Until Xu Jingyan sat at the dining table, he still doubted whether this was a sweet dream. He looked up at Bai Xiao, selfishly not wanting to wake up from the dream.
Seeing him like this, Bai Xiao put down the potstickers in his hand and wiped a few fingers with a paper towel.
"What I just said was not a joke. If I live here it will disturb you. I will go back to the courtyard in a moment."
"No... no interruption!"
Xu Jingyan spoke quickly, fearing that she would really get up and leave, and was a little incoherent: "I'm just a little excited. You can stay as long as you want. Did you sleep comfortably last night? If you're not used to it, I'll ask the furniture store to give you another one."
Zhang Xin came here, and he also has a list, and he doesn’t like to tell A Liang."
A Liang is the nanny at home.
Bai Xiao looked at the roots of his ears that were a little red because he was in a hurry to talk. She seemed to have inherited this from him, and her face and ears and neck would turn red all the time.
She picked up the chopsticks again and put a small steamed bun on his plate: "No need to change, Dad, you can have breakfast first."
Seeing that he had not moved his chopsticks, Bai Xiao raised her head. Xu Jingyan was staring at her for a moment, with tears filling her eyes. At that moment, she thought of a word - weeping with joy.
…
In the morning, Xu Hongyang asked Fu Min to call him instead of Bai Xiao and Xu Jingyan going to the hospital to visit him.
Xu Jingyan's college alumnus, the president of a university in the capital, wanted to invite Xu Jingyan to give a speech at their school in the evening. Bai Xiao answered the call. She glanced at the bathroom, thinking about Xu Jingyan's recent low energy, and agreed on his behalf.
Xu Jingyan came out of the bathroom and wanted to call back. Bai Xiao suddenly said: "I think you have been too sloppy recently."
"Now if you go out with me, others won't believe that you are my father."
Xu Jingyan put down the phone angrily, touched his face, and looked at the glass next to him: "Is it that bad?"
"It's not very good anyway."
Now, Xu Jingyan values the most, or in other words, the only thing he cares about is his daughter. He will keep every word she says in his heart.
Bai Xiao stood up from the sofa and said to Xu Jingyan: "Dad, I will accompany you to get your hair cut."
For Xu Jingyan, the word 'dad' is more effective than any persuasion.
…
Xu Jingyan was injured in a fall last time, and the wound on his forehead has not fully recovered, so Bai Xiao just asked the barber to give him a more energetic haircut.
Bai Xiao sat on the sofa and waited, taking a magazine and flipping through it.
The man sitting next to Xu Jingyan, who was baking oil, said to Xu Jingyan enviously: "Is this your daughter? She is so filial, and she even comes with you to get her hair cut."
Xu Jingyan turned his head and looked at Bai Xiao, who was sitting quietly reading a book. He had never been so easily satisfied in his life.
Half an hour later.
Bai Xiao raised his head and looked at Xu Jingyan who had had his hair cut. Compared with his recent appearance, he looked much cleaner and fresher. The only drawback was that he had a lot of gray hair.
She accompanied Xu Jingyan to the mall again and picked out a set of clothes for him to wear for tonight's speech.
When he put on new clothes and stood in front of the fitting mirror with some embarrassment, Bai Xiao felt that he saw JY Xu again, gentle and elegant when they first met.
——————————
In the evening, in the brightly lit conference hall, while Xu Jingyan was speaking on the podium, Bai Xiao was sitting in an inconspicuous position in the corner.
Such Xu Jingyan was charming, elegant and funny. Bai Xiao felt that Bai Ningxuan must have really liked this outstanding man back then.
However, the trickiest thing is fate.
Bai Xiao sat among the college students and sent a text message to Yu Shaoting on his mobile phone - "I called him dad today."
The answer was a phone call from Yu Shaoting.
…
Next to the conference hall, an artificial lake was built. Bai Xiao leaned on the fence and answered Yu Shaoting's call.
She originally thought that it would be difficult to shout out "Daddy", but when she really made up her mind to shout, she found that it was actually very easy and there was nothing awkward about it.
"When do you plan to come back?" Yu Shaoting asked her there.
Bai Xiao could hear loneliness in his voice, and she knew that he had deliberately revealed it to her.
"Wait for two more days." The night breeze was blowing, and Bai Xiao looked at the college students passing by under the boulevard not far away, "In two days, I will go back to Fengcheng."
There is one more thing she wants to do.
As for what happened, Bai Xiao didn't tell Yu Shaoting for the time being, but he could guess that it was nothing more than related to the Xu family.
Before hanging up the phone, Yu Shaoting warned her again, asking her to take care of herself and the child in her belly, and to call him if anything happened.
