On the way back to the hospital after leaving the prison, Fu Min hesitated for a moment before telling Bai Xiao about Xu Jingyan's plans to live abroad in the future.
Bai Xiao didn't react much. The last time she came to the capital, Xu Jingyan mentioned the decision he made.
When arriving at the hospital, Bai Xiao first visited Xu Hongyang.
Fu Min told Bai Xiao that after the first chemotherapy, Xu Hongyang's mental state was not very good and he couldn't sleep last night.
When Bai Xiao entered, the old man in the bed had his eyes closed. The nurse said that the old man had just fallen asleep, so she stood at the end of the bed for a while before quietly leaving the ward.
The stab wound on Liang Huizhen's abdomen is slowly healing.
In the past few days, Bai Xiao went to see her twice. Although it was just for a short while and she didn't say anything, Liang Huizhen didn't necessarily pay much attention to her, but at least she wouldn't reject her. Even the rest of the Xu family also looked at her.
Describe Liang Huizhen’s change in attitude towards Bai Xiao.
Regarding the recording pen, Liang Huizhen did not tell anyone else except her husband.
Bai Xiao went to see Liang Huizhen, and she said casually: "I heard that you will go back to Fengcheng tomorrow. Let's go to the old house to stay tonight and have a meal by the way."
…
Bai Xiao returned to the villa. Xu Jingyan had stayed up all night and had already gotten up. He happened to come downstairs and saw her: "Why didn't you call me so I could pick you up?"
"You can get a taxi right in front of the hospital." Bai Xiao saw that there were still faint bloodshot eyes under his eyes.
Before she left Liang Huizhen's ward, Liang Huizhen said to her: "If you can go back to the Xu family's old house, even if you just have a meal, I will be very happy."
"Are you hungry? Let Auntie make some snacks for you." After saying that, Xu Jingyan made a move to go to the kitchen and ask the nanny to make something for her.
"I'm not hungry."
Bai Xiao stopped him and took his arm: "On the contrary, Dad, neither breakfast nor lunch were delicious."
As long as Bai Xiao calls him 'Dad', Xu Jingyan will immediately listen to her in everything. Looking at her rosy face, although she is fine now, after the kidnapping incident, he attaches great importance to Bai Xiao's personal safety and will not take it lightly.
Let her go out alone.
"I'll go back to Fengcheng tomorrow. I'll have nothing to do later. I'll go out with you for a walk and bring back some specialties from the capital."
Since the night before yesterday, Xu Jingyan has been bringing northern specialties to his home one after another. The nanny said that there is no room for them in the refrigerator.
Overnight, he seemed to have turned into a nagging old man, worrying about his children all the time.
Bai Xiao suddenly said: "Dad, I want to go back to my old house for dinner tonight."
Xu Jingyan didn't come back to his senses for a moment.
"is it not OK?"
"...It's just a little sudden." Xu Jingyan was afraid that she would misunderstand and think that her family would not welcome her: "I will call right away and ask them to buy more food for the evening."
Seeing him overjoyed and running to make a phone call, Bai Xiao sat on the sofa and didn't deliberately stop him.
At this moment she believed Liang Huizhen's words.
——————————
Xu Hongyang and Liang Huizhen were still in the hospital. There were not many people at the Xu family's dinner. Most of the Xu family members were working out of town.
At the dinner table, Xu Jingyan was very happy. He had never been a drinker, so he and Xu Jingwen drank a whole bottle of red wine. He looked at Bai Xiao with a blushing face and a pleased look in his eyes.
After the meal, Bai Xiao took the slightly drunk Xu Jingyan out for a walk.
The sky was getting dark and the evening breeze was blowing. Bai Xiao noticed that Xu Jingyan kept looking at him and touched his face: "Are there any rice grains on my face?"
Xu Jingyan shook his head and looked at her with gentle eyes: "I'm just too happy."
"I never thought that I would have a child of my own in this life."
His contented look fell into Bai Xiao's eyes, making her a little sad. She took the initiative to hold his arm and said, "Isn't it done now?"
"Yes, now we have it." He nodded and smiled a little silly.
"If you don't want to leave me, buy a house in Fengcheng. When you miss me, you can live there for a while. It's not a bad idea to live there all year round."
Xu Jingyan thought he was hallucinating. Bai Xiao met his gaze, pursed her lips, and said, "You don't need to go abroad. You are here in the capital. In fact... it's pretty good."
"..." Xu Jingyan was stunned because of Bai Xiao's words.
Bai Xiao let go of his arm. There were children playing skateboards in the square in front of her. She looked at those cute children. After a while, she turned her head and smiled: "Those intricate relationships, to me now, will not matter."
No matter how caring you are." So, you don't need to hide so far away...
That night, although Xu Jingyan said nothing in front of her, Bai Xiao knew that at least his determination was no longer so firm.
