If so, what are you doing in the capital this time?
"Have you had breakfast?"
Yu Shaoting looked at Yu Zhanming who was lying on the hospital bed, "playing dead", and put the fruit basket on the cabinet. He sat down on the chair next to him and didn't speak. He sat quietly, waiting for the old man to speak first. He received the call
I hurriedly called from another hospital and didn't have breakfast.
There is a brand new hot water bottle and a stack of disposable paper cups on the *counter.
Yu Shaoting stood up and poured himself a glass of water. Just as he was about to sit back, he heard an abdominal growl due to hunger. He turned his head and looked at the old man wrapping himself into a silkworm chrysalis. After a while, he still asked: "
What do you want to eat? I'll buy it downstairs."
Yu Zhanming remained silent and motionless, probably his anger has not subsided.
Yu Shaoting's temper was very similar to that of Yu Zhanming. He couldn't say anything flattering. He lit a cigarette, took a puff in the ward, slowly exhaled the white smoke, then turned around and walked to the door. As soon as he opened the ward door, he saw
Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi arrived just in time.
He held the cigarette in his hand and closed the door behind him. As for the cigarette, he threw it into the trash can next to him.
"Dad, are you... okay?" Bai Xiao glanced into the ward.
She was very worried about the old man's health. After all, it was caused by her, so after waking up Yu Jingxi, she anxiously took a taxi over. But at this moment, seeing that Yu Shaoting could still talk to her calmly, it showed that Yu Zhanming
It should be no big deal.
"Sleep in there." Yu Shaoting looked down at his yawning son and asked Bai Xiao: "Have you had breakfast?"
Bai Xiao shook his head: "I was in a hurry when I came, so I didn't buy it."
Yu Shaoting was in a good mood. He leaned over and picked up his son, patted his back and said, "Let's go down and have breakfast."
"You go and bring me a copy. I'll go in and see Dad first."
Bai Xiao felt that it was not good to pass through the door. They stood at the door and talked. Yu Zhanming might have heard: "I'm not very hungry. By the way, has dad eaten?"
Suddenly, there was a loud coughing sound in the ward. Bai Xiao didn't care about anything else and said to Yu Shaoting, "Just bring me some." He opened the door and went in.
…
Bai Xiao walked into the ward and saw Yu Zhanming wrapping herself tightly in a quilt. She called him several times, but no one in the bed responded to her, but she also knew that Yu Zhanming was not asleep and was coughing just now.
"Dad, your throat is uncomfortable. Let me pour you a glass of water." Bai Xiao poured water back and forth from two paper cups, trying to cool the boiled water as quickly as possible.
The person on the bed coughed heavily at the right time, as if in response to her statement that her throat was uncomfortable.
Bai Xiao found a pillow in the closet next to her, put it on her head, and said to Yu Zhanming, "Dad, let me help you get up. You drink some water first."
Yu Zhanming sat up with a straight face, squinted at the glass of water, and refused to drink!
"Where's Jingxi?" He looked around the ward, but didn't find his grandson: "I'm sick, why doesn't he come to the hospital?!"
Bai Xiao looked at the old man's energetic appearance. He didn't seem to be sick at all, but he still served him obediently: "He and his father will come up after breakfast."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhanming immediately became unhappy and wanted to drive Bai Xiao out with a dark face.
"Then I'll call them and ask them to come back immediately." Bai Xiao saw the reason why the old man was unhappy. After speaking, he took out his cell phone and prepared to call Yu Shaoting.
Yu Zhanming said with a tigerish face: "Who asked you to hit me? Put your phone down and sit down."
The old man wanted to see his grandson, but he couldn't bear to lose his face. After sitting down, Bai Xiao handed the paper cup filled with water to Yu Zhanming with a smile on his lips: "Jing Xi heard that you were hospitalized this morning and didn't even eat breakfast. I must
Take him to the hospital first. We thought you were asleep just now, so I asked Shao Ting to take him to have breakfast. Just now Jing Xi said he would bring breakfast for you."
