you buy?"
Yu Jingxi likes to eat seafood, so Bai Xiao specially bought a large lobster with Aunt Li and planned to make lobster with scallion oil for him at noon.
Bai Xiao entered the kitchen, and the little guy also wandered in. He saw the vegetables all over the floor and asked Bai Xiao: "Why did you buy so many vegetables? I can't finish them."
"..." Bai Xiao washed his hands and touched Yu Jingxi's head: "Your father will be back at noon."
Yu Jingxi slurred while chewing the dumplings: "Then you're finished. Dad won't be back at noon, maybe tomorrow."
Bai Xiao was stunned: "Who told you?"
"What I heard just now is that my father called grandma and said that my master Zeng fell ill in the middle of the night and needed rescue..."
Seeing that Bai Xiao was silent, the little guy realized that he had said the wrong thing. He immediately shut his mouth tightly, looked at Bai Xiao twice, chewed the dumplings, turned around and ran away.
——————————
Mrs. Yu originally went into the kitchen to get breakfast, but she heard Yu Jingxi's words at the door, and then saw the little guy coming out holding a bowl.
"Grandma." Yu Jingxi shouted guiltily, turned around and glanced at the kitchen, then looked at Mrs. Yu and muttered: "I didn't mean it."
Mrs. Yu stroked his soft hair: "Grandma knows."
Yu Jingxi scratched her ears with her little fleshy hands, feeling a little annoyed. Mrs. Yu said, "Don't worry, grandma will explain it to her."
The little guy then walked away, finished eating the dumplings, and walked obediently to the side of the villa, picked up the soft and thin water pipe on the side, and helped water the grandma who was pruning the plants.
Bai Xiao filled a bowl of porridge and was about to go out. When he saw Mrs. Yu coming in, "Auntie."
Mrs. Yu glanced at the ingredients she had just bought on the ground: "I heard Aunt Li say that you went to the market with her this morning?"
"Yes." Bai Xiao handed the bowl of porridge to the old lady. The old lady took the bowl and said, "Shaoting called me just now."
"You know the Xu family in the capital, right?"
Bai Xiao nodded. As the natal family of Yu Shaoting's late wife, if she said she didn't know now, Mrs. Yu might not believe it.
Seeing that Bai Xiao didn't ask any more questions, Mrs. Yu simply said it all herself: "In the early morning, Shuyuan's grandfather suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital for rescue. Shaoting went on a business trip to the capital and did not hide it from the people there. After all,
Yes...he has no reason not to visit."
"I understand." Bai Xiao is not an unreasonable person, and he also understands the importance of things.
Old Mrs. Yu observed Bai Xiao's expression and saw that she was really not angry. She sighed and said, "As long as you can be considerate. I can't explain the twists and turns here. By the way, Shao Ting thought you were okay."
I fell asleep, so I didn't call you. I might call you later."
Bai Xiao heard that the old lady was afraid that she would think too much, so she specifically said the following sentence.
Although Mrs. Yu is confused on weekdays, she is not really stupid. She is just mild-tempered and doesn't like to argue with others.
As soon as the old lady left the kitchen, Bai Xiao's cell phone rang. When she picked it up, the person over there asked, "Are you awake?" with a slightly surprised tone.
"What time is it..." Bai Xiao could tell from his voice that his cold had not improved, but had gotten worse: "Have you taken your medicine?"
"Eat." Yu Shaoting said at the other end.
Then, the people on both ends of the phone stopped talking.
Bai Xiao held the phone, thought for a while, and said, "Your mother has told me, how is the Xu family member... now?"
"..." Yu Shaoting did not answer immediately. He answered after a while: "I just finished the operation and have passed the critical period."
"You should also pay attention to rest and don't forget to take your medicine."
"...Hmm." The man on the other end responded in a low voice.
Bai Xiao realized that he had nothing to say again, so he said: "Then hang up now, I have to go to work later."
——————————
Yu Shaoting put away his cell phone, turned around, and looked up to see Xu Jingwen, Xu Shuyuan's father and Mr. Xu's eldest son, coming out of the ward.
Xu Jingwen has the calmness and elegance of a man in the officialdom. He already knows something about Yu Shaoting from his wife, but unlike Liang Huizhen who can't let go, he thinks it's normal for Yu Shaoting to marry again, and he still appreciates him.
son in law.
Compared with women who have long hair and short knowledge, men always see things more deeply and comprehensively.
Xu Jingwen came over, patted Yu Shaoting's shoulder, and said, "You've been on guard all night, go back and rest."
Yu Shaoting glanced at the ward: "How is grandpa doing now?"
"As you get older, you will always have these and other problems with your body. This time I was discovered in time. The doctor said that I may have symptoms of a mild stroke."
The door to the ward opened again, and Xia Lan came out wearing a doctor's white coat.
Seeing Xu Jingwen in the corridor, Xia Lan nodded. As for Yu Shaoting, she glanced at him lightly and then walked away.
Yu Shaoting raised his eyebrows. After what happened last night, he had expected Xia Lan's attitude, so he didn't take it seriously.
Xu Jingwen actually knew that Xia Lan's daughter had been pursuing Yu Shaoting over the years. He felt a little uncomfortable at first, but in the end he turned a blind eye. But now that Xia Lan is like this, he is afraid that his niece and Yu Shaoting will not get along.
. Therefore, Xu Jingwen could not help but be curious about the woman next to Yu Shaoting.
"When you came back to the capital last time, why didn't you come and sit at home?" Xu Jingwen only has a daughter, Xu Shuyuan, and now the family is quite deserted without the child.
Thinking of his daughter, he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of how angry his wife was when she came home that time, she probably said some unpleasant things to Yu Shaoting.
