It was dark, and the dim light from a lamp on the roadside fell on his shoulder. For a moment, Bai Xiao thought he was hallucinating.
Until, his fingers touched her forehead.
Yu Shaoting's faint smile made her heart surge with emotion, as if she had parted through the mist and seen the scenery and the moon behind it.
He is already tall and has excellent body proportions. Although he has not done any deliberate fitness, the exercise in his spare time has made his body lines no worse than those of male models. When he stood in front of her wearing a straight custom suit,
She couldn't deny that she was attracted by his appearance.
After Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, she looked at him and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come to the capital?"
"I can't come here?" he said, suddenly reaching out and hugging her tightly. She was small, and she was hugged by him, like a bird clinging to him. His hand caressed her spine, and his thumb touched her affectionately.
Caressing her, he whispered softly in her ear: "I haven't seen you for a day. Have you missed me?"
"..."
Bai Xiao was stunned, being hugged by him, a little unable to react, his sudden appearance, and this sudden hug.
At the hospital, when he called, he asked her to guess where he was.
She thought that at that time, he should be sitting in the airport terminal, or maybe already on the plane.
Bai Xiao couldn't explain her mood at the moment, it was too complicated to understand clearly, but when he pulled her into his arms, she felt moved and her heart moved.
She once thought that with a man like Pei Qiyou, who was handsome and close to reality, she would be with him and conform to the psychology of ordinary girls. But now she can see clearly that the one who can adapt to her world and not leave is the one who can adapt to it and not leave.
Another man named Yu Shaoting.
She raised her hands and hugged him: "What about you? Do you miss me?"
In front of the two of them, there were a few kids who were focused on fishing for lobsters. On the road next to them, there were also passers-by passing by. Although they would take a look, they would not stop to say hello. They must be unfamiliar with Yu Shaoting, which is why she would be there.
The reason why she hugged him back without any scruples in public.
"Have you not had dinner yet?" Bai Xiao felt that since he came here after work, he might not have time to eat.
Yu Shaoting let go of her, took her hand instead, and held it tightly: "There are meals on the plane. Why are you still hanging out so late?"
"There are guests at home, and dad is waiting for them, so I came out to find Jing Xi." Bai Xiao raised her head and looked at his familiar facial features. Under the light, the edges and corners were particularly sharp: "Have you been to the hospital?" Otherwise, he wouldn't call her.
Yu Zhanming didn't mention the phone number, how could he find this place?
Yu Shaoting did not deny it. He turned around and shouted "Yu Jingxi". The little guy immediately threw the tree trunk over: "Dad!"
On the way back, Yu Jingxi complained to Bai Xiao in front of Yu Shaoting, saying that she wanted to keep the young man at home for dinner while her father was away.
Bai Xiao: "..."
"When she cooked for us before, I never saw her choosing dishes so carefully." Yu Jingxi continued to report the details she knew.
"Yu Jingxi!" Bai Xiao's cheeks turned slightly red after listening to his embellished words, and she glared at him, looking like a bad guy who was cheating on him!
Yu Jingxi pursed her lips, and after telling her the truth, she walked forward without looking away, holding her belly high.
…
Yu Shaoting pulled Bai Xiao back a few steps, held her slender fingers, and said: "You are young, you should interact with young people, otherwise your temper will be dull."
Bai Xiao didn't believe he was so generous: "I just asked him to eat by the way. Besides, this meal was specially cooked for your father."
"Isn't my dad your dad?"
"..." Sure enough, it was just as she thought.
When he was approaching the door, Bai Xiao told him: "Dad, he knows about my relationship with Pei Qiyou. I was in the hospital just now and heard what the Xia family said."
She also discovered that the car originally parked outside the yard was missing, and it was estimated that the guests had left.
"Dad just told me a lot," she said, holding his long, slender and elegantly built hand, and raising her head to look at him: "He can't accept a daughter-in-law who tells lies. In fact, his doubts are right. If it were me,
Facing such a daughter-in-law, I'm afraid she will be even more jumpy than him."
"I never want you to have any disputes with your parents because of me."
Both Yu Zhanming and Mrs. Yu are good people. Bai Xiao has not had the love of her parents since she was a child, so she values the harmony of the family even more.
"So?" Yu Shaoting knew she still had something to say.
"When I was walking outside just now, I thought a lot. I was lucky before, but it turned out that I was wrong. If the Pei family doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that others will remain silent. I have been married and even had surrogacy. In the end,
One day it will be told through the mouths of others. In fact, there are no absolute secrets in this world."
She paid someone to be a surrogate mother. No matter how smart and cute Jing Xi is now, or if there are millions of reasons, she can't erase the mistake she made.
After a long while, he asked her: "Have you thought about it all?"
Bai Xiao nodded, shook their clasped hands, and stared into his eyes: "Didn't you say you would always be by my side?"
The two of them stood at the door of the yard. The door of the house was opened a crack and a little head stuck out: "What are you doing? Grandpa asked you to come in quickly."
——————————
When Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting came in, Yu Zhanming was sitting on the sofa. He glanced at the two of them, snorted softly, and blew open the tea leaves in the cup to drink.
