Didn’t you have a part in what happened back then and tell me about it!
"What kind of attitude does he have?" Hu Yaning, the daughter-in-law of the third family, said displeasedly: "Is it possible that now he doesn't even take us elders seriously?"
Xu Jingming, the third eldest son of the Xu family, reached out and pulled his wife, his eyes hinting that she should not cause any more trouble. Didn't you see that the eldest brother and sister-in-law looked ugly?
Hu Yaning snorted coldly: "I'm not wrong. He didn't regard our Xu family as in-laws at all. Shuyuan was in a plane crash. Who knows how much human factors accounted for it. A good person suddenly returned to China and did not return to Feng.
If you don’t go back to the capital city, why did you go to city b instead?”
After saying these words, the corridor suddenly became quiet, and everyone present looked bad.
Once some speculations are made public, even if they are unfounded, they will leave a shadow in the hearts of others. For example, the cause of Xu Shuyuan's death.
Although Xu Jingwen and his wife didn't speak, they obviously listened to what they said. Liang Huizhen's eyes were wet and red. After learning that Yu Jingxi was not her grandson and that her daughter died in the plane crash, she had insomnia every night and couldn't help but find someone to go to.
I inquired about my daughter's accident back then and just got a reply today.
Regarding the matter of the woman and the child, Yu Shaoting was covering up the matter, but the more he covered it up, the more certain it became that Liang Huizhen had something to do with Bai Xiao!
At the birthday banquet, Liang Huizhen finally couldn't hold back her anger when she saw Yu Zhanming, and couldn't help but tell Mr. Xu everything.
At this moment, listen to Hu Yaning’s analysis again——
Xu Jingyan on the side suddenly coughed twice and said to Xia Lan, who was supporting Liang Huizhen: "Take my sister-in-law to the family rest room to take a nap."
Hu Yaning wanted to say something else, but her husband stopped her in a low voice: "What are you talking about without thinking? If you don't want to be here, just go home."
Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel, Fu Min, the daughter-in-law of the fifth family, hurriedly came over and took the third sister-in-law's arm: "If you don't have the same experience as these big men, since dad has passed the danger, let's go downstairs to have something to eat and wait.
Come back later." After saying that, he pulled Hu Yaning away who still refused to give up.
Over at the Xu family, the birthday banquet still needs someone to clean up the mess. The two Xu family sisters went back with Xu Jingwen, while Xu Jingyan, the third and fourth children stayed at the hospital.
Xu Jingming and Xu Jinghong went down to have dinner, while Xu Jingyan watched from outside the ward in case there was an emergency.
Just now, Mr. Xu woke up, took off his oxygen mask, and the first thing he said was: "Call Shao Ting, call him. I have something to ask him!"
My father is a strict and rigid person, but he is willing to call his grandson-in-law "Shaoting", which shows that the matter is not serious enough to cause a rift.
Xu Jingyan glanced at the closed door of the ward, walked away to the half-open window in the corridor, and lit a cigarette. Counting it all, he had not touched a cigarette for almost fifteen years, but these days, the feeling in his heart
Annoyance made him pick up his cigarette case and lighter, but he didn't want his family to know.
I just smoke a few secretly outside when no one is around.
When the sparks burned to the cigarette and almost burned his fingers, Xu Jingyan came to his senses, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked towards the lounge.
——————————
Some hospital lounges are specially equipped with single rooms for family members.
Liang Huizhen was lying on the bed, looking very poor. Xia Lan poured a cup of hot water from the nurse's station and gave it to Liang Huizhen with some consolation.
Just now, Liang Huizhen had told Xia Lan everything. Compared with the other sisters-in-law, it was obvious that Xia Lan and her, who had the same strong personality, had more topics in common.
"This man is so arrogant, I really can't find the words to describe him." Liang Huizhen finally couldn't help but curse.
Xia Lan sat by the bed and sighed: "Things have already happened. Sister-in-law, just look at it and don't think too much and hurt yourself."
"Alan, you also have a daughter. Poor parents in the world. If Shuyuan hadn't swapped cars with him on the wedding day, would she have had a car accident? Do you know what that old lady Jiang Huizhi said? She said my daughter was born
A hen that doesn’t lay eggs actually blames others for his son’s cheating!”
"Didn't dad let him in just now? He will want justice for Shuyuan's matter," Xia Lan advised.
Xu Jingyan walked to the door of the rest room and vaguely heard voices inside. After a while, it became quiet, and then the door opened.
Xia Lan came out and was quite surprised to see him. She glanced in and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law is asleep. You are so busy now. Have you eaten?"
Xu Jingyan shook his head, not having much appetite: "You should go home first. Zhen Ning has a cold these days and needs someone to keep an eye on her."
She reached out and opened his collar: "...it's okay, there is a nanny at home. She is so big, doesn't she know how to take care of herself?"
Xu Jingyan shook her hand, and Xia Lan smiled. The couple walked to the seats outside, Xia Lan sat down, and Xu Jingyan went to the vending machine and bought two cans of hot coffee.
"Smoking?" Xia Lan took a deep breath and keenly smelled the smell of tobacco on his body.
