Are you still lying to me? Bai Xiao is my daughter
When Bai Xiao woke up in the morning, he learned that Yu Zhanming had not returned to the capital yet. Thinking of the "unhappy breakup" last night, he thought about it and went to the compound.
When passing by the flower and bird market, Bai Xiao went inside and moved a pot of clivia.
Before she went out, she specifically asked Aunt Li what Chief of Staff Yu liked, and Aunt Li's answer was 'Clivia'.
When Bai Xiao arrived, Mrs. Yu was playing with her new pots of roses in the yard. Bai Xiao called the old lady: "Mom."
"Coming?" Mrs. Yu put down the scissors in her hand.
Seeing Bai Xiao bringing a pot of clivia, the old lady hurriedly came to pick it up, fearing that she would be tired and asked: "Come here, why did you buy this?"
Bai Xiao pursed her lips and smiled, then glanced into the room: "Dad...is he here?"
"I'm reading the newspaper inside." Old Mrs. Yu wiped her hands and called Bai Xiao into the room, "Has Shaoting gone to work?"
"Well, his company has been quite busy these two days."
After entering the house and changing into slippers, Bai Xiao saw Yu Zhanming in the living room, sitting on the sofa, wearing reading glasses and reading a newspaper.
"Dad." Bai Xiao walked over, carrying her bag, and called softly.
Yu Zhanming was reading the newspaper by himself, not even sharing the corner of his eye with her, and sat there motionless.
"My daughter-in-law is calling you!" Mrs. Yu sat down next to her husband, pulled Yu Zhanming from behind, and whispered vaguely: "What I said last night was in vain, right?"
Seeing that Chief of Staff Yu was not squinting, Mrs. Yu grabbed the newspaper directly: "Yu Zhanming, did you listen to me?!"
Yu Zhanming raised his head, glanced at Bai Xiao indifferently, stopped asking for the newspaper, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and went upstairs.
"Don't worry, your dad has such a temper, it will be over if you just play around." Old Mrs. Yu comforted Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao twitched the corners of her lips, but she actually knew in her heart that if it were her, she would probably be angry now when she found out that she had been cheated.
…
Bai Xiao stayed in the compound all morning and didn't leave.
Mrs. Yu went upstairs and knocked on the door of the study. Yu Zhanming asked her to come in. She opened the door and saw him leave the window and return to the chair.
"You won't be bored if you stay here for half a day."
"I'm happy to." Yu Zhanming refuted his wife's words with a straight face.
Old Mrs. Yu choked. She had already talked to him a lot last night, but this smelly old man just didn't understand: "If you do this, sooner or later you will force them away."
Yu Zhanming didn't say anything and deliberately turned the copybook loudly.
"Let's go downstairs and eat."
"Don't eat." Yu Zhanming picked up the brush and began to practice calligraphy in a formal manner.
As soon as the tip of the pen touched the inkstone, the brush was snatched away by Mrs. Yu: "Just pretend, you haven't even sharpened the ink, so why are you writing!"
Yu Zhanming couldn't wipe it off his face, and he didn't want to go down to eat like this. He heard Mrs. Yu say: "I bought you flowers again, and stayed here to work hard all morning. Yu Zhanming, what else do you want? Aren't you just married once?
Isn’t it true? Your son’s wife also died..."
"If you weren't so confused, why would you be like this now?" Yu Zhanming's anger also burned into his wife.
Mrs. Yu curled her lips, a little angry at being scolded by him, "Yu Zhanming, it's up to you whether you like to eat or not." After saying that, she went out.
Through the door, Yu Zhanming could still hear her startled voice: "Mom can just take care of the dishes. Go and sit down..."
——————————
Bai Xiao came out of the kitchen with a plate of green pepper and potato shreds. He only saw Mrs. Yu coming downstairs. She couldn't help but look at the study on the second floor: "Where's Dad?"
"Don't worry about him, let's eat first."
