Whose dreams are falling through
It was only seven o'clock in the evening when Wu You separated from Shi Hongfeng on the east coast, and she originally planned to leave Haiyue City and take a taxi back to Hongyun Hotel.
But sometimes people really can't be greedy, and in the same way, people sometimes can't be greedy, otherwise how can there be greed for small and cheap and suffer big losses?
After she walked out of Haiyue City, she quickly came to the East Coast Avenue and reached out to stop a taxi to go back to the Hongyun Hotel in the city.
Although there is a lot of seafood on the east coast, and it is fresh and cheap, she doesn't think it's interesting to eat seafood alone, so she doesn't want to stay in this place.
It's not easy to hail a taxi on the East Coast, and she stood on the side of the East Coast Avenue for less than ten minutes when Shi Hongfeng's car drove over and stopped in front of her, obviously trying to get her into the car.
Of course, she pretended not to know that this was his car, and she also pretended not to know him as a person, so she turned around and walked away, without any intention of continuing to entangle with Shi Hongfeng.
Fortunately, there were many cars on the East Coast Avenue, and Shi Hongfeng's car was urged by the car behind him within a few seconds of stopping, so he had to quickly drive away.
Wu You continued to stop the car on the side of the East Coast Avenue, it was rush hour, this car was indeed not easy to stop, she waited for about half an hour, and finally stopped a taxi to get off the customer.
Originally, it was a good thing for her to stop a taxi, so when the person got out of the car, she didn't wait for the door to close and went directly to get into the car, and after getting into the car, she often exhaled, and said to the driver while wearing a seat belt: "I'm going to the Hongyun Hotel in the city." ”
The driver frowned slightly and glanced at her, then looked at the two people in the back seat and asked, "Are the three of you together?" ”
Three?
Wu You turned his head after listening to the driver's words, and also found that there were two people sitting in the back seat, so he hurriedly spoke: "No, I don't know them, please let them get out of the car, I stopped this car first." ”
"Obviously, we stopped it first," the man in the back seat said to the driver with his hand on the woman with a high belly next to him: "Driver, you should have seen it, your car stopped, we pulled the door and got into the car, this car is our seat, please let the lady get out of the car, we are in a hurry." ”
The driver was a little embarrassed and said to the three of them: "Actually, you got into the car together, but this eldest sister opened the passenger door from the right side to get into the car, and you pulled the rear door from the left side to get into the car, so you should discuss it yourself." ”
Wu You heard the taxi driver say this, and it was not good to say that she was the first to get in the car, besides, the two of them in the back seat still have a big belly, in line with the principle of pregnant women first, she should get out of the car and give it to others.
But she looked out the window at the busy avenue, and it was all private cars, with a few buses sandwiched in between, and taxis hard to spot one.
It took her half an hour to stop such a taxi, if it goes on like this, it is estimated that it may not be possible to stop another one in another half an hour, and waiting for a taxi on the side of the road is the most headache, not to mention so many cars, standing on the side of the road is to smell exhaust gas.
So she looked at the young couple and asked, "Where are you going?" I'm going to the Hongyun Hotel in the city, are we stopping by? ”
The young man looked at her and said slightly apologetically: "Hongyun Hotel is in Area F, and we go to District L Maternity Hospital, although we say that we have to go through Area L to go to Area F, but we are in District L near the east coast, and here we go to Area F directly by highway, and we go to District L Maternity Hospital without taking the highway, directly on the city avenue, so we don't go by the way." ”
Wu You is not familiar with the roads in Bincheng, but she also knows that she has to pass through the L area when she returns to Area F. Originally, she thought it would be a way, but when she heard the young man, it seemed that she was not going by the way.
"So how far is it to drive to the maternity hospital in District L?" Wu You was really unwilling to give up the taxi, so he asked the taxi driver.