Xu Jingyan handed her the opened can of coffee. Since he was discovered, he didn't hide too much: "Just now, I smoked one outside the ward."
"What, is there something bothering you?" Xia Lan asked.
"I just suddenly got craving for cigarettes." Xu Jingyan took a sip of coffee, his stomach warmed up, and he looked sideways at Xia Lan: "Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy it."
At night, although the heating was turned on in the hospital corridor, it was still a little cold.
Mr. Xu was preparing for a banquet when he fell ill. In the end, the whole family went straight to the hospital without eating properly.
Xia Lan said she wasn't hungry. She thought of Liang Huizhen in the lounge and said, "My sister-in-law has told me everything. What are dad's plans? I really didn't expect it to be like this."
"What did sister-in-law say?" Xu Jingyan asked.
Xia Lan paused and looked at her husband questioningly: "Did you already know about this?"
"..." Xu Jingyan did not answer.
But as smart as Xia Lan, she knew she had guessed right: "What else can my sister-in-law say? Shuyuan is her biological daughter. When something like this happens, the grandson I have thought about for so many years suddenly is no longer a grandson, and my daughter passed away in unknown ways."
Bai, no mother would be able to bear it."
Liang Huizhen didn't want to mention Yu Shaoting's partner because it became a taboo, so Xia Lan naturally didn't ask too much.
"I heard from my sister-in-law that that woman has lost her parents since she was a child, and I don't know who she grew up with. Since she left back then, what is she doing back now?" Xia Lan said, sighing: "As long as there is a little
Conscience, you shouldn’t mess up the Xu family and the Yu family..."
"She is not the kind of person you think." Xu Jingyan interrupted her.
Xia Lan saw her husband's sudden bad expression and frowned: "What's wrong? I didn't say anything, why are you so angry?"
"Shuyuan and Shao Ting's marriage has come to this stage. Rather than blaming others, it's better that they themselves have problems. How old is Shao Ting, could he still be plotted by a girl who was only a teenager at the time?
What happened back then, things changed and people changed, and it’s hard to say exactly what happened.”
Xia Lan didn't agree with Xu Jingyan's words: "She can't slap her, but she, a newly grown-up girl, can do things like getting involved with a married man. How good can she be? A child who has not been taught by her parents since she was a child, how can you do that?"
How many people can ask for her upbringing to be recognized?"
Xu Jingyan suddenly stood up. Xia Lan kept silent, raised her head, and looked at her husband in surprise: "What happened to you tonight?"
In all their years as a couple, this was the first time that Xu Jingyan fell out, and it was inexplicable that Xia Lan frowned.
Xu Jingyan also realized how excited he was just now. In fact, even he didn't understand why he was so unhappy when Xia Lan accused Bai Xiao. He couldn't help but refute Xia Lan's words, calmed down, and put the can
Throw it into the trash can next to it: "I'll go downstairs to buy some midnight snacks."
"I'll go with you." Xia Lan said, getting up and going to the lounge to get her bag.
Xu Jingyan didn't wait for her. After saying "I can go by myself", he turned around and left.
——————————
Bai Xiao waited in the car for a long time but didn't see Yu Shaoting coming down, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.
She looked at the driver and Staff Officer Xu in front of her. If it weren't for what Yu Shaoting said before leaving, if she had gotten off the car at that time, these two people would have been at home by now, and there would be no need to sit here with her. She saw
He looked at his cell phone and said to Staff Officer Xu: "I'll just wait here. You can go back first."
Officer Xu refused to leave, but asked Bai Xiao if she was hungry. After Bai Xiao became pregnant, her food intake increased, and if she went to bed late, she would usually have a midnight snack.
Not wanting to trouble Officer Xu anymore, Bai Xiao pointed to the convenience store next to the hospital, which is open 24 hours a day: "I'm going to buy some food and I'll be back soon."
Bai Xiao got out of the car and within a few steps, she almost bumped into a man who was coming out of the inpatient department with his head lowered. When he saw the person clearly, he was a little surprised.
Xu Jingyan also didn't expect to meet Bai Xiao downstairs in the hospital. At first glance, he thought he had seen it wrong. But after a second look, it was really her.
"Why are you alone?" Xu Jingyan frowned and looked at her. It was not safe for a little girl like her to be alone in the middle of the night.
"Advisor Xu is in the car, I'll come down to buy something." Bai Xiao glanced at the inpatient department and couldn't help but asked Xu Jingyan about Yu Shaoting's situation upstairs.
"Are you afraid that we will eat him?" A smile appeared on Xu Jingyan's face, no longer as sullen as when he came out just now, "He is still talking to my father. I'm afraid he won't be able to come out for a while. Where do he want to buy something?"
Things just happened to be there, I also wanted to buy some midnight snacks, but after all the trouble at night, I didn’t eat anything.”
Bai Xiao didn't plan to run too far, she just wanted to buy some food at the convenience store, and Xu Jingyan actually followed her there.
——————————
Considering her pregnancy, Bai Xiao did not dare to eat randomly and only bought a meat bun. Xu Jingyan bought a bucket of instant noodles and when paying, he gave hers as well.