"I've only been away for a day, and I'm just like a follower who has followed me happily, and I can only make so much progress!"
Yu Shaoting stood beside Bai Xiao, without any reply to Yu Zhanming's cynicism.
Such an attitude made Yu Zhanming look at him twice, and then he figured it out. He was probably feeling guilty.
Yu Shaoting suddenly asked the nanny to take Yu Jingxi out: "I just met Uncle Shen on the road and wants to see Jingxi. You take him there and I will pick him up later."
The implication of these words is that the nanny will not be allowed to bring Yu Jingxi back within a short period of time.
The little guy jumped down from the sofa, pouting, and was very unhappy with this arrangement. When he left, he deliberately stamped the soles of his little leather shoes very loudly.
Yu Shaoting looked at him coldly, and Yu Jingxi, who was instantly killed, immediately walked away in despair.
…
"The child was taken away again. Last time it was his life experience. What has changed now?" Yu Zhanming sarcastically said while drinking tea.
But Yu Shaoting asked: "Where do you keep your medicine?"
Yu Zhanming has high blood pressure. He is old and his heart is not in good condition, so he has medicines prepared by the hospital at home.
As soon as he heard this, Yu Zhanming's face turned dark. Seeing that Yu Shaoting really went upstairs to get the medicine, he was so angry that he smashed an apple.
Yu Shaoting raised his hand and caught it.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have anything to say, hurry up. If nothing happens, get out of here!"
Bai Xiao could see that Yu Zhanming was very angry, but he didn't press her for anything. However, she still started talking: "Dad, it's me. I have something to tell you."
Yu Zhanming glanced at her with a bad expression: "What did you say?"
"..."
Before Bai Xiao could speak, Yu Zhanming suddenly pointed at Yu Shaoting and said, "Get out here, I have a headache when I see you now!"
Yu Shaoting had no intention of leaving.
What Yu Zhanming hated most was Yu Shaoting's bad temper. He didn't know who he resembled. In the end, he stood up and went directly upstairs.
"dad--"
"Don't think that if you call me dad, I won't care about the things you do!"
Yu Zhanming went upstairs and reached the door of the study. He turned around and said to Bai Xiao downstairs: "If you don't come up yet, do you want me to go down and carry you in an eight-carat sedan chair?"
"Let's talk downstairs if you have something to say."
What Yu Shaoting responded to was the study door being slammed shut.
Bai Xiao was about to go up, but his arm was pulled. Yu Shaoting said from the side: "The old man doesn't have any sincerity at first sight. Go back to the hotel first."
"Dad just doesn't want to see you."
Yu Shaoting: "..."
Bai Xiao knew that he was worried about being embarrassed, so she pulled his hand and smiled: "If anything happens, I'll call you."
…
Yu Shaoting watched Bai Xiao go upstairs. When she entered the study, he turned and sat on the sofa.
I smoked a cigarette from the cigarette case. I didn't find a lighter on me or on the tea table, so I simply threw the cigarette aside, sat there for a few seconds, then got up and left the room.
——————————
Bai Xiao closed the study door. Although Yu Zhanming was angry, she still shouted: "Dad."
Yu Zhanming glanced behind her to make sure that Yu Shaoting was not there. His face was no longer as dark as before, but he also glared at Bai Xiao with a straight face.
In the study room, there was only one floor lamp, and the light was not bright.
Just as Bai Xiao was about to speak, Yu Zhanming started: "Is what you want to tell me about your surrogacy giving birth to Jing Xi?"
"..."
Bai Xiao looked at Yu Zhanming suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she heard Yu Zhanming ask her: "You can't live a good life, how can you be a surrogate mother like someone else!"
He took a deep breath and looked at Bai Xiao. When he first heard Xu Hongyang's words, he was absolutely shocked. He didn't believe that his lovely and smart grandson was obtained like this, let alone an eighteen or nineteen-year-old
The little girl has the courage to lend her belly to give birth to a baby!
He can roughly understand many things by contacting them back and forth.
She once said that she was adopted by a wealthy family. Now it seems that it is the Pei family and she is married to Pei Qiyou. She will be a surrogate mother just for money, but the Pei family is also a big family in Fengcheng. He doesn't
He knew what was going on in the mall, but he also guessed that her urgent need for money had something to do with the Pei family.
"You worked so hard to be a surrogate mother, do people appreciate you? It's not like you're trying to burn bridges!" Yu Zhanming's tone was more indignant.
Bai Xiao said nothing.
"I'll tell you the truth, if you hadn't already registered, I would never have agreed to let you go with the third child again!"
Yu Zhanming was so angry that he slammed the table: "Do you think I will never know if you keep hiding it like this? I am Jing Xi's grandfather. Do you think that if you tell me, I will still despise him and treat him as a monster? Third child
I've been around since I was a kid, so it's good for you to learn from them."
"I didn't let him tell you." Bai Xiao hurriedly defended Yu Shaoting.
"Oh, now you're protected?" Yu Zhanming snorted coldly: "What about before, for so many years, I didn't see him tell me and his mother!"
