Chapter 7 (II)

Zhou Biyun's words didn't make Bai Qi react much, the humiliation was much more intense than her words, he was used to it, the copper wall was impregnable, and he had already been desensitized, so he just twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, expressing his disdain for this attack, but Chen Yi's face was pale, her mother on one side, and her lover on the other, she had already been caught in an embarrassing position, and her mother's mouth was open-mouthed, seemingly to win her over, but it was pushing her to the cold river that did not land at both ends.
Chen Yi gently put his palm on Bai Qi's lap under the table, signaling that he was on the same front with him, this unconscious action made the ice on Bai Qi's face also subside, he reached out and pinched Chen Yi's hand, tightened it, and faced Zhou Biyun with a smile, " Auntie, maybe I'm really born bad, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that even if I go to murder all mankind, I won't hurt Chen Yi's hair, I have a very casual attitude towards many things, you also know the situation of our family, after experiencing ups and downs, I also think that people come to this world mainly to have fun, but I am serious about Chen Yi, very serious, she can play with me, I won't play with her, don't worry. β
His firm attitude eased Zhou Biyun's anger, but her brows did not stretch because of this, she sighed and said, "It's so beautiful, just give her a home, although I don't understand your young people's attitude towards feelings now, but, mutual respect is always the premise of everything, you can not want children, but we still want it, she has loved to hold a doll in her arms since she was a child, and put the TV cover at home on her head as a wedding dressββ" Thinking of her young daughter, her brows finally straightened, and she looked at Chen Yi with emotion and said, "Do you remember? When you were a child, you often told me that you wanted a son and a daughter when you grew up, that you would get married at the age of twenty, and that you wanted a happy home. β
She was also telling the truth, Bai Qi knew too much that Chen Yi "hated to marry", so he let go of her hand.
His unconscious hesitation made Chen Yi's heart feel bitter, but how could she blame him for "vacillating"? He insisted very much, he just didn't want to get married, and she was not firm, obviously looking forward to married life, but she chose to fall in love with a man who didn't want to start a family.
Chen Yi didn't know if it was to persuade Zhou Biyun or to comfort Bai Qi, no matter what, her smile and tone were like catkins in the wind, so light that they were weightless and annoying, she smiled and said, "How can what the child said be taken seriously?" When I grew up, I realized that this society doesn't care about what I want, whether I can get what you want, it has nothing to do with your efforts, Mom, life is very complicated, I can't control it, you see, just like you can't control when I get married, when I have children, or whether I will fall in love with someone who doesn't want to get married and have children. β
"So you just want to get married and have children, right?" Zhou Biyun grasped the point of her daughter's words, and asked reluctantly, "That's right?"
Chen Yi's silence made Bai Qi stand in the position of the villain, and their mother and daughter seemed to be of the same heart at this moment, while Zhou Biyun, who saved the game, raised his chin, looked at Bai Qi provocatively, and confidently forced him to choose one of the two test papers, "Bai Qi, your beautiful words are so full, it's really better to act practically, you have to be really good to her and cherish her, shouldn't you fulfill her wishes?"
"Otherwise?" Bai Qi asked rhetorically, "I'm not going to get married, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Biyun chuckled, "What's not, in the end, it's still childish, discuss, no one is willing to give up a step, don't let it, break up in two shots, don't delay, Yiyi find a responsible Gu family man to marry, you go to find a little girl who is willing to accompany you for a lifetime to continue playing the world." β
The atmosphere of the scene was solemn for a while, the waiter observed from a distance for a long time, and finally took advantage of the "truce" of the guests at this table, and began to serve the dishes one after another, when Bai Qi moved slightly, one was responsible for serving the dishes, and the other was responsible for reporting the name of the dish, as if they had seen the gunpowder primer ignited, and hurriedly retreated.
"I'm delaying you. Bai Qi turned his face to look at Chen Yi, his voice was soft, and he asked with a flirtatious expression, "Do you want to break up with me?"
He was pretending to be relaxed, Chen Yi could clearly see a watershed on his face, half of it was indifferent, half of it was completely cold and biting, he was not sure, he was hesitating, he was pretending to be himself, maybe he was really too badly injured, he never showed his true anger and vulnerability again, but Chen Yi could see his fear, and his vulnerable sense of security, he was not as strong as he thought he was.
"Don't break up. Chen Yi smiled softly, and her fluttering tone made it even more clear that the answer was unquestionable, "As long as you don't mention breaking up, I will never break up with you." β
Bai Qi grinned, the triumphant energy returned, he enthusiastically pushed all the expensive dishes on the table in front of Zhou Biyun's eyes, and said with a smile that was victorious and finalized, "Auntie, you can love each other without getting married, and you can live a good life, don't worry about it." β
Zhou Biyun glanced at Chen Yi and saw that she had no intention of continuing the discussion, and had already fallen into the enemy's arms, and she was also tired, so she reluctantly swallowed her words and picked up a piece of sushi with chopsticks.
