"Little grandpa!" The little guy shouted happily behind Bai Xiao, who had already run over.
Bai Xiao turned around and saw a pair of suede leather shoes. She looked up and saw that the man was dressed casually. He was somewhat different from the gentle and elegant man in a black dress in the brochure, but what remained unchanged was the faint smile.
And that personable temperament.
The moment Yu Jingxi threw herself into his arms, Bai Xiao connected him with the Xu family.
It's a bit unexpected, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
"Grandpa, where's my dragon fruit?" Yu Jingxi was stroking Xu Jingyan's body like a sneaky little bad guy.
Xu Jingyan smiled, and there were light lines around his mouth. Not only did he not look old, but it added to his mature charm. There was no aloofness or indifference. He took out the hand that had been behind his back, and in it was a dragon fruit:
"This thing is not easy to find. I spent a lot of energy on it."
"Thank you, little grandpa." Yu Jingxi said sweetly, already taking the dragon fruit in his little hand.
Bai Xiao looked at the two people interacting and felt that the scene was indescribably harmonious. Then, Yu Jingxi ran towards him.
The little guy held the dragon fruit up to her: "Xiaobai, look, it's the dragon fruit you like to eat. I'll cut it for you, okay?"
"..." When did she say she liked eating dragon fruit?
He is the one who obviously likes to eat dragon fruit!
If she hadn't kept a straight face, the little guy wouldn't have used dragon fruit to please her.
Bai Xiao pretended to be angry and glared at Yu Jingxi. The little guy retracted his hands with guilt and said hesitantly: "How about... let's eat it tonight."
A chuckle sounded next to him.
Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi both turned their heads, and their four dark eyes fell on the man who had stood up on his knees.
When Xu Jingyan saw Bai Xiao's face clearly, he was in a daze for a moment. It took him a long time before he came back to his senses.
Bai Xiao noticed that Xu Jingyan's eyes were fixed on him, and out of politeness, he nodded respectfully to the other party as a greeting.
She didn't know anyone from the Xu family. Thinking of Liang Huizhen's attitude towards her, the Xu family probably didn't like her being too warm, right?
After all, there is Xu Shuyuan in the middle.
Xu Jingyan regained his smile, nodded towards Bai Xiao, and said to Yu Jingxi: "Is this the Xiaobai you are talking about?"
"Yes." Yu Jingxi held the dragon fruit and nodded seriously: "She is my father's girlfriend and she is getting married."
Xu Jingyan smiled and said nothing, but Bai Xiao blushed. By chance, her cell phone rang. It was the person in charge.
"...Okay, I'll be there right away."
Bai Xiao hung up the phone, looked at Yu Jingxi, and heard Xu Jingyan say: "Go and do your work. Jingxi stays here with me, a lonely person."
Xu Jingyan could see Bai Xiao's uneasiness: "I'll live here. When you're done, call me and I'll bring Jing Xi down."
Now that everyone has said so, Bai Xiao can no longer be pretentious, and the little guy is not reluctant.
"Okay, I'll take my leave now." Bai Xiao said and was about to leave.
But Xu Jingyan stopped her: "Do you know my number?"
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the phone call Yu Jingxi had just made to him. That number should be Xu Jingyan's.
"That's fine, let's go." Xu Jingyan smiled.
——————————
As soon as Bai Xiao entered the banquet hall, the person in charge appeared out of nowhere, pulled Bai Xiao to a corner and complained: "Auntie, where have you been!"
"I went out for a walk, what happened?" Bai Xiao also noticed that there were many more people in the banquet hall.
"The media will come to interview tomorrow's event, so the organizer said that we need to rehearse it now."
Bai Xiao frowned: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"It seems that jy Xu said that they don't want to make mistakes tomorrow, so they hope we can cooperate." The person in charge said, pointing to a certain location: "That Miss Xu is very resolute and resolute. As soon as she comes in, she says this is not good and that is not good.
She also puts on a face, I think she is frustrated in love and comes here to vent!"
The person in charge of the art center is a 28-year-old young man, so he talks more casually.
Bai Xiao looked in the direction he pointed, and what she saw was the "Miss Xu" who had collided with her. She was pointing at the podium, frowning and saying something.
"She seems to be jy Xu's daughter." The person in charge curled his lips: "Don't you have a powerful father? What's so great about it."
"You are purely envious and jealous." Bai Xiao laughed and went over to guide the students they brought over.
The person in charge followed her: "But I heard that jy Xu has no children of his own. This Miss Xu was brought here by his wife."
"You know all this?"
"A few years ago, a friend of mine interviewed jy Xu. At that time, Miss Xu called jy Xu uncle, not dad."
Bai Xiao turned around and put a violin on him: "I think it's a pity that you don't become a paparazzi."
The person in charge came over again mischievously: "Don't think I didn't hear it. Just now at the station, Yu Jingxi called you stepmother..."
"..." Bai Xiao stared at him, frowning, and the person in charge hurriedly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone, I will keep this secret in my stomach."
