Bai Xiao heard the news about Xia Lan again, and at that time, there were still three days before the wedding.

After Xu Ruiling confirmed the wedding date, she rushed over from the capital the next day, accompanied by Fu Min, who came to help with the wedding.

Xia Lan's matter, Bai Xiao learned from Fu Min's mouth.

"But fortunately, she divorced your father in order to prove it with Lu Chongyang, otherwise, maybe she would be coming back now."

Fu Min said that Lu Chongyang suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized, and he was found in Xia Lan's bed in the morning.

"If he is younger, Tong Guò treatment may slowly recover, but he is almost over the age of old, and he is not restrained on weekdays," Lu Chongyang's private life is chaotic, in the capital circle, basically everyone knows it, and Fu Min did not hide it from Bai Xiao: "I guess, I have to spend the next few days in a wheelchair." ”

“…… Bowl"

Bai Xiao had a relationship with Lu Chongyang, when she participated in the Lu family's wedding, she was childish, smiling, and about the same age as Xu Hongyang, she couldn't imagine that the arrogant Xia Lan suddenly changed his mind for such an old man and agreed to divorce Xu Jingyan.

Fu Min couldn't help but sigh: "Some things are really destined in the dark." ”

In Xia Lan's life, he has done so many hurtful things for Xu Liu, even if he has reformed himself for more than ten years, he still fell to this point in the end.

"And what about her now?" Bai Xiao asked about Xia Lan.

Fu Min: "Accompanying me in the hospital, no one wants Lu Chongyang to be safe and sound more than her, they have just received the certificate for less than three days, and the Lu family did not agree to Lu Chongyang's remarriage at a young age, and Lu Chongyang had this accident again, it is conceivable that Xia Lan's situation in the Lu family is not easy now." ”

……

Xia Lan's situation is not only unpleasant, it can be described as 'dark'.

Not to mention that Lu Chongyang was suddenly paralyzed, but just because Lu Chongyang was paralyzed on her bed, Lu Chongyang's children took the handle and said it unabashedly outside the ward, which made Xia Lan suffer countless fingers, and what made her vomit blood even more was that Lu Chongyang's will did not have her spouse's name.

Mrs. Lu Si couldn't get used to Xia Lan the most, Xu Zhenning was no longer pestering her baby son, and as a result, Xia Lan's name was printed on her household registration book.

It was also Mrs. Lu Si who told Xia Lan in the process of cynicism, at that time, Lu Chongyang tried to disagree with the children of the Lu family, and in order to marry Xia Lan, he specially promised that after he returned to the West, he would not give Xia Lan a cent of the property under his name, Lu Chongyang made this promise, naturally not to beware of Xia Lan, but precisely for the so-called 'true love'.

When Xia Lan heard the word 'true love', he turned his head to look at the sleeping old man on the bed, only feeling extremely ironic.

Now, the children of the Lu family will never allow her to file for divorce.

The second half of her life has to be spent taking care of Lu Chongyang, who has had a stroke, thinking of Xu Zhenning, who is still waiting for Lu Chongyang to find a famous lawyer, Xia Lan didn't mention it, this woman who has always been calm and strong, fainted.

……

Bai Xiao listened to Fu Min talk about the current situation in the capital.

Fu Min said that Xia Lan is now too busy to take care of himself, Lu Chongyang has fallen again, and Xu Zhening has even extinguished the last little hope, just waiting to sit through the prison.

"That afternoon, I went to the mall with my colleague and happened to meet Xu Zhenning, who was released on bail pending trial, and her mental state was not good."

What Fu Min didn't say directly was that she even suspected that Xu Zhening would go crazy after the court's verdict was announced.

Without a tough family backstage, her mother has to take care of an elderly man who has had a stroke, and in prison, all that awaits Xu Zhenning is endless despair.

Although Bai Xiao did not sympathize with Xu Zhening's punishment by the law, he couldn't help frowning when he thought about this kind of prison life.