During the meal, Mrs. Yu noticed that some of the dishes tasted different. Aunt Zhang brought out a bowl of soup and said with a smile, "These are all made by the third young lady."
"Can you cook?" Mrs. Yu looked at Bai Xiao in surprise, which was somewhat beyond her expectation.
Not to mention Xu Shuyuan and the second wife's ex-wife, even Su Manrong is not very proficient in cooking. In Mrs. Yu's opinion, nine out of ten young girls today can't cook, and few are like this.
Not squeamish and willing to cook by yourself.
"Mom, please eat more." Bai Xiao picked up vegetables for the old lady. The old lady was frightened and said, "Next time, just let Aunt Zhang do it."
Bai Xiao smiled: "It doesn't matter, I like cooking."
Old Mrs. Yu looked at her clean and young face, eating vegetables, and thought to herself, actually being divorced is nothing... the most important thing is that she is a good person.
…
After dinner, the landline rang. Mrs. Yu went over and said a few words to the phone, asking Bai Xiao, who was helping Aunt Zhang to clean the table, to answer: "Shao Ting's call."
Bai Xiao forgot to bring her mobile phone when she went out in the morning, but she didn't expect him to call here.
"Hello." Bai Xiao held the microphone, blushed slightly, and turned around.
"How not to answer the phone?"
"I came out in such a hurry that I forgot to bring my mobile phone." Bai Xiao paused and asked him, "Have you eaten?"
"I just finished eating," Yu Shaoting's voice was a little low, "Why did you suddenly think of running there?"
"I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I came over."
"Is the old man still here?" he asked.
Bai Xiao hummed and glanced at the second floor: "Your dad seems to be still angry with me. He didn't even come down for lunch."
Yu Shaoting asked her to ignore Yu Zhanming and go home first, but Bai Xiao didn't want to just leave. If you care about someone, you will naturally care about his family. She didn't want to see that Yu Shaoting's relationship with his family became bad because of her.
It's one thing for Yu Zhanming to be angry, but it's another thing for her not to try to make improvements.
Yu Shaoting was silent for a while on the other end. The only sound was his slight breathing. After a long time, he said: "If you are tired, go back early."
——————————
Yu Zhanming is not taking Qiao, he is really angry.
He was an upright man throughout his military life, but he gave birth to a deviant son. The incident involving Xu Shuyuan often embarrassed him in front of the Xu family.
Bai Xiao's identity has always been a thorn in his heart. He tried to accept this little daughter-in-law, but it was revealed that she was actually married.
Hearing the conversation between his wife and Bai Xiao downstairs, Yu Zhanming seemed to be obsessed with them, but refused to go down to eat until his stomach started singing about the empty city plan.
In the past, Yu Zhanming had not allowed his wife to place food in the study room, but now he regretted it. After searching for a long time, he only found one toffee for him.
This candy was accidentally dropped by Yu Jingxi under the sofa last night.
Yu Zhanming was lying on the ground, his hands were busy, his ear was pressed against the sofa, and it took him a long time to get it, but even if he was full of candy, there was no sound of conversation downstairs.
He sat for a while longer before he opened the door and went downstairs with confidence.
It was very quiet downstairs. He walked for a while and didn't see his wife and Bai Xiao. He guessed that the two of them had gone out.
A cold snort came from his nose. Yu Zhanming thought that children nowadays don't even have the patience to pretend. He was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but the kitchen door suddenly opened. Bai Xiao came out and almost bumped into him. She carried a
Plate salted crispy chicken rice, and stare at Yu Zhanming at the door.
"Dad." Bai Xiao called him.
Yu Zhanming made a face and did not answer her. He turned around and went back upstairs. He entered the study and closed the door. As soon as he sat on the chair, there was a knock on the door.
It wasn't until the third knock on the door that Yu Zhanming said calmly: "Come in."
When he saw Bai Xiao coming in with a dinner plate, he didn't have much expression on his face. He was scratching around on the paper with a brush that wasn't stained with ink.
