Do you really think Dad didn't suspect you?
"Xiaoxiao, where are you? I have something I want to tell you, so why don't you come out and meet you? ”
Bai Xiao thought for a while, and didn't refuse her: "I'm in Jingxi's school, you say, where, I'll come to you later." ”
“……”
After agreeing on a location with Su Manrong, Bai Xiao hung up the phone, and Xu Jingyan looked at her: "Something will happen later?" ”
“…… Sort of. Bai Xiao raised his head and looked at him: "I may not have time to accompany you around Fengcheng, or I will help you find a tour guide." Chat"
Xu Jingyan took a sip of the water in the cup: "It just so happens that I'm also a little tired, just go back to the hotel." ”
Before leaving, Bai Xiao first sent Yu Jingxi to the classroom, and at the fork in the road between the classroom and the school gate, the little guy walked straight without squinting, trying to skip class.
As soon as he took a step, Bai Xiao pulled him back and flicked his forehead on the side that was not injured: "The bell is ringing, go back to class!" ”
Yu Jingxi covered her forehead, puffed out her little face, stared at her with big round eyes, then snorted, turned around, and swaggered towards the classroom.
Bai Xiao was relieved when he saw the little guy enter the classroom, got up and turned his head, and said to Xu Jingyan: "Let's go too!" ”
Xu Jingyan was distracted for a moment when he looked at her interaction with Jing Xi just now, heard her voice, collected his chaotic thoughts, nodded and said, 'Okay'.
At the school gate, Xu Jingyan offered to send Bai Xiao over.
Bai Xiao learned that he lived in the Yuehua Hotel, which was close to the place she had agreed with Su Manrong, so he was not hypocritical and got into Xu Jingyan's car.
The car Xu Jingyan drove was his cousin Xu Heng's, and after getting into the car, the temperature in the car was high, so he took off his coat and put it in the back seat.
Halfway through, Xu Jingyan's mobile phone ringing in his coat pocket.
When Bai Xiao leaned over and handed it to Xu Jingyan, he accidentally aimed at the caller ID, Xia Lan, his wife?
“…… Well, in a car...... Rest assured, nothing happens...... The eldest brother had already gone back in the morning...... Remember to take your medication on time...... Okay, goodbye. ”
Pressed the phone, Xu Jingyan looked sideways, found the curiosity in Bai Xiao's eyes, and smiled lightly: "My wife's phone." ”
Bai Xiao nodded, judging from the tone of the two talking on the phone just now, even if the husband and wife are not in love, the relationship after marriage must be very harmonious.
"Let's park right here." Bai Xiao pointed to a stop sign on the side of the road: "There is an alley in front, and it is inconvenient to drive in." ”
Xu Jingyan took a look, and sure enough, there was a narrow alley in front of him.
The car slowly stopped, Bai Xiao got out of the car, glanced at the Yuehua Hotel not far away, and said goodbye to Xu Jingyan through the car window: "Pay attention to safety when driving." ”
"Okay." Xu Jingyan didn't drive away immediately, but sat in the car and watched Bai Xiao's back gradually fade away.
It wasn't until Bai Xiao's figure disappeared at the bend of the alley that Xu Jingyan restarted the car, his hand just held the gear lever, a champagne-colored sedan stopped in front of him, the driver's door opened, he saw the person coming down, and in an instant, all the movements became frozen.
Su Manrong was wearing a khaki long trench coat, with a good face and gentle manners, she locked the car door and walked towards the alley.
Xu Jingyan's hand holding the gear lever tightened, and he wanted to get out of the car, but suddenly, his legs seemed to be filled with lead.
She passed by the car window, just like the scene when she passed him last night, how like, she didn't stop for him, not even for a second.
In the rearview mirror, he watched her walk into the alleyway, into the café......
The sudden ringing of the mobile phone, Xu Jingyan seemed to wake up from a dream, brushed his face with his hands, and leaned back on the seat with his eyes closed.