Through the door just now, Yu Zhanming only knew that the mother and son were coming over, but did not hear clearly the specific content of their conversation.
Therefore, when he heard what Bai Xiao said, Yu Zhanming's expression softened and he glanced at her: "You are so playful, do you think I won't care about you two like this? I tell you, I will never care about this matter.
I will forgive you so easily."
Although he said that, he still took the cup from Bai Xiao's hand and took a sip of water, feeling a little hungry.
"Dad, I thought a lot about what you said to me yesterday. Growing up, apart from my grandparents, there were very few people like you who educated me as an elder. I made mistakes when I was young, so that
Now, it will bring trouble to Shaoting and even the Yu family."
Yu Zhanming snorted, with an expression that seemed to say, just know it yourself.
Bai Xiao paused for a while and then asked: "But, Dad, I'm curious, how did you know about this?"
"Why, God knows that you know that others know, so you don't allow me to know?" Yu Zhanming said, looking at her: "Logically speaking, there are some things that I shouldn't care about, and I have no position to talk about other people's housework.
But since I’m in the capital, if I have time, I’ll go back to Xu’s house.”
Bai Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zhanming. He drank the boiled water and said: "You are Xu Liu's child, and we have an endless blood relationship. They did something wrong back then, and now they have regrets. It is true that you have resentment in your heart.
But don’t let yourself discover the regrets you have left in this life when you get older.”
"The way I am now, I'm already fine."
"Really?" Yu Zhanming chuckled and said seriously: "If that's the case, what are you doing in the capital this time? Isn't it better to stay in Fengcheng?"
Bai Xiao was speechless, the door of the ward opened, and Yu Jingxi came in holding a small watermelon, followed by Yu Shaoting carrying breakfast.
In the past, when Yu Zhanming saw Yu Zhanming, he would immediately please the children who came over. Today, when he came in, he didn't even say "Grandpa", let alone look at him. It was not the same as what Bai Xiao said about being anxious to visit him. Yu Zhanming
I feel that it must be Yu Shaoting who said something to sow discord downstairs again to irritate his sweet grandson.
"Why don't you call me grandpa?" Bai Xiao took Yu Jingxi's little hand and saw the watermelon: "Did you buy it specially for grandpa?"
Yu Jingxi raised his eyelids and said calmly under Yu Zhanming's earnest gaze: "Oh, grandpa doesn't like watermelon, so I bought this for myself."
Grandpa doesn't like to eat watermelon, grandpa doesn't like to eat watermelon... Although Yu Zhanming doesn't like watermelon very much, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard what Yu Jingxi said. Even if he doesn't like to eat, can't he ask him first? Maybe, he
Do you like to eat it now?
Yu Zhanming didn't get any benefit from his grandson, so he immediately turned his anger on his son. Looking at the bowl of porridge that Yu Shaoting brought, he started to pick and choose.
"Dad, I said you don't need to buy it. Look at how wasteful it is now."
Yu Zhanming looked at Yu Jingxi scooping watermelon with a spoon. He didn't believe that these words came from the mouth of his always well-behaved grandson. Bai Xiao didn't know what happened to Yu Jingxi today, so he called his name in a low voice. The little guy looked confused.
: "I'm telling the truth. Isn't it shameful to waste it?"
"..."
Yu Zhanming was so angry that he stretched out his hand to ring the bell. Soon the nurse came. He glared at the troubled family of three and asked the nurse to bring the blood pressure measuring machine.
"Ouch, old chief, your blood pressure has just been measured and it's normal. Why do you need to measure it again?"
The nurse's words were very common, but to Yu Zhanming's ears now, it was that he was too troublesome and ink-stained. They were in the same camp as Yu Shaoting, just to irritate him, not let him feel comfortable, and want him.
