What are you running, but I didn't expect you to like to play like this
"I was confused and didn't know what was wrong, so I told them that Xia Lan was in a car accident and was hospitalized. You went to Liyang to find your biological daughter. When you came back, you were probably in a hurry to divorce Xia Lan..."
Before Hu Yaning finished speaking, Xu Jingyan stood up in a loud voice and said hurriedly: "I didn't mention him by name, I just mentioned it a little bit!"
"Also, I...I have already told the magazine that they won't report it." Hu Yaning added, fearing that Xu Jingyan wouldn't believe it.
Xu Jingyan stared at Hu Yaning, as if he was restraining something. Hu Yaning swallowed and suddenly understood Fu Min's behavior of packing his luggage overnight to go to her husband's place of employment. They drove away Bai Ningxuan and her daughter back then, but now that the matter was exposed, it was considered a complete matter.
Xu Liu was offended.
Mr. Xu put down the teacup and said to Xu Jingyan: "Sit down, I've already said it. Is it possible that you still want to beat your third sister-in-law?"
Hu Yaning was worried that Xu Liu would eat her alive, so she didn't dare to stay any longer: "Dad, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he took his bag and left in a hurry.
Mr. Xu raised his head: "You went to Liyang to find that child?"
Xu Jingyan was still standing, motionless, but hearing his father say this still touched some emotion in his heart.
"Now that you know it, let's admit it." Mr. Xu stood up on crutches and glanced at his younger son again before going upstairs: "Xia Lan came to me that night and talked a lot. You and your sister-in-law have different opinions.
Ci, I'm already old. As for your family affairs, I don't want to interfere. You can solve it yourself and then talk to me."
Xu Jingyan came out of his old house, sat in the car, and dialed several numbers in succession. He was looking for people related to news magazines and newspapers. Whether they were acquaintances or people he had met once, he would call anyone he could find.
Finally, the person in charge of the magazine took the initiative to call him.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu has greeted us a long time ago. Don't worry, we won't report this to you."
Xu Jingyan held the cell phone. With the background of the Xu family, the old man could indeed suppress the news with just one phone call.
He wanted to smoke, took out the cigarette case, and found that he had already finished smoking. His stomach ached, but he couldn't eat anything. He was like a drowning person who fell into an icy lake and couldn't find a fulcrum to call for help. He wanted to give
Bai Xiao called, but he was afraid of offending her. He did not forget the way she turned around and left at the door of the hospital in the afternoon.
Xu Jingyan sat for a long time. It wasn't until the nanny came to ask him that he came to his senses and drove out of the compound.
——————————
Bai Xiao heard Yu Shaoting's cell phone vibrating on the table. He went over to look at the caller ID and retracted the hand he had just stretched out.
She sat back on the sofa and used the remote control to change the TV channels.
The other party called again and again. When the vibration stopped again, Bai Xiao still took the phone and answered it. On the other end was Xu Jingyan's voice: "Shaoting..."
"...He is taking a shower." Bai Xiao said.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.
"You can call back later." After Bai Xiao finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone, but heard his slightly hasty stop: "Xiao Xiao——"
Xu Jingyan's voice sounded dry and hoarse with fatigue, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time. Bai Xiao was about to press the hang-up button, but he hesitated because of his "Xiao Xiao". Xu Jingyan on the other end,
Even his breathing became cautious: "Am I disturbing your rest if I'm on the phone now?"
"No." Bai Xiao felt speechless and heard movement in the bathroom, "He came out, I gave him my phone."
Before Xu Jingyan could speak again, Bai Xiao took the phone away from his ear. When Yu Shaoting came out, he stood up and took the phone to him: "Phone."
When Yu Shaoting answered the phone, she went to Yu Jingxi's room.
The little guy kicked off the quilt and lay on the bed, soundly asleep, with cartoons playing. She turned off the TV and stayed there for a while before going back to her and Yu Shaoting's room.
Yu Shaoting had already finished answering the phone, covered his wet hair with a towel, and sat there playing with his mobile phone.
Bai Xiao stepped lightly, but he still noticed him when he got closer.
He put away the phone without leaving a trace, pulled her over, and asked her to sit on his lap: "What are you doing mysteriously?"
Yu Shaoting was in a good mood. Bai Xiao put one hand on his bathrobe, but glanced at his mobile phone casually thrown beside him, and said jokingly: "Are you texting some kid behind my back? Still...
Don’t recruit based on reality…”
"Aren't you my little one?" Yu Shaoting hugged her and said half-truthfully.
Bai Xiao remembered that others always mistook them for uncles and nephews or brothers and sisters, so she stroked his stubbled chin with her hand, and thought of teasing him, she approached him mischievously: "How could you talk to your niece like this?