After chewing for less than three minutes, Zhou Biyun couldn't help but ask, "Then what are your plans in the future?"
"What do you need? Isn't it good now?" Bai Qi said, "Work hard, live well, and continue to earn money." β
Zhou Biyun was very dissatisfied with this answer, she put down her chopsticks, "Don't talk about these nonsense, I'm asking, plan, do you know the plan? The two of you are also sixty years old, my family Yiyi does not have a house under her name, you don't want children, and there is no one to support her in the future, how can I rest assured that her income level is concerned? When she is old, you kick her, anyway, there is no marriage certificate, there is nowhere to reason, and when she sleeps on the street, I can't close my eyes underground." β
"Auntie, is this, do you want to sell your daughter?" Bai Qi read the meaning of her words, also put down the chopsticks, leaned back with his body, and raised his eyebrows with some disdain and asked, "Then you make a price?"
Obviously, they were discussing themselves, but as if they had nothing to do with themselves in the whole process, Chen Yi, who was hanging in the window, couldn't help blushing with shame, and hurriedly called "Mom-" at Zhou Biyun, who was about to speak, signaling her not to say more, which embarrassed her.
Zhou Biyun ate sushi depressedly, venting the evil fire on the taste of the ingredients, for a while he was fishy, and for a while he was disgusted that the shrimp was not shaved, and finally put down the chopsticks, "No, I can't eat this rice." She grabbed her bag and stood up, and walked straight out the door, "If you want to eat, eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk." β
"Mom!" Chen reflexively bounced up, she glanced at Bai Qi, and after the eyes of the two froze in an anxious posture for a few seconds, she still chose to chase out.

The mother and daughter came to the street, Chen Yi tentatively took Zhou Biyun's hand, she didn't dodge, but her muscles tightened, and she caught her hand with her elbow, just like the two of them used to go shopping together to buy clothes, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded her, "Mom, don't be angry, I'm really good now, and Bai Qi hasn't treated me badly." β
"I thought I was happy? I'm old, angry, and I'm sorry, I can't do it anymore. She looked at Chen Yidao complainingly, "You said it yourself, are you two in an equal relationship? Look at his attitude, does he respect you? You are almost on your knees." β
Chen Yi smiled, "What you said is a bit exaggerated, he didn't lock me up, threatened me, I was in a hurry to like him, and if I didn't like it one day, I would also turn my face and leave, and it was an equal relationship with him." β
"You like him, you can accommodate him if he doesn't want to get married, he likes you, why can't he get married for you? and didn't ask him to have children, and it wasn't you who gave birth to children when the time came, and I don't know what he was arrogant about, he was indeed tall and good-looking, but you weren't bad, if you really wanted to talk about the appearance score, you could surpass him by two points. Without Bai Qi present, Zhou Biyun couldn't care about creating any reasonable image of an elder, and he gushed endlessly, "Also, although we are not a big family in terms of family background, at least we are innocent and clean, what about him, his parents are in prison, how can this be a good object, it is embarrassing to say it, but you are still fascinated, it is really a blessing for his eight lifetimes, and he doesn't know how to cherish it, the more he talks, the more angry he becomes." β
Seeing her raise her hand and rub her chest, Chen Yi quickly folded her hand and rubbed it for her, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to answer, as if she had really done something wrong.
Zhou Biyun said that when she was emotional, tears appeared in her eyes, "Which mother is willing to see her baby daughter love a man without dignity? β
Chen Yi was infected by her grievances, and also felt that she was unproductive, and she was about to be thirty years old, so she couldn't take care of her life properly, and even asked her mother to shed tears for her when she was so old, she turned her face to look at the shops along the street, and diverted the topic, "Are you hungry?"
Zhou Biyun looked at an old Beijing mixed sauce noodle shop, wiped her eyes, and was coquettish like a child, "I want to eat noodles." β
Chen Yi laughed at her, "You don't eat such expensive Japanese food, run out to eat mixed sauce noodles." β
Zhou Biyun tilted his head and lightly touched Chen Yi's head, "I'm happy, that kid just invited me to eat the Manchu Han full banquet, and it was not as good as my daughter inviting me to eat a bowl of noodles to make me happy." β
Chen Yi interrupted her, "I didn't say that you were treated, you are your mother, of course you pay for it." β
Zhou Biyun burst into tears and smiled, "Debt collector." β