His blood pressure was so high that in the end, he simply put the quilt over his head and said, "I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"
Bai Xiao pushed the little guy gently from behind, trying to get him to coax the old man, but Yu Jingxi looked at his nose and mouth, sitting there, dangling his two short legs, eating watermelon by himself. As for Yu Shaoting,
, lowered his head and looked at his mobile phone, turning a blind eye to the angry scene of Yu Zhanming in the ward.
"Since Dad is going to rest, let's go." After a while, Yu Shaoting put away his phone and stood up.
Bai Xiao noticed that her father-in-law wanted to be coaxed out of a child's temper. She pulled Yu Shaoting's sleeves, raised her chin and pointed at his chest. Chief of Staff Yu was still angry.
Yu Shaoting pretended not to see it and asked Yu Jingxi to wash his hands. The little guy did it obediently. The father and son had no intention of coaxing the angry old man.
…
Yu Jingxi stood on tiptoe, washing her hands and humming a song. She saw Bai Xiao coming in and said, "Wait a minute, I'll finish washing first."
"Why did you do that to grandpa just now?" Bai Xiao took two tissues and wiped his hands.
"Grandpa disappointed me so much."
Bai Xiao thought of what happened in the study room yesterday, thinking that Yu Shaoting's words might have misunderstood the little guy, so she held his fleshy little hand and said: "Last night, your father was teasing you, and you just ignored you.
Grandpa, how sad is Grandpa if you don’t give him watermelon?"
"But dad said it was grandpa who made you almost lose your little brother." Yu Jingxi still remembers what Yu Shaoting said last night.
"So how is the relationship between your father and your grandfather?"
The little guy shook his head, and Bai Xiao began to seduce: "That's fine. They don't have a good relationship. Your father will definitely say bad things about your grandfather, just like your grandfather, he won't say good things about your father in front of you.
?”
Yu Jingxi raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling. When he realized that it was like this, Bai Xiao touched his head and said, "Go out and talk to grandpa."
After the little guy went out, Bai Xiao took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and went to the sink to wash her hands, feeling a little nauseous because she hadn't eaten breakfast.
…
Bai Xiao wiped her hands and turned around. She looked up and saw Yu Shaoting standing at the door of the bathroom at some point.
He was half leaning against the door, still wearing the same suit and shirt. Although the shirt was slightly wrinkled and the sleeves were rolled up several times, he lit a cigarette with interest. Through the thin smoke, Bai Xiao noticed that he was falling on her.
Then I saw him walking over and putting out his cigarette butt on a paper box next to him.
"What bad things did you say about me in front of the children?" He looked down at her, his tone didn't sound like a question, and it could be heard that he was quite happy.
Bai Xiao didn't say anything good about him. She felt guilty and said vaguely: "I just asked him to be filial to his elders. How could he say bad things about you?"
"Really?" He chuckled twice, obviously not believing it, but he didn't press, "Are you hungry? I've washed my hands and I'll take you down for breakfast."
…
Yu Jingxi has reconciled with her grandfather Yu Zhanming, and she doesn't know what benefits she got. She didn't even go with Bai Xiao to have breakfast.
————————————
Bai Xiao had also known that Xia Lan and her daughter lived in this hospital before, but when they actually met them, they felt like they were in silence.
Yu Zhanming lived on the eighth floor. The elevator stopped on the fifth floor. After the elevator door opened, Bai Xiao saw Xu Zhenning sitting in a wheelchair and a decent-looking young man. The two were talking about something. Xu Zhenning looked a little irritable.
Then suddenly he fell silent.
Because after Xu Zhenning heard the "ding" of the elevator door opening, she turned around and saw a man and a woman in the elevator.
Last night, she heard from the aunt in the lobby that the illegitimate daughter of the Xu family had come to the capital. Although she had thought that Yu Shaoting might come too, but seeing him and Bai Xiao inseparable with her own eyes, Xu Zhenning felt like she had swallowed him.
I felt like a fly, and felt an indescribable discomfort in my chest.