Uncle, wouldn’t it be good for us to sleep in the same room?”
Yu Shaoting looked down at her, his Adam's apple twitching: "You call me uncle now. Why didn't you know I was your uncle when you were pregnant with my child?"
Bai Xiao felt that she was reaping the consequences, so he asked her seriously, leaving her speechless.
"No more playing..." Bai Xiao was about to get up from his lap, but he hugged her tightly: "Why are you running, but I didn't expect that you still like to play like this."
When he said this, he looked at her with meaningful eyes.
Bai Xiao originally wanted to see him embarrassed and embarrassed, but in the end, she turned red and said, "I'm going to take a shower——"
As soon as he got up, the world was spinning. He pressed her under him, with his hands on both sides of her. Bai Xiao pushed him with both hands: "What are you doing?"
After a while, Yu Shaoting chuckled and leaned down to whisper in her ear: "Take care of you."
——————————
The next day, Bai Xiao went to the hospital to see her grandmother again. In the corridor, she met Pei Qiyou who was standing by the window smoking.
Pei Qiyou seemed to have discovered something, turned his head and looked towards her.
He was not wearing a neat suit. At first glance, he looked less like a company boss and more like a graduate student. Bai Xiao looked away from him, walked past him, and entered her grandmother's ward.
Not only did I see Su Manrong, but also Yu Yiwei.
"Grandma, how about I buy you some swallows..." Yu Yiwei suddenly lost her voice when she saw Bai Xiao coming in.
Bai Xiao didn't say hello to her, but when Su Manrong asked her if she had had breakfast, Yu Yiwei stood up quickly and went out with a straight face.
"Eat at the hotel." Bai Xiao glanced at the door.
Su Manrong saw her doubts and told Yu Yiwei that she was going to marry Pei Qiyou, with the helplessness of a mother: "I couldn't persuade her. When she came back from dinner at Yufulou that day, she said she had a stomachache, so I sent her there.
hospital, and then somehow got in touch with Pei Qiyou, and even moved to Pei's house."
"Xiao Xiao, she doesn't listen to a word of my words now. Please help me persuade her." Su Manrong looked at Bai Xiao with hope in her eyes.
Bai Xiao didn't think so. I'm afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, Yu Yiwei became more determined to marry Pei Qiyou. That day at the door of the bathroom, she could see that Yu Yiwei's love for Pei Qiyou was born of hatred. With her character, she was afraid that
It's because of the thought of 'I'm not having a good time, and you can't be comfortable either'.
After talking to grandma for a while, the old man rushed her to leave. As for the father and son, Yu Jingxi sat on the toilet and couldn't get up in the morning, so Yu Shaoting stayed with him in the hotel.
When Bai Xiao came out of the ward, she didn't meet Pei Qiyou or Yu Yiwei again. She called Yu Shaoting, and the father and son were already downstairs of the hospital.
——————————
It was already past three in the afternoon when we returned to Fengcheng.
Bai Xiao thought that after returning to China, she had not yet visited Mrs. Yu. After the car exited the highway intersection, she took the initiative and said, "Let's go directly to the compound."
Yu Shaoting glanced at her in the rearview mirror, but followed her instructions and went to the military compound.
…
When Mrs. Yu saw mother and son, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She asked Aunt Zhang to cut fruits and made snacks for Bai Xiao.
"Mom, please sit down. We had lunch at the service station just now."
Yu Shaoting sent them to the compound, answered the phone and left.
Mrs. Yu looked at Yu Jingxi who was munching on an apple, and then at Bai Xiao. She raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes: "I thought you two wouldn't come back."
"How could it be..." Bai Xiao thought to herself that the old lady must have known something, and hurriedly comforted her mother-in-law: "We just went on a trip for a week."
"You won't leave again?"
Bai Xiao looked at the old lady's earnest eyes and nodded abruptly. The old lady was so happy that she took Bai Xiao's hand and said, "My daughter-in-law is still considerate."
The old lady thought of Bai Xiao's life experience, and her face showed concern and distress: "The Xu family didn't do anything to you, right?"
"No." Bai Xiao shook his head.
"If they bully you, tell your mother that she is definitely on your side. Also, your father and your second brother also support you unconditionally."
Bai Xiao was amused by the old lady's serious look, and felt warm in her heart. That night, she had dinner in the courtyard. On the way back, Yu Jingxi had fallen asleep on Bai Xiao's lap. She touched the little guy's head,
He raised his head and said to the man driving the car: "Let's stay in the country from now on."
