Xu Zhenning saw Bai Xiao frowning, raised her eyebrows slightly, looked past Bai Xiao, and smiled: "Aunt Hui, I will do it myself."
After saying that, he stood up and walked past Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao turned back and saw Mrs. Yu bringing out a glass of water.
When Mrs. Yu saw Bai Xiao and Xu Zhenning being so eager, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "Xiao Xiao, are you here? Just wait for me for a while, and I'll go change my clothes."
"Aunt Hui is going out? Will I disturb you if I come here now?"
"No," Mrs. Yu smiled, "I just made an appointment with Xiaoxiao to go for beauty care. It doesn't matter if it's late."
Xu Zhenning was wearing a military uniform and had short hair. She looked fresh and bright. After hearing what Mrs. Yu said, she had no intention of leaving.
Mrs. Yu vaguely knew that Xu Zhenning coveted her youngest son. Over the years, although Yu Shaoting didn't say it, there was a lot of gossip. Moreover, Xu Zhenning never concealed it. At this moment, the youngest daughter-in-law and the younger son's secret admirer met. The old lady
It was really a bit difficult for her, as an elder, it was not easy for her to kick out the juniors who came to visit her.
The people living around here are all reputable people in the army.
Even if you don’t look at the monk’s face, you have to look at the Buddha’s face.
Bai Xiao also understood the stakes involved, and she would not blame Yu's mother for this, saying, "If it is inconvenient today, you can go tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Yu was pleased with her daughter-in-law's knowledge. On the other hand, she felt sorry for Bai Xiao, so she asked Bai Xiao to go upstairs with her to get some tea. Yu Jiaming and Qian Yue brought them back from a trip to Yunnan a few days ago.
Yes, after entering the bedroom, the old lady grabbed Bai Xiao's hand to show her stance.
"I really didn't know she would come over suddenly, Xiaoxiao, don't take it to heart, Xiaosan has nothing to do with her."
"I know." Bai Xiao took two boxes of tea and was quite curious about Xu Zhenning wearing that military uniform.
The old lady sighed: "I don't know how it happened. She has now joined the art troupe of the army in Fengcheng. She is here to officially report today."
The only thing Bai Xiao can think of is one word - lingering ghosts.
——————————
Bai Xiao and Mrs. Yu came down from upstairs, and Xu Zhenning also got up from the sofa: "Aunt Hui, I have a friend who opened a beauty salon here. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let's go to her place together. I heard that she recently
We have introduced several sets of Japanese beauty tools, and by chance, you can go over and try them out.”
"..." Mrs. Yu glanced at Bai Xiao beside her, and she really couldn't stand Xu Zhenning's attentiveness.
Bai Xiao was very calm, holding Mrs. Yu's hand: "In this case, mom, you can go."
When Xu Zhenning heard Bai Xiao calling "Mom", her expression suddenly changed. Although she quickly covered her up, she still felt uncomfortable.
Mrs. Yu was still hesitating, but Bai Xiao had already gone downstairs, walked to Xu Zhenning, and smiled: "You don't mind, can you take me with you?"
Bai Xiao's temperament is soft, but it does not mean that she has no temper. She has made certain concessions to her man when she encounters snooping, but if the other party still provokes her again and again, Bai Xiao feels that there is no need for her.
Being patient will only allow the other party to take advantage of you.
Xu Zhenning didn't want to take Bai Xiao with her, but she couldn't say it clearly. She reluctantly twitched her lips and said, "Of course you can if you want to go."
"That's no problem." Bai Xiao said.
Xu Zhenning: "..."
——————————
Xu Zhenning looked unhappy along the way, but Bai Xiao pretended not to notice and focused on chatting with Mrs. Yu.
It makes Xu Zhenning look like the driver driving for them.
When they arrived at the beauty salon, Bai Xiao sat aside with a magazine and waited for Mrs. Yu. She did not do any beauty treatments herself.
She is pregnant now and doesn't dare to make fun of her child. No one can guarantee whether there are any chemical ingredients in those so-called pure natural skin care products.
Mrs. Yu and Xu Zhenning changed their bath towels and came out. Bai Xiao raised his head, looked at the old lady's face, and smiled: "Mom, your skin has been very good recently."
"Really?" Besides her son, what the old lady values most is her own face.
After being praised by Bai Xiao, Mrs. Yu raised her head and looked in the mirror: "Maybe I went to bed early recently, and the skin care products you brought me last time were also very effective."
