In the future, with my father and me, we will take good care of you.
"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."
Xu Zhenning was panicked and twitched her lips: "Auntie, don't say that. I have no other intention. I just... came to see you."
"Do you think I'm dead?" Liang Huizhen sneered and glanced at her fractured left arm: "I woke up, why did I panic?"
"Auntie, you really misunderstood me."
Liang Huizhen raised her right hand to stop her from continuing: "I'm fine now, and people have seen it, so you can go back first."
Xu Zhenning looked at Liang Huizhen's indifferent attitude towards her, no longer as kind and gentle as before. She hesitated again and again and tried to explain: "Auntie, what I said to my mother this afternoon was all out of anger. I didn't expect it.
You would take it seriously and cause you and my mother to have a car accident..."
"You really don't know how your mother and I got into a car accident?"
Xu Zhenning's eyes flickered when she heard Liang Huizhen say: "If your mother hadn't turned the steering wheel to the left, would the car have hit the big truck?"
"Auntie, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Liang Huizhen didn't want to talk to her anymore: "You can go back. I will tell my family about this matter tomorrow."
Xu Zhenning was completely panicked. Due to her inconvenience, she could only watch Liang Huizhen lift the quilt and prepare to go to bed to rest. Her throat was so dry and painful that she kept trying to dissuade her: "Auntie, my mother is still lying there. You can't do this."
It's unfair to her to say it without any evidence."
Liang Huizhen has worked in the AA government department for so many years and is not someone who is easily fooled. After hearing what Xu Zhenning said, she frowned and turned to look at her.
Xu Zhenning straightened her back, holding the handles of her wheelchair with both hands, and said: "Don't you see how my mother has treated my father and the Xu family over the years? Even if you want to convict her, she must be punished by me.
Give Mom a chance to explain, rather than while she is still unconscious in the ward..."
"Is your mother seriously injured?" Liang Huizhen asked. She had just woken up and didn't know the specific situation. Before she fainted, Xia Lan was indeed in front of her.
"The doctor said that he suffered a serious head injury and may never wake up." Xu Zhenning deliberately made Xia Lan's condition more serious to gain more time.
Liang Huizhen's eyebrows knitted even tighter. Seeing that she remained silent, Xu Zhenning said almost pleadingly: "I already lost a leg, and my mother is like this now. I didn't want you to hide it for my mother for the rest of her life. In fact, I didn't expect that."
When I first found out that my mother would do something like this, I was shocked."
"When did you know these things?"
"..."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Liang Huizhen's patience was exhausted: "You go out, I want to rest."
Xu Zhenning didn't dare to leave. Once she left, what would be waiting for her when she opened her eyes tomorrow?
"This matter..." Liang Huizhen started to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Zhenning. Xu Zhenning raised his head, looked at her, and said, "I just found out about it not long ago."
"When my father first returned to China, he went to city C to participate in an event and met Bai Xiao there. My mother saw the photos of the event and recognized Bai Xiao. At that time, she said some strange words. I had met Bai Ningxuan when I was a child. In the afternoon
What I said was all my own guess."
Seeing that Liang Huizhen had doubts, Xu Zhenning added: "Because Aunt Xu from the genetics department was my mother's good friend. I heard from the third aunt and the others that back then, Bai Ningxuan's child was found not to be his father's, so... so I followed me.
Mom would only say such irrational things when she was angry."
Liang Huizhen remembered Xia Lan's panic at that time and didn't believe Xu Zhenning's words: "No need to say any more, I have made up my mind and will not change it again."
By chance, the nurse came back, and Liang Huizhen asked the nurse to take Xu Zhenning back to the ward.
…
Xu Zhenning was pushed out of Liang Huizhen's ward by the nurse and entered the elevator. She looked up at the changing numbers. It was definitely a lie to say that she was not worried or panicked.
People are selfish, especially at critical times, they can't help but think about themselves.
Xu Zhenning was worried that if Liang Huizhen told the Xu family everything tomorrow, she and her mother would most likely be kicked out of the house.
In the past, there might have been Xia family to rely on, but her grandparents had passed away, and those cousins were not close to her or her mother.
If Xu Zhenning was still the same person with sound limbs, she would not be so panicked. At worst, she would turn around and walk away arrogantly. But the fact is that she had just finished the operation and was dragging a residual leg. If she just left the Xu family like this, she would have to
How to live, how to take care of Xia Lan, who is lying there who will not wake up until what age and month.
The elevator door opened with a ding.
The nurse wanted to push her out, but Xu Zhenning held the wheelchair firmly, turned around and said, "Push me to find my dad."
——————————
Xu Zhenning asked the nurse to push her outside the ward where Xia Lan was. Through the glass window, Xu Jingyan was sitting beside her with his back to her.
In the ward, Xu Jingyan looked at Xia Lan who was wearing an oxygen mask. He had a lot of thoughts. He thought about many people and things. The most important thing he thought about was Bai Xiao. He thought about her smiling face. He put his fingers on his forehead,
I was so exhausted that I couldn't even open my eyelids, but I couldn't fall asleep.
As for Xia Lan, as her husband, he felt guilty. He was never with Zhen Ning during her surgery, and he was the last to know about her car accident.
