once having seen the best, the rest is not worthwhile looking
"Are they afraid that others won't know that their son is looking for San'er outside and forcing his first wife to death?!"
Liang Huizhen was standing in the living room, with the nanny collecting the broken pieces of the glass. Just now, Liang Huizhen had just received a call from Xu Heng.
Xu Jingyan frowned after hearing Liang Huizhen's scolding.
Over there, Xu Jingwen came out of the study and said to Liang Huizhen with a cold face: "What are you shouting? Do you want to wake dad up?"
Xu Jingwen did not publicize the fact that Yu Jingxi was not Xu Shuyuan's child. Even in the Xu family, except for his wife Liang Huizhen, he only told Xu Jingyan, his younger brother. This was not an honorable thing. Even for the sake of the Xu family's face, he would
You have to keep this secret.
Moreover, by doing this, the Yu family owed the Xu family a favor. Even though the current relationship between the two families had deteriorated, they did not really break up on the surface.
But Liang Huizhen didn't think so much. Her daughter's death was unknown, and she couldn't swallow this breath!
After returning from Fengcheng, this was not the first time that Liang Huizhen and Xu Jingwen had a dispute. When Xu Jingyan came out of the house and walked to the car, he could still hear Liang Huizhen's unwilling voice: "You are not sad or sad, your career is
Zhong, I am not, it was me who neglected my daughter in the past..."

When Xu Jingyan returned home, Xia Lan was not there. Only the nanny came out with ginger tea: "Sir, are you back?"
Xia Lan had an important patient who needed surgery tonight. She told him before going out in the morning, so she wouldn't worry about not being able to find someone.
This is their way of getting along as a couple, never hiding each other's whereabouts, simple, honest and reassuring.
"Sir, my wife asked me to stew this for you. She said that your throat has not been feeling well these past few days and you coughed at night."
"Put it on the table in my study. I'll drink it later." After saying that, Xu Jingyan went upstairs and returned to the master bedroom to wash up.
Xu Jingyan put on his nightgown and went to the study. He smelled the smell of ginger, and his tired expression softened a little. In fact, he didn't like drinking ginger tea, and his diet was very irregular. After marriage, Xia Lan corrected many of his problems.
, I wasn’t used to it at first, but now I’m used to it.
It rained in the capital in the evening, and Xu Jingyan opened the window. There seemed to be the smell of green grass mixed with the earth in the air.
When he turned around, he saw a sachet filled with traditional Chinese medicine hanging on the lampshade of the desk lamp. It was sewn by Xia Lan herself, and was said to be refreshing.
Xia Lan was born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine, the Xia family, which is also very famous in the capital. The oldest generation of traditional Chinese medicine can be traced back to the imperial hospital envoys of the Ming Dynasty. When Xia Lan was young, she studied abroad and fell in love with an international student, but the result was unexpected.
A Tuofei man secretly gave birth to a daughter abroad without telling his family.
The Xia family was a traditional scholarly family and could not accept such behavior from their descendants, so they once expelled Xia Lan from the family.
Xia Lan was stubborn by nature, so she refused to give in to the Xia family and lived alone with her children.
He would marry Xia Lan purely because of a joke bet. He said that if I am still single when I am thirty and you are not married, we will get married.
That year, he went abroad and did not return for five years. He was thirty-three years old when he came back.
He met Xia Lan again at his father's birthday banquet. He heard someone said that she had never married, and the two were already quite close at that time. One day after the banquet, he and she met by chance in the hospital, and they were sitting in the restaurant.
Drinking tea there and talking about the past, she said that she had been waiting for someone all these years.
When he was young, he had fallen deeply in love with a woman. After the fall, he thought he would never touch the relationship again.
But when he heard Xia Lan's words, his heart felt sour and moved, and he suddenly recalled the promise he had made back then.
Initially, when he proposed to marry Xia Lan, he encountered strong opposition from his family. Perhaps because of his past relationship, his family had very strict requirements on the woman he wanted to marry. Xia Lan was obviously unqualified and was driven out by the family.
She also brought a child with her, and her conduct was once questioned by the Xu family.
When he told her to cancel the agreement, she said nothing or blamed him. She just smiled and said, "I understand."
The capital was a sad place for him, so he chose to leave again. After a few months, he called home and found out that she had been taking care of his mother, who had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed at the time, and endured the cold eyes of other members of the Xu family.
, and persisted day after day.
Half a month later, he received a call from home. His fourth brother's son had fallen down a hill while playing during a spring outing. Fortunately, he was found by Xia Lan and saved his life.
However, in order to protect the child, Xia Lan was hit hard on the head and fell unconscious.
That*, he sat in front of the window all night, smoked three packs of cigarettes, and bought a plane ticket to return home at dawn.
Standing in front of the hospital bed, looking at Xia Lan with a scarred face, the only thing he could do was to go to the Xia family and propose marriage to the two elders of the Xia family.
At that time, he had no fluttering feelings for Xia Lan, but he had a responsibility. A woman was willing to sacrifice for him to this extent. He should not let her down again. He was abroad all year round, but she wanted to take care of his parents.