"Then next time He Huan goes on a business trip, I'll ask her to bring another set."
Xu Zhenning looked coldly at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were talking, and couldn't help clenching her hands. She was not stupid, and she also saw that she couldn't get into their conversation at all.
When she was changing clothes inside just now, the old lady was more than polite to her, but not affectionate at all. Compared to before, she seemed to be avoiding something. She originally thought that Mrs. Yu would be dissatisfied with Bai Xiao, her daughter-in-law, but now she heard them
This conversation was very harmonious...
When Xu Zhenning was lying there, she was in an extremely bad mood, especially when the sounds of Bai Xiao and Mrs. Yu talking could be heard in her ears.
In the end, Xu Zhenning couldn't hold her breath any longer, so she pushed the beautician's hand away: "I'm going to the bathroom."
When Xu Zhenning left the room, Bai Xiao no longer chatted with Mrs. Yu as enthusiastically as before, and leaned on the sofa. Of course, Mrs. Yu also saw that her daughter-in-law was deliberately provoking Xu Zhenning and was not trying to help. On the contrary,
They were also very cooperative and wanted to take the opportunity to dispel Xu Zhenning's thoughts and give up her intention to return to the capital as soon as possible.
In the eyes of the old lady, Xu Zhenning is an outsider. As long as her daughter-in-law doesn't quarrel with her son after she returns, she can do whatever she wants now.
Mrs. Yu thought of something and asked Bai Xiao: "Is your friend named He Huan married?"
"……No."
"So you have a boyfriend?" The old lady turned her head and the beautician hurriedly said: "You can't move now."
Bai Xiao watched Mrs. Yu turn around and thought about He Huan's recent situation. It seemed that she no longer got together with those 'old men'.
"No." Bai Xiao said, "She is busy with work these days."
"Then let's make an appointment to have tea together next time." Mrs. Yu rolled her eyes and glanced at Bai Xiao: "You also know that your second brother is quite old..."
Bai Xiao smiled. The old lady was worried about her two sons and nodded: "Okay, I'll call and ask when she is free."
——————————
Xu Zhenning came out of the room and took off the mask on her face as soon as she got to the bathroom. She felt as uncomfortable as if she had been overturned.
Jin Yue, the owner of the beauty salon and Xu Zhenning's friend, happened to be passing by. Seeing Xu Zhenning's angry face, she walked in and said, "Who messed with our Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhenning glanced at her with a very bad expression: "Who else could it be?"
Jin Yue nodded matter-of-factly. The fact that Xu Zhenning likes Yu Shaoting has long been a secret among their circle of friends. She has been in Fengcheng all year round and knows some things about Yu Shaoting, including recently, everyone in the circle is talking about Yu Shaoting.
I remarried to an extremely ordinary girl.
"To be honest, I didn't expect Yu Shaoting to marry such a young man back home."
Seeing that Xu Zhenning's face turned even worse, Jin Yue said hurriedly: "I didn't mean to say you were older, but Yu Shaoting's choice was a bit unexpected."
Over the years, Xu Zhenning's devotion to Yu Shaoting has been obvious to everyone. The Jin family is also a famous family. After Xu Zhenning came to the Xu family, the two became friends since junior high school. She knew very early that Xu Zhenning liked Yu Shaoting. There used to be a person between them.
Xu Shuyuan, so she could only suppress this feeling.
Xu Shuyuan died six years ago. I thought I had made it through, but I didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway.
"I don't know what he thinks." Xu Zhenning looked at herself in the mirror. She was beautiful and touching, but she didn't like her sweetheart in the slightest.
She considered herself to be as good-looking as Bai Xiao, but Yu Shaoting chose Bai Xiao. This was something she couldn't understand, and she was not reconciled to it.
"This man loves to play. Maybe it's fresh now, and when the shelf life expires, he will just throw it away somewhere."
Jin Yue's words softened Xu Zhenning's expression, and she muttered: "He is not this kind of person."
"You said you have been with him abroad for so many years, but why haven't you accomplished anything?" Jin Yue sighed, pinching her friend's cheek: "Look, he is so thin and tender. If I were Yu Shaoting, I would have pounced on him a long time ago.
Eat you dry and wipe you clean, tsk tsk, what a beauty, you are so beautiful..."
Xu Zhenning smiled, rolled her eyes, and pushed away her random hands: "You're not serious!"
Although she said this, her heart felt as sweet as honey. After all, women like to be praised for their beauty.