A man who always behaves passively in relationships has never met a woman who can make him take the initiative. Once he meets a woman——
Xu Zhenning looked at the two people who were 'deeply in love', gritted her teeth, and said to the man behind her: "Push me in."
The young man seemed hesitant. Bai Xiao could tell that he seemed to know Yu Shaoting. He had nodded to Yu Shaoting just now, but she didn't pay attention to Yu Shaoting's reaction. When Xu Zhenning came in, she subconsciously stepped aside and gave Xu Zhenning's greeting.
A spot is available for the wheelchair.
Until the elevator reached the first floor, no one among the four people spoke first.
Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting exited the elevator one after another. Behind them, Xu Zhenning looked at their backs and clutched the armrests of her wheelchair. The young man who had been silent next to her suddenly asked her softly: "The weather outside is nice today. Do you want to sit on the lawn?"
Soon?"
Xu Zhenning squeezed the anger in her heart and said coldly: "Lu Xiangqian, do you think others are laughing at me not enough, and you still want me to be exposed to the sun?"
"Zhen Ning, that's not what I meant, I just think..."
"Have you said enough?" Xu Zhenning was impatient and got angry at him. However, thinking of her legs and the words Xia Lan scolded her, she was no longer the high-spirited Xu Zhenning she was at first. She suppressed her temper and said: "Lu Qianqian"
, you push me up."
Lu Qianqian looked at her gentle side face, smiled, and pressed the elevator button, "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go out to buy it later."
Xu Zhenning looked at Lu Qianqian reflected on the smooth surface of the elevator. He was not good-looking, he could only be considered decent. Especially standing next to Yu Shaoting, he looked like boiled water next to a glass of intoxicating Cordon Bleu Martell, bland and tasteless.
When she heard that he was so pleased with her, not only was she not happy, but she felt slightly disgusted and irritated.
"Whatever." Her tone was perfunctory, but he didn't mind and gave her the names of some restaurants in the capital for her to choose.
After Lu Xiangqian learned about her amputation, he flew back from Las Vegas overnight, left the airport, hailed a taxi and went straight to the hospital. He even forgot his luggage in the taxi. These days, if she hadn't allowed her,
I'm afraid he has to live in the ward and has never even been back to the Lu family.
Xia's family advised her to just hold on to Lu Xiangqian. Even the hospital nurses envied her for having a considerate boyfriend.
After hearing this, Xu Zhenning's attitude was cold. Sometimes, people are just not satisfied and cannot see the good in front of them. They always wish for a mirage that they cannot control.
…
Back in the ward, Xu Zhenning said she was tired and wanted to be alone, but Lu Qianqian kept manipulating her and left without saying a word.
Xu Zhenning took out a magazine from the cabinet drawer. It was the same weekly magazine that published the illegitimate daughter report last time. She didn't understand why the report didn't cause the public opinion storm she expected, or even ignored it.
, doesn’t this society like to talk about topics such as cheating and having an illegitimate daughter?
She pushed the wheelchair to Xia Lan's ward. Ever since she left Xu's house that day, Xia Lan seemed to have been hit hard and had never recovered.
Coincidentally, the Xia family's hall sister-in-law also came to visit Xia Lan and met Xu Zhenning in the corridor.
"Why did you come out on your own?" The lobby sister-in-law quickly pushed the wheelchair, "Want to see your mother? Come on, let's go there together."
On the way, Xu Zhenning couldn't help but ask about the report, and the hostess also held her breath: "Don't mention it, the Xu family is so unkind, they want to protect this illegitimate daughter to the end, huh, you don't know, yesterday
That Xu Jingwen deliberately found fault with your lobbyist over a small mistake during a meeting, which made me so angry!"
The eldest son of the Xia family works in the same department as Xu Jingwen. In the past, he was often taken care of by Xu Jingwen. Now, it is particularly convenient to suppress him.
"Your mother has worked hard for the Xu family over the years, and everyone has seen it. When the time comes, we will petition and write to the government department where the Xu family works to make trouble, so that everyone can see the face of the Xu family.