Too gloomy, sooner or later it will push a person to the edge of a cliff......

――――――――――――――

On the first day after Xu Ruiling and Fu Min arrived in Fengcheng, Mrs. Yu invited them to her home, but they were politely refused, and they did not go to Xu Heng's house to live, but chose to live in a hotel next to the compound, because it was convenient to discuss the wedding arrangements with the old lady.

Bai Xiao didn't force them.

The day after returning from the temple, Yu Shaoting took her and Jingxi to Liyang, stayed there for one night, and then took her grandmother to Fengcheng.

In Shanghu Village, every family knows that Zhou Aihua's granddaughter is married to a powerful wealthy businessman named Yu Shaoting.

This is all thanks to Yu Jingxi's stinky fart bragging.

Yu Shaoting was not unhappy, but the old man took Bai Xiao's hand and asked her: "In this way, will Xiao Shao be unhappy?" ”

Generally, people who are really powerful and wealthy like to keep a low profile.

Grandma didn't want to make some unhappy things when she was about to have a wedding.

Bai Xiao held his grandmother's hand, knowing that his grandmother was thinking about herself, her heart warmed, and she said softly: "He won't, besides, if you want to be angry, you will also go to his son." ”

"You kid ......" Grandma was amused by her and sighed: "I'm afraid that your uncle will take the name of Xiaoshao or the Yu family and the Xu family and then fake the tiger outside." ”

Speaking of Bai Qiuhua, Bai Xiao hadn't seen him and Wu Xiumei for a long time, after that interview with One Weekly Magazine.

"For your uncle, it's only to blame that back then, your grandfather and I didn't find a good daughter-in-law for him."

Grandma's tone was helpless and remorseful, but after all, he was a son, and now that he was missing, he couldn't help but show worry, although Bai Xiao didn't like Bai Qiuhua's family's practices, but he didn't have any deep hatred, and put his hand on the old man's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll let Shaoting inquire in two days." ”

As soon as I arrived in Fengcheng, my grandmother proposed to meet Mrs. Yu, and the two talked for a long time before my grandmother left the compound with a smile.

On the way to Qinyuan, the old man said to Bai Xiao in a serious voice: "Shaoting's mother is a good mother-in-law, you must honor their two elders well in the future." ”

Bai Xiao nodded, because of this advice, inexplicably, his eyes were wet and red.

――――――――――――――――

During the whole wedding process, the busiest person was not the groom or the bride, but Mrs. Yu.

Every time Mrs. Yu does something related to a wedding, she will definitely call Bai Xiao to report, for fear that she will make her own decisions and not meet Bai Xiao's wishes.

Bai Xiao has no experience in this area, and always says, 'Mom, you can just watch it'.

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she became happier and happier, and her daughter-in-law's attitude towards herself was definitely the highest level of trust.

In addition to the wedding dress customized by the Milanese designer, Mrs. Yu asked the wedding dress center to make three sets of dresses to wear when toasting with the guests.

Yu Yiwei has been discharged from the hospital, and she just pursed the corners of her mouth about the upcoming happy event at home, and she didn't react at all.

Because of the unknown mother-daughter relationship, Su Manrong was excited, and she tried hard to restrain herself, sparing no effort to help Mrs. Yu.

Bai Xiao received a call from the old lady asking her to go to the compound to try on the dress.

Standing on the second floor, Bai Xiao looked at the elders who were busy with their marriages in the living room, and they were still a little uncomfortable that they would be the heroines of the wedding in a few days.

All the wedding cards have been sent out.

The wedding photos on the wedding card were taken by Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting temporarily, the set is very simple, but the bride's smile is beautiful, and the groom is also handsome.

……

On the night when he first got the wedding card, Yu Shaoting wrote in the study until midnight.

Bai Xiao was also startled when he accidentally saw the list, Yu Shaoting leaned back in the chair and rubbed his brows, and there was a thick stack of unfinished wedding cards next to him.

"How can there be so many?" She always thought that the wedding banquet should not exceed ten tables at most.