, offered to stay in the country.
Back then, he didn't even give her a decent wedding. She said that it would be a joke for someone like her to organize a grand wedding.
When he said that he was tired of the floating life abroad and planned to return to China to settle down, she cried with joy. At that moment, he actually felt sad. This woman had been by his side silently for more than ten years and never asked for anything in return, even—
—
In order to protect his mother, he got into a car accident and lost their first and only child.
——————————
Thinking about the past, Xu Jingyan took a sip of ginger tea, and the scalding temperature reached deep into his heart.
There was a knock on the study door.
Xu Jingyan came to his senses, put down the cup, and rushed to the door: "Come in."
"Sir, I was cleaning up the house just now, and then I remembered that there was a courier from you last time. You were not at home before, and my memory forgot to give it to you."
The nanny brought in a courier bag. Xu Jingyan saw the name of the sender, which was written Yu Shaoting. He opened the bag and saw the contents inside. He immediately remembered that he bought it at Liyang Supermarket. Unexpectedly, it was still there.
Sent it to him...
The first person Xu Jingyan thought of was Bai Xiao, the little girl with a delicate smile.
Thinking of Bai Xiao, he couldn't help but think of what Su Manrong said, that child is dead. Are you satisfied with this answer?
Xu Jingyan closed his eyes and stroked his face with his hands, feeling a faint bitterness in his heart.
With the connections of the Xu family in China, it would not be difficult for him to get information about Su Manrong if he wanted to check. White, he actually didn't know that the well-known Chinese painter was her. He once heard a friend mention this low-key artist at a party.
A faceless painter, he just laughed it off...
Su Manrong, female, 45 years old, native of Kaiyuan City, Yunnan, Han nationality, Xu Jingyan still has the contents of those materials in his mind.
He looked up at the landscape painting hanging on the wall. Xia Lan bought it from the gallery not long ago to decorate the study room. He had not noticed it before. Last night, he stood in front of the painting for a long time, looking at the familiar painting.
Feng, looking at the English signature at the bottom, felt that this was a big joke played by fate on him.
——————————
Downstairs, there was the sound of the door opening, accompanied by the nanny's greeting: "Madam, have you had dinner? Do you want me to make some midnight snacks?"
"I just ate in the hospital, you don't have to worry about me, just go and rest."
Xu Jingyan opened the door to the study room and happened to see Xia Lan going upstairs to open the door. She was rubbing her temples with a look of fatigue after surgery on her face.
"You're back?" When Xia Lan saw him, she immediately showed a gentle smile, and her originally cool temperament softened instantly.
Xu Jingyan took the bag from her hand naturally: "Today's surgery is very difficult?"
Xia Lan wore a one-step skirt with a shirt and suit on top, and her short ear-length hair made her look capable and smart. Only in front of him would she reveal the tenderness of a woman, smiled, and stretched her sore arms: "Surgery
It’s okay, but it’s difficult for the patient’s family to deal with it.”
Xu Jingyan patted her shoulder: "I just put the bath water for you, go in and wash it."
"Husband, thank you." Xia Lan looked at him with an moved expression.
Xu Jingyan looked back at his wife who suddenly became emotional. Under the light, he suddenly noticed that there were a few silver hairs in her temples.
He stepped forward and hugged her lightly: "Don't be too tired from work. The family is not short of money."
"Violin master, yes, you are the breadwinner of the family." Xia Lan said with a smile, hugged him back, and then went into the room to wash up.
When Xia Lan disappeared at the door, the smile on Xu Jingyan's lips also faded. He returned to the study and saw the express things on the table. He took his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Bai Xiao. He didn't know why.
, suddenly, I really want to hear that little girl’s voice.
The feeling was very subtle, just like a father towards his daughter. He thought that maybe he had placed some kind of emotion on her.
——————————
When Bai Xiao received the call from Xu Jingyan, she was sitting on the carpet in the study room, helping Yu Jingxi cut her nails one finger at a time.
The little guy was bored and couldn't move around. He stretched out his other hand to pick his nostril, but Bai Xiao gently slapped it away: "Pay attention to hygiene!"
Yu Jingxi rolled his eyes, but didn't move any further.
Because Bai Xiao was pregnant, 'Rouwan' was sent to the compound to live temporarily and could not come back for at least eight months.
"Change your hand." Bai Xiao said.
The little guy stretched out his left hand, supported his chin with his right hand, pursed his small mouth, and yawned blearily.
"Are you sleepy?" Bai Xiao glanced up at him while cutting. Seeing him nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, she decided quickly.
After Bai Xiao became pregnant, the floor of the master bedroom was covered with shag carpet, not only to prevent slipping, but also to prevent her soles from getting cold, because she likes to guess the floor with bare feet. As for the bathroom, there are anti-slip mats, even when she wears
I have slippers, all of which are newly purchased non-slip slippers.
After packing up the things on the carpet, Yu Jingxi rubbed his eyes and put on cartoon pajamas, "I want to sleep here tonight."
"Okay." Bai Xiao patted his son's little butt: "Go up and sleep."