——————————
Bai Xiao bought a flight ticket for the afternoon of the next day.
In the morning, she got up early and took Xu Jingyan to the barber shop to dye her hair. In fact, Xu Jingyan was not dissatisfied with her appearance.
"I don't want others to say that it was my grandfather who went to the airport to see me off!" Bai Xiao pushed him back onto the chair.
After leaving the barber shop and passing by Tiananmen Square, Bai Xiao asked passers-by to use their mobile phones to take a photo of her and Xu Jingyan.
Bai Xiao looked at the photo on the phone screen: "I will send it to you via Bluetooth later."
This was their first more formal father-daughter photo, and Xu Jingyan cherished it very much. After it was uploaded to his mobile phone, he was afraid of losing it, so he specially backed up several photos.
"If you are in China in the future, we can go traveling together. There should be many scenic spots where you can take photos."
Xu Jingyan looked at Bai Xiao beside him, who intentionally or unintentionally persuaded him to stay in the country. He did not accompany her to grow up. When she appeared in front of him, she had grown into a slim and beautiful girl. He had regrets and regrets, but he was also happy with his
The child looks like this.
She was well educated, even though her parents were not around since she was a child.
As for settling in the country... he has thought about it, but not now, but he believes that one day, he will return to this land.
…
Xu Jingyan sent Bai Xiao to the airport. When she was in the waiting hall, she sent a text message to Yu Shaoting.
At 4:48 pm, the plane landed at Fengcheng Airport.
Bai Xiao saw Yu Shaoting at the exit. Just like every time she returned from a long journey, he was always waiting there. Silently, it was the harbor where she finally returned.
Yu Shaoting officially resigned from his position as president of Donglin this morning and joined the board of directors as a director who receives annual dividends and occasionally attends meetings.
Bai Xiao understood that he would leave Donglin, more or less because of himself.
She couldn't contact He Huan, so she had to call Qin Shousheng and tell him that she might have caused Yu Shaoting to lose his job.
"Cunning Rabbit Sanku, do you really think Yu Shaoting will lose his job so easily?"
Qin Shousheng reminded her that Yu Shaoting was a businessman, and what are the characteristics of a businessman? He would not destroy any business, and he must have thought about his next move before resigning.
Yu Shaoting has more time to stay at home, although most of the time, he stays in front of his laptop and doesn't know what he is busy with.
Bai Xiao's belly is more obvious.
On the third day after returning from the capital, she woke up in the morning and felt fetal movement, and the baby in her belly kicked her.
However, Yu Shaoting squatted at her feet and listened all morning, but there was no result.
She couldn't help but tease him. He must have been too cruel to his brother on weekdays, so that the child in his belly was already afraid of his father before he was born.
…
A week later, Yu Shaoting told Bai Xiao that Xu Zhenning's case had made new progress. Due to the high efficiency of the public security organs, it had been transferred to the procuratorate. If the evidence was sufficient, it would not take long for a trial to begin.
"Also, Xia Lan has agreed to divorce Uncle Jingyan." Yu Shaoting suddenly added.
Bai Xiao looked at him in surprise. When she was in the capital, Xu Ruiling told her that Xia Lan was determined not to sign and planned to drag Xu Jingyan to death.
What made Xia Lan suddenly change her original intention?
Yu Shaoting hugged her and sat together on the sofa chair on the balcony: "I heard that last night, Lu Chongyang booked a revolving restaurant and flew thousands of roses from Bulgaria to propose to Xia Lan. Although the Lu family
Bian objected fiercely, but he still seemed to give away the diamond ring unswervingly."
What Bai Xiao couldn't understand was that Xia Lan actually agreed to the proposal of an old man.
In order to show his sincerity to Xia Lan, Lu Chongyang also tried every means to open up many relationships and helped Xu Zhenning obtain "bail pending trial".
"The greater the hope for her now, the greater the disappointment when the verdict is finally pronounced," Yu Shaoting said.
…
Since the kidnapping incident, Mrs. Yu has become more convinced of Buddhism and even traveled thousands of miles to famous temples in other provinces to beg for a string of blessed beads for Bai Xiao.
Because of the good confidentiality work, the news that the Yu family's daughter-in-law was kidnapped was not leaked.
Mrs. Yu learned from Aunt Li that Bai Xiao suddenly had cramps in her calves one night. Yu Shaoting held her feet and rubbed her calves for most of the night. The next day, in the pouring rain, he came to Qinyuan with his handbag on his arm.
, don’t worry until you make sure Bai Xiao and the child are safe.
The old lady told Bai Xiao what the fortune teller said when Yu San was a child, that he was destined to have no children. Finally, Bai Xiao followed the old lady in reciting those Buddhist scriptures.
When Chief of Staff Yu found out, he called back and scolded Mrs. Yu severely.