"By the way, I also heard that that woman was a violin teacher."
Xu Zhenning nodded: "I know this. I saw it at an event in City C last time."
Jin Yue looked at her friend meaningfully and said, "Don't you think it's a coincidence? Your cousin is a violinist, and she can also play the violin."
"..."
Xu Zhenning frowned, her eyes flickered, and Jin Yue put her hand on her friend's shoulder: "Actually, there are still many good men in this world, so why would you hang yourself on a tree? When you went to Las Vegas, then
Who is following me like a follower..."
"Jin Yue, if you keep making jokes like this, we won't even be friends." Xu Zhenning said with a cold face.
Jin Yue also knew that Xu Zhenning would not tolerate any jokes as long as the topic of Yu Shaoting was involved.
"Okay...don't tell me, you have liked Yu Shaoting for more than ten years and have waited for him for almost six years. You can't let him go, and you are not willing to give him to others. If you don't tie him to you, I'm afraid you will
I will never be convinced in this life, but as a friend, I still have to give you one more advice."
Jin Yue said: "If he really plans to live a good life with that woman, you should let it go. A woman's life is so short and she cannot afford to wait."
——————————
The two came out of the bathroom. Jin Yue patted her friend's back: "I still have something to do. I'll call you later."
Xu Zhenning was not in a good mood, so she hummed, and when Jin Yue left with the documents, she turned around and went back to the room. She had been out for too long.
Out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure at the corner, flashing past her sight.
Xu Zhenning's expression changed drastically, and she quickly chased after him, but there was no one around the corner. A waiter passed by, and she stopped him: "Have you got a customer here today?"
Xu Zhenning explained her appearance and so on. The waiter looked confused and had no choice. Xu Zhenning waved her hand and asked her to leave.
Her heartbeat was pounding and her brows were furrowed. It was impossible to misread her. Even though so many years had passed, she could still recognize it at a glance...
Xu Zhenning walked to the room absentmindedly, but saw Bai Xiao at the door who was on the phone.
At the urging of Mrs. Yu, Bai Xiao came out to call He Huan. He Huan on the other end, when he learned that Mrs. Yu wanted to invite her to tea, refused immediately without any room for negotiation. Then, Bai Xiao
He looked up and saw Xu Zhenning coming back, and the smile on his lips also faded.
The so-called rivals in love are extremely jealous when they meet, this is the scene they are talking about.
"For now, I'll hang up." Bai Xiao put away her phone and wanted to go into the room, but Xu Zhenning called out to her.
Bai Xiao can probably guess what Xu Zhenning wants to say. For Yu Shaoting, this suitor has been begging for so many years to no avail, so it is natural to resent her.
"What do you want to say this time?" Bai Xiao didn't give in to her.
Xu Zhenning's expression froze. In her eyes, such Bai Xiao was too arrogant, and this arrogance was just because Yu Shaoting liked her now.
"I underestimated you before, but I didn't expect that Jing Xi was actually your child." Xu Zhenning looked Bai Xiao up and down.
That look was like looking at a cheap item on a roadside stall.
Bai Xiao was not embarrassed, but Xu Zhenning's eyes were full of sarcasm: "You have been gone for so many years, do you also feel that you are sorry for my cousin?"
"..."
"The country's system is really imperfect. Why don't those mistresses who destroy other people's families be punished by law?"
Xu Zhenning said, walking past Bai Xiao, and deliberately bumped Bai Xiao with her shoulder.
Bai Xiao held on to the wall beside her in time, and became angry because of Xu Zhenning's words. She turned around, looked at Xu Zhenning who was about to open the door, and said: "Before you say this, you should look in the mirror and reflect on yourself. Or, you
Have you always been so strict with others and tolerant of yourself when dealing with others?"
Xu Zhenning frowned, her voice filled with anger: "What do you mean?"
"I have already obtained a marriage certificate with Yu Shaoting. Isn't what you are doing now what you call San'er?"
Bai Xiao actually didn't want to have more verbal arguments with her: "I don't feel sorry for your cousin. She has passed away, and I don't want to say anything to insult her. But there is one thing I hope you will remember clearly. Yu Shaoting is now
He is my husband, my man, and no one is allowed to get involved."
"Your man?" Xu Zhenning sneered: "Do you think that by giving him a son, you can completely own him?"
Bai Xiao nodded with a calm expression: "You are right. At the very least, he is willing to have a son with me."