After so many years, I want to see each other again, and we meet for the second time...... He never forgot about it.
――――――――――
Not long after Bai Xiao sat in the café, Su Manrong also came in, and the wind chimes at the door sounded as she pushed the door.
As soon as Su Manrong took his seat, he noticed the jade bracelet on Bai Xiao's left wrist.
She also has the same bracelet, which was put on by Mrs. Yu in her room the night before she married Yu Zhengdong and put it on for her personally.
It is said that Mrs. Yu made a total of three jade bracelets and prepared to give her three daughters-in-law.
Who would have thought that one day, two of the bracelets would be worn on a mother and daughter, which seems to be legendary, but it is not a glorious thing to say.
Bai Xiao also found that Su Manrong was staring at his bracelet, and soon, he thought of it with Su Manrong, and subconsciously put his hand under the table.
Mother and daughter became concubines...... Even if she doesn't recognize Su Manrong as a mother, she can't change this fact.
"Did you order a drink?" Su Manrong spoke first, looking at her softly, and her voice was also very soft and soft, as if she was afraid of startling Bai Xiao.
Bai Xiao asked for a glass of boiled water, Su Manrong saw that she was a little tired between her eyebrows, thinking of last night's incident, and said with concern: "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”
"......" Bai Xiao shook his head: "I walked around just now, I'm a little tired, you're looking for me, what's the matter?" ”
Bai Xiao went straight to the point, Su Manrong's concerned words choked in her throat, her lips pursed, and she let out an 'oh' sound, lowered her head and opened her handbag and flipped it.
When a passbook was pushed to Bai Xiao, she raised her head and wrinkled her eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”
Bai Xiao's attitude was cold, and even slightly displeased, Su Manrong was afraid that she would get up and leave, so she hurriedly explained: "Mom doesn't mean anything else, you take a look first." ”
Bai Xiao glanced at her, opened the passbook, and entered a series of zeros, counted, no more, no less, exactly one million.
"You take the money first, just use it as pocket money, if it's not enough, tell your mother." Su Manrong clasped his hands together, his expression was slightly cramped, he took a deep breath, and said, "I used all the property in my name to invest, and in a few days, the lawyer will prepare the document, and I will give it to you to sign." ”
Su Manrong may not have made it clear because she was nervous, but Bai Xiao probably understood what she meant.
Closed the passbook and put it back on the table, without the slightest joy, Bai Xiao said: "I'm not short of money, you can take it back." ”
"......" Su Manrong said: "No...... Xiaoxiao, don't get me wrong, damn the money, anyway, it's all you and Yiwei in the future. ”
"Then give it all to her." Bai Xiao's expression was as usual, but her heart was a little sour, was this money really hers? If they hadn't met in the Yu family, if she hadn't married Yu Shaoting, would Su Manrong recognize her? No, in that case, Shirahiro is just Shirashino, not anyone's daughter.
Maybe it was a sudden change in love, Bai Xiao wrinkled his brows, the feeling of nausea came up again, and his throat was uncomfortable.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" Su Manrong immediately noticed the strangeness of Bai Xiao's face.
Bai Xiao didn't say much, got up and trotted to the bathroom......
When she rinsed her mouth after retching, Su Manrong just chased to the door of the bathroom and stretched out her hand to support her: "Do you want to go to the hospital?" ”
"I'm fine." Returning to his seat, Bai Xiao took a sip of boiling water, and then gradually pressed down the uncomfortable rolling in his internal organs.
Su Manrong herself had given birth to a child, and she didn't think about it because she was worried just now, but at this moment, looking at Bai Xiao's expression, she immediately guessed something.
"Xiaoxiao, are you ......?"
"Yes." Bai Xiao directly admitted that her pregnancy would be known to the Yu family sooner or later.
Su Manrong's eyes flashed, looking at Bai Xiao's still flat lower abdomen, her eyes were very kind, and she moved her lips: "How many months?" ”
"More than three weeks." Bai Xiao felt that the two of them couldn't talk about other topics: "If there is nothing else, I'll go first." After that, I went to get the bag next to me.