"Your mother has such a hot temper, but she actually doesn't have any bad intentions."
Yu Shaoting talked to Xu Jingwen for a while, then went to the ward to visit Mr. Xu before leaving the hospital.
——————————
Xu Zhenning rushed to the hospital, but only saw Xu Jingwen in the ward. She couldn't help showing a disappointed expression, but she still called: "Uncle."
"Come to see grandpa?" Xu Jingwen glanced at her.
Xu Zhenning hummed vaguely and looked at the door: "Why are you the only one here, uncle?"
How could Xu Jingwen not see what she was thinking: "Your grandpa hasn't woken up yet, Shao Ting went back just now."
The person she wanted to see was not there, and Xu Zhenning didn't want to stay too long, so she stood up and left after sitting for a while.
Xu Jingwen looked at Xu Zhenning's leaving figure and felt a little regretful in his heart. The only flaw in his life for his amazing and talented brother was that he did not have children of his own. Even if Xu Zhenning was a good person, he was not his own flesh and blood after all, but he never said these words to him.
My younger brother said that he was afraid that he would be unhappy.
——————————
Bai Xiao got off work early today and asked Ye Hehuan to go shopping.
Ye Hehuan saw that Bai Xiao was not in high spirits: "What's wrong? You look depressed."
Bai Xiao told Ye Hehuan what happened in the morning. Ye Hehuan clicked his tongue after hearing this: "This is really a problem..."
Although Yu Shaoting is with her now, the fact that he is the son-in-law of the Xu family cannot be erased. Since she plans to be with him, she must accept this. Bai Xiao also understands, but the Xu family still
It's a joke in her heart, because of the secret that cannot be mentioned.
Jing Xi's life experience, she actually doesn't want anyone to know except the Yu family.
Talking about surrogacy will hurt a child; not talking about surrogacy will put Yu Shaoting and even the entire Yu family at the center of public opinion.
Normally, she doesn't think about these things, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Just like a torpedo buried deep in the seabed, it may explode at any time, causing a powerful storm under the calm sea.
Ye Hehuan asked: "What about Yu Shaoting? Is he still in the capital?"
"Well, it's a cerebral hemorrhage. It's quite serious. He's my grandson-in-law, so he should be there."
"Then when did Yu Shaoting say he would come back?"
Bai Xiao shook his head: "I didn't say anything, I should be back when the matter is settled."
Ye Hehuan hugged Bai Xiao's shoulders: "It's not easy for you to be together. Every family has its own troubles. How can there be smooth happiness these days?"
Bai Xiao held her hand tightly: "I know."
The two found a place to drink. Suddenly, a call came in from Bai Xiao's mobile phone. The caller ID was Yu Shaoting. She picked up: "Hello?"
"Where are you now?" The person on the other end of the phone asked very directly and suddenly.
Bai Xiao blinked and then said, "He Huan and I were shopping outside." After a pause, he asked, "How is Mr. Xu doing now?"
"...Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Bai Xiao was so stunned that he forgot to speak.
However, Ye Hehuan grabbed the phone, reported the address, hung up the phone, and looked at Bai Xiao with some contempt: "You were just teasing me."
"It's a shame I wasted so much saliva trying to comfort you."
——————————
Yu Shaoting returned from the capital.
When Bai Xiao stood waiting at the entrance of the shopping mall, she still didn't react because the result was beyond her expectation.
She thought he would wait there for Mr. Xu's condition to stabilize before coming back.
And when he came back, he didn't even say hello to her in advance, it was like a surprise attack.
Also, why does this person ignore her questions every time he calls? This is not the first time...
The Bentley Continental stopped beside her. It was the car driven by Yu Shaoting himself.
Bai Xiao got into the car and noticed the tiredness on his face and bloodshot eyes. He looked like someone who had stayed up all night without sleeping. However, the stubble on his chin was shaved clean and the clothes on his body were not messy.
, she couldn't help but ask: "Why are you back? When did you arrive?"
Yu Shaoting started the car and turned the steering wheel: "I just arrived. Why, you don't want me to come back?" As he said that, he glanced at her sideways.
Bai Xiao held on to the seat belt and looked at the road ahead: "No."
The interior of the car became quiet again, with only the sound of the tires scraping against the ground.
She turned around and asked about Mr. Xu's condition. Yu Shaoting said lightly: "It's a slight stroke, nothing serious."
The two of them said nothing more the whole time.
Back in Qinyuan, Yu Shaoting parked the car in the garage. Before getting out of the car, Bai Xiao asked: "Did you not sleep all night?"
Mrs. Yu said that Mr. Xu got sick in the middle of the night and rescued him in the early morning.
Yu Shaoting was unbuckling his seat belt. When he heard the sound, he looked up at her with a deep look in his eyes, as if to say: "So you still know how to care about me."
"I'll help you put in hot water and take a bath first, and then take a nap."
As she said this, she was about to get out of the car, but her arm was pulled. When she turned around, there was already an exquisite gift box in her arms.
On the gift box, there is an English word - roseonnl written on it.
Bai Xiao knew about this flower shop. At that time, she was using WeChat. Many people in her circle of friends reposted the roses from this flower shop on the * Festival. Roseonly was only given to one person in her life. She did not expect that Yu Shaoting would give it to her once in her life.
Give it to her, sitting there for a moment and forgetting to react.
Yu Shaoting had already gotten out of the car, took his luggage from the trunk, and stood there as if waiting for her.
Bai Xiao held the gift box without opening it, opened the car door and got out of the car, followed him into the villa.
At home, Grandma and Mrs. Yu were away, so Aunt Li went to pick up Jing Xi from school, and for a while they were the only two left.