But now that I look at it,

Bai Xiao found the names of many big people, when she used to be an assistant, she had dealt with people from the general office of the municipal party committee of the municipal government, and there were many CEOs in the business field, she flipped through the whole four pages, and Yu Shaoting added next to her: "Here, it doesn't include relatives and friends." ”

"If you don't invite people, when the time comes, people will definitely have ideas in their hearts, since you invite one, the other will also have to send a wedding card."

Bai Xiao also understood this truth, nodded, and took the signature pen: "I'll help you write it together." ”

Yu Shaoting's words are vigorous and powerful, and her words are clear and elegant, and the two wedding cards are side by side, which really looks like a pair of golden boys and girls.

Looking at it, Bai Xiao himself was amused by this metaphor first.

Yu Shaoting opened the drawer, wanted to take out another pen, and looked through the contents of the drawer, Bai Xiao looked down and saw an old photo.

That's Xu Shuyuan's.

Yu Shaoting also saw the photo, saw her staring, didn't speak, afraid that she would misunderstand, hugged her and explained: "Maybe when I just returned to China, Aunt Li cleaned the house, I don't know where to pick it up, and I put it here." ”

Bai Xiao retracted his gaze and said, "I didn't misunderstand. ”

Even if he really hid Xu Shuyuan's photo, Bai Xiao felt that it was understandable, after all, Xu Shuyuan was once his wife for so many years.

Yu Shaoting looked at her, it didn't seem like there was no misunderstanding, he sighed silently and hugged her: "Could it be that I misunderstood?" ”

“……”

The smile on Bai Xiao's lips deepened, and he turned around, put his hands around his neck, and his eyes were clean: "Because I know that the important thing is the present and the future." ”

At night, lying in his arms, Bai Xiao's head rested on his steady and powerful arms, and he said before falling asleep: "I heard from my mother that Xu Shuyuan built a well-dressed mound in Fengcheng, and I want to go and sweep a tomb tomorrow, is it okay?" ”

The answer to her was, clasping her arms.

……

Some people say that the cemetery is the last place for people to return after death, and only a cemetery can be regarded as the end of life, where the soul of the deceased is buried.

In fact, Xu Shuyuan's flight was killed above the Pacific Ocean, and so far, even the wreckage of the passenger plane has not been found.

Therefore, whether it is under the tombstone in Las Vegas or the cemetery in Fengcheng, it can only be regarded as a well-dressed grave.

After the rain, the air is fresh, and the green branches and leaves are condensed with water droplets, but the sheep intestine path is even more difficult to walk because of the rain.

Yu Shaoting walked in front, suddenly slowed down, turned around and handed her hand to Bai Xiao behind her, she was stunned, and put her hand in his palm.

And her other hand was holding Yu Jingxi.

……

On the tombstone is a black and white photograph.

It should have been taken when Xu Shuyuan was in her early twenties, the woman in the photo, with long straight black hair, picturesque eyebrows, slightly upturned lips, crooked eyes, a very demure smile, the audio of the voice recorder, except for the few paragraphs that Xu Zhening gave her, the rest ...... Shirahiro didn't ask to listen.

The past is like smoke, for her, surrogacy has no meaning except for giving birth to a smart and lovely Jingxi.

Yu Jingxi was wearing a small black suit, his mouth was tightened, his expression was very strict, and his little hand touched a bouquet of calla lilies that were still dripping with dew.

"Jingxi, put the flowers in front of the tombstone."

Bai Xiao turned his head to Yu Jingxi and said, after he put down the flower, he touched the back of his head: "Bow to Shuyuan's mother." ”

Yu Jingxi bent down in a dignified manner and saluted the photo on the tombstone.

The corner of Bai Xiao's eyes fell on the man next to him, and before and after Xu Shuyuan's tombstone, he never spoke.

Holding Yu Jingxi's little hand, she said, "I want to go over there to have a look, is Jingxi okay to accompany me?" ”

The little guy immediately carefully protected Bai Xiao and walked out of the way, and the mother and son pointed to a flower born on the top of the mountain and whispered.

