It's not that no one knows about her and Pei Qiyou
Faced with Yu Zhanming's doubts, Bai Xiao was speechless, or in other words, she was speechless. Now, whatever she said was just disguised sophistry.
There was silence in the restaurant, and she didn't know where to put her hands under the table.
Suddenly, she understood why Yu Shaoting didn't nod immediately when she proposed to confess the divorce. He might have guessed the impasse at the moment.
Yu Shaoting's hands covered her intertwined hands. At that moment, he was like a lonely boat swaying in the wind and rain, finding a safe and warm harbor.
"That's what I mean. I asked her not to tell you for the time being." Yu Shaoting spoke.
Yu Zhanming's face turned completely dark, he glared at Yu Shaoting, and finally said: "You bastard, I knew you were the one who did it!"
"It's none of his business." Bai Xiao rushed to say, "I didn't make it clear to you..."
I don't know who it was, but suddenly farted loudly, successfully interrupting Bai Xiao's words, and with it, the entire restaurant became silent.
A group of people, you look at me, I look at you, the atmosphere is extremely weird.
Yu Jingxi slid down from the chair, put one hand behind his back to dig at his pants, and scratched the base of his ear with the other hand and rubbed it against Bai Xiao's side, sticking together like a plaster.
If Yu Zhanming was originally angry with Bai Xiao for hiding his marriage, but seeing Yu Jingxi clinging to Bai Xiao so hard, his chest felt uncomfortable. She was the mother of his grandson. Even if they were divorced, she was still the mother of his grandson.
, this is something that cannot be changed, but he still cannot accept the sudden 'truth'.
The most intolerable thing in his life was deception, and as a result, he was forced to be tricked by a girl in her early twenties.
"Dad, things have come to this point..." Yu Zhongxiao interrupted, but just in the middle of his sentence, Yu Zhanming suddenly stared over.
"Have you known this for a long time?"
"..." An upright person will never lie under any circumstances.
Yu Zhongxiao's silence made Yu Zhanming's anger surge up, and the veins on his forehead rioted, and he shouted: "A bunch of bastards!"
"Why are you so fierce... If you have something to say, please say it." Old Mrs. Yu quickly advised her, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Aunt Zhang, who was cleaning up, heard the noise and rushed out of the kitchen: "Madam, what's wrong..."
"The old chief is very angry. There are no lighters at home. Go and buy two." The old lady winked at her, and Aunt Zhang immediately changed her shoes and went out.
Mrs. Yu turned to caress Yu Zhanming's back: "You old man, can't you speak calmly?"
"Be calm? Haven't you heard that one, two, or three of them all know it, and you and I are being treated like monkeys by them?!"
Yu Zhanming's hand touched Bai Xiao, Yu Shaoting, and Yu Zhongxiao. When he finally looked into his grandson's clear big eyes, his anger eased slightly. He turned away his eyes and said with a straight face: "If this continues, the little one will be killed by them sooner or later.
Bring bad luck!"
Mrs. Yu turned her head and looked at Bai Xiao sitting there: "What on earth is going on? Okay, why are you divorced again?"
Bai Xiao was still organizing a verbal answer, but Yu Shaoting had already said first: "Didn't I just say it?"
When he heard his parents ask this topic twice in a row, he showed a little impatience: "I went abroad, she got married and then divorced, so she stayed with me."
"I told you what the hell you have to do!" Yu Zhanming saw his attitude and was extremely displeased. He looked around, took the car key from his second son's hand, and threw it at Yu Shaoting: "Xiao Jing
Not to mention the sneaky things, but now you are stealing from people!"
Based on Yu Zhanming's understanding of his son, he has determined that Yu Shaoting used some means to take Bai Xiao back after returning to China.
Just because his son destroyed other people's families, Yu Zhanming didn't know where to put his face. He took the ashtray on the window sill and smashed it at Yu Shaoting.