"It's not very far, only about five or six kilometers," the taxi driver looked at Wu You and said: "If you are willing to delay a little time, then I will send the two of them to the maternity hospital in District L and then drive you to the Hongyun Hotel in District F, and from the maternity hospital in District L to the Hongyun Hotel, it is closer than here, you can save about a dozen yuan in the taxi fare before, but you also have to delay for twenty minutes more, you can think about it yourself." ”
Wu You thought about it, and felt that it was quite cost-effective to delay twenty minutes to save a dozen yuan in the taxi fare, although it was said that he would have to sit in the car for a while, but if he got off the car and went to stop another taxi, twenty minutes later, it is estimated that he would not be able to stop one.
Thinking like this, she immediately agreed to the plan of carpooling with the couple, and asked the taxi driver to take them to the maternity hospital in District L first, and then take her back to the Hongyun Hotel.
In fact, it only takes more than ten minutes to go to the Maternity Hospital in District L on East Coast Avenue without traffic jams, but the taxi they took had just driven less than two kilometers before they encountered a big traffic jam.
The road on the east coast was not wide in the first place, but now that it is jammed, it can't move for half a day, so Wu You and the young couple can only be dumbfounded, and it is even more impossible to get on and off the bus in the middle of the road.
The traffic jam was jammed for more than an hour, Wu You felt uncomfortable sitting in the car, and the pregnant woman behind was even more uncomfortable and shouted, the driver was also a little helpless, and even persuaded the couple, if they really can't wait, or get out of the car and walk forward, if they can walk through the traffic jam, maybe they can stop the taxi in front.
The couple looked at the long queue blocked outside the window, and finally didn't dare to get out of the car to walk, but like Wu You, they sat patiently in the car, listening to the car radio, and prayed in their hearts that the car in front of them would start early.
After more than an hour, the car in front finally moved, Wu You breathed a long sigh of relief, and the young couple in the back also breathed a long sigh of relief, and the pregnant woman said 'Thank God'.
The taxi driver quickly drove the couple to the maternity hospital, because they had a big belly, and drove the taxi into the hospital gate very dutifully, even stopping at the gate of the emergency department.
After the couple got out of the car, they walked directly to the gate of the emergency department, and they didn't even pay the taxi fare, which made the taxi driver dumbfounded.
"I'm sorry, I have to stop the car and look for them," the taxi driver said to Wu You in the passenger seat, "Do you think you went out to hail the taxi by yourself or waited for me here?" ”
Wu You was dumbfounded when she heard the taxi driver say this, let's go out and stop a taxi, she is not familiar with this place, and she doesn't know when she will be able to stop a taxi.
Waiting for the taxi driver to go to the emergency department to find the young couple just now, she was afraid that she would waste a long time, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and she was worried that it would not be safe to be late.
In the end, she gritted her teeth and said to the taxi driver, "Don't go to them, I'll pay the taxi fare alone, you better drive away." ”
The taxi driver then sighed: "You are really a good person, you don't know them well, and you still pay the taxi fare for them." ”
Wu You smiled bitterly when he heard this, what kind of good person is she? It's almost the same as the big one.
In fact, she thought that the young couple did not deliberately not pay the taxi fare, but to rush for time, because when the traffic was still jammed, the pregnant woman screamed for a long time and wanted to go to the toilet.
Wu You is generous, and when the taxi driver drove to her Hongyun Hotel, the taxi fare was actually more than 200 yuan, because the taxi meter was also billed when the traffic was congested.
Well, the taxi fare for her return to the east coast tonight is more than 300 yuan, and these more than 300 yuan did not bring her visual enjoyment or taste enjoyment, but only made her feel uncomfortable.
I knew that I would go to Haiyue City on the east coast to see Shi Hongfeng, and I wouldn't go even if I killed her, but Xiao Xiaohui's woman deceived her, and she couldn't write an email to scold Xiao Xiaohui when she went back.
Wu You felt hungry after getting out of the taxi, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, the restaurant of the Hongyun Hotel was closed, and many restaurants were ready to close at this time.
At this time, it is impossible to eat dinner, so you can only go to eat supper, and the most famous night snack in Bincheng is the first to recommend Chaozhou porridge, Wu You chose to go to the Chaozhou porridge shop near Hongyun Hotel after a little thought.