But when he thought of Bai Xiao who was far away in Fengcheng, more pain and regret filled his mind and body.
He has missed him for more than twenty years, and now that he knows it, he can no longer pretend that nothing happened, even if Bai Xiao doesn't want to recognize him.
Therefore, when Xia Lan wakes up, he will no longer hide anything, and will tell her everything about Bai Xiao being his child...
The door of the ward opened, Xu Jingyan turned around, saw Xu Zhenning, and stood up: "Why don't you rest? You just had the operation. You can come over to see your mother tomorrow."
"Dad, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Xu Jingyan saw that her lips were dry, so he took the thermos bottle and poured water for her.
Xu Zhenning grasped the thin blanket on her legs with both hands, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Actually, the child that Aunt Xuan gave birth to was yours."
Xu Jingyan's hand slipped, and the hot water bottle fell to the ground with a dull sound. The hot water soaked his trouser legs, and he didn't even know he was burned.
He just looked at Xu Zhenning with a calm expression: "Who told you all this?"
"It's... Aunt Xuan said it herself. She named the child at that time, and... she even asked me specifically. She said the child would be named Xu Xiao, Zhuzi Xiao."
Xu Zhenning's eyes moved and she said, "Aunt Xu made a mistake in the paternity test back then."
Anyway, Aunt Xu has already moved abroad with her husband. Even if Xu Jingyan wants to pursue the case, there is probably nothing she can do.
"The test was wrong?" Liang Huizhen's voice suddenly appeared at the door of the ward. She walked in with a sneer: "Why didn't you say that your mother secretly changed the sample?"
As soon as Liang Huizhen finished speaking, the middle finger of the right hand beside the waist of the comatose person suddenly moved without any trace.
——————————
Bai Xiao was woken up by an itching sensation on her face in the morning. When she opened her eyes, she saw Yu Jingxi lying next to her, her thin breath blowing on her cheek.
The little guy was wearing the new spring clothes she bought for him last time, a set of goose-yellow casual clothes. His feet were bare, his butt was sticking out, his little head was resting on the pillow, and his chin was supported by his two small hands.
He stared at her without blinking, seeing that she was awake, and then changed his posture and sat up.
"Awake? You lazy pig." Yu Jingxi took his socks and put them on his feet.
Bai Xiao took the alarm clock on the bed cabinet and looked at it. It was already past nine in the morning. When Yu Shaoting got up, she didn't feel anything at all.
"Get up, Aunt Li has prepared breakfast for you!"
The little guy jumped off the bed first, took the hot water bottle on the coffee table, poured a cup of boiling water, held it carefully, and handed it to Bai Xiao: "Would you like a drink?"
Bai Xiao touched his son's head: "Brush your teeth and wash your face first."
…
Aunt Li cooked light porridge for Bai Xiao and paired it with a plate of pickled vegetables and pickled radish. She said that the third young master specially told her to do this before going to work.
Bai Xiao added a spoonful of sugar to the porridge. The little boy had never eaten like this before and found it novel. He climbed on the chair next to Bai Xiao, rubbed a spoonful of sugar on the ground, and ate most of it.
"Young Master, this is for Teacher Bai. If you want to eat it, Aunt Li will give you another bowl."
Aunt Li was afraid that Bai Xiao would be hungry, so she immediately filled a bowl of porridge in a children's bowl and placed it in front of Yu Jingxi, but the little guy's appetite was weak and he couldn't move after eating two spoons.
But when Bai Xiao handed over his spoon, he immediately opened his mouth and ate with gusto.
"The porridge is all the same, why do you like to drink the one from Teacher Bai's bowl?" Aunt Li stood nearby with a smile, feeling very happy when she saw Bai Xiao feeding the child.
Bai Xiao smiled, took a tissue and wiped Yu Jingxi's mouth, patted his butt: "After eating, go do your homework."
"I have to go to the airport this afternoon!" The little guy hesitated and refused to leave the table.
"Going to the airport does not conflict with doing homework." Bai Xiao saw that Yu Jingxi wanted to skip homework, "I told the teacher that I will hand in homework when I get back."
Yu Jingxi covered her heart and felt very hurt, but she still went upstairs to get her big schoolbag and started working on the questions in the living room in a decent manner.
——————————
When Su Manrong came to the door, Bai Xiao was getting up from the sofa and going to the kitchen to make a fruit salad for Yu Jingxi.
"Madam, are you here?" Aunt Li opened the door and greeted her warmly.
Walking into the kitchen, Bai Xiao took the fruit from the refrigerator, washed it and cut it with a knife. Unexpectedly, Su Manrong was standing behind her: "Xiao Xiao..."
Bai Xiao was cutting strawberries by himself, as if he didn't hear her calling him.
Su Manrong felt sad and tried to keep her voice normal: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"..."
Su Manrong stood there for a long time, watching Bai Xiao almost make the fruit salad, with red eyes, "I apologize to you for what happened yesterday."
"What's the point of apologizing? She said that yesterday, which made me proud in the Pei family."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I never told you who your father was." Su Manrong had tears in her eyes: "I never thought of saying it in this way, let alone
Didn't mean to hurt you..."