Su Manrong stopped her: "Xiaoxiao......"
Bai Xiao was just about to get up, when he heard the words, he looked at Su Manrong and heard her say, "I plan to take Yiwei back to Ireland later this month." ”
"Yu Yiwei and Pei Qiyou ......" Bai Xiao was surprised, didn't he say that he had children?
Su Manrong was rare, showing a firm expression: "The child will be killed, even if Pei Qiyou doesn't mention it, I won't agree to this marriage." ”
Even if Pei Qiyou doesn't mention it, what does this mean?
"You don't know?" Su Manrong smiled bitterly: "Pei Qiyou said that he couldn't marry Yiwei, but that's fine, they are not suitable in the first place, even if they are tied together now, the family will definitely make chickens and dogs jump in the future, it is better to forget it like this." ”
For what Pei Qiyou thinks in his heart, Bai Xiao can't figure it out anymore after the age of eighteen, and now, he doesn't want to speculate anymore.
Su Manrong looked at Bai Xiao, and tears suddenly flashed in her eyes: "Have you had a hard time in the Pei family in those years?" ”
Bai Xiao opened his eyes and said lightly: "What is the point of recalling the past." ”
It's hard, it's not hard, she's survived it for twenty years.
"Xiaoxiao, Mom hopes that you can go abroad with Shaoting. I heard the old lady say that the Xu family knew that Jingxi was not Xu Shuyuan's child...... You have been married, Jing Xi's life experience, and if Shaoting's parents know, the consequences will ......" Su Manrong wanted to speak and stopped: "I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it." ”
――――――――――
Bai Xiao came out of the café, carrying the palm of his bag, with a fine sweat.
In his ears, there seemed to be Su Manrong's words: "Do you really think that Dad didn't suspect you?" He's such a shrewd man...... He's not as easy to fool as his mother, the capital of Star Language, a divorced woman, you just live there, and then Shaoting must marry you, everything just needs to be contacted a little......"
"He doesn't say it doesn't mean that he hasn't thought about it, maybe in order not to pierce that layer of paper, he would rather turn a blind eye, and even bother to check your background, and only believe that Shaoting showed him, but that doesn't mean that he must be on your side, if one day - I can say, he is the first to get angry."
Bai Xiao was walking in the alley, worried about something, the mobile phone in her bag rang, she took it out, it was Yu Shaoting's call.
At this point in time, Bai Xiao took a look, and it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
Bai Xiao answered, and his deep voice sounded over there: "Where is it?" "It's a magnetic baritone, and it's a little bit cozy.
The originally complicated mood improved because of his phone call, and she kicked the pebble on the side of the road: "At this point, aren't you busy with work?" ”
“……”
"Is there something wrong?" Bai Xiao asked, he would never take the initiative to call her for no reason.
There was no speech, only the sound of the man's gentle shallow breathing, and even with her, her breathing rate was in line with his.
"Hello? Why don't you speak? ”
Bai Xiao couldn't help but be nervous, and didn't know what was wrong: "Speak, what's wrong?" Isn't it a ......?"
Before she finished speaking, her right shoulder suddenly sank, and she turned her head suddenly, and a dragonfly kiss had fallen on her lips, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
The familiar masculine scent enveloped her, with a faint smell of tobacco mixed with the fragrance of aftershave.
There is also the taste of green tea between the lips and teeth at the moment...... Yu Shaoting quickly let go of her, but there was still residual warmth on Bai Xiao's lips, how could he be here, how did he go around behind her, when he approached her from behind, she didn't notice half a minute, or did he always follow her when he came out of the café?
Bai Xiao looked at him in a daze, as if in a dream, his gaze wandered around his facial features in disbelief.
Yu Shaoting took the mobile phone from his ear, turned his head and looked in the direction of the café: "Drinking coffee with my sister-in-law here?" ”
Sister-in-law...... He called Su Manrong without the slightest embarrassment.