Chaozhou porridge is delicious, but it is a slow job, that is, you have to wait, customers have to have that patience, but fortunately, Wu You is in a hurry and can't get up, so she still waits honestly, because she really doesn't want to eat fried noodles from roadside stalls or go back to make fast food noodles or something.
Because the Chaozhou porridge is very slow, when Wu You returned to the Hongyun Hotel after eating the Chaozhou porridge, it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and she felt deeply tired after eating.
In the end, she is also in her fifties, and she has been busy all day today, from six o'clock in the morning to more than eleven o'clock in the evening, she has not taken a break, even if she is a young person, she may not be able to survive, not to mention that she is no longer young.
Walking out of the elevator, she walked directly to the door of her room, and saw a person standing at the door opposite her room from a distance, as if she was groping to open the door, but she never saw him open it.
Wu You didn't pay much attention to the stranger, so he didn't look at the person much, but took out his room card and was about to swipe open his door, but was stopped by the person opposite.
"This lady, can you please help me swipe the card on the door of this room?" At the same time as the old man's voice came, the others had already turned to look at her.
If Wu You didn't think about seeing Shi Hongfeng, then she didn't think that she would see Bai Zhenshan again, because it was a character who didn't fit in with her at all, and was not in her circle at all.
Therefore, when the old man stopped her, she felt that the voice was a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, and when Bai Zhenshan turned around and saw his appearance, she smiled dumbly, it turned out that she was really an acquaintance.
She hadn't seen Bai Zhenshan for thirty years, and Bai Zhenshan thirty years ago was only fifty-one or twelve years old, looking high-spirited, with the tough temperament of a soldier, and a majestic face.
Now, after a lapse of thirty years, she saw Bai Zhenshan again, and to be honest, she almost didn't recognize it.
An old man over eighty years old, his face is still left traces by the years, full of folds, his eyes are no longer the bright and bright of the year, but gray, and the look on his face is also very poor, as if he has been hit by something, and the whole person gives people a feeling of old age.
Wu You recognized Bai Zhen Mountain, but Bai Zhen Mountain did not recognize Wu You, mainly because he had only seen Wu You once, and it was thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago, Wu You was not yet thirty years old, it was the age of her prime, although she gave birth to a child, but there was no trace of being a mother on her face, but she was as tender as a girl in her early twenties.
Today's Wu You, although he still has charm, but after all, he is older, and he is wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his hair is also permed into small flowers, and the look on his face has long lost the anger and hatred of the past, and some are just indifferent and calm after the precipitation of the years.
Wu You just looked at Bai Zhenshan like that, to be honest, she didn't want to do Bai Zhenshan any favor, because this person not only had to blackmail her back then, but now that he came to Bincheng, it was very likely that he would blackmail his son and daughter-in-law again.
Bai Zhenshan saw that Wu You was just looking at himself instead of coming forward to help, thinking that she didn't understand what she said, so he slowed down his voice and said to Wu You: "This lady, can you please help me swipe the room card?" I couldn't find a place to swipe my card. ”
Wu You heard Bai Zhenshan say this, and then she was sure that Bai Zhenshan did not recognize herself, so she couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that the current Bai Zhenshan is just an old man who worries about his granddaughter, and is no longer the Bai Commander who oppressed people with power back then.
In the end, he stepped forward and took the room card from Bai Zhenshan's hand. Put it in the card swiping area at the door, gently press it, and the card reader will read the card successfully, and the door will open automatically.
"This is the card swiping area, right next to the door lock handle, you can just follow the door lock handle the next time you swipe the card," Wu You taught him and handed him the card in his hand: "Bai Lao, your room card,"
"Wait," Bai Zhenshan stopped her, saw Wu You turn around, and then frowned slightly and asked suspiciously, "Do you know me?" Who are you? ”
Wu You looked at the old man in front of her, she couldn't believe that Commander Bai Zhenshan, who was once imposing, would have such a day-
I can't even open the door of my room when I live in a hotel, but I can't remember the person I used to be, even if he has coerced and bullied or even ridiculed someone in the past.