"Dad!" Yu Zhongxiao, with quick eyes and quick hands, stopped Yu Zhanming: "Listen to their explanation first, maybe they have some unavoidable reasons."
"My second brother is right. Can you listen to what they say first before deciding whether to take action?" Mrs. Yu took the ashtray from her husband's hand.
"I don't want to hear it!" Yu Zhanming said goodbye with a sullen face.
Yu Shaoting had already pulled Bai Xiao to stand up: "If you don't want to hear it, let's go back first. It just so happens that I don't have anything to say about this matter."
"..." Yu Zhanming immediately turned into a tiger and stared at Yu Shaoting with wide eyes angrily.
Bai Xiao knew that she couldn't really leave like this. She looked at Yu Zhanming: "...Dad, I'm getting divorced and I don't care about Shao Ting's affairs."
Yu Zhanming didn't believe it.
"Before we decided to get together, I had already negotiated a divorce with my...ex-husband." Bai Xiao replaced the word "Pei Qiyou" with "ex-husband".
But Yu Zhanming caught one point: "Doesn't that mean that when he returned to China, you were not divorced yet?"
Bai Xiao couldn't find the words to refute, because that was the truth.
Mrs. Yu glanced at her youngest son and daughter-in-law, and said to help them: "But they also said that they got together after divorce."
"Have they lied to you enough? You are the only one who still believes their words!"
Yu Zhanming snorted coldly. He didn't like it when he saw the couple standing there. But when he saw Yu Jingxi, his face immediately softened, and his tone also softened: "Jingxi, come here, come to grandpa."
"I have to go home and do my homework." Yu Jingxi held Bai Xiao's legs with his small hands, fearing that these two unreliable people would run away accidentally.
"Let's go, it's time to go!" Yu Zhanming saw that his grandson was like this. His heart, which had been strong and strong for decades, suddenly felt a little sour. He pushed his second son away and stopped looking for his old comrade. He went upstairs with a dark face.
In front of me, I couldn't help but look back and glanced at Yu Jingxi again: "Can't you do your homework here?"
Bai Xiao saw Yu Zhanming's intention to keep Yu Jingxi, and gently pushed his son towards the old chief of staff: "Jingxi will stay here to accompany grandpa tonight."
Yu Zhanming glanced at Bai Xiao and snorted from his nostrils, as if to say, do you think you can please me like this?
Yu Jingxi raised his head, glanced at Bai Xiao, thought for a while, felt a little reluctant, but still walked towards Yu Zhanming, grabbed Yu Zhanming's calloused hand with his soft little hands, then turned to Bai Xiao and told Bai Xiao seriously:
"Then remember to pick me up tomorrow morning!"
"If you don't want to sleep here, there's no need to force yourself." Yu Zhanming said angrily, but in his heart, he had no intention of forgiving the third son and his wife.
Bai Xiao smiled lightly at Yu Jingxi: "Okay, I'll pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Jingxi will take good care of grandpa."
Yu Zhanming snorted again, as if he was laughing at Bai Xiao's flattery and slapped Ma's leg, took Yu Jingxi's little hand, ignored them and went upstairs.
…
Just because Yu Zhanming was angry and didn't want to listen to Bai Xiao's explanation didn't mean that others didn't want to understand the rights and wrongs.
The well-behaved daughter-in-law suddenly turned into the divorced woman they said they didn't agree with marrying into the family. Even though Mrs. Yu was usually such an optimistic woman, at this moment, she inevitably felt knotty in her heart. What's more, it was still herself.
The red thread I pulled in the first place!
So, after Yu Zhanming went upstairs, the old lady turned around and said to Bai Xiao with a complicated expression: "Come to the room with me. I have something to ask you."
Bai Xiao nodded, this result was actually beyond her expectation.
Yu Shaoting also wanted to follow, but Mrs. Yu glared at her: "Why are you going? Are you afraid that I will eat your wife?"
When he heard his mother say the word "wife", Yu Shaoting's expression softened and he didn't go there anymore. He waited until his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the room before looking back.