Yu Shaoting looked at the two figures with their heads next to their heads, one big and one small, and after a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the photo on the tombstone, in fact, he almost didn't remember what Xu Shuyuan looked like, to her, rather than a wife, it was more like a stranger living under the same roof as him.

During those years in Las Vegas, they didn't have much to talk about in their daily lives.

For Xu Shuyuan to do such a ridiculous thing as surrogacy, he also couldn't understand it at the beginning, and then he was relieved and happy, glad that the woman she was looking for was Bai Xiao, he slowly squatted down/leaned, reached out to wipe a drop of water from the photo, and said only two words in a low voice from beginning to end to the tombstone: "Thank you." ”

Yu Shaoting stood up and looked up to see Bai Xiao, who had turned around at some point, and she was looking at herself with a smile on her lips.

Yu Jingxi stood beside her, holding a red flower in her hand.

Before going down the mountain, Bai Xiao deliberately slowed down, the father and son walked in front, and she turned back and looked at the location of Xu Shuyuan's tombstone.

"Anyway, I'm grateful for the decision you made in the first place, Shuyuan, thank you."

When Bai Xiao turned around, a breeze blew through the bouquet of calla lilies in front of the tombstone, and the flower bones swayed gently.

――――――――――――――

The day before the wedding, all the three floors booked by Fengcheng Mingdu Hotel were occupied by guests, and the wedding scene was already securely arranged.

But Mrs. Yu was still not at ease, so she deliberately went to the hotel in the evening, saw it with her own eyes, and went home to sleep with peace of mind after making sure that it was correct.

The Xu family, including Xu Hongyang, was also discharged from the hospital and rushed to Fengcheng ahead of schedule.

The news that Bai Xiao is the child of the Xu family slowly spread in the circle, the drizzle was silent, not much of a sensation, but it also made countless celebrities sigh, and the dowry of the Xu family's daughter-in-law was also talked about by everyone, and some people were curious about how the new stepmother and aunt would get along with the stepson who was a nephew......

……

After Xu Jingyan learned about Bai Xiao's wedding, he suddenly went abroad and hurried back in the evening before the wedding.

Bai Xiao went to pick him up at the airport, accompanied by several foreign friends, who were Xu Jingyan's friends over the years, when they praised Bai Xiao in English, Xu Jingyan was overjoyed, that was the pride of being a father, after getting in the car, Bai Xiao secretly sent a text message to Yu Shaoting - "I seem to have seen my idol when I was young." ”

Xu Jingyan brought back not only a few musicians, but also a set of natural jadeite jewelry.

Bai Xiao didn't know how to appreciate jewelry, but he could see from the box that it was worth a lot of money, and it was comfortable and cold to start with, Xu Jingyan said that he didn't have time to prepare a wedding dress for her, so he could only give her this. Although he didn't say it explicitly, she knew in her heart that he wanted her to wear them at the wedding.

……

The custom of marrying a daughter in Fengcheng is that the day before the wedding, the groom and the bride are not allowed to meet, and the bride must spend the night at her parents' house.

The capital was too far away, and Liyang was not close, and in the end, Xu Heng's home temporarily served as Bai Xiao's maiden home.

At night, Bai Xiao tossed and turned, it was difficult to sleep, it was already quiet outside, she opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling, but her consciousness became clearer and clearer, she turned on the machine again, leaned on the head of the bed, lingered for a long time, and finally clicked her finger on the screen, and chose 'Yu Shaoting' in the recipient column.

She texted him - "I seem to be a little nervous and can't sleep. ”

It was not a text message that replied to her, but a phone call, and a pleasant ringtone rang, Bai Xiao was startled, hurriedly turned to mute, and picked up the phone: "Hey? ”

"Sleeping?"

“…… No. ”

Yu Shaoting laughed at the other end, and then said in a low voice, "Come down and open a door." ”