"Yeah." Bai Xiao felt sweet and pressed the hang up button.
——————————
After the speech, Xu Jingyan did not accept his friend's invitation, but took Bai Xiao to the snack street next to the school for a late-night snack.
Considering that she was pregnant, Xu Jingyan kept a close eye on the chef while he was cooking, for fear of putting something unhygienic in there.
They were eating supper around the table like an ordinary father and daughter.
The landlady was envious of Xu Jingyan for having such a beautiful child. Xu Jingyan smiled a little silly, but more out of joy, so she ordered a lot of dishes.
Bai Xiao found that there were also young women peeking at Xu Jingyan around. It was undeniable that men of this age were very attractive, especially since Xu Jingyan had gone through some things in the past. He looked more story-telling and his temperament was more restrained and steady.
As for Su Manrong's name, none of them mentioned it all day long, but that didn't mean that this person didn't exist.
That night, Xu Jingyan was very happy. He drank a lot of wine and muttered, "I finally have a daughter." Later, he looked at Bai Xiao with drunken eyes and said, "You look more like your mother."
When he said this, Bai Xiao did not miss the hidden loss and pain in his eyes.
Bai Xiao watched him drink, and finally couldn't hold it back and asked him about the things he had with Su Manrong when he was young.
"At that time, your mother was a freshman at the School of Art. Not long after I graduated, I was working as a teaching assistant at the nearby music school. The first time I met your mother, she was carrying a floral bag. It was indeed quite rustic."
As Xu Jingyan said this, he laughed first.
But it was also the girl with rustic clothes and clean eyes who walked into his world so simply.
"I have never chased a girl. When I was young, I had to save face and couldn't ask anyone for advice. I had to find excuses every now and then to go to the art department. At that time, they all thought that I had fallen in love with another girl, and they made a fuss.
There were many mistakes. When I finally got up the courage to confess to your mother, I discovered that my good friend Zhengdong met your mother by chance. They fell in love at first sight and soon got together."
If nothing happened next, Bai Xiao thought, this would just be a story about a secret admirer buried by the years.
Bai Xiao already knew about 70% of the relationship between Yu Zhengdong and Su Manrong, but she still didn't understand something. Less than half a year after Yu Zhengdong disappeared, why did Su Manrong get together with Xu Jingyan so quickly?
"We all thought that Zhengdong had passed away. The saddest thing was your mother. At that time, Zhengdong promised to take her home to meet her parents when she came back from the mission. Who knew - one night, your mother
Both of us drank too much, and when we woke up, everything had already happened."
Bai Xiao heard more or less what happened later from other people.
"If I hadn't quarreled with your mother at that time, maybe I wouldn't have missed so much." Xu Jingyan said bitterly. After a while, he raised his head, looked at her, and murmured: "Fortunately, now, I can still
It’s too late.”
…
After returning home, Bai Xiao took a shower and lay on the bed, thinking about what Xu Jingyan said.
The so-called authority fan, did he always think that Su Manrong loved the man named Yu Zhengdong from beginning to end?
Bai Xiao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Her parents separated more than 20 years ago due to many misunderstandings. Now, their respective identities are there. One has become her sister-in-law, and the other is the uncle of her husband's previous wife.
How to untie the knot that has been tied up for so many years?
Even if you put aside all your past grudges, you can't return to your original position.
——————————
At this time, Bai Xiao fell asleep late, but she didn't know that at four o'clock in the morning, Xu Jingyan received a call from the hospital, got up and hurried there.
When she woke up in the morning, she learned from the nanny that Xu Hongyang suddenly vomited in the middle of the night, possibly because his condition had worsened, and he was pushed to the operating room.
Bai Xiao was sitting in the restaurant, unable to eat. In the empty villa, she couldn't explain her current emotions. She was a little weightless, and her heart seemed to be hanging in the air.
She knew that she was worried about this grandfather whom she had only met twice.
Bai Xiao took a taxi to the hospital. When she arrived, the Xu family, who had almost arrived, blocked the corridor. She also saw Xu Jingyan in the crowd.
He drank so much last night and came here again in the middle of the night. Bai Xiao could imagine that he might not feel well at this moment, or at least he would feel light-headed and dizzy.
When the rest of the Xu family saw Bai Xiao walking over, there was a moment of silence, and all their eyes fell on her.
Bai Xiao didn't pay attention to those looks, walked straight to Xu Jingyan, and asked him in a low voice about Xu Hongyang's situation.
"The operation has just ended. The doctor is still inside and is not letting the family members in."