"I'm Wu You," Wu You said lightly, looking directly at the old man in front of him, and his tone was flat and natural: "Thirty years ago, Commander Bai looked for me, and I haven't forgotten the invincible Commander Bai,"
Wu You couldn't help laughing when he said this, and then sighed lightly: "It's just that I didn't expect that Commander Bai forgot about me completely, it seems that I am indeed a too inconspicuous little person, in Commander Bai's life, it is estimated that there are too many heroes, so little people like me are not remembered by Commander Bai." ”
Bai Zhenshan stood there with all his might, as if he had forgotten that his door had been opened, and he looked at the woman opposite him, a faint but elegant woman.
Wu You, of course he didn't forget, after all, his daughter's marriage was snatched from this woman, and in order for his daughter to marry Shi Hongfeng smoothly, he also personally looked for Shi Hongfeng's ex-wife Wu You once.
Tonight at Shi's house, An Mujin also mentioned Wu You when he recounted the events of yesterday afternoon, and his daughter and granddaughter went to the police station yesterday because of this woman.
Although he had heard of her, and although he also knew that she was now in contact with Shi Yan and his wife, he never thought of seeing this woman, because this woman was his daughter's enemy in his heart.
It's just that he never expected that he would live in a hotel casually, and he would actually live with Wu You, and what he didn't expect was that his room was still door-to-door with hers.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that he couldn't brush the door, and finally asked Wu You for help, and Wu You obviously recognized him at the first time.
If it were someone else, they might hate him because of the events of thirty years ago, hate him, and turn him into their own enemies because of yesterday and today's events, so when they encounter such a situation, those who are a little better will probably not bother to pay attention to him, and those with a bad temper may take the opportunity to ridicule and even sarcastically despise him.
But Wu You didn't do this, she stepped forward very politely to help him open the door, and told him where the card swiping area was, and in the end, if it wasn't for her white voice, he wouldn't have noticed her.
Looking at Wu You, who had already walked in the door, and looking at the door that had been closed, he couldn't help but feel sad, why didn't his daughter have the same demeanor and bearing as her?
When Mu Hibiscus received Bai Muhan's call/call, she was having breakfast in the Shi family compound, because she lived in the Shi family compound last night, so she accompanied Liu Qin to have breakfast this morning.
This morning, the breakfast table in the Shi family's compound was very quiet, Shi Hongfeng was seated, but with a gloomy face, and Bai Huirong was also present, but with two panda eyes.
And the head of the family, Liu Qin, who is almost eighty years old, is very calm, as if he didn't see his son and daughter-in-law, and has been beckoning Hibiscus to eat Chen Cun noodles, saying that this is very delicious, and it is the best breakfast for the chef of the Shi family.
Mu Hibiscus's mobile phone rang when she was eating Chen Cun noodles, because she forgot to turn it to vibrate, so the sound of her mobile phone singing destroyed the quiet environment where she could only hear eating.
Everyone's eyes turned to her in an instant, so she hurriedly took her mobile phone and went to the living room next to her to answer the call/call, the call/phone number showed that it was from the United Kingdom, and she thought it was Allen's woman.
After pressing the answer button, I realized that it was not the second senior brother Bai Muhan, who had not been in contact for a long time, which surprised Mu Hibiscus, and what surprised her even more was that Bai Muhan said that his plane flew to Bincheng tonight, and asked Mu Hibiscus to pick him up at the airport tomorrow morning.
"Ah Mu, who called you and talked for so long?" Shi Yan saw Mu Hibiscus coming over with a happy face, and hurriedly asked, "It can't be Mu Feng, right?" ”
Mu Hibiscus glanced at him, this man is a vinegar jar, she can also think of Mu Fengtou when she answers/calls, it is estimated that he grew up jealous when he was a child, so the vinegar smell is so strong.