"..." Xu Zhenning was very angry. Bai Xiao's words, which were neither salty nor bland, mocked her for not trying to draw water from a bamboo basket for so many years!
Xu Zhenning was extremely angry and laughed back: "Don't you think that you are somewhat similar to my cousin Shuyuan?"
"do not think so."
Bai Xiao could even guess what Xu Zhenning was going to say next, so she interrupted Xu Zhenning abruptly: "This trick won't work with me."
"You——" Xu Zhenning felt that she had never seen such a shameless woman!
"Is it interesting for you to deceive yourself like this?!"
Bai Xiao pursed her lower lip: "It doesn't matter if you say I'm deceiving myself or feeling good about myself. You are my husband's suitor. I'm not that stupid yet. I'll tell you the truth. In ten sentences, what you said is...
I would not believe these eight sentences unless Yu Shaoting told me himself that he only used me as a substitute."
Watching Bai Xiao push open the door and go in, Xu Zhenning's temples were pounding and she was gritting her teeth, but she couldn't find anywhere to vent her anger.
——————————
Bai Xiao leaned against the door of her room, covering her heart with one hand. This was the first time she had been so aggressive.
In other words, she didn't know that she was still so eloquent.
Xu Zhenning was right about one thing. She dared to stand up so hard to fight against Xu Zhenning because Yu Shaoting liked her.
In Bai Xiao's heart, he couldn't help but blame Yu Shaoting. It's okay. Why provoke such a difficult woman?!
Mrs. Yu had already made a facial mask and was applying it on her back with her eyes closed. Not long after, Xu Zhenning also came in. She had a dark face, as if someone owed her millions. Even the beautician did not dare to ask her to lie down.
Next, Xu Zhenning didn't want to do any more facial masks, so she went in and changed her clothes and came out.
Bai Xiao sat aside and looked through an entertainment magazine with Xu Zhenning, not bothering to pretend to be nice.
Old Mrs. Yu noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and saw that her daughter-in-law was not at a disadvantage, so she simply turned a blind eye and enjoyed the masseur's good techniques.
It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning when I left the beauty salon.
Old Mrs. Yu proposed to go to Yufulou for dinner. Xu Zhenning looked at Bai Xiao, who had fair facial features and a dull expression, and agreed to take a breath.
When ordering, as the host, Mrs. Yu asked Xu Zhenning to order first.
"I can eat any dish." Xu Zhenning smiled at Mrs. Yu and handed the menu back: "Just order it."
As a result, Mrs. Yu turned around and gave the menu to Bai Xiao, making Xu Zhenning's smile a little unbearable.
Bai Xiao used to work at Pei's. She often accompanied customers to Yufulou for dinner. She was very skillful in ordering dishes. She basically didn't need to look at the menu. She knew she was a regular customer at a glance. The waiter was also very friendly towards her. Xu Zhenning drank her glutinous rice.
Tea, however, is full of bitterness and cannot extinguish the anger in my heart.
"Two more dishes are to be added, Celery and Cashew Nut Shrimp and Sparkling Lotus Root Pork Ribs Soup." Mrs. Yu added.
Bai Xiao looked at the menu, and she had already ordered a soup. Unexpectedly, the old lady insisted: "I checked these two dishes online, and they are just right to eat during pregnancy."
Xu Zhenning suddenly raised her head and looked at Bai Xiao opposite her in disbelief, her face turning red and white.
Mrs. Yu said to Xu Zhenning: "Zhenning, don't you think so? After you have a child, you should pay more attention to your diet and consider the baby."
"..." Xu Zhenning never expected that Bai Xiao would have another baby.
Hearing Mrs. Yu's concern for Bai Xiao, Xu Zhenning clenched her hands tightly under the table. She had no appetite for another meal.
While the food was being served, Bai Xiao's cell phone rang.
Bai Xiao was pregnant. In order to reduce radiation, she put her mobile phone in Mrs. Yu's bag.
The old lady took it out, looked at the caller ID, and said to Xu Zhenning with a smile: "This young couple couldn't be separated for a long time. No, they called again. I don't know, I thought I, the mother, abducted him."
daughter in law."
Xu Zhenning twitched her lips without saying a word, regretting in her heart that she shouldn't have followed this unpleasant meal.
"I'll go out and answer the phone." Bai Xiao took the phone, got up and went outside the box.
————————————
After walking outside, Bai Xiao asked the man on the other end: "Have you had lunch?"
"...I was just eating."
