I can't afford to call you big aunt for fear of ruining my life
"Sometimes, the love between husband and wife is more precious than the love of youth."
Xu Jingyan's eyes turned red because of these words, and he was stunned. Xu Jingwen knew his brother was in trouble and sighed: "What else? Can you and Bai Ningxuan go back? If you want to take your child back, I think my father will support it.
This is your only flesh and blood, but Bai Ningxuan, you must also consider Xia Lan's feelings."
No matter how many misunderstandings have arisen between him and Bai Ningxuan until today, they will never go back.
Xu Jingyan understood, so he was heartbroken. Over there, Hu Yaning, who was sitting on a public chair outside the operating room, suddenly stood up and complained to Xu Jingyan: "Old Liu, you are so unkind. We have been here all night, so you are better."
, I still don’t know where to go…”
Xu Jingyan thought of Su Manrong's words. It was his third sister-in-law who threatened her that if she left the capital, she would destroy her family... His hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.
When Xu Jingwen heard what Hu Yaning said, he frowned: "Third daughter-in-law, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. Xia Lan is still lying in there undergoing surgery."
"It's because Xia Lan's life and death are still uncertain, so I, as the sister-in-law, feel unworthy for her!"
Hu Yaning raised her chin and glanced sideways at Xu Jingyan: "Some people think that they are in their early twenties and are romantically involved with young girls..."
"Third sister-in-law." Fu Min tugged on Hu Yaning's sleeve, trying to hint to her. Didn't you see the darkening of Lao Liu's face?!
However, Hu Yaning was not a 'soft persimmon'. Seeing Fu Min acting like this, he pulled Fu Min away and said, "That night, at the convenience store next to the hospital, Lao Wu and his wife, Lao Liu, hugged a young man.
Little girl, the two of them are still looking at each other, so sweet—"
"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak." Xu Jingyan said coldly. Of course he knew who the young girl Hu Yaning was talking about was.
"Are you angry with shame?" Hu Yaning sneered: "I am the most disgusting person in my eyes. Old Liu, you have gone too far this time. You are eager to get a little wife, and you can't care about your original wife's life and death. You stare at me,
I also want to say, Lao Liu, that young woman who is willing to act as a mistress for a man who is almost fifty years old is not a good bird."
Fu Min asked Hu Yaning to stop talking, but Hu Yaning said he was addicted: "Old Liu, how can I know people and faces but not know their hearts..."
"Back then, did the third sister-in-law say that she left Bai Ningxuan?" Xu Jingyan suddenly asked, and the sound of a pin dropping could be heard in the corridor.
Hu Yaning's face froze, and Fu Min also looked at Xu Jingyan, who looked calm, in surprise. The two sisters-in-law looked a little uncomfortable.
"And Fifth Sister, that letter must have cost you a lot of effort."
Fu Min twitched the corners of his lips, and his expression was not very good: "Sixth brother, what are you talking about, why can't I understand it well."
Seeing that Fu Min refused to admit it, Xu Jingyan sneered: "The fifth sister-in-law's family comes from a scholarly family, and there are many masters of calligraphy. Anyone you pick can imitate other people's handwriting."
"Is there... any misunderstanding in this?" Fu Min's eyes flickered, thinking something bad in his heart.
I don’t know who is this nagging person, but he actually mentioned what happened back then to Lao Liu!
Hu Yaning, on the other hand, did not hide it at all and exposed it directly: "Yes, I went to see Bai Ningxuan back then. What happened?"
Xu Jingyan clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands became clearer and clearer.
"She had a child with another man behind your back. As my sister-in-law, I helped you get rid of this shameless woman. It's okay if you are not grateful. Now you still talk to me with this attitude, oh, I
I understand, the mistress you are looking for looks just like Bai Ningxuan..."
"Third sister-in-law, please stop saying a few words." Fu Min was afraid that Hu Yaning would anger Xu Jingyan.
But Hu Yaning did not accept this trick and said enthusiastically: "If Xia Lan has something wrong with her this time, I will have to come to find the mistress!"
"How dare you try to find her." Xu Jingyan said coldly.
"..."