Bai Xiao said nothing.
"If any rumors spread about me, my name will be written upside down!" the person in charge vowed.
Bai Xiao grabbed the violin and said, "Even if you write it backwards, your name is still Wang Yi."
The person in charge suddenly turned serious: "Although I may not look serious, I know the seriousness. If you don't let me know, I won't spread the word."
Bai Xiao really didn't want this matter to spread, so he said thank you.
——————————
Miss Xu Zhenning took a phone call midway and left.
"Oh, Master Miejie is finally gone!" the person in charge sighed. Bai Xiao didn't feel much, but she still glanced at the door a few times.
Although there were no more stringent requirements from Miss Xu, the so-called rehearsal was still postponed until five o'clock in the evening.
When Bai Xiao came out of the banquet hall, she didn't go to Yu Jingxi directly. Instead, she called Secretary Jing first.
Jing Xing was shocked when he received Bai Xiao's call. Bai Xiao hesitated for a moment and then asked Jing Xing about the hotel they were staying in tonight. Jing Xing always knew everything about Bai Xiao, and finally expressed his love.
Zhongxin: "Miss Bai, don't worry, I won't let those monsters and ghosts get close to Mr. Yu!"
Bai Xiao smiled, thanked him, and then called Xu Jingyan, who said he would bring Yu Jingxi down immediately.
Within five minutes, the elevator door opened, and Yu Jingxi jumped out of it. When he saw Bai Xiao, he immediately ran over and hugged her legs.
Xu Jingyan paced behind him, always with a smile on his face.
Bai Xiao held Yu Jingxi's hand and was about to say goodbye when Xu Jingyan looked at his watch and said, "How about we have dinner together."
It sounded like a consultation, but the tone didn't mean to discuss it with her.
Bai Xiao looked at Xu Jingyan's kind expression, looked down at the little guy, and finally agreed.
Even she herself didn't understand that she didn't hate Xu Jingyan, an elder of the Xu family. On the contrary, he made her feel kind.
When Yu Jingxi proposed to eat KFC, Bai Xiao thought that Xu Jingyan would object. Unexpectedly, the elder picked up Yu Jingxi with a smile, raised his chin at her, said "Let's go" and went to the parking lot to drive.
I took them to a nearby KFC store.
Sitting in KFC, watching Xu Jingyan skillfully announce the names of the foods, Bai Xiao suddenly understood why Yu Jingxi liked this elder. He was not like one of those stern parents with airs and sternness, but more like your friend who could
Find common topics with you at any time.
Yu Jingxi was not polite at all. He took the list and pointed here and there with his little finger: "This, this, and this..."
Then he handed the order to Bai Xiao: "Xiao Bai, I ordered egg tarts and corn on the cob for you, what else do you want to eat?"
Bai Xiao saw that he ordered a large portion of French fries, six Orleans grilled wings, two bowls of fresh hibiscus vegetable soup, a box of egg tarts and a few corn cobs, so he didn't order anything else and got up after taking the order.
When he went to line up, Xu Jingyan got there first and took the order: "I'll go."
"No, let me do it." Bai Xiao felt that the elders should not spend money, and he didn't order anything.
But Xu Jingyan had already gone over to line up.
Yu Jingxi tugged on Bai Xiao's sleeve and shook his calf: "We should actively exploit rich people like my grandpa."
"..." Bai Xiaozhen was curious about where Yu Jingxi learned these strange words, and the love letter he wrote left a deep impression on her.
Bai Xiao sat back down and turned to ask Yu Jingxi: "You haven't told me yet, where did you get the content of your love letter?"
"What love letter?" The little guy started to pretend he understood.
Bai Xiao lifted his index finger and tapped his forehead: "You don't know? I was deeply fascinated by you the first time I saw you..."
Yu Jingxi rolled her eyes and squirmed on the chair: "That was the immature love of my immature period..."
Just as Bai Xiao wanted to pinch his soft little cheek, a dinner plate appeared in front of her. She turned her head and saw Xu Jingyan who had returned to his seat. There was a lot of food on the table. Yu Jingxi shouted: "
"Long live my little grandpa", he held a Coke and started drinking it.
"Drink slowly." Bai Xiao said.
Xu Jingyan leaned forward and placed a cup of chocolate sundae in front of her. Bai Xiao looked at him slightly surprised.
"I saw a little girl buying this when I was queuing up. I thought you would like it, so I ordered a drink."
Bai Xiao looked at the sundae, slightly ashamed. She rarely ate KFC, but Xu Jingyan obviously regarded her as the same child as Jing Xi.
"Don't like it?" Xu Jingyan asked, pretending to stand up: "Then what do you like to eat? I'll buy it later."
"No!" Bai Xiao said hurriedly, picked up the spoon and smiled: "I quite like it."
——————————
Xu Jingyan returned to China yesterday afternoon. He did not return to the capital. He accepted the organizer's invitation and came directly to City C.