Bai Xiao couldn't help but look around again, and Yu Shaoting asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"The person who followed me...... Bai Xiao muttered, not finding any suspicious people around, "otherwise how would you know that I was here." ”
Yu Shaoting suddenly stepped forward, and without warning, suddenly, hugged her from the front.
Bai Xiao was caught off guard, he was firmly embraced between his arms, and staggered back half a step, he used a little force, one hand around her waist, the other hand against her shoulder blades, if there was no rubbing, very emotionally said: "What were you thinking about just now?" ”
Bai Xiao's face flushed, and she suddenly forgot to ask about Xingshi, and she didn't react, or rather, it was Yu Shaoting who was not used to talking like this.
"Hey...... There is someone next to it...... This. She glanced awkwardly at passers-by not far away.
His chin was against her neck, bubbling with green stubble, rubbing gently, a little itchy, and his tone was a little playful: "Are you still afraid of being seen by them?" ”
Bai Xiao was afraid of itching, and he turned his head sideways, but he still asked his doubts: "Why did you suddenly come here?" ”
Yu Shaoting didn't answer, let go of her gently, seemed to be in a good mood, raised his hand to look at his watch, and took her hand and walked out of the alley.
"Where?"
Yu Shaoting tightened his hand and said, "You'll know if you go." ”
Bai Xiao's curiosity was aroused, and he chased him and asked, but Yu Shaoting's mouth was as tight as a river mussel, and he couldn't pry it open.
In April, the weather has taken off the padded jacket, and the sun is shining, Bai Xiao is covered with a lemon yellow knitted jacket, a white Korean shirt inside, wearing light-colored loose jeans, a pair of New Balance casual shoes on his feet, and his long black hair is casually pulled into a bun, like a ball head, looking young and playful.
If you don't say it, no one would have thought that she is already a mother of a six-year-old child, and she is pregnant with another baby in her belly.
When a handsome mature man in a suit and leather shoes pulled a young and beautiful girl out of the deep alley, it still attracted a lot of attention from the roadside.
Su Manrong stood in front of the window on the second floor of the café, and naturally saw the scene where Bai Xiao was taken away by Yu Shaoting.
Maybe that's fate, right?
She picked up her cup, took a sip of bitter coffee, and when she got up, she inadvertently saw the person at the top of the stairs.
Su Manrong's hands hanging down at her side were clenched, her nails embedded in her palms, but she didn't feel the slightest pain, she just looked at Xu Jingyan who came over, trying to calm herself, back then, when she was driven away by the Xu family with her child, that humiliation, in this life, will never suffer a second time.
That winter night, when the snow was falling, they also faced each other like this, but at that time, he chose not to walk towards her, but to turn away.
He said, "In that case, Ning Xuan, I'll let you go." ”
The past, which she had clearly said that she would be sealed for the rest of her life, came to her heart again, and Su Manrong's eyes turned red, although she tried her best to suppress it.
Picking up the handbag and hurriedly leaving, Xu Jingyan strode forward and pulled her hand: "Ning Xuan!" ”
The moment he was caught, Su Manrong's whole body stiffened, and he looked at him indifferently: "You recognized the wrong person." ”
“…… Recognize the wrong person? Xu Jingyan smiled self-deprecatingly: "I also hope that I admit my mistake, or, should I call you Manrong now?" ”
Su Manrong's lips pursed tightly and did not speak.
The waiter happened to come over to settle the bill, Su Manrong went to get the money, but Xu Jingyan took out his wallet first and handed the money to the waiter: "There is no need to look for more." ”
It's just that before the waiter reached out to take it, Su Manrong had already snatched the two red coins in Xu Jingyan's hand.
She gave her money to the waiter, and as for Xu Jingyan's money, she put it on the table, "I can't afford your Xu family's money, and I don't bother to use it." ”
After speaking, regardless of his stunned, he went downstairs directly