"Dad, I put the rice on the coffee table. You can eat some first." After saying that, Bai Xiao knew that Yu Zhanming didn't want to see him, so he closed the door and went out.
Yu Zhanming looked up at the plate of crispy salted chicken rice, and scratched a few times with his brush. There was no movement outside the door, so he put down his brush and walked to the coffee table.
As a result, just as he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of rice, the door was pushed open and he saw Bai Xiao coming in with a mouth full of rice, neither swallowing nor spitting out.
"..."
There was silence in the study room for a while.
After Bai Xiao went down, he remembered that Yu Zhanming was old and might choke when eating, so he made another bowl of green onion and soy sauce soup, but forgot to knock on the door when he came in.
"Dad, you have some soup." Bai Xiao put the soup in his hand.
Yu Zhanming hummed with a cold face. Bai Xiao was about to leave, but he turned his head and asked her, "Where is Shao Ting's mother?"
"Just now, the wife of Political Commissar Zhang next door said she wanted to buy curtains and asked my mother to accompany her to take a look."
When Bai Xiao saw that Yu Zhanming had stopped talking, he looked around and saw that there was no ink in the inkstone. He asked Yu Zhanming again: "Dad, do you want to practice calligraphy later?"
"Yeah." She thought Yu Zhanming would ignore her, but when Bai Xiao heard his response, she consciously walked to the table and began to polish her ink.
While Yu Zhanming was eating, he occasionally turned his head and glanced at Bai Xiao, who was standing there patiently polishing ink. He was no longer as angry as before. When he saw Bai Xiao helping him lay out the rice paper, he swallowed the food in his mouth.
After dinner, he asked her: "Your family's conditions are average, so why do you play the violin and write calligraphy?"
…
Just because I didn't ask before doesn't mean I don't have any doubts, but now that I've pierced a layer of paper, I want to have some questions answered.
Bai Xiao paused in laying out the paper, then heard Yu Zhanming ask her again: "I heard you say last time that you have an uncle, why haven't you contacted him?"
"..."
Seeing that she remained silent, Yu Zhanming didn't force her: "If you don't want to say forget it, just pack up and go back early."
He put down his chopsticks and was about to stand up when Bai Xiao suddenly said: "When I was four years old, my uncle sold me to a wealthy family. In fact, I was in their family for many years before. Five years ago, I just
Move out." She hid the part about the Pei family and the child bride, and told everything else.
Yu Zhanming had never heard Su Manrong mention this before. When he first heard about it, he was quite surprised. He didn't expect Bai Xiao to have such a past.
Judging from Jing Xi's age, she was already with his unfilial son when she was still living in that family's home.
"Do you really like that bastard that much?" Yu Zhanming asked in a confused manner.
Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of his words and did not refute.
From the details of Bai Xiao's words and deeds, Yu Zhanming could tell that the family that adopted her had never treated her badly, so he didn't understand even more. Since there was no shortage of money, why would he get involved with his married younger son?
"Tell me honestly today, why did you fall in love with him?"
Bai Xiao thought for a while, then raised his head and met Yu Zhanming's slender eyes: "Shaoting...he looks very good."
"..." When Yu Zhanming heard what she said, his temples beat suddenly. He waved his hand to her and told her to get out quickly. Just looking at it gave her a headache.
Bai Xiao still wanted to clean up the dishes, but Yu Zhanming said, "Okay, let Aunt Zhang come up and clean up later."
When he walked to the door, Bai Xiao seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and asked Yu Zhanming: "Dad, Jing Xi said he wanted to get his ambulance toy, do you know where it is?"
"In the storeroom."
"Where is the storage room?" Bai Xiao was not familiar with this house.
Yu Zhanming glared at her: "You don't live at home, it would be strange if you knew!"
With that said, he walked past Bai Xiao and went to the storage room to get a toy. When he handed it to her, he said with a straight face: "I have come here many times, so naturally I am familiar with this place."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he suddenly looked up at Yu Zhanming, who had already entered the study with his hands behind his back.