Yu Zhongxiao suddenly said: "Lao San, come out for a moment. I have something to ask you."
——————————
Bai Xiao and Mrs. Yu entered the room. They sat down on the sofa, facing each other, but for a moment, they didn't know how to initiate a conversation.
After a long time, Mrs. Yu sighed: "I didn't expect you... to get married at such a young age."
Otherwise, when he met Bai Xiao in the capital of Xingyu, he would have been suspicious and rushed to introduce her to his youngest son.
"..."
Bai Xiao didn't know where to start, whether she was brought in as a child bride by Pei Jinyuan at the age of four, or whether she married Pei Qiyou when she was eighteen, and gave birth to Jing Xi as a surrogate mother half a year after the Pei family changed hands.
, or tell Mrs. Yu that her ex-husband was her granddaughter’s former fiancé...
These things are like a mess of threads, getting more and more messy the more they are sorted out, and no clue can be found.
"From what I heard from the mistress, why did you get divorced again?" Old Mrs. Yu felt that Bai Xiao didn't look like the kind of woman who couldn't live her life peacefully.
"...He has a girl he likes again," Bai Xiao was quiet for a while before saying, "We agreed to divorce."
She spoke very calmly. Although her nose was sore, she did not show any more emotions in front of Mrs. Yu. In fact, Bai Xiao felt uncomfortable not only because she was betrayed by Pei Qiyou, but also because Mrs. Yu asked
She said this without any reproach, which made her feel ashamed.
Mrs. Yu didn't expect that the truth was exactly as Bai Xiao said. Regardless of the mistress's affairs, it was her ex-husband who wanted a divorce.
Seeing Bai Xiao's expression as usual when talking about that marriage, the old lady felt pity for her even more. If the mistress hadn't gone abroad, she might have entered the Yu family with Jing Xi at that time, so there would be no need to go around in circles.
To suffer these sins?
The old lady suddenly remembered the play she watched yesterday, which was about the white-haired girl and Huang Shiren. It just so happened that Bai Xiao was also named Bai. If you look carefully, Bai Xiao's eyebrows looked very similar to the actress who played the white-haired girl.
As a result, even the resentment towards Bai Xiao just now disappeared.
Taking Bai Xiao's hand, Mrs. Yu sighed and said: "Now that I have followed Lao San, don't think about the past anymore, and live a good life in the future."
The deal was done, and the old lady felt that it was useless to worry about it any more. Besides, Bai Xiao still had the grandson of their Yu family in her belly!
Thinking about the 'twins', she said earnestly: "As for your father, I will advise him that your main task now is to raise good children."
…
Yu Shaoting and Yu Zhongxiao came out of the yard, walked for a while, and stopped in a sparsely populated area.
Obviously, Yu Zhongxiao didn't want others to hear what he wanted to ask.
The sky was getting dark, and Yu Shaoting gave Yu Zhongxiao a cigarette. Yu Zhongxiao shook his head and didn't answer: "I'll quit early." As he said that, he looked at his younger brother: "You should smoke less. It won't do you or the people around you any good.
."
Yu Shaoting held the cigarette in his mouth, took out the lighter and lit it, took a puff, blew out the smoke ring, and held the cigarette between his fingers: "What do you want to ask?"
"You and Bai..." Yu Zhongxiao couldn't find a good name for Bai Xiao. After all, the embarrassment of status meant that their family couldn't get along like other families. "What are your plans in mind? Those
Are you ready for a full showdown with your parents?"
Yu Shaoting raised his head, glanced at his brother, and leaned on the stone next to him: "Xu Zhenning found out that she was married. She was afraid, so she just thought about it and said it."
Yu Zhongxiao knew that she was Bai Xiao.
When Yu Zhongxiao looked at his "cynical" younger brother, it felt like he had gone back more than ten years ago, when he was his high school instructor and took him to a corner to lecture him. As a result, he looked disapproving and even took out a cigarette and asked him to smoke.
