Can I take this to mean that you are trying to excuse me?
"If you can't handle it, call security and drag this old woman out immediately."
Bai Xiao looked at Xu Jingyan in surprise, because Xu Jingyan's words, 'old woman' and 'drag out', were somewhat inconsistent with his gentle temperament.
But Xu Jingyan's darkened face didn't look like a joke.
Old Mrs. Pei couldn't believe it and looked at Xu Jingyan. Obviously, she had never met anyone who dared to do this to her in her life!
The waiter has already ran over to ask Mrs. Pei to come out.
"Old Madam." Aunt Rong tugged on Old Mrs. Pei's sleeves, fearing that Old Mrs. Pei would have a fit regardless.
Bai Xiao looked at Mrs. Pei. Although some words were hard to say, she still said: "If you don't say that the relationship between me and Mr. Xu is innocent, what's your point of view when you come here and accuse me like this? We didn't invite anyone to come over and tell us what to do.
Hobby, please get out now."
"Your surname is Bai, you——" Seeing Bai Xiao's neither humble nor overbearing attitude, Mrs. Pei was so angry that her cervical vertebrae ached.
Aunt Rong quickly grabbed Old Mrs. Pei who was about to retort: "Old Madam, let's go first."
"Why are you leaving? I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Aunt Rong and the waiter did not give Old Mrs. Pei a chance to continue talking. They held Old Mrs. Pei to the left and right and quickly took her out of the private room.
After Mrs. Pei made such a fuss, neither Bai Xiao nor Xu Jingyan was in the mood to have a good meal. The head waiter of the restaurant even came over to apologize in person.
When the foreman left, Xu Jingyan looked at the silent Bai Xiao opposite him. He had just returned from answering the phone. As soon as he arrived at the door of the private room, he heard the old woman's cunning and mean sarcasm, "You and an old man are kissing me in public."
It made him so angry that he pushed the door open and walked in!
"Do you know the old lady just now?" Xu Jingyan asked.
Bai Xiao was thinking about how much Xu Jingyan had heard of Mrs. Pei's words. Suddenly she heard Xu Jingyan ask her. She raised her head, with a trace of panic in her eyes that she didn't hide. When she met Xu Jingyan's concerned gaze, she was stunned and said half truthfully.
: "Pei's old lady."
There was no need for her to deceive Xu Jingyan about Mrs. Pei's identity. If he was really curious, he could just check it out.
Xu Jingyan saw Bai Xiao's understatement. When he was in City C, he saw Bai Xiao's resume file on Xu Zhenning's desk and knew that she had worked at Pei's, but he didn't expect that she would offend this old lady Pei.
After coming out of the restaurant, Bai Xiao received a call from Yu Jingxi. The little guy said that the food in the cafeteria was unpalatable and asked Bai Xiao to send dessert to school.
Bai Xiao's ears were soft, and listening to Yu Jingxi's soft voice, she couldn't refuse the various requests he made.
"I also want four cups of milk tea..." the little guy said eagerly.
Bai Xiao responded one by one, hung up the phone, turned around, looked at Xu Jingyan, and said awkwardly: "Look, let me help you find a tour guide..."
Because of what Mrs. Pei said, even though there was nothing between her and Xu Jingyan, Bai Xiao still had a knot in her heart and wanted to take this opportunity to part ways with him.
Xu Jingyan looked at his watch, "I don't particularly want to go anywhere, so I'll send you to school and take a look at Jing Xi."
"..."
"Why, do you think my status is not suitable for seeing children now?" Xu Jingyan looked at her with a smile.
Bai Xiao quickly denied: "That's not what I meant..."
Xu Jingyan pointed to the milk tea shop across the road: "Then you go over and buy it, and I'll drive the car."
——————————
Bai Xiao carried egg tarts and milk tea to the classroom of Yu Jingxi's class, but was told that the little guy was rehearsing a chorus in the auditorium.
"The school will hold a singing competition at the end of the month, and Yu Jingxi signed up for this chorus herself," said the head teacher, Teacher Yu.
Bai Xiao asked Teacher Yu about Yu Jingxi's performance in school.
"Yu Jingxi has performed very well recently and gets along well with the classmates. Last week, he elected the team leader and got several votes."