However, she still said truthfully: "It's my second senior brother Bai Muhan, he said that he was going back to China, and he seemed to have taken on some major case." ”
Mu Hibiscus lowered his head as he spoke, so he didn't notice Bai Huirong's changed expression on the other side, but continued his topic and said: "My second senior brother is really good, and people in Bincheng have asked him to fight a lawsuit, it seems that he is indeed quite good in the legal profession in London." ”
"And when will he be back?" Shi Yan asked casually without care, and then said: "If he comes back late, then I won't drink with him, we are in a hurry to go to Germany." ”
"He'll be here tomorrow, and I'll have to pick him up at the airport tomorrow morning," Mu Hibiscus ate the last piece of Chen Cun noodles on the plate, and then said to Shi Yan: "Then you have to pick up the wind for my senior brother tomorrow night, I think you have to inform my senior brother, and the two of them haven't seen each other for several years." ”
"Mmmmmm," Shi Yan nodded on the side: "Then you write down the dishes that your second senior brother likes and tell me, and then I will ask Xiao Su to find the best restaurant to order, your senior brother has finally come back, I must have to pick him up, right?" ”
"Wooden girl, what did you just say your second senior brother did?" Liu Qin took over the conversation on the side, but she didn't pay attention to what Mu Hibiscus was talking just now, so she didn't hear it clearly, so she asked again.
"It's a lawyer," Mu Hibiscus quickly and patiently explained to Liu Qin: "And the senior brother and the second senior brother are both students of my father, and my father also wanted me to study as a lawyer back then, but unfortunately I was too stupid, so I finally failed my father's hard work." ”
"Oh, it's a lawyer," Liu Qin thought for a while and asked, "Then didn't he say that he heard that you had a case and came back to help you?" ”
"Poof" Mu Hibiscus laughed out loud all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said to Liu Qin: "Where can I be, such a small case of mine is also worthy of my second senior brother's rush back?" Even if he is willing, I don't dare to invite it, my senior brother is sitting in Bincheng, such a small case, he can help me solve it with some time. ”
"Oh, yes, I forgot that you have a better brother," Liu Qin then remembered Mu Hibiscus's family background, and her father, An Zhengrong, was once a champion in the legal profession.
"It seems that in the future, we don't have to worry about not being able to hire a good lawyer if there are any cases in our family," Shi Hongfeng answered lightly on the side, and then glanced at Bai Huirong beside him meaningfully.
Shi Yan and Mu Hibiscus glanced at each other, no longer answered, but lowered their heads and ate breakfast silently, the matter of their father and Bai Huirong, it was naturally inconvenient for them to intervene as juniors.
"What do you say? An Mujin said that her second senior brother was Bai Muhan? Bai Zhenshan stared at his daughter, with an expression that he thought his ears had misheard: "She really said that?" ”
"Yes," Bai Huirong said dejectedly: "Bai Muhan also called/called An Mujin this morning, asking her to pick up the airport tomorrow morning, and Shi Yan has already instructed Subei to settle the wind and dust washing banquet tomorrow night." ”
"This" Bai Zhenshan said, but he couldn't say another sentence.
Bai Muhan is his nephew, he also helped him when he was in college, to be precise, he helped him in the matter of going abroad, and nothing else, there is no affection.
Of course, relatives are still relatives, after all, Bai Muhan's grandfather and himself are brothers, but because Bai Muhan's grandfather died early, and Bai Muhan's father, who is his nephew, also died early, so he and Bai Muhan's family have no contact, and the family relationship is extremely thin.
If Bai Muhan and An Mujin had nothing to do with each other, then he would definitely go all out to make suggestions for Tingting's case, and he was convinced of this, after all, there was that kind of kinship there.
But now, Bai Muhan and An Mujin are brothers and sisters, and it seems that they have a very good relationship, which makes him unsure, after all, it is almost impossible for Bai Muhan to offend An Mujin and go all out for Tingting.
Bai Huirong also sat on the sofa in her father's room and sighed dejectedly: "Dad, what can I do about this?" You tried your best to call Bai Muhan back from the UK, but then you became An Mujian's helper."