"These are no longer important to me. My life will not change because of any of you. If there is nothing else, you can leave."
Su Manrong wanted to say something else, but Yu Jingxi's clear voice came from outside: "Xiaobai Xiaobai, where is my fruit salad?"
Bai Xiao picked up the plate, walked past her and left the kitchen without looking at Su Manrong.
Yu Jingxi hugged the plate and quickly buried his head in the fruit salad. Bai Xiao looked at him without squinting, but he still caught a glimpse of someone coming out of the kitchen from the corner of his eye.
"Madam, it's almost noon, why don't you have lunch before leaving."
"No." Su Manrong glanced at the living room, took her bag, and went to the entrance to change shoes: "I'm leaving first."
The door of the villa closed with a click, but the indifference on Bai Xiao's face instantly faded away. She turned away and saw the champagne-colored car driving away through the window.
…
Aunt Li was about to make lunch, and Bai Xiao called Yu Shaoting and asked him if he would be back for lunch.
"I have something to do at noon. I will pick you up in the afternoon."
Bai Xiao reminded him to remember to have lunch and hung up the phone. She did not immediately put down the phone receiver, but also called Li Yang's hometown.
The person who answered the phone was the nanny that Yu Shaoting hired to take care of her grandmother. She spoke Liyang dialect and was very polite.
The phone was soon in grandma's hands.
Bai Xiao didn't talk about Xu Jingyan and Su Manrong, but just told the old man that he was going to Las Vegas with Yu Shaoting and Jing Xi.
"It's good to go abroad. It will increase your knowledge. Go ahead and remember to take good care of the father and son."
Bai Xiao thought about what the old man would do when he went abroad to settle down in the future, and couldn't help but said: "Grandma, you can go abroad with us."
"Why are you just saying silly things?" Grandma smiled: "I'm an old woman, what are you doing there? Why don't you go have fun and take some photos for me?"
"...I don't feel comfortable leaving you here alone."
"What's there to worry about? Now, I have Mrs. Wu at home with me. It's very lively. You don't have to worry about me. I'm fine."
Grandma and grandson talked some more. Grandma said she was still making soup and urged her to hang up. She held the phone and Bai Xiao felt a little tight in her chest and her eyes were swollen uncomfortably.
Yu Jingxi suddenly put down his spoon, got up from the carpet, sat next to Bai Xiao, and looked at her with concern: "Xiao Bai, just tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
"No." Bai Xiao tugged at her lips and raised her hand to rub her eyes: "Maybe the eyelashes fell in..."
The little guy quickly took her hand and said, "You can't rub it. Let me blow it for you. It will make it less uncomfortable."
As he said that, he pouted his little mouth, came close to Bai Xiao, huffed and puffed into her eyes, and put his thick and soft palm against her cheek: "How's it going?"
"It's not uncomfortable anymore." Bai Xiao hugged him tightly, and the sourness in her heart was replaced by warmth.
The little guy patted her shoulder with his little hand: "Don't be sad, don't be sad. From now on, daddy and I will be here, and we will take good care of you."
——————————
Yu Shaoting finished the meal at noon, drank some wine, and rubbed his temples with his slender fingers, while Jing Xing reported on the status of the project negotiated today.
Sitting in the car, Yu Shaoting looked at his watch and saw that it was still early, so he reported his address to the driver.
Jing Xing was shocked when he heard the address reported by Yu Shaoting. Wasn't that... the Pei family's old house? Could it be that Mr. Yu was drunk and wanted to fight with someone? He was debating whether to secretly tip Bai Xiao off, and the car
Already stopped at the gate of Pei's house.
"Um...Mr. Yu, do you want me to call someone out?"
"No need." Yu Shaoting said, already pushing open the car door and going out. He went directly to the door and rang the doorbell. Soon a nanny came to open the door.
When Yu Shaoting walked into Pei's house, Jiang Yingmei was clasping her hands, closing her eyes and silently reciting something to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva at home. Aunt Rong said, "A guest is coming." She opened her eyes and turned her head to see a tall figure in a suit and leather shoes.
When Yu Shaoting came to see her, she got up from the mat in surprise.
Jiang Yingmei did not expect that Yu Shaoting would come home suddenly. For a moment, she was not sure of his intentions, but she still asked Aunt Rong to make a cup of tea.
Yu Shaoting did not mince words with her. He put the newspaper in his hand on the tea table. Jiang Yingmei lowered her head and her expression suddenly changed.
That was a newspaper from several years ago. It was not a newspaper from Fengcheng, but from Hengzhou. What was reported on the page was a coal mine accident.
"Mrs. Pei, you should be familiar with this accident, right?"
Jiang Yingmei said nothing, and she was even more unsure of the purpose of Yu Shaoting's move.
Yu Shaoting was not aggressive, but said calmly: "Last night, I heard that something happened in the box of Yufu Tower. I have no other intention. I just want to ask you to stay away from my wife. Some words
, Don’t go out and talk nonsense if you shouldn’t say it, it won’t look good if you quarrel with each other.”
After speaking, Yu Shaoting turned around and left.
