At 9:18 in the evening, Bai Xiao arrived in Fengcheng.
She followed the other passengers out and immediately saw Yu Shaoting standing outside the ticket gate, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, which was particularly conspicuous under the light.
As soon as Bai Xiao went out, he was already beside her and took her hand: "Five minutes ahead of schedule."
She looked up at his bruised chin, clasped his big hand tightly, and let him pull her to the parking lot.
It wasn't until she got into the Range Rover and smelled the familiar smell in the car that Bai Xiao relaxed. She leaned on her seat and looked out the window at the city that never sleeps. She saw the river sparkling in the night, and suddenly turned back and said to Yu Shaoting
: "I want to go to the capital again."
…
She wants to go to the capital.
This is the truest thought in Bai Xiao's heart at the moment. It is what she wants to do after a day of accumulation without anyone's compulsion.
Bai Xiao's only impression of her grandfather, whom she had only met once, was that time at Yu's house. She served him tea and he looked at her with calm and friendly eyes. When she looked at her grandmother in the wheelchair today, her mind
Xu Hongyang's appearance automatically appeared.
She was in the advanced stage of gastric cancer, a very serious condition, but the Xu family never even disclosed this news to her.
Bai Xiao remembered Yu Zhanming's words, sat in the sun in the afternoon, thought a lot, and finally made this decision.
She was actually very conflicted in her heart. On the one hand, she resisted getting involved with the Xu family, but on the other hand, she couldn't compete with the blood that flowed through her body.
…
Yu Shaoting held her hand while driving and said, "I will accompany you there after I rearrange my work schedule."
Bai Xiao knew that he had wasted a lot of time these days by traveling to the capital, Fengcheng, and Liyang.
The last time Jing Xing called her, Yu Shaoting had planned to retire from his current position. The handover was at the end of this month, and he needed to handle many things to avoid leaving a mess for the new CEO. Donglin is here
There are still many investment projects to be finalized in two months.
So after hearing what he said, Bai Xiao could imagine how hard it would be for him to compress his work schedule in the next few days.
"I can go by myself this time. When I get to the capital, I will call the Xu family."
Now that she has decided to see Xu Hongyang, Bai Xiao will no longer refuse the Xu family's help. Instead of thinking about herself, she has to think about the baby in her belly.
"I'll go with you." Yu Shaoting held the steering wheel with his slender fingers, his eyes fell on the road ahead, and he said casually: "Just in time, I also need to visit Mr. Xu."
"There is no news from the capital right now. I will go there first and come back when you are free from work."
Bai Xiao looked at his handsome side face and said: "I can do it myself. I used to go on many business trips alone. You have been busy with work recently. Within the scope of my ability, I don't want to bring you too many unnecessary things."
Please, you have to trust me, I will take good care of myself and my baby."
The car happened to stop at a red light at an intersection.
Yu Shaoting turned his head and looked at the little woman with sincere eyes next to him. Her complexion was much better than before. He paused and then said, "I'll think about it."
Think about it, rather than just saying no.
Bai Xiao had a slight smile on her lips, nodded, took his big hand, kissed the tiger's mouth, and said: "Husband, you are so kind."
Yu Shaoting looked at her good-looking little appearance and laughed too. The red light turned green and he started the car.
——————————
After returning home, as soon as she opened the door of the villa, Yu Jingxi ran down from the second floor and looked at Bai Xiao with an accusing look in her eyes.
I went to Liyang without taking him with me!
Moreover - Yu Jingxi's big eyes fell on Yu Shaoting who was changing shoes. He went to the station to pick someone up without notifying him, these two people!
In order to express his indignation, Yu Jingxi did not complete any of the homework assigned by the teacher today.
Bai Xiao flipped through the blank pages of questions. The little guy sat on the swivel chair next to him, holding out his belly, and said lazily: "I was so angry today, and I feel bad all over. Looking at these homework books
I feel dizzy. As for the reason, you should know it very well."
Bai Xiao felt that this was just an excuse for him to be lazy, so he closed his homework book and educated him: "Yu Jingxi, if you keep doing this, you will probably regress in the monthly exam this month. By then, you will have to move to the last row.
Go sit."
Yu Jingxi picked up the pencil, flipped through the homework, and raised his eyelids to look at her: "How is grandma doing?"
The virtue of a little old man!
"Grandma is very good. This question was calculated incorrectly." Bai Xiao sat next to him and began to help him with his homework.
Yu Jingxi has a smart mind. In the past, when he was counting down in exams, it wasn't because he couldn't learn, but simply because he didn't want to learn. Now, Bai Xiao urges him to do his homework every night after watching the cartoon, and even when he is reading in the bookstore
, bought a lot of books for myself and my little one.
——————————
After Yu Jingxi finished her homework and went to take a shower with her pajamas in her arms, Bai Xiao planned to go back to the master bedroom. When she passed by the study, she found that the light inside was on.
Yu Shaoting was busy working in the study.
Yu Jingxi said that in the past, his father was often away from home for three days. Aunt Li also said that the third son spent most of his time on business trips or sleeping in the company.