In fact, he has been invited to many such events in the past years, but he has always ignored them and has always cooperated with major international events. But maybe it is because he is getting older and has lost the high-spiritedness of his youth, and he suddenly wants to settle down.
Come down instead of running around the world.
Suddenly, a small hand appeared in front of his eyes, shaking back and forth.
Xu Jingyan pulled his mind back from wandering away and saw Yu Jingxi looking at him curiously: "Little grandpa, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing." Xu Jingyan took a sip of coffee and said, "I just thought, if only I had a lovely grandson like Jing Xi."
After hearing the joking tone, Yu Jingxi pursed her lips and shook her head, feeling a little proud.
Bai Xiao touched Yu Jingxi's little head, heard Xu Jingyan sighing, and comforted: "Your daughter is very career-minded, and she will be there in the future."
Xu Jingyan smiled: "That's my stepdaughter. My wife and I have no children."
"..." Bai Xiao was speechless. She didn't expect that what the person in charge said was true. She thought it was a joke...
Seeing her embarrassment, Xu Jingyan smiled: "My wife was accidentally hit by a car many years ago. She was injured at that time and has been unable to have children since then."
"Sorry." Bai Xiao said bitterly.
"This is not a shameful thing, and you didn't mean it." Xu Jingyan didn't have any grudges. He mentioned these unknown things calmly and relaxedly: "Besides, I am very satisfied with my current life. Zhen Ning is a
As a filial child, for me, family harmony is the most important thing."
Bai Xiao lowered her eyes and looked at the melting sundae. She did not express any opinions on the family affairs of her elders.
Xu Jingyan, on the other hand, suddenly changed the topic: "How did you and Shao Ting meet?"
Bai Xiao looked up, saw the warm smile in his eyes, and said, "Jing Xi used to be a student in our art center, and he is a parent."
Perhaps seeing Bai Xiao's wariness, Xu Jingyan didn't care and asked again: "What do you teach?"
"Violin." Bai Xiao answered truthfully, there was nothing to hide: "However, I resigned last month."
Xu Jingyan looked at the young girl across from him, especially when he heard she said she taught violin, he suddenly felt good about her. He turned the disposable cup in his hand and said casually: "Your name is Xiaobai? I heard
Jing Xi calls you that."
Yu Jingxi gnawed on the roasted wings, rolled her eyes, and listened to their words with her little ears.
"My surname is Bai."
Xu Jingyan looked at Bai Xiao blankly, with a slight gleam in his eyes. Bai Xiao asked puzzledly: "Are you okay?"
"No...it's okay." Xu Jingyan waved his hands and twitched his lips: "My surname is Bai. This surname is not common."
"Everyone in our family is named Bai." Bai Xiao said.
"Really?" Xu Jingyan was a little distracted when he spoke. Bai Xiao didn't know what he said wrong, so he stopped talking.
——————————
Xu Jingyan sent Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi back to the hotel and went back to his room first.
Bai Xiao could see his tiredness.
After returning to the room, Yu Jingxi threw off her leather shoes, rolled on her stomach, covered her round belly, and sighed with satisfaction.
Seeing Bai Xiao squatting there to pack her luggage, she poked her head out and said, "Xiao Bai, I don't plan to take a shower yet."
"..." Bai Xiao turned around: "Get ready, let's go find your father."
The little guy was unhappy: "Why are you looking for daddy? It's so late and it's not safe to be outside."
Finally we were able to be alone together... Yu Jingxi glanced at Bai Xiao shyly, why did she have to turn on another big light bulb?
Bai Xiao moved his shoes to the side: "Hurry up, come down and put on your shoes."
Yu Jingxi reluctantly put on her shoes. Seeing Bai Xiao tidying up her clothes, she pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and slowly packed her schoolbag. Bai Xiao urged him a few more words, and he snorted softly, but it still didn't matter.
Slowly, he put on his schoolbag and left the room with Bai Xiao.
Stopping a taxi in front of the hotel, Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi got into the back seat and reported the hotel address given by Jing Xing.
Yu Shaoting stayed in a newly built five-star hotel in City C.
After getting out of the car, Bai Xiao led Yu Jingxi in and called Yu Shaoting in the waiting area of the lobby.
No one has ever answered.
Bai Xiao was about to dial Jing Xing's number when she saw a group of people coming out of the elevator from a distance. With her sharp eyes, she immediately saw Yu Shaoting.
Yu Shaoting was wearing a black suit, with a slender figure and a strong and restrained momentum. He was walking in the middle of the crowd. Next to him was a woman who was talking to others with a smile. Bai Xiao did not admit it wrong. That woman was planning the banquet hall in the afternoon.
Xu Zhenning in rehearsal.
"Dad!" The child's clear and tender voice echoed through the hotel lobby.
Bai Xiao, who was carrying a schoolbag, and the cute and beautiful child suddenly became the center of attention.
Yu Shaoting turned his head and saw the mother and son not far away. His frown relaxed and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he returned to normal.