The little guy got the order, threw off his slippers, and rushed to the bed. Like a little loach, he slipped into the bed in the blink of an eye. Maybe he was really tired. After lying down for a while, he opened his mouth slightly and started to snort.
Snoring lightly, Bai Xiao tucked him in, then went over to sort out the homework books spread out on the table.
Now that she is pregnant, Bai Xiao rarely carries her mobile phone with her.
When the phone was vibrating on the counter, Bai Xiao rushed over, fearing to wake up the little one. When she saw that the caller was Xu Jingyan, she thought about it and answered it.
"Are you looking for me?" Bai Xiao asked after walking out of the bedroom.
Xu Jingyan said hesitantly: "Did I disturb your rest?" Maybe he didn't expect Bai Xiao to go to bed so early.
"No..." Bai Xiao closed the door, "Jing Xi just went to bed and I haven't yet, why did you call me suddenly?"
"I received what you sent me last time, and I want to say thank you."
"That," Bai Xiao also remembered: "You originally bought it, and the postage was paid by Yu Shaoting."
Xu Jingyan was silent for a while, maybe he couldn't find the topic. Bai Xiao wanted to hang up, but because he was an elder, he couldn't speak. It took a long time before he heard him say: "I heard that the Yu family is inviting guests today."
After dinner, you met Shaoting’s relatives, right?"
"..."
Bai Xiao didn't understand why Xu Jingyan cared about this. Thinking that he was from the Xu family, she couldn't help but think of Xu Shuyuan. She thought it was the Xu family who asked him to inquire about it. She said a few words vaguely, but Xu Jingyan seemed to be acting on a whim.
He actually said that he would give her a wedding gift.
"No need..." Bai Xiao said.
But Xu Jingyan insisted on giving it to her: "You live with Shao Ting now, right? Then I will send the gift to Qinyuan. Okay, go to bed early."
Xu Jingyan hung up the phone without giving Bai Xiao another chance to refuse.
——————————
Bai Xiao held her cell phone and considered whether to call back and let Xu Jingyan give up the idea of giving gifts.
Regardless of Xu Jingyan's sincere blessing or not, Bai Xiao felt that accepting this gift would be troublesome if the Xu family knew about it.
A car horn sounded outside the villa, it was Yu Shaoting who was back.
Bai Xiao had already asked Aunt Li to rest. She went downstairs, and just as Yu Shaoting entered the entrance to change shoes, she went over and took the coat from his hand.
Yu Shaoting raised his head and looked at her affectionately: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Bai Xiao told them about Xu Jingyan's wedding gift. Yu Shaoting loosened his tie and said disapprovingly: "Then accept it."
He didn't seem at all worried about the trouble this gift might cause.
Bai Xiao also remembered something. Bai Qiuhua and his wife went to Hongyuan to look for her yesterday, but nothing happened after that, but she was still worried.
"Will they cause trouble to you?" Bai Xiao asked.
Yu Shaoting entered the kitchen and poured a glass of water. After taking a few sips, he turned his head, looked at her, and changed the topic: "Go get my suit."
She just put his coat on the sofa in the living room.
Bai Xiao went to get the suit and handed it to him, but he said, "Take a look for yourself to see what's inside."
"..."
Bai Xiao rummaged through the inner pocket of his suit and took out three tickets. One of them had her name on it. She was inevitably surprised.
"Next week, Jing Xi happens to be on vacation, and I have to go back there to handle some official matters. You go over there and get familiar with the environment first."
The direct destination on the ticket is Las Vegas.
"Actually... it's not that urgent." Bai Xiao held the ticket, but her blush still betrayed her mood at the moment.
Yu Shaoting walked up to her, lowered his head and looked at her: "Don't want to go?"
"No," Bai Xiao raised her head and looked at him, a little excited and a little nervous: "I'm not... ready yet."
"I don't need you to do anything, just bring your people with you."
Yu Shaoting put down the cup, pulled her over, hugged her into his arms, and buried his head in her hair: "How many days have you not washed your hair?"
"..." Bai Xiao pushed him shyly: "Then you go find someone who washes your hair every day."
Because of her pregnancy, she didn't wash her hair as frequently as before, but she still washed her hair once every three days. Thinking about it, her face burned.
Yu Shaoting hugged her tightly: "Even if it stinks, I have to hold my breath and kiss her."
————————————
Xu Jingyan put down his cell phone. Over there, Xia Lan opened the study door after taking a shower: "Who are you calling?"
After coming in, she naturally saw the bottles and cans on the desk, "Don't you have some at home? Why did you buy them again?"
"I bought it in City C last time and left it there. Someone sent it to me." Xu Jingyan concealed Li Yang's part.
Xia Lan picked up a bottle and looked at the ingredients, then muttered: "Then he really means it. Next time he comes to the capital, invite him to his house for dinner.
Xu Jingyan smiled and did not mention the relationship between Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting. He just took out an envelope from the desk, which contained photos taken when he attended an event in City C last time. Xia Lan came over: "I'm delivering medicine to you.
