Chapter 197: You Won't Be My Adoptive Mother Too?
Sheng Xia knew that his mother was calling, just to care about whether he had gained anything today.
Since he was still driving, he answered the phone and told his mother that he was preparing to go home, and he would talk more about it when he got home.
β¦β¦
Wu Xiang is depressed enough these days.
I didn't see the figure of Midsummer today, and I don't know what he's busy with.
After the last time she said those bold words, she had been waiting for Midsummer to punish her or something, however, she had waited for days without any movement.
She wanted to call Yan Yufei and ask how she was doing. However, she was worried that Sheng Xia would say something in front of her, so she didn't dare to call her.
Also, last weekend, Wang Suya clamored to go to Yanyufei's house to play, Wu Xiang found an excuse, and finally Wang Suya dispelled the idea.
During dinner tonight, Wu Xiang deliberately mentioned: "Midsummer has been running outside for the past few days, I don't know what is going on with him?"
Cai Ruoyuan didn't understand her intentions at all, she didn't think about it, and said it casually. "Who knows his!"
Wang Suya said: "In the middle of summer, he should be busy meeting customers. β
Wu Xiang smiled faintly, "When you see customers, you don't need to come to the company all day." β
Wang Suya said that she did not understand the life of their rich people. "They know a lot of people in the middle of summer, so ah, they naturally have more things to do. β
Wu Xiang knew that they didn't know, so he didn't talk anymore.
β¦β¦
Rushing back to the Sheng family in midsummer, Aunt Xiao had already prepared dinner.
Mother Sheng instructed Aunt Xiao to prepare the meal and serve it to the table.
Only then did Midsummer remember that she had to send a message back to Yan Yufei, lest she would wait for him at home again.
Sheng Ma squinted, but she didn't see what Midsummer was doing. "What are you doing, you?"
Midsummer looked up and smiled, "Oh." I said hello to Yufei and told her that I wouldn't be going home for dinner, otherwise, she would be waiting stupidly for me to go back at home and not eat. β
Sheng Ma knew that he hadn't eaten a good meal during this time, and she knew that he would come back today, so she asked Aunt Xiao to prepare the meals in advance, all according to Sheng Xia's preferences.
Sitting at the dining table, I was surprised to look at a large table of sumptuous delicacies in the middle of summer. "So many dishes, what about the New Year. β
Aunt Xiao smiled. "In the middle of summer, your mother and grandmother read that you haven't eaten well these days, so they specially prepared them for you. β
Midsummer was moved. "Aunt Xiao, it's really hard for you. Next time, don't do that. β
Grandma shouted, "You need to eat more nutritious vegetables in the middle of summer." The body matters. Look, you've lost a lot of weight. β
Grandpa also said: "In the middle of summer, you either run outside all day, or worry about it in the company, you must pay attention to your body, without a good body, no matter how great your dream is, it is also a fantasy." β
Dad Sheng didn't need to ask Midsummer, he could guess that he had found nothing today. However, he is not in a hurry. Because he knows that some things must need a process, and he can't rush it.
Mother Sheng didn't even mention today's matter, she knew that in front of the two old men, she had to keep a secret.
After eating, Sheng Ma gave Sheng Xia a look, she and Sheng Dad entered the study, and Sheng Xia also entered the study.
After sitting down in the study, Sheng Ma asked, "How is the situation today?"
Midsummer smiled bitterly, "It's not much better than last time." β
Dad Sheng smiled, "That means there is still progress." β
Midsummer had no choice but to truthfully report to them the specific situation today. "Today we entered the house without her looking, and without saying a word, she began to chase us away again. Yufei's parents kept apologizing to her, but it didn't work. She always felt that we were going to fight her house again. β
Sheng Ma smiled. "It's not that others think. You're here to fight people's ideas. You can't blame people for this. β
Sheng Xia continued: "I explained a lot to her, but she didn't listen. Later, her man came back, and like her, he opened his mouth to drive us away. He also said that we were uninvited guests, trespassing on people's houses, and calling the police or something. β
Sheng Ma listened, but she couldn't stop laughing.
"You are indeed an uninvited guest, I haven't had contact with anyone for so many years, and suddenly I have something to ask for, if it were me, I would also curse people like this. Well. Breaking into someone else's house without their permission is yes, it is a trespass. Others didn't call the police, and they were already merciful. β
Midsummer rolled her eyes in anger. Belch. This is said like someone else's mother. Why are you on the same side as others? If you don't talk to me, you don't talk about it, and you count me wrong.
"Mom, you won't be my adoptive mother too, will you?"
Dad Sheng was amused by his words.
Sheng Ma raised her fist and smashed it towards Midsummer. "I'm telling the truth, I'm being honest. Look at you, how did you talk to your mother!"
Midsummer shouted, "Then why are you talking for others?"
Sheng's mother said: "Do I have to go to the hospital to check, didn't the doctor really make a mistake for me back then, and raised someone else's child." β
"Mom, can you be serious, look, I've been tormented enough by their family today. β
Midsummer began to complain in front of his mother. "I was caught in my leg by the woman when she closed the door, and it hurt me so badly. β
Hearing that his leg was caught by the door, Sheng Ma hurriedly bent down to lift Midsummer's trouser leg to see how it hurt him.