Hu Yaning was speechless by his cold eyes. He swallowed and muttered: "If you don't dare, drag these shameless people to the street."
Xu Jingyan was about to rush over, but Xu Jingwen stopped him with quick eyes and hands: "Old Liu, what are you doing!"
"Let go." Xu Jingyan wanted to get rid of his elder brother's restraint. His face was cold and his tone was particularly calm: "Brother, let me go."
"What do you want to do after I let you go? Do you still want to beat your third sister-in-law?"
"..." Xu Jingyan remained silent, obviously having this plan.
"Xu Jingyan, you are crazy!" Hu Yaning was so frightened that she hid behind Fu Min, then turned around and complained to Xu Ruiling, the second child of the Xu family who had not interrupted, "Second sister, look at it, look at it, I am also his third brother.
His wife, his third brother is not here, and even I want to beat him for a mistress..."
"Keep your mouth clean!" Xu Jingyan shouted sharply.
Xu Ruiling frowned, walked over, and pulled Xu Jingyan: "Lao Liu, what's going on with you today? This is a hospital, please calm down!"
With that said, she turned to Hu Yaning and Fu Min and said, "You guys should go back too, don't cause trouble here."
Fu Min couldn't get what he wanted, so he pulled Hu Yaning, who was still quick to talk, and left the hospital in three steps at a time.
…
After Hu Yaning and Fu Min went downstairs, Xu Jingwen let go of his brother who had calmed down.
Xu Jingyan leaned against the wall and rubbed his face with both hands. His face was even more depressed than before. Xu Ruiling couldn't stand his behavior and asked: "What happened? What did Yaning say just now?"
?Lao Liu, are you really looking for it outside——"
Xu Jingyan smiled to himself, but there were tears in his eyes. He couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, especially after his family said so about Bai Xiao.
They were his flesh and blood, yet they were misunderstood time and time again as a mistress who ruined other people's marriages, and were pointed at and insulted like that.
When Xu Jingwen saw his brother like this, he knew that things were not what Hu Yaning said. He seemed to have thought of something: "Is that young girl -"
Xu Jingyan looked at Xu Jingwen and couldn't help but think of the surrogacy between Xu Shuyuan and Bai Xiao. His heart was twisted and he said in a hoarse voice: "It's Bai Xiao."
"..." Xu Jingwen thought he heard wrongly and frowned.
Xu Jingyan repeated it again, speaking clearly: "Bai Xiao is my daughter, the daughter of me and Bai Ningxuan."
Xu Ruiling covered her mouth and exclaimed in disbelief: "Isn't she the..." third party who destroyed Shuyuan's marriage?
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Xu Jingwen couldn't accept this result for a while.
Xu Jingyan just nodded when the lights in the operating room over there were turned off and the door was pushed open. He turned around and the nurse pushed Xia Lan out. Xu Ruiling had already gone up and asked: "How is it?"
After taking off the mask, the doctor said: "The operation was relatively successful. However, the patient's head was seriously injured and he will not be able to wake up for a while."
"I won't wake up for a while, what do you mean?"
Xu Jingyan's heart sank when he heard the doctor explain: "It may be a few days, or it may be a period of time. I can't say for sure."
——————————
When Xu Zhenning heard about Xia Lan's post-operative condition, her uneasy heart arose again. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She didn't know what happened to Liang Huizhen and Xia Lan in the car.
They all said that Xia Lan blocked Liang Huizhen when the accident occurred, but she did not think so. There must have been a dispute between the two while driving.
When Liang Huizhen left, she said she was so determined to expose her mother...
Xu Zhenning's temples ached. She couldn't help but think of the time when Xia Lan was hit by a car and lost her child while trying to save Xu's mother. Only she, the daughter, knew that. At that time, Xia Lan didn't know she was pregnant until she was lying on the operating table.
on, watching the embryo fall out of the body with my own eyes.
During those days, Xia Lan locked herself in her room, smashed a lot of things, resented Xu's mother, and beat Xu Jingyan with her servants behind her back.
But on the other hand, Xu Zhenning had to lament her mother's good luck. Many mistakes made her marry Xu Jingyan as she wished.
Xu Zhenning thought about it, her chest filled with anger, and she threw the pillow to the ground. Why didn't she have such a good life?