"Dad, that's not what I meant." Bai Xiao moved her lips.
"Then what do you mean?" Yu Zhanming glared at her angrily: "If you meet someone other than the third child, or Shuyuan is still here, I'll see what you will do!"
"So, I have always been very lucky to meet Shao Ting."
Bai Xiao looked at Yu Zhanming and said: "I have regretted before, why I wanted to be a surrogate mother. Otherwise, my marriage would be very happy, and I would not have been bumpy and bumpy for so many years, and finally ended up being expelled from the Pei family.
But now, looking at Jing Xi, I know that everything I encountered before was worth it."
"So you are still proud?" Yu Zhanming pointed at Bai Xiao standing there: "I think you are just stubborn and don't even have the most basic ideological consciousness!"
"Dad, I know I was wrong."
Yu Zhanming: "..."
Bai Xiao: "I don't feel proud, I just feel very lucky. Dad, your attitude is different from what I expected. I thought -"
"What's my attitude?" Yu Zhanming hummed again, no longer as angry as before: "No matter how you hide it, surrogacy will follow you for your whole life. In this society, there are many dark sides that you can't touch. Everyone
You have a bad nature. When others expose your surrogacy, they will say that you are dishonest and secretive. What if you had come forward yourself in the first place? Do you think they would easily forgive you?"
"No, they will accuse you of violating morality and promoting negative energy. Once someone gets hold of this, you will be in the eye of the storm of public opinion."
Bai Xiao's nose couldn't help but feel sour, and the circles around her eyes also felt warm and wet.
At this moment, the study door was knocked hard several times. Through the door, Yu Jingxi shouted: "Grandpa, grandpa, do you want a midnight snack?"
Bai Xiao wanted to open the door, but Yu Zhanming glanced at her: "Sit tight."
He went to open the door himself. Yu Jingxi stood at the door with a small mouth and looked into the study: "Grandpa, have you finished talking to Xiaobai?"
"Where's your dad?"
Yu Jingxi pointed downstairs: "Dad is on the phone outside!"
"Go and call your father up." After receiving the order, Yu Jingxi ran downstairs.
Yu Zhanming returned to the study with a straight face: "I thought I didn't know..." He looked up at Bai Xiao and snorted coldly: "I'm still going to bring in reinforcements."
…
Yu Shaoting came up quickly. As soon as he entered the study, he saw Bai Xiao and Yu Zhanming sitting on the sofa. He walked over and said, "Have you finished talking?"
Yu Zhanming couldn't stand Yu Shaoting's pretentious behavior, especially when he learned that he had told Xu Hongyang about surrogacy a long time ago, but he kept it secret from him. Therefore, since Yu Shaoting came in, Yu Zhanming's
His face has always been dark.
"What did you say to dad?" When Yu Shaoting spoke to Bai Xiao, his tone subconsciously became gentle.
After he came in, Bai Xiao's tense nerves relaxed. She held his hand on her shoulder, but Yu Zhanming sneered, thinking, just pretend, just pretend.
Yu Shaoting saw that Bai Xiao's expression was as usual, and she didn't seem to have been wronged. He grabbed her hand and tried to pull her up: "It's getting late. Let's stay in the hotel tonight."
Suddenly, a rolled-up newspaper hit him.
In my ears I heard Yu Zhanming’s angry scolding: “Your fucking wings have grown stiff, and you’re still staying in a hotel!”
"..."
Bai Xiao didn't want father and son to quarrel, so he pulled Yu Shaoting to try to persuade him.
Over there, Yu Zhanming suddenly stood up, walked to the desk, took a keyboard, walked to Yu Shaoting, and threw it next to his leather shoes with a clatter.
Yu Shaoting lowered his head, glanced at the keyboard, seemed to understand something, and dragged Bai Xiao away: "It's better to go back and rest early."
"Let's go, let's go," Yu Zhanming sat down on the sofa and glanced at Yu Shaoting's back faintly: "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance in the future."
Yu Shaoting stopped and turned around.
Yu Zhanming drooped his eyelids: "I won't say it directly in front of the children, but my attitude is here. If you admit your mistake, I can reconsider this matter."
"What mistake do I admit?"
Yu Zhanming expected that he would have this 'dead pig is not afraid of boiling water' reaction, so he turned to look at Bai Xiao and said: "I don't feel sorry for you, then you can do it yourself. Our Yu family has its own family rules, no matter if it is a son
She is still the daughter-in-law and has done something wrong——"
But before he finished speaking, Yu Shaoting had already let go of Bai Xiao, came back with a gloomy face, and walked to the keyboard.
Bai Xiao also saw what Yu Zhanming meant. The old man was angry. Instead of getting angry at her, he pointed the finger at Yu Shaoting: "Dad——"
"It's none of your business for me to educate my son." Yu Zhanming really wanted to dampen his spirit: "I remember who said that a man has gold at his knees and will never kneel to heaven or earth or to his parents in this life. In this case, it's better not to
Barely good.”
Yu Shaoting turned his head and squinted his eyes to look out the window for a while. After a long time, he faced the keyboard, slowly bent his knees, and knelt on the keyboard.