Midsummer doesn't want his to expose his lies. It was a fact that his leg was caught in the door, but it wasn't as serious as he had described.
So, he quickly stopped the fucking action.
"Aren't you badly hurt? let me see, no. β
"It's a lot better now. It's been a day. β
Dad Sheng sighed, "Then you have to go on several trips." That's right. Did you tell them about Yu Fei's illness today?"
"Yes. It's all said. Yufei and her parents asked them for a favor, and finally said that they wanted to ask their daughter for a favor. Do you know what they say?"
"What else can I say?" asked Sheng Ma.
Sheng Xia smiled faintly, "They said that we wanted to beat their daughter again, and they also said that they had been fooled once, and they would never be fooled for the second time." Alas...... This enmity is as deep as the sea. β
Sheng Ma smiled disappreδΈι¨ly. "Robbed someone else's daughter, can this hatred not be deep? Alas, I said, how did Yufei's parents come up with this trick back then. β
Sheng's father said: "It's not because I haven't had children, I'm afraid of the discussion of the neighbors. They had to take precautions. If they really raised other people's children, and the children ran away to their biological mother's house, wouldn't they be at a loss? β
Midsummer nodded, "That's right. That's what they thought back then. Today, they all spoke out, apologized to them, and asked for their forgiveness, but they wouldn't accept it. β
Sheng Ma suddenly remembered that they had brought gifts to that family. "And what about the gifts you brought?"
Midsummer shook her head, indicating that it was difficult to explain. "The last time I left, the woman chased after me and threw the gift I had brought with her in front of me. In the end, seeing that I was gone, she still picked it up and went home. Today, they came out with the last gift. I said that I would never take back the gifts I had given. They're out of the way. β
Dad Sheng knew that he would not give up, and believed that he had the ability to convince them.
"Don't be afraid! Go a few more times, there's no reason why they shouldn't help. In the past, other matchmakers came to the door to propose, not that they broke the threshold of other people, and finally succeeded. β
Sheng Ma thought his analogy was funny. "It's two different things. Asking for help, and the nature of the proposal, is not the same. β
"What's the difference. Speaking of which, there is nothing that cannot be done unless you are willing to work hard. Dad Sheng raised his chin towards Midsummer, "I'm not wrong, am I?"
"Hmm. Dad, you have a point. β
Dad Sheng asked, "Then when are you going to go next time?"
"In a few days. I'm going to have to get two days of rest. Dealing with that kind of person is more complicated than dealing with customers. Every time I go, I don't know if there is a bottom. As a result, I went away happily and returned disappointed. β
Dad Sheng smiled. "If you need me to do anything, just ask. β
Midsummer said "um", he saw that the time was not early, and stood up, "I should go back." β
When Sheng's mother sent him out, she hurriedly asked: "Yufei's parents didn't mention this to her, did they?"
"Nope. β
After a pause, Midsummer said again: "I don't think they should be so confused." β
As he walked home, he felt a mess in his head.
He lowered the window, and the cold air blew in, and he felt much clearer.
It's so much to think about what you've experienced this year. There are warm and sweet, there are sad and painful, and there are also bitterness that can never be looked forward to......
Think about what Wu Xiang said when he entered his office that day.
He thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't understand why she said those words. Was she intentional or unintentional?
He couldn't make an accurate judgment.
However, Wu Xiang knew about Yan Yufei's condition, and it was not false at all. Because she herself said that she was suspicious at first because Yan Yufei's ward was in the hematology department. Later, she went to the nurses' station to inquire.
Of course, everything Wu Xiang is already clear.
Midsummer also observed, as if Cai Ruoyuan and Wang Suya didn't know. Presumably, Wu Xiang did not reveal these things to others. It seems that she still knows what to say and what not to say.
Thinking of this, he also had to thank Wu Xiang for reminding him that day.
For this reason, he also knew that Wu Xiang should have checked a lot of information before saying those words to him.
In those days, he was depressed and didn't think of any miracles at all. All he knew was to believe in the science and what the doctors said.
At the same time, he also had to admire Wu Xiang's awesomeness. She should have known Yan Yufei's family details very early, otherwise, she would not have rashly made this assumption.
So, when he questioned Wu Xiang that day, he felt that it was too undeserved. She had no other ill intentions, just good intentions.
Back at home, Yan Yufei was still sitting in the living room waiting for him.
"Why don't you go to bed earlier?"
"You haven't come back yet, how can I bear to go to sleep!"
He sat down next to her and touched her head, "Fool, in the future, I won't come back, don't wait for me any longer." You know what?"
Yan Yufei said "um".
Sheng Xia asked, "Have your parents called you in the past two days?"
"Nope. She shook her head, "Why did you suddenly ask about this in the middle of summer?"
Midsummer smiled casually, "Oh. It's nothing. I'll just ask. β