Teacher Yu glanced at Xu Jingyan behind Bai Xiao: "This is -"
"I am Jing Xi's little grandpa." Xu Jingyan took the initiative to shake hands with Teacher Yu in a friendly manner. His self-introduction made Bai Xiao look at him twice.
In fact, Yu Jingxi no longer has any relationship with the Xu family...
From a distance, Bai Xiao heard the neat and childish singing of children coming from the auditorium. Teacher Yu sent them to the door and then went back to prepare for class. The lights in the auditorium were bright. Bai Xiao and Xu Jingyan entered, and at a glance they saw the children standing there.
Yu Jingxi in the front row of the choir.
The little guy stood on the far right side of the first row, with his hands behind his back, his belly puffed out, his eyebrows twisted, and his expression tangled. It looked more like he was shouting than singing.
The person standing in front of the conductor was a senior girl, and there was actually a live band next to her, all of whom were students from the school.
Bai Xiao found a place to wait for them to finish. Xu Jingyan sat next to her and suddenly asked: "Jing Xi doesn't know yet, does he?"
After being slightly startled, Bai Xiao understood what he was referring to.
"It's right not to let him know." Xu Jingyan leaned on his chair, looked at the stage, and sighed: "Children are no better at accepting things than adults. Telling him now will only make him lose his happy childhood. After all,
You can only aggrieve the Lord, you say, right?"
As he said that, he turned his head and looked at Bai Xiao, his eyes were very gentle, without any intention of reproach.
After learning the truth about Yu Jingxi's life experience, Xu Jingyan's reaction was not as angry as Liang Huizhen's, but not as disappointed as Xu Jingwen's. This kind of "Long live understanding" is really abnormal. You must know that in the eyes of uninformed people, she is
The third party who ruined his niece's marriage.
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he spurn her like Liang Huizhen did? How could he sit down with her and discuss this matter calmly?
"If there are problems in a marriage, we cannot blame external factors entirely. More, we should reflect on ourselves." Xu Jingyan said.
Bai Xiao hooked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked at Xu Jingyan jokingly: "Can I interpret this as you trying to excuse me?"
Xu Jingyan smiled and seemed really happy.
"I know I did something wrong and I deserve to be punished." Bai Xiaosi sighed, looking at Yu Jingxi on the stage, her heart felt soft, "I don't want others to be affected because of me, but it seems that reality always reminds me
There is a difference. I, the perpetrator, am fine now and have nothing wrong with me."
...But I want others to take the blame for me. As for the other perpetrator, he has long since passed away. People in the world never criticize the dead too harshly.
Xu Jingyan looked at Bai Xiao. Her facial features were very delicate. At first glance, he seemed to have seen a secret that had been hidden deep in his heart for more than twenty years. But now, looking at her so close, he realized that she and
The only difference between the two people in his mind was that there was a slight similarity between their facial features -
Hearing Bai Xiao's self-deprecating words, the smile on Xu Jingyan's face faded: "Everyone makes mistakes when they make mistakes, and they also have the opportunity to be forgiven. You were young at the time, so it was inevitable that you would make mistakes. The important thing is to correct them when you know they are wrong."
, if there is really something wrong with your character, why have you left all these years?"
"..."
Bai Xiao almost doubted whether Xu Jingyan was Xu Shuyuan's biological uncle. How could he say such disrespectful and unhelpful words?
Seeing Bai Xiao's half-smiling look, Xu Jingyan frowned: "Is what I said funny?"
"...No." Bai Xiaobei started, but after being enlightened by him, she felt much better.
——————————
As soon as the chorus ended, Yu Jingxi ran down quickly. Bai Xiao stood up and walked over. The little guy stood still in front of her: "I'm about to starve to death!"
As soon as Bai Xiao entered the auditorium just now, he saw her, his eyes rolled, and his interest in singing suddenly dropped.
At this time, the other three children came over and shyly called Bai Xiao: "Hello, aunt."
Bai Xiao recognized one of them, it was Wu Liaoming.
Several children were chattering non-stop, and when they saw the egg tarts and milk tea brought by Bai Xiao, they all rushed forward. Wu Liaoming glanced back at Bai Xiao, leaned into Yu Jingxi's ear, and said in a breathy voice: "Your stepmother is right
You are really good, and you are so young and beautiful. Does she have a sister..."
Yu Jingxi took a bite of the egg tart and glanced at him: "Yes, but she must despise you. You can't even handle the meat on your own body, so you still want to fuck her?"