…
Not long after Bai Xiao went out, the phone on the desk rang. Yu Zhanming went over to answer it: "Hello!" Not a good attitude.
"...Where are the Bai Xiao people?" On the other end, Yu Shaoting didn't mince words.
"Are you afraid that I won't succeed in trying to kill her!" Yu Zhanming snorted coldly, "If you are so worried, why do you want her to come to the house as a servant girl?"
Yu Shaoting asked him: "What did you ask her to do?"
"Is this the tone in which you spoke to your father?" Yu Zhanming was a little annoyed, especially when Bai Xiao said that this bastard seduced her with his skin.
Yu Shaoting was silent and said: "If you have something to tell me, don't cause trouble for her..."
Yu Zhanming directly told Yu Shaoting the word "fuck off", then hung up the phone with a snap and unplugged the phone line!
Standing in front of the window, Yu Zhanming's anger subsided when he saw the Clivia, and he whispered softly: "You bastard, did you talk to me like this?"
——————————
Bai Xiao came out of Yu's house in a light mood. She wanted to call Yu Shaoting, but she didn't bring her mobile phone.
Just as he was considering whether to go to the phone booth next to the entrance of the compound, Bai Xiao heard someone calling him: "Xiao Xiao!"
Following the sound, she turned around and saw Xu Jingyan. He was standing by the door of the courtyard, but she didn't notice him when she came out just now.
But didn’t he go back to the capital with Xu Zhenning and his daughter?
Bai Xiao watched Xu Jingyan walking over. He looked very depressed. At first glance, she couldn't connect him with the gentle and elegant person he was when she first met him.
"Why are you...here?" Bai Xiao glanced into the courtyard, thinking he was here to see Yu Zhanming: "The old chief is at home now."
Xu Jingyan just looked at her intently, his eyes red, and suddenly he was speechless.
From the moment he got the faxed genetic test report and saw the result, he no longer lost his calmness as before. Jing Xi was related to him by blood, and what about her? She was Jing Xi's biological mother.
When she looked at him in confusion, Xu Jingyan's eyes flashed with tears.
He hurriedly bought a plane ticket and rushed from the capital to Fengcheng. There was only one voice in his head - he wanted to see her, he just wanted to see her.
Bai Xiao waved his hand in front of Xu Jingyan: "Are you okay?"
"I -" Xu Jingyan's voice was choked with sobs. He looked at Bai Xiao's beautiful facial features and raised his hand, wanting to touch her face.
This is his daughter, a daughter who is closely related to him by flesh and blood, but he has missed her growth and missed her twenty-four years...
Bai Xiao saw that he was in a daze and avoided his extended hand, thinking that he was feeling unwell: "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Xu Jingyan shook his head and said in a dry voice: "I...I'm fine."
Bai Xiao looked at her watch. She told Yu Jingxi that she would pick him up from school and it was almost time.
"If you're okay, I'll leave first. I have to pick up Jing Xi from school." With that said, Bai Xiao took her bag and went to the roadside to hail a taxi.
Xu Jingyan suddenly grabbed her, and Bai Xiao turned around: "You——"
"Xiao Xiao," his throat rolled, his eyes were moist, and it was difficult to say every word: "Actually, I am you——"
"Why are you here?" A clear female voice cut off Xu Jingyan's words. He and Bai Xiao turned their heads together, and Su Manrong had already walked over quickly.
Su Manrong didn't glance at Xu Jingyan, and faced Bai Xiao with a forced smile: "Are you ready to leave? I'll take you back."
"No need." Bai Xiao nodded politely to Xu Jingyan and left.
Xu Jingyan watched Bai Xiao get into the taxi and wanted to stop her, but Su Manrong blocked the way: "I thought I made it very clear last time."
"Are you still lying to me? Bai Xiao is my daughter!" Xu Jingyan twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, but Su Manrong's face suddenly turned pale.