Xu Jingyan's eyes were bloodshot and there were green stubble on his chin. He looked at Bai Xiao with concern: "If you want to come over, give me a call and I'll pick you up."
Bai Xiao wanted to say, how can you still drive like this?
But at this time, and with the concern for her in his eyes, Bai Xiao did not contradict him after all, but took away his car keys.
Don't let Xu Jingyan in this mental state touch the car.
…
When the doctor came out of the ward, Xu's family members had already gathered around him, asking about Xu Hongyang's current situation.
"Mr. Xu woke up just now." The doctor looked at the worried descendants of the patients and shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Xu is unwilling to receive further treatment. He is now determined to go home. If
Without chemotherapy, I might not survive two months."
"Isn't there a more conservative treatment method?" Xu Jingwen asked the doctor.
Someone followed closely and said: "Money is not an issue. Doctor, please use the best medicine to treat my grandpa. If you have any requests, just ask."
A nurse came out of the ward: "Mr. Xu said, let you all disperse. You are stuck here chattering, which seriously disturbs his rest."
The Xu family immediately fell silent, but they were unwilling to leave just like that. After all, Xu Hongyang's situation was not optimistic.
The nurse looked around and said, "By the way, who is Miss Bai Xiaobai?"
Bai Xiao, who had been silent until now, raised his head: "I am."
As soon as these words came out, other people raised their eyebrows. They didn't understand what the old man wanted to do.
"Miss Bai, Mr. Xu wants you to come in." The nurse smiled slightly and her attitude was very friendly.
After Bai Xiao went in, the rest of the Xu family wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the nurse: "Mr. Xu told me that only Miss Bai can go in alone."
Fifteen minutes later, Bai Xiao came out of the ward.
The nurse went in, quickly came out, and said happily to the doctor: "Dr. Meng, Mr. Xu just said that he will accept any subsequent treatment."
——————————
The Xu family was very surprised that Bai Xiao could convince the stubborn Xu Hongyang to accept chemotherapy.
Even Xu Jingyan was curious about what Bai Xiao said to his father.
Bai Xiao leaned against the car window and said with a smile, "Guess". Xu Jingyan rubbed his eyebrows and shook his head. He couldn't guess how she persuaded her father.
…
In fact, Bai Xiao really didn't try to persuade Xu Hongyang nicely.
Xu Hongyang was lifted off the operating table. As soon as the aftereffects of the anesthetic wore off, he felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell. Lying on the bed, he vaguely heard the words of the doctor outside, saying that if he did not accept treatment,
Less than two months to live.
During Xu Hongyang's military life, he did not allow himself to succumb to the torment of illness. He would rather go on like this than see himself become a human being or a ghost after undergoing chemotherapy.
When he heard his children and grandchildren making noise outside, he got angry and pointed at the nurse and asked her to go out and chase them all away, but in the end, he changed his mind.
He asked the nurse to call Bai Xiao in.
Xu Hongyang is not afraid of death, but he still has an unfulfilled wish, which is his youngest son's family affairs. Speaking of which, the cause of this situation lies with him.
He even wondered if getting this disease was God's punishment for him.
When Bai Xiao came in, he saw that she didn't greet him like other grandchildren. Xu Hongyang, who had just undergone surgery, was somewhat mentally fragile. He couldn't hold it back for a moment and snorted to Bai Xiao: "Don't come in if you don't want to come in. I'm sorry.
He wore a face with the intention of cursing me to death."
"Don't worry, I won't live long. You don't need to do anything. God has given a sigh of relief for you mother and daughter."
Bai Xiao looked at this self-destructive old man, nodded, and said lightly: "I also think that's the case. God is watching what people do, and God is fair. You broke up our family of three, and now it's
I’m going to let you die with your eyes open.”
The four words "I will never die with my eyes closed" stung Xu Hongyang's feet. He almost vomited a mouthful of blood, and blue veins protruded on his forehead.
He glared at Bai Xiao angrily and said: "No matter how much he says he is your biological father, you have to blame me for everything. Why are you so cruel at such a young age? He is divorced now and is alone. When he gets old, how can you bear to see him?
To the point where he has nothing to rely on?"
"Why can't you bear it?"
Bai Xiao didn't even blink when he said this: "I'm so old and homeless. I took the bowl, walked to the subway entrance, and squatted there. I shouldn't have to worry about three meals a day."
Xu Hongyang had only seen this kind of ferocity in his grandson-in-law Yu Shaoting.
At this moment, when Bai Xiao said this, he just felt that it was dark when he was close to black. How could a little girl have such a hard heart?
In the end, Xu Hongyang could only sigh and said: "I am almost dying, can't you say something nice?"