What she paid for Yu Shaoting was no less than what her mother had paid for Xu Jingyan, but what did she get? She touched the empty trouser leg of her right leg under the quilt.
…
The door to the ward creaked open. Xu Zhenning turned around hurriedly and saw Xu Jingyan coming in. Her heart beat loudly and she shouted: "Dad."
The voice was dry and uncomfortable.
But Xu Jingyan, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, didn't notice anything strange about her. He just asked her about her situation and asked her to rest early.
Before Xu Jingyan was about to leave, Xu Zhenning called him urgently: "Dad!"
Xu Jingyan froze. Hearing the word "Dad", he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. He turned around and asked Xu Zhenning: "What's wrong?"
"Dad, there's something I haven't told you."
Xu Zhenning's hands under the quilt were wet with sweat. She was gambling, and her heartbeat kept accelerating: "Last time in Fengcheng, I... saw Aunt Xuan."
She raised her head and looked at the expression on Xu Jingyan's face, and said tentatively: "Her name is Mrs. Yu, she said her name is Su Manrong, but I know I was right."
"Really?" Xu Jingyan didn't show much surprise and pulled up the quilt for Xu Zhenning: "You should go to bed early. I'll go see your mother."
"Dad, is my mother's condition really serious?"
Xu Jingyan just thought she was worried about Xia Lan and comforted her: "The operation was successful. Don't think too much. It's important to take care of your body first."
"Dad, don't work too hard. There are nurses here at the hospital. You should go home and rest early." Xu Zhenning said.
Xu Jingyan nodded and walked to the door of the ward. When he opened the door, he suddenly turned around, looked at Xu Zhenning and said, "Zhenning, do you still remember your Aunt Xuan's child?"
Xu Zhenning was a little panicked: "Why did dad suddenly ask this?"
"...It's nothing, you can go to sleep." Xu Jingyan was also tired tonight, so he didn't say anything more, closed the door and went out, leaving a pale Xu Zhenning behind.
Xu Zhenning sat on the bed, with only one guess in her mind: Xu Jingyan might have known something, such as that Bai Ningxuan's child was his.
She didn't know what the basis for her thinking was, but she just had this intuition, and couldn't help but feel even more nervous.
If it was because the Xu family and Xia Lan were her protectors before, she dared to talk to Xia Lan about those things in those years without restraint, then at this moment, after Liang Huizhen heard some secrets, Xu Zhenning realized that she
What serious consequences have been caused by his unbridled speech!
She was afraid, she was afraid that Liang Huizhen would tell the rest of the Xu family all this. She was afraid, what would happen if Xia Lan was kicked out of the Xu family after Xia Lan fell into coma?
…
Xu Zhenning stayed outside the operating room all night, so the drip was delayed until now.
The nurse came in to remove the needle for her, but Xu Zhenning said to the nurse: "Go and push the wheelchair over to me! I want to see my eldest aunt."
"... Mrs. Xu hasn't woken up yet."
Xu Zhenning didn't care and insisted on pushing her to the nurse. The nurse couldn't resist her and had to send her to Liang Huizhen's ward.
The Xu family hired senior nurses for both Liang Huizhen and Xia Lan. Xu Zhenning had just arrived at the ward, but she didn't see Liang Huizhen on the ward, and she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat behind her back.
"Where did my...aunt go?!"
The nurse pointed to the bathroom and said in a low voice: "Madam is in there. She just woke up. Maybe the anesthesia hasn't passed yet and she's feeling dizzy."
Xu Zhenning asked eagerly: "After my eldest aunt woke up, has anyone come to see her or talk to her?"
"...No, you are the first."
Xu Zhenning felt relieved, found an excuse to get rid of the nurse, closed the ward door, and waited quietly for Liang Huizhen to come out of the bathroom.
…
When Liang Huizhen rubbed her temples and opened the door, she looked up and saw Xu Zhenning. She frowned and said coldly: "What are you doing here?!"
Xu Zhenning moved her lips: "Auntie..."
"I can't bear to treat you as a big aunt." Liang Huizhen said with a cold face and a bad tone, "I'm afraid it will shorten my life."
