He couldn't help but think of Su Manrong's words again.
She said: "Didn't you personally take the child's hair for DNA testing? Have you forgotten the results of the identification report?"
No, he has never forgotten that the appraisal report is the scar that cannot be erased in his heart.
At that time, despite the opposition from his family, he did not hesitate to move out of the Xu family and rent a house with her outside in order to be with her.
He had always known that Bai Ningxuan had Yu Zhengdong in her heart, and Yu Zhengdong was 'dead'. He thought that as long as he worked hard, he would always be able to leave a place in her heart, until one day, Yu Zhengdong appeared at the door of their rented home.
Bai Ningxuan hugged Yu Zhengdong and cried heartbrokenly in the room. He, who had never smoked, sat under the eaves and smoked two packs of cigarettes.
There is no more ridiculous joke than a lover who has been missing for more than half a year coming back from the dead.
Xu Jingyan did not take the elevator, but walked in the stairwell, trying to stop himself from thinking about those past events, but the effect was very little.
That day, he had just lit his last cigarette when Yu Zhengdong opened the door and came out. He stood up and heard Yu Zhengdong say: "Jing Yan, I want to take Ning Xuan away."
In the room, Bai Ningxuan's eyes were red and swollen, and she looked at Yu Zhengdong through the door with tears in her eyes.
He saw sadness and apology in her eyes. The day before, they were still discussing the wedding date, but today, she was going to follow another man.
He stood at the door of the room, watching her pack her luggage, watching Yu Zhengdong put on her coat, and watching them walk out of the house together.
But he didn't expect that Bai Ningxuan would appear in front of him again with luggage three days later.
She came back and did not follow Yu Zhengdong. A month later, Bai Ningxuan found out that she was pregnant, but in the days that followed, she never smiled happily again.
At that time, he was young and vigorous, and he was tortured by her indifference and became mentally depressed, and he began to be unwilling to go back to that home to see her.
He didn't know if all her unhappiness was caused by him, and he didn't dare to guess what happened to her and Yu Zhengdong in those three days.
Someone accidentally told him that during those days, Bai Ningxuan and Yu Zhengdong ate and lived together in the guest house.
At that time, he knew better than anything else what this meant.
When the child was born, he said to himself that if the child was his, he would never let her go. If it was... he would let her go.
Sometimes, people always act impulsively. After being separated for several years, in the dead of night, he would ask himself, if he had not taken the child's hair for examination, would they still be together, or...he would also
Will she let her go and find the man she loves deeply?
…
When he went up to the floor where Mr. Xu was, Xu Jingyan put away his messy thoughts and happened to meet Yu Shaoting coming out of the ward.
Yu Shaoting was not a talkative person, but he still said hello to him.
Xu Jingyan nodded and said: "Go down, don't let a little girl wait for you for too long."
Yu Shaoting looked at Xu Jingyan, the expression on his face was a bit unpredictable.
Xu Jingyan smiled and explained: "I just ran into her when I went downstairs to buy things. Why didn't you fill her belly before you brought her over?"
"I'll take her to have a midnight snack later."
Xu Jingyan could tell from Yu Shaoting's words that he cared about Bai Xiao, and his smile became much gentler, "Go then, I'll go in and see my father."
The two of them didn't talk about what Mr. Xu said in the ward just now. One didn't ask, and the other wouldn't take the initiative to talk about it.
——————————
Yu Shaoting went downstairs and walked out of the inpatient department. In the car, Bai Xiao had fallen asleep leaning on the back seat, holding a pillow, sleeping peacefully and simply.
When he got in the car and closed the door, he subconsciously moved lightly.
Staff Officer Xu was in the front. He looked in the rearview mirror at Yu Shaoting, who turned Bai Xiao's head to his shoulder, and said, "The Chief of Staff asked you to stay at home."
Yu Zhanming was allocated a house in the capital, but because the old lady was not used to living in the capital, the whole family did not move here.
Yu Shaoting lowered his head and lowered his eyes, looking at Bai Xiao sleeping soundly. He raised his hand, brushed away a few strands of hair stuck to her lips, and tucked them behind her ears.
"The old man of the Xu family didn't give you any trouble, did he?" Although Staff Officer Xu also has a surname of Xu, he has never been related to the Xu family for eight lifetimes.
Yu Shaoting hummed. Obviously, he didn't want to say more, or in other words, he didn't want to say more in front of Bai Xiao.
Even though, at this time, she looked like she was sound asleep.
If it hadn't been for Bai Xiao, he would most likely have rushed back to Fengcheng after seeing Mr. Xu as soon as dawn tomorrow and had a flight, and would not have stayed here long.
After a while, Yu Shaoting raised his head and asked Staff Officer Xu: "Where can I buy pot stickers around here?"
"..." Staff Officer Xu frowned, "Who is still making pot stickers in the middle of the night?"
——————————
Xu Jingyan entered the ward. His father was in good spirits and had not slept yet. Not long after, Liang Huizhen also came. As soon as he entered, he went straight to the topic.
Mr. Xu had a sullen face, glanced at her, and said, "Don't talk about this anymore. He wants to marry again. Do you, the ex-mother-in-law, still want to stop him?"