"I still feel unaccustomed to living in Las Vegas these days. I prefer life in China."
Although she said so, Yu Shaoting guessed that it had something to do with his parents, so he didn't say yes on the spot. He only said: "Let's talk about it later."
Bai Xiao saw another call coming in from his cell phone, but he didn't answer it and just pressed it and threw it into the storage compartment.
She sat in the back with Yu Jingxi. After watching his series of actions, she leaned forward and lay on the back of the driver's seat: "Yu Shaoting, something's not right with you lately."
"What's wrong?" He raised his right hand and held her hand on his shoulder. Her fingers were slender, white and soft. They were wrapped in the man's generous palm. Yu Shaoting squeezed them as if playing with them.
Pinch her finger: "Do you think I spend less time with you?"
"……That was not what I meant."
Yu Shaoting successfully diverted her attention and said while driving: "In two days, I will take time to accompany you to the hospital for a pregnancy test."
——————————
Behind the calm there are often unknown storms.
Bai Xiao had just woken up when she received Ye Hehuan's call. The night before, she had slept late teaching Yu Jingxi homework, and it was already past ten in the morning when she woke up.
"Have you read today's weekly magazine?"
Bai Xiao could hear anxiety in her voice, and her heart beat faster: "I don't read entertainment magazines like this, what happened?"
"...You wait at home for a while, I'll go find you." After Ye Hehuan finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Bai Xiao changed clothes and went downstairs. Aunt Li had just come back from outside. Her face was not very good, but she immediately smiled when she saw Bai Xiao: "Teacher Bai, are you up? I'll make you something to eat."
"Aunt Li, did something happen?" Bai Xiao also noticed that Aunt Li was acting weird, which was similar to He Huan's situation.
She couldn't help but wonder, did the matter have something to do with herself?
Aunt Li waved her hands hurriedly: "If anything can happen, just sit in the living room for a while. I'll be there soon."
…
Before Aunt Li's breakfast was ready, Ye Hehuan arrived in a hurry. By the way, he also brought an entertainment gossip magazine to Bai Xiao.
"Turn to page 18 and take a look for yourself." Ye Hehuan sat down on the sofa and drank two large glasses of boiling water in a row.
Bai Xiao picked up the magazine and turned the pages quickly. On the page marked with page number '18', the picture with the header suddenly came into her sight.
It was a photo of Xu Jingyan. There was a girl standing next to him. Although the girl's face in the photo was blurry, Bai Xiao still recognized it as herself. This photo was taken when attending an event in City C. There was a girl next to it.
Eye-catching title: The illegitimate daughter of a famous Chinese violinist who has been hidden for many years is exposed.
"I recognized it was you in the photo right away!"
Ye Hehuan was worried for Bai Xiao: "What's going on? What's your relationship with Xu Jingyan? How did you become his illegitimate daughter?"
"I don't know either." Bai Xiao's heart skipped a beat as she quickly browsed the article.
There is another picture at the bottom of the article, which is very small and even unclear. It is a picture of her falling in the hotel lobby of City C and Yu Shaoting picking her up.
This is an era of national entertainment——
The third generation of red, the musician father, the third party who ruined the cousin's marriage, these sensitive words come together, making this news full of gossip.
"Who did this? It's so wicked!"
The content of the article did not refer directly to the Yu family, nor did it explicitly mention her name, but anyone who is familiar with the Xu family or the Yu family will suddenly realize after reading this report. The part about her being Xu Jingyan's illegitimate daughter is described in extremely detail.
It can be said that the evidence is conclusive, but in Bai Xiao's opinion, it is all strong words.
How could she not know that she and her mother had been raised outside by Xu Jingyan for more than 20 years?
Ye Hehuan was unwilling to give up for Bai Xiao: "Even if you want to report, you have to speak based on the facts. If you are really adopted by him, do you still need to be the child bride of the Pei family?"
"What do you mean by being so arrogant that you had an affair with your cousin's husband and forced your cousin to death?"
Bai Xiao took the landline and dialed Yu Shaoting. Without waiting for the other party to speak, she asked anxiously: "What are you doing now?"
"We're in a meeting, what's wrong?"
Bai Xiao looked down at the magazine open on her knees. She didn't know what to tell him. She just said: "I want to go to the company to see you, is that okay?"
She even heard someone say hello to him on the other end, and then heard him say: "Let's have lunch together?"
"Okay." After Bai Xiao said that, she hung up the phone. From Yu Shaoting's tone, it seemed that she didn't know about it, but it didn't make sense, but she couldn't care about that much anymore, thinking about the slanderous lines in the report.
According to him, she just wanted to see him immediately and see if he was implicated.