Now he comes back every day and rarely works overtime. He takes some work home to do.
Bai Xiao opened the door and went in. The desk was covered with all kinds of paper, and there were a few pieces of white paper on the printer. Yu Shaoting was answering the phone. When he saw her coming in, he explained two things to the employee on the other end of the phone.
After finishing the sentence, he raised his head and looked at her: "Why did you come to the study all of a sudden?"
"I just finished helping Jing Xi with her homework."
Bai Xiao didn't ask about his company's projects and business, but because he had been an assistant for several years, he could still understand some things at a glance.
"Do you mind if I take a look?" Bai Xiao asked Yu Shaoting for his opinion before picking up the papers.
He made a 'casual' gesture and looked at her with interest.
Bai Xiao flipped through a few pages and found that it was about a demolition project on a piece of land in the north of the city. As she read it, she sorted the relevant information into categories. She heard Yu Shaoting say from the side: "Go back to your room to rest early. You are here, I don't have it."
Ways to concentrate on work.”
"Did I disturb you?" Bai Xiao hugged the pieces of paper and looked at him in shock.
Yu Shaoting shook his head, chuckled, and looked at her with deep and playful eyes: "Then what are you going to do here?"
Bai Xiao shook the paper in his hand: "I will be your temporary special assistant."
As he said that, he held a pair of messy papers and consciously went to the sofa, staying far away from him and trying not to affect his work.
Although Bai Xiao resigned for a while, she is still able to do some things with ease.
…
Bai Xiao was sitting on the carpet between the coffee table and the sofa. She had a lot of paper spread out on the coffee table. She lowered her head and looked seriously.
Next to her, the light from the floor lamp shone on her Bai Xi's slender neck, making it quiet and beautiful.
Yu Shaoting sat behind the desk and stared at her for a long time.
…
Bai Xiao didn't know how long she had been looking at these materials. She put down the pen and her shoulders were a little sore. When she raised her hand to rub it, another hand appeared on her shoulders.
The joints are clear, slender and good-looking, and they are white.
"Are you done?" Bai Xiao turned around and saw the man standing behind him.
Yu Shaoting sat down on the sofa, put his arm around her shoulders, and picked up the stack of organized materials with the other hand. He glanced at her twice, then his eyes fell on her face again, and asked her: "Are you tired?"
Bai Xiao shook her head. For her, being able to do something for him, no matter how hard it was, couldn't compare to the joy in her heart. She raised her hand and put it on his big hand on her shoulder: "There are still some contents, I don't know.
I understand, so I’ll leave it to you separately. You can take it back to the company tomorrow and let them take a look at it to avoid making mistakes later.”
——————————
Before going back to the master bedroom to rest, Bai Xiao went to see Yu Jingxi again. The lights were turned off in the room, the thin quilt on the bed was bunched up, and the lights flickered on and off inside.
Bai Xiao walked over and suddenly stretched out his hand to lift the quilt.
The little guy was caught off guard and completely exposed by the flashlight, there was also a villain book - Ah Shai Comics.
Yu Jingxi and Bai Xiao stared at each other, and for a moment, there was silence in the small bedroom.
Bai Xiao picked up the comic book, read it a few times, and then confiscated the flashlight: "Go to bed early, or I will give these to your father."
When Yu Shaoting was mentioned, Yu Jingxi immediately lay down obediently and closed his eyes. Bai Xiao turned off the light, closed the door and went out.
…
Yu Shaoting was taking a shower in the bathroom. Bai Xiao stood beside him for a while, then turned around and went to the cloakroom to pack his luggage.
On this trip to the capital, she thought she might not be able to come back in a day or two, so she chose a small trolley suitcase.
In mid-May, the thick clothes on my body have been taken off.
Bai Xiao prepared three sets of changes of clothes and some daily necessities. He closed the zipper and lifted the box. It was not heavy, and there were wheels at the bottom of the box.
Yu Shaoting had already come out, wearing a set of dark pajamas, and his black hair was still wet and dripping with water.
Bai Xiao took a towel and went over.
"Dry your hair first." She asked him to sit beside her, gently wiped his wet hair, and then placed a big head on her stomach.
Yu Shaoting hugged her and pressed against her belly. After a while, he suddenly said: "Why is there no fetal movement?"
Bai Xiao looked down at him, with her smooth black hair and his expression when he asked, like a curious boy. She smiled, with dimples looming on her cheeks: "Fetal movement will not occur until 18 weeks.
, it’s still a little early.”
"Just now, I booked a high-speed rail ticket." Bai Xiao said that she was pregnant now, and she felt that taking the high-speed rail might be better than taking a plane.
Yu Shaoting just asked her: "When?"
Bai Xiao knew that he had already agreed to her previous proposal in the car, "At 7:35 in the morning, all other shifts are sold out."
——————————
The next day, Yu Shaoting also got up very early, and after breakfast, he sent Bai Xiao to the station. When he left, Yu Jingxi was still sleeping soundly in his room.
Bai Xiao sat by the bed, leaned over and kissed her son's cheek, and then went downstairs.
In the early morning, the community was very quiet and the air was fresh. Bai Xiao was a little cold when she came out, so she put on a thin coat.