Wu Liaoming touched his nose and turned around dejectedly to eat the egg tart.
Thinking of her unruly cousin, Yu Jingxi hummed twice and ran to Bai Xiao. When she saw Xu Jingyan, she sweetly called "little grandpa".
Xu Jingyan sat aside and watched quietly as Bai Xiao knelt down and wiped Yu Jingxi's mouth.
"We need to wipe it here too." Xiaojia stretched out his greasy, fat fingers, and Bai Xiao immediately wiped them clean with a tissue, not even leaving the gaps between his fingers.
After resting for a while, the little girl in charge started to call for assembly, planning to practice again and then let the children go back to class.
It’s just that the classmate who was playing the violin just now suddenly disappeared.
On the stage, someone suddenly shouted: "Jing Xi's mother is a violin teacher!"
A group of children all looked in the direction of Bai Xiao. Their clear eyes made Bai Xiao's ears feel warm.
"Auntie, can you help us pull it?" A big boy ran to Bai Xiao: "We have to rush to class in a while."
Bai Xiao pointed at herself. There was a master next to her. How could she be so good at what she did?
"Do you want to disappoint Jing Xi?" Next to him, Xu Jingyan raised his chin, pointing to the exact position where Yu Jingxi was standing.
Sure enough, although the little guy looked indifferent, his black eyes stared at her unblinkingly. Bai Xiao stood up and went up.
"Auntie, here's the piano for you." The big boy handed over the violin eagerly and pushed the shelf with the music scores over: "There are also music scores."
The airs were a little low, and Bai Xiao struggled to watch. She glanced towards the audience. Xu Jingyan was still sitting there. It looked like he was going to watch their performance. Bai Xiao took a deep breath, blushed and pulled it out bravely, child.
The song also sounded in her ears: "Let us swing the oars..."
——————————
Xu Jingyan was sitting below. When he found Bai Xiao playing the violin without reading the music, he couldn't help but clenched the paper cup with his hand.
Bai Xiao lowered his head slightly, half-lidded his eyelashes, and played the piano calmly and calmly. Although he didn't play particularly well, he grasped the music accurately.
Every violinist has his own hobby of playing the violin, and Xu Jingyan is no exception. Because he is born with a strong sense of sound, he never reads the music score even in formal concerts. At this moment, he saw that Bai Xiao can do it without the music score.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't surprised when I listened to the entire song just by listening to the children's singing.
After finishing the song, Bai Xiao went down, touched his hot earlobe, and walked up to Xu Jingyan: "I made you laugh."
Xu Jingyan was a little distracted. When he heard the sound, he raised his head, looked at Bai Xiao, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you born with these sounds, or did you practice them the next day?"
"...I don't know either," Bai Xiao took a sip of water, looked at Yu Jingxi who was running over after the group was dismissed, and said jokingly: "But when I was a kid, my violin teacher said I was very talented."
"Then why didn't you apply for the Conservatory of Music?" Xu Jingyan felt it was a pity. With her talent, if she studied hard, she would definitely achieve something.
Bai Xiao turned his head and smiled at him: "I lied to you. What kind of talent can you have? I only learned the violin to cope with it."
Xu Jingyan opened his mouth and wanted to ask who she was trying to deal with. Bai Xiao had already stood up and hugged Yu Jingxi: "How do you feel?"
"It's not bad." The little guy took Bai Xiao's water glass and drank several sips. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, sat down in Bai Xiao's seat, rubbed his butt, and started to complain: "The one standing on my right
He always sings out of tune, making me unable to sing accurately. The person on the left is really unreasonable, and you can’t blame me at all.”
Bai Xiao touched the little guy's head and really didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm for singing: "When we go home tonight, let's practice again?"
"What are you practicing for?" Yu Jingxi rolled his eyes at her: "I'm not the one who sings off-key!"
"..."
Yu Jingxi turned around and asked Xu Jingyan: "Little grandpa, do you think so?"
Xu Jingyan glanced at Bai Xiao and roughly understood something from Bai Xiao's expression. He smiled and said, "But you will sing better if you practice."
A call came in from Bai Xiao's mobile phone. It was Su Manrong's caller ID. She thought for a moment and picked it up. Su Manrong's gentle voice came from over there: "Xiao Xiao, where are you? I have something to tell you.