"..." This result was definitely beyond Liang Huizhen's expectation.
"I won't say a word about whoever he wants to marry, but what I want is justice. I want him, Yu Shaoting, to give me a reasonable explanation!"
Compared to Liang Huizhen's excitement, Mr. Xu sighed, turned his head and looked at his unwilling eldest daughter-in-law.
"Justice? What if your daughter did something wrong? Do you still want this justice?"
Liang Huizhen was startled, not understanding what her father-in-law said.
Mr. Xu waved his hands, with a look of tiredness on his face: "I'm old and can't stand your troubles. Shuyuan has gone. It's meaningless for you to pursue this and that now. You should go home.
Go to bed and stop thinking about how to get someone to give you an explanation. Just calm down and live a good life."
After walking out of the ward, Liang Huizhen became angrier the more she thought about it: "Dad is old, is he old and confused?"
"Since dad said that, he must have a reason." Xu Jingyan followed the eldest sister-in-law out and gave advice.
"What's the point? Shuyuan is dead, and dad is not even willing to stand up for her now. All he thinks about all day long is the Xu family's fame and fortune."
Xu Jingyan frowned and did not agree with what Liang Huizhen said angrily.
Liang Huizhen sneered, but her eye circles were red: "When Shuyuan was a child, among the children, her father loved her the most. It's really like tea."
After saying that, Liang Huizhen left without looking back.
——————————
Xu Jingyan watched Liang Huizhen enter the elevator, turned around, and planned to go back to the ward, but saw Xia Lan walking over. She was still there and had not left.
"This is the late-night snack that Sister-in-law and the others brought back. I'll get you one." Xia Lan approached and gave him a lunch box.
"I just ate it down there, you can take it back."
Xia Lan opened her mouth and wanted to say something else, but Xu Jingyan spoke first: "I'll stay with dad tonight. You can go back."
The door to the ward was closed, and Xia Lan stood at the door with a bad expression. They had been married for many years and had never blushed like this because of an insignificant person.
Even though Xu Jingyan didn't say a harsh word to her just now, based on her understanding of him, she knew that he was unhappy.
Back in the rest room, Hu Yaning and Fu Min were chatting about beauty. When they learned that Liang Huizhen was gone, they also dusted off their clothes and prepared to go home.
"Lao Liu and his wife, let's go together." Hu Yaning said.
Xia Lan smiled: "It's almost early in the morning now. I have to go to work tomorrow morning, so I can just spend the night here."
After sending away the two sisters-in-law, the smile on Xia Lan's face also faded. She went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she came out, she saw Hu Yaning coming back. The latter glanced at the door and said to her in a low voice.
: "Fu Min asked me not to tell you some things, but I think I still have to let you know."
"What?" Xia Lan looked puzzled. The relationship between their sisters-in-law was not close, but they were still polite.
"Just now downstairs, at the convenience store next to the hospital, Fu Min and I saw Lao Liu holding a young girl in his arms..."
Xia Lan's heart clicked. Although she believed in Xu Jingyan's character, she really couldn't say anything about this kind of thing, but her face was very calm, "Is it a misunderstanding?"
"I originally thought it was a misunderstanding, but when the little girl turned her face, I knew that was not the case."
Hu Yaning looked at Xia Lan sympathetically and said, "Bai Ningxuan, you should know, right?"
"...I know, she used to be my patient." Xia Lan said calmly, but her heart seemed to be in a turmoil and she could no longer calm down.
Over the years, Bai Ningxuan has been a taboo topic in the Xu family, but she has never concealed her acquaintance with Bai Ningxuan. When she first revealed that she was the doctor responsible for delivering Bai Ningxuan, the Xu family had different expressions, so they were
She felt a little more sad, and her sister-in-law no longer rejected her as much as she did at first.
Maybe, I think she is also a pitiful person.
"That little girl, at first glance, looks so much like Bai Ningxuan." Hu Yaning pulled Xia Lan and said, "Sister-in-law three can only help you get here."
Hu Yaning had already left, and Xia Lan stood by the window, as if Hu Yaning's words were still in her ears.
"Don't blame Sister-in-law for being troublesome. This man, when he reaches a certain age, can't bear loneliness and wants to try new things. Jingming thought I didn't know. He also had one when he was in Shenzhen, but the most important thing is to know his mistakes and
Gai, you and Lao Liu have been together for so many years, and everyone has seen your difficulties."
Xia Lan's temples hurt. She thought of many things, then took her bag and hurriedly left the rest room.
——————————
As soon as he got home, Xia Lan went to the study and found the stack of photos from the drawer, which were taken by Xu Jingyan during the C City event.
She took the big group photo.
Xu Zhenning had a cold these days and was low on energy. When Xia Lan woke her up, she rubbed her eyes and sat up: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Xia Lan handed the photo to her, pointed at the girl in the photo, and asked her daughter: "Do you recognize her?"
"Bai Xiao?" Xu Zhenning lost her sleepiness and raised her head, "Mom, what are you asking her for?"
"Her surname is Bai?"