Yu Shaoting put her trolley case in the trunk.
"I'll make a call to the capital later. When you arrive, someone will pick you up." Yu Shaoting told her in the car not to run around then.
This time, he paid more attention to her than when she returned to Liyang yesterday.
Bai Xiao turned her head and saw that there were bloodshot eyes in his eyes and his inner eyelids were darker than usual, as if he hadn't slept well all night. She put her hand on his: "I will take care of myself. When you are working
Remember to eat, and Jing Xi, if you have time, help him with his homework."
"Yes." Yu Shaoting squeezed her hand and asked her to lean on the position to rest for a while: "I'll call you when we get there."
Many people have told Bai Xiao that Yu Shaoting is not a good person. When Bai Xiao closed her eyes, she thought, this man has always been a good person in her world, and he is a good husband, even though he is sometimes cold to Jing Xi.
It was hot, but she knew that he didn't dislike children, or even his family members.
…
When Bai Xiao arrived in the capital, the orderlies from Yu Zhanming's family came to pick her up.
"The chief has a meeting today and asked me to pick you up and go home directly." The orderly was a young man, smiling and easy to get along with.
After getting in the car, Bai Xiao sent a text message to Yu Shaoting to report that he was safe.
When they arrived at the courtyard, the nanny handed Bai Xiao a small note, saying it was given to her by the old chief. Bai Xiao spread it out and it should be the address where Xu Hongyang was hospitalized.
Even which ward and which bed are clearly marked.
Bai Xiao had the contact information of Xu's family. After lunch, before going to the hospital, she selected Xu Ruiling's number and dialed a number.
——————————
Xu Hongyang was admitted to the hospital yesterday afternoon.
After the Xu family learned about the old man's condition, most of their children and grandchildren arrived and stayed in the lounge next to the ward until evening before going home.
When Bai Xiao received the call, it was Xu Ruiling's turn to go to the hospital to take care of her father.
Bai Xiao did not ask Xu Ruiling to send someone to pick her up, but asked the orderly to see her off. She stood at the door of the ward and did not go in immediately. Through the door, she heard the old man's strong laughter coming from inside, and the ward door suddenly opened.
When Xu Ruiling saw Bai Xiao, she was very surprised: "Why don't you knock on the door and come in?"
The chatter and laughter in the ward disappeared.
Bai Xiao heard Xu Hongyang ask inside: "Who is here?"
Xu Ruiling turned sideways, smiled and said to the old man sitting on the bed: "See for yourself, who is coming to see you?"
In the ward, in addition to Xu Hongyang, there was also a doctor in a white coat with gray hair. When he saw someone coming to visit, he stood up and left.
"This is Director Zhang from the hospital. He just came over to play chess with the old man." Xu Ruiling explained beside her.
Bai Xiao looked at the patient. Xu Hongyang was cleaning up the chessboard. He didn't have much emotional reaction to her arrival. She remembered what Xu Ruiling said on the phone: "I told Fu Min and the others to give you a call, but the old man
No, he probably doesn't want to cause you any more trouble because of the Xu family's affairs."
"I'll go out and ask the nurse to put in the intravenous drip." After Xu Ruiling went out, only Bai Xiao and Mr. Xu were left.
Mr. Xu's hair was all white and his body was not weak. He got up from the bed and wanted to put the chess set back in the closet in front of the bed. But after all, he was old and could not walk without the crutches he was used to.
After a few steps, his body swayed and he was about to fall - "Be careful."
Xu Hongyang turned his head, looked at Bai Xiao who was supporting him, gently pushed her hand away: "I'm fine." Then he put the chess piece in the appropriate position.
Bai Xiao stood aside and did not help anymore, watching him return to the bed and sit down again.
Xu Hongyang raised his eyes and asked her: "Did the second brother tell you?"
"No, it was my father-in-law who told me." Bai Xiao answered truthfully.
Xu Hongyang pointed to the sofa in front of him: "Sit down, standing is tiring. When did you arrive in the capital, does Liu Liu know you are here?"
Bai Xiao did not let Xu Ruiling tell Xu Jingyan about her coming, nor did she go to sit on the sofa. When she heard Xu Hongyang said again: "If you are really serious, go and see Lao Liu. There is nothing wrong with me. He is not having a good time now."
, you are alone at home, and the hospital is not far away, so I will ask the driver to take you there."
"You'd better take care of yourself first." Bai Xiao said suddenly.
Xu Hongyang was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared in his eyes. He nodded and the smile slowly faded: "I have lived long enough in this life. My only wish before I die is that you forgive me. I know you have suffered all these years."
We have suffered a lot because our Xu family couldn't bear to let you mother and daughter go through it."
Bai Xiao opened his eyes and looked towards the window.
"Lao Liu has been unhappy these past few years. He has never had children of his own. This is also a punishment for him."
————————The author has something to say————————
I’ve never been good at naming titles, so I thought of a simple way to use the ending chapter [] as the title. Is the author clever? The finale is expected to be around the 10th, and I will work hard to update it and explain what needs to be explained.