"I see that you look very good. I'm afraid you won't die soon." Bai Xiao paused and said, "You also know that it was because of you that I lost my parents since I was a child. I have been looked down upon. You want me to forgive you."
Xu Jingyan can do it too, then you have to let me get corresponding rewards."
Xu Hongyang opened his mouth, but Bai Xiao spoke first: "Don't say that I am a child of the Xu family. Are you sure that after you die, I can have this honor instead of being thought of as an illegitimate daughter? Did you originally
What I lost, I want you to return to me bit by bit with your own hands, and tell everyone about my life experience through your mouth."
"Then I'll call the others in and tell them that you are Lao Liu's child."
Bai Xiao didn't say anything bad, she just told him through actions that she was not satisfied with the proposal - she opened the door and went out.
——————————
Bai Xiao stood on the balcony and patted her cheeks. Even she didn't know how she could be so "cold-blooded" when facing Xu Hongyang.
But the most important thing is that Xu Hongyang was so angry with her that she agreed to receive treatment.
She wanted to call Yu Shaoting to tell him, but she was afraid of disturbing his work. She held her cell phone and wandered on the balcony, but in the end she didn't make a call.
Xu Jingyan took a short rest at home and then went to the hospital.
…
The nanny was cleaning the study room, and Bai Xiao passed by. She had nothing to do, so she went in to find a book to read.
She saw a photo on her desk. It was a photo of her and Jing Xi, but the angle looked like it had been taken secretly and then washed out and put in a photo frame.
There are many trophies and certificates placed in the study cabinet, and a violin in a piano case is placed next to it.
"The nanny next door said that my husband is a very good violinist, but since I started working at home, I have never seen him play the violin." The nanny said while cleaning the table.
Bai Xiao opened the cabinet door and took out the violin.
Some genes can still be inherited, like her innate love of music.
Just as Bai Xiao took the violin in her hand, footsteps came from the study door. She suddenly looked back and saw Liang Huizhen, who also saw her.
Liang Huizhen came upstairs and saw Bai Xiao's back holding the violin. She was in a trance for a moment. That look was very similar to Shuyuan's appearance in her early twenties when she was practicing piano in the study. But Bai Xiao's face turned around also made Liang Huizhen confused.
Huizhen gathered her thoughts and briefly explained her purpose.
"What the old man means is to let you go with me to attend the Lu family's wedding in the evening."
Bai Xiao was surprised, and Liang Huizhen continued: "Please pack up and go to the beauty center with me first. There are clothes there, so you don't need to prepare them."
…
Bai Xiao will feel uncomfortable when facing Liang Huizhen, why not Liang Huizhen?
But this was personally designated by the old man. She, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, must personally bring Bai Xiao to attend. Although the father-in-law did not say it explicitly, the people in the Xu family more or less understood that Xu Hongyang wanted to recognize Bai Xiao, and so
I want her to enter the Xu family in a legitimate way.
Bai Xiao actually didn't want to go, but Liang Huizhen added: "If you don't go, I have no way to explain to the old man."
…
Although Liang Huizhen's attitude towards Bai Xiao was lukewarm, she would not deliberately make things difficult for her. She took her to dress up and changed into a high-waist skirt.
The shoes are three centimeters thick heels.
Liang Huizhen also told the makeup artist that she was pregnant, so the makeup she used was very careful and very light.
When getting on the bus, Bai Xiao saw Liang Huizhen carrying a pair of flat shoes. Liang Huizhen didn't explain specifically, but Bai Xiao wondered narcissistically, was it a spare pair for her?
Regarding the situation of the Lu family, Liang Huizhen briefly talked to Bai Xiao in the car.
The person getting married today is the third son of the Lu family. He is getting married for the second time. The bride is also the daughter of a bureau chief in the capital. The wedding was held in a five-star hotel.
Liang Huizhen said and glanced at Bai Xiao: "Do you remember everything?"
Bai Xiao nodded. She wasn't very interested in these things, but she listened to them all. She didn't expect to become a highlight, but she couldn't become a drag either.
However, there was one thing that Bai Xiaolai had not thought of before - that she would see Xu Zhenning at the wedding banquet.

I would like to say something weakly, um, are there any friends who are willing to vote for me? It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to. It’s a voluntary principle. o(n_n)o~ With the latest version of the client, one monthly vote becomes three.
What I mean is, uh-huh, you know. You don’t have to use the monthly ticket that comes with the wallet. It’s too expensive and it’s not necessary. It makes my body hurt when I look at it, hahaha. Finally, I will leave a very solemn conclusion: these few months