If he doesn't smoke, even though his temper has calmed down a lot over the years, he hasn't changed much in his bones.
"You confessed everything so rashly today, aren't you afraid of backfiring yourself?"
Yu Shaoting flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "I only plan to tell you that she is married, and I will keep the rest hidden for now."
Before entering the house just now, he had made an agreement with Bai Xiao that the surrogate part and her ex-husband were Pei Qiyou part, so he would not tell his parents yet.
Everyone, no matter how easy to talk, has his or her own limits. Yu Shaoting knows his parents well. Although the old man has a bad temper, he is still open-minded. The old lady is confused but not stupid. If she exposes everything at once, there will be absolutely no consequences.
It comes so easily now.
"Dad told me that you want to take her and Jing Xi abroad?"
Yu Shaoting did not deny it. When he stayed in Fengcheng, the place was small, and when he met some people, he would look down and not look up, which made him feel uncomfortable...
"It's not like no one knows what happened between her and Pei Qiyou."
Hearing this, Yu Shaoting looked directly at Yu Zhongxiao. When Yu Zhongxiao said this, he was already reminding himself, indicating that at least someone had already talked about the relationship between Bai Xiao and Pei Qiyou with Yu Zhongxiao, but they were worried about the family background of the Yu family.
And because Bai Xiao was very popular with the Yu family, no one dared to talk openly about it.
"You have to control these things yourself." Yu Zhongxiao suggested: "Dad didn't have an attack today because of Jing Xi."
Yu Shaoting himself knew this, otherwise Chief of Staff Yu would have smashed his head in with that ashtray.
Yu Shaoting stood up straight and said, "When the child is born, I will find an opportunity to tell them."
Originally, this was his plan, to wait until the child was born, and then tell everything in full. By then, the rice would have turned into cooking, and he would not look at the face of the monk but also the face of the Buddha. There were several children blocking the way. Even if the parents were angry again, they would not
She will feel soft when she hears the cry of a newborn. However, she did not expect that Xu Zhenning would know something in advance.
"Xu Zhenning knows, Bai Xiao's ex-husband is Pei Qiyou?"
Yu Shaoting nodded: "There is no evidence, but her mother probably doesn't want her to make any more troubles."
No wife who can't lay eggs would want to see her husband take back a daughter born to another woman one day and threaten her status as the wife of the wife.
Through these several interactions with Xia Lan, Yu Shaoting always felt that Xia Lan knew something and seemed to be avoiding something. If he couldn't guess it before, then after Su Manrong told him the truth, he vaguely understood.
Xia Lan probably guessed the relationship between Bai Xiao and Xu Jingyan...
As for why Xia Lan guessed this, Yu Shaoting didn't know.
Yu Zhong didn't quite understand his brother's betrayal. Yu Shaoting smiled half-heartedly, but didn't say any more. He put out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can on the roadside: "Go back."
…
On their way back, the two brothers met Lu Jinsheng who was returning home from get off work. Lu Jinsheng brought a message.
Xu Zhenning had a high fever and fainted in the hotel. She was rushed to the capital for treatment. However, experts conservatively estimated that the leg could not be saved this time.
Yu Zhongxiao frowned, but didn't say much.
"Brothers have made an appointment to have sex tonight. Third brother, you can come too." Lu Jinsheng said to Yu Shaoting through the car window.
Yu Shaoting supported the roof of the car with one hand and straightened up: "We'll talk about it later."
Back at Yu's house, Bai Xiao happened to come out of the room with the old lady. The old lady said, "Go back and rest early."
The door to the study room suddenly opened, and Yu Jingxi ran out with a pencil. When he saw Bai Xiao going downstairs, he hummed coyly: "Are you going home?"
He also wanted to go back together, but Xiaobai said that he should stay here with his grandfather.
The little guy scratched his head and scratched his head. In the study, Yu Zhanming came out and said with a face: "Take the child back with you." After saying that, he turned around and closed the door of the study.