Bai Xiao could tell that there was a bit of noise around him, and as soon as he finished speaking, she heard someone say "Please come this way": "Are you having fun?"
Yu Shaoting did not deny it, but Bai Xiao couldn't help but tell him: "Drink less."
He chuckled softly and asked her who she was having dinner with. Bai Xiao answered truthfully and told him that Xu Zhenning was also there.
Yu Shaoting disagreed and did not take Xu Zhenning to heart at all, "If you are tired, tell mom to go back early."
Bai Xiao listened to his low and gentle voice, curling her lips, feeling very sweet and reassuring. She was about to say that he should not work too hard, but over there, the box door opened, and Xu Zhenning came out with a cold face and a white smile.
Xiao glanced at it and went straight to the bathroom next to it.
Before Xu Zhenning entered the bathroom, she heard Bai Xiao whispering softly: "Okay, I'm going in, you go back to eat."
In the faucet, there was a gurgling sound. Xu Zhenning took out the lipstick, traced the lip line with an expressionless face, and suddenly threw the lipstick at the mirror.
The lipstick broke into two pieces, leaving a dazzling red mark on the mirror.
When Xu Zhenning returned to the box, Bai Xiao was already sitting there. Hearing the noise, he raised his head and glanced at her, his eyes calm.
"The desserts have just arrived, Zhen Ning, come and have some." Old Mrs. Yu gave Xu Zhen Ning a portion of Yang Zhi Nectar.
Xu Zhenning took it, but didn't move a spoon. Her heart was churning violently.
After dinner, Xu Zhenning offered to leave, but Mrs. Yu persuaded her to stay: "Why are you leaving so suddenly? Didn't you say that everyone is free today?"
"...Jin Yue just said that she found an apartment for me, and I plan to go there and have a look."
"You're not in a hurry, we have nothing to do. Let's go shopping together." Mrs. Yu took Xu Zhenning's hand and patted it gently: "That's it."
As for Bai Xiao, standing next to Mrs. Yu, she didn't say a word from beginning to end.
So, a group of three people took Xu Zhenning's newly bought car and went to a nearby shopping mall to do what Mrs. Yu called "shopping."
——————————
In the mall.
Standing in the maternal and infant area, Xu Zhenning looked at the baby supplies in front of her and felt like she was going crazy.
Mrs. Yu was looking at a picture of a baby. She was very interested in listening to the shopping guide's introduction, and suddenly turned around to ask Xu Zhenning's opinion.
Xu Zhenning smiled: "It's pretty good."
"Xiao Xiao, what do you think?" Mrs. Yu asked Bai Xiao, who was looking at the bottle.
Bai Xiao loves these little things from the bottom of her heart, but feels that it is still too early to buy them now. But Mrs. Yu went straight here as soon as she arrived at the mall. Obviously, as an expectant grandmother, she missed the birth of her first grandson.
, this time, Mrs. Yu’s expectations for her child are no less than Bai Xiao’s.
"Why don't you take a look at this car? It's just right for twins." The shopping guide tirelessly introduced it.
Mrs. Yu was very happy: "How did you know that my daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins?"
The shopping guide immediately told Bai Xiao that generations of people in his family have been fortune tellers, and with Bai Xiao's face and belly, there must be two babies. These words coaxed Mrs. Yu into silence, and she immediately asked the shopping guide to take her there.
See babies suitable for twins*.
"Your daughter-in-law is so beautiful, and the children she will give birth to will definitely be great."
Xu Zhenning couldn't stand listening anymore, so she excused herself to make a phone call and walked away from the maternal and infant area. Just as she stood at the railing to get some air, her face suddenly changed drastically.
If being in the beauty salon just now was her hallucination, then now, she really saw that person!
Bai Ningxuan, she was called Aunt Xuan when she was a child...
Xu Zhenning ran over quickly, but did not dare to get too close. When she was still a few steps away from the underwear counter, she stood behind the fitting room. Inside, Bai Ningxuan was holding a set of pajamas and comparing them to a girl in her early twenties.
Being so close, Xu Zhenning became even more sure that she had not admitted her mistake.
She heard the girl say displeasedly: "I said this suit doesn't look good, Mom, why do you still want to buy it?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy pajamas?" Bai Ningxuan's face also looked bad. "One moment you said you wanted to have a beauty treatment, and the next you said you wanted to buy clothes. Yu Yiwei, what exactly do you want? Even a mother like me can't guess. I can't see it.