Bai Xiao wanted to return the money to Xu Jingyan, but he didn't accept it: "As an elder, I still have money to treat you to a steamed bun."
"If you really feel embarrassed, then sit here with me, a lonely person, for a while."
Bai Xiao really didn't leave immediately. When she heard Xu Jingyan say this, she felt vaguely unbearable in her heart, so she sat with him in the convenience store eating noodles.
However, her eyes looked towards the inpatient department not far away from time to time.
"Has the wedding gift I sent you arrived?" Xu Jingyan suddenly asked her.
Bai Xiao withdrew her gaze, turned her head, and looked at Xu Jingyan, who was eating noodles with his head down. He didn't look like the elegant violinist on the posters, but just like an ordinary middle-aged man who had stepped down from the altar. She was stunned.
After a while, he said: "Not yet, the express should be on the way."
Xu Jingyan looked up and saw surprise in Bai Xiao's eyes, but he smiled disapprovingly: "Why, violinists can't eat instant noodles?"
"...I didn't mean that."
Next to him, there was a customer carrying a basket, walking over looking left and right, and he was about to bump into Bai Xiao, who had his back turned to him.
Bai Xiao heard the harsh and rapid sound of the whistle, and just as she was about to run away, Xu Jingyan already took her arm and led her to a safe area.
"Be careful!" Xu Jingyan subconsciously reached out and pulled Bai Xiao to avoid the collision of the shopping basket.
There was still a bloody mark on the back of Bai Xiao's hand, which hurt a little. She heard Xu Jingyan's angry scolding: "Didn't you see anyone in front of you?"
The man touched his nose and did not apologize. He muttered: "Young and old couple come out to show off their affection so late at night..."
"What did you say!" Xu Jingyan stood up suddenly, obviously angry, not only because of the man's powerless behavior, but more importantly because of the unpalatable words.
The convenience store was originally small, but a conflict broke out between one party and it soon became the focus of everyone's attention.
Bai Xiao was also embarrassed by those words. She didn't expect that others would look at her and Xu Jingyan like this. Last time it was Mrs. Pei, but this time they were strangers.
The man saw that Xu Jingyan was not dressed like an ordinary person, so he got over it and slipped away. The others also dispersed.
——————————
At the same time, two people about ten meters away from the convenience store saw Xu Jingyan hugging the young girl.
When he saw the young girl turning her face, Hu Yaning was frightened and shouted softly: "Bai Ningxuan?"
Fu Min also saw it, but he was not as excited as Hu Yaning. He even looked at Hu Yaning jokingly: "If you don't do anything bad, what are you afraid of? It's not a ghost."
Hu Yaning calmed down and glared at her sister-in-law who was making sarcastic remarks, "You were also involved in what happened back then, and why are you talking about me?"
"If you want to pursue the case, I will only be an accomplice. That was a good idea, but it was you, Third Sister-in-law, who came up with it."
Some things, more than twenty years have passed, but their traces have never been erased from their hearts. As long as they are mentioned a little bit, they will all remember it.
Hu Yaning curled her lips: "Don't blame everything on me now. Although the idea was mine, the letter was written by you. Those things like 'never show up in front of me again' and 'never love'"
The harsh words I said to you were all thought up by yourself, and I still remember the way Lao Liu read the letter."
"If she, Bai Ningxuan, had not been pure and unfaithful, and after getting together with the sixth brother, she still thought about other men and even gave birth to children. Would the sixth brother be injured in an accident during the performance?" Fu Sen sighed: "Besides, it's the old man.
As you said, Bai Ningxuan is not allowed to get involved with your sixth brother again, as the daughter-in-law, there is nothing we can do about it."
"That's true. Originally, the old man was about to relent, but in the end, he found out that the child was not the sixth child."
"Although Xia Lan has brought up a child, everyone has seen what she has done for the family over the years." Fu Min glanced at the convenience store. Inside, Xu Jingyan had already brought the young girl out. He couldn't help but frowned: "Six
Brother, what does it mean to be like this now?"
After taking a closer look, they found that the girl looked similar to Bai Ningxuan, but she was definitely not Bai Ningxuan. Bai Ningxuan was now in her forties.
Hu Yaning rolled his eyes, "Should you tell Xia Lan, Lao Liu might..."
"Don't talk too much. If you meddle in other people's housework, you won't be able to please me, and you'll get messed up all over."
——————————
Bai Xiao and Xu Jingyan came out of the convenience store. The embarrassment had not completely gone away. She asked to go back to the car to wait for someone, but Xu Jingyan didn't stop her.
Watching Bai Xiao walk to the car, Xu Jingyan did not immediately turn around and go back to the inpatient department.
The depressed mood that was held in the chest miraculously disappeared the moment he saw Bai Xiao, and there was even a touch of relaxation and joy.
This was an emotional change that he had never experienced before. The speed was so fast that he was surprised and at the same time felt it was very subtle. It was like watching his own child grow up.
Xia Lan said that she was an uneducated child, but he didn't think so. Bai Xiao never showed any roughness in her conversation or behavior. She didn't look like a girl from a small place. His heart felt like a warm current.
Because of this unexpected child, he couldn't help but think of Su Manrong's words again.