Xu Zhenning nodded, looked at Bai Xiao in the photo, and sneered: "You don't know, she is the third party who ruined cousin Shuyuan's marriage."
"..."
Xia Lan's face turned ugly: "Why is she in City C? How did she meet your father?"
"It seems that I temporarily brought a student from the Art Center to participate in the event. Dad will know her because..." Xu Zhenning did not continue. She was hostile to Bai Xiao. When she heard that Xia Lan wanted Bai Xiao's information, she got up
I turned on my computer and showed it to Xia Lan.
Xia Lan didn't know how she got out of her daughter's room. There were too many coincidences put together. The girl, whose surname was Bai, was born in Liyang and had no parents since she was a child... Thinking of the dispute that Xu Jingyan had with him because of Bai Xiao just now, she thought of that
One year she secretly changed Xu Jingyan's hair samples for DNA testing.
She held her hand against the wall and recalled the blind man's heartfelt words again: "There is always a time in life, never force it..."
——————————
Early the next morning, Bai Xiao was awakened by military bugles.
She turned around, only to find that she was being hugged and unable to move. She turned her head and saw Yu Shaoting's face sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
The unfamiliar room didn't look like a hotel. Listening to the loud bugle, she probably knew where she was.
Yu Shaoting didn't wear any clothes when sleeping. His shoulders were bare under the quilt, and his trousers and shirt were thrown at the bottom. Bai Xiao's body was not much better. He took off his coat, leaving a T-shirt on top. The following words
, just like him, wearing only white underwear, one of his long legs was placed in the middle of her legs...
Bai Xiao opened his arm. He was sleeping deeply and did not wake up. She got up, got dressed, washed and walked out of the bedroom.
She fell asleep in the car last night and didn't even know how she got here.
After going downstairs, Bai Xiao saw the orderly cleaning the yard. She was a little hungry and found a pot sticker on the dining table. It was already cold. She was thinking about going to the kitchen to make something to eat. Over there, she came back from morning exercise.
Yu Zhanming happened to enter the room, the two of them got together, and Bai Xiao called the other person "chief".
Although Bai Xiao has registered her marriage to Yu Shaoting, Yu Zhanming still has a grudge against his daughter-in-law every time he thinks about his eldest son.
When he heard Bai Xiao calling him, Yu Zhanming hummed with a straight face and went upstairs to change clothes.
Bai Xiao didn't know if Yu Zhanming had eaten breakfast, and she didn't dare to ask him. She got the ingredients for three people, but considering that Yu Shaoting was still sleeping, she cooked enough for two people and waited for her to go out with the noodles.
, Yu Zhanming also changed into his military uniform and came downstairs. He smelled the aroma of pasta and couldn't help but take a look at the restaurant.
The nanny at home has gone out to buy groceries and is not here at the moment.
"Do you want to eat?" Bai Xiao asked, a bit flattering. After all, this is the father of the man she loves.
Yu Zhanming just had breakfast at his old comrade's house during morning training. The nanny at home was not a good cook. He had long been tired of eating breakfast every day for ten years. But smelling the aroma of the noodle soup and looking at the bowl of crispy fish noodles, he still left.
Bai Xiao walked over and pulled out a chair. He looked at her and sat down.
Bai Xiao went to the kitchen and poured a dish of vinegar. She accidentally heard Mrs. Yu say that the old leader had a weird habit of eating noodles and liked to dip them in vinegar.
"Where are the three old people?" Yu Zhanming asked first.
Bai Xiao put the vinegar plate next to him and said, "He is still sleeping. Maybe he was too tired last night."
"Lazy is just lazy, why are you looking for an excuse?" Yu Zhanming snorted twice and squinted at Bai Xiao: "He is my son, I know what kind of virtue he is."
"..."
Yu Zhanming slurped down two mouthfuls of noodles. Suddenly, he raised his head, stared at Bai Xiao's belly, and asked her: "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was referring to, and quickly said: "It's only been a few weeks now, and we still can't tell the gender of the child. Moreover, most hospitals don't tell them, for fear that some families who favor boys over girls might know it's a girl."
Then, abort the child."
The corner of Yu Zhanming's mouth twitched, but when he looked at Bai Xiao's still flat belly, his expression softened. He was not in the country when Jing Xi was born, and as a grandfather, he didn't even hold the child a few times. When he thought about it,
He said: "I heard from Huizhi that you plan to settle abroad?"
Bai Xiao didn't know whether Yu Shaoting meant to settle down or stay for a few years.
Seeing that she was silent, Yu Zhanming said while stirring up the conversation: "Now that the international situation is so chaotic, it is safer to stay at home. As a family member of a soldier, I think about becoming a citizen of another country all day long, and I still look proud of it.
When the time comes, if someone is kidnapped or something, don’t expect me to be shy and rescue you.”
"..." Bai Xiao didn't expect Yu Zhanming to be so indignant.
Yu Zhanming glanced at her: "What are your plans after giving birth to a child?"
Bai Xiao said she wanted to continue schooling, and Yu Zhanming also agreed with her approach: "It's good to learn more while you're young. After you finish confinement, I'll help you contact a better school in the capital.
There are several universities, including Fengcheng. If you have something you like, you can tell me."