"Okay, I'll call him later/ask him not to come back," Bai Zhenshan was very irritable and snatched his daughter's words, and then looked at Bai Huirong and said: "I thought about Tingting's matter last night, it's not Tingting's fault alone, and it has a very important relationship with your lack of strict requirements for her since childhood." ”
When Bai Huirong heard her father say this, she immediately lowered her head and stopped gnawing.
For Tingting's child, she has been pampered since she was a child, because of the loss of childbirth, she poured almost all her maternal love into Tingting's body, and if she made a mistake or something, at most she would say a few words, and naturally she would not be severely punished.
"So, she made such a mistake this time, if we are still blindly trying to help her get away with it, maybe we will make even bigger mistakes in the future," Bai Zhenshan looked at his daughter and said bitterly: "Hui Rong, the long pain is better than the short pain, just hand her over to the judicial organs, let the law deal with it, let her also know that it is not that every time she makes a mistake, someone will clean up the mess for her, this is also to let her learn a lesson, and when she comes out in the future, she will cherish the beautiful time and life." ”
"But, Dad, she poured sulfuric acid on An Mujin this time, and her temperament is very serious, I'm worried."
Bai Huirong looked at her father again when she said this, and then bowed her head cautiously: "Tingting is thirty-one years old, once this girl is over thirty years old, it will be difficult to find someone, if she goes to prison for a few years, then she comes out, which family dares to want her?" Won't her life be ruined? ”
"If it's ruined, it's ruined," Bai Zhenshan shook his head and sighed, looking at his daughter and sighing: "Hui Rong, many things in a person's life still have to go with the flow, if you use forcible means to get it, you may not really be happy in the end." ”
Bai Huirong was very surprised that her father suddenly made such an exclamation, and couldn't help but look at her father, and asked suspiciously: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" Why do you suddenly give up on yourself? ”
"I'm not giving up on myself, I'm feeling it," Bai Zhenshan said here and sighed heavily: "Hui Rong, I abandoned your mother and married another woman, but that woman and I were not happy, and your younger brother Jianxin also had a big opinion of me because of my bad relationship with his mother, and he has been unfamiliar with me for so many years,"
Bai Zhenshan said this, then looked at Bai Huirong with melancholy eyes, and said half-loudly: "I met Shi Hongfeng's ex-wife Wu You last night, and she lived in the room opposite me. ”
"What? Did you meet that guy surnamed Wu? Bai Huirong couldn't help but be surprised, looked at her father, and asked nervously, "Did she do anything to you?" Dad, you have to be careful, that woman."
"Hui Rong, don't you think of others so badly at every turn, okay?" Bai Zhenshan was suddenly very dissatisfied with his daughter's speech and attitude, and couldn't help but teach her a lesson: "Tingting learned from you, you tried your best to snatch Shi Hongfeng from Wu You's hands, and now, Tingting is even better than blue, and she can actually do something like sulfuric acid to splash people."
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Bai Huirong was obviously very dissatisfied with her father's feelings, and couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Dad, when I was going to marry Hong Feng, you also supported me, didn't you?" Besides, if I hadn't been pregnant with Hong Feng's child, I wouldn't have ended up with an ectopic pregnancy, who do you say I wouldn't marry him? ”
"I just doted on you too much back then," Bai Zhenshan shook his head and sighed: "If it weren't for my selfishness in favor of you, if it weren't for me to blackmail Shi Hongfeng and Wu You with their future, I don't think Shi Hongfeng would be willing to divorce Wu You." ”
Bai Huirong immediately stopped biting, she was a personal experiencer of what happened back then, of course she knew that Shi Hongfeng was unwilling to divorce Wu You, even when he married her, he was still thinking about his Youyou, and even when he first got married, he shouted in his mouth when he dreamed at midnight.
What's even more excessive is that on the day he married her, it was originally the night of candles in the cave room, but he left her alone in the new room, ran to his son's room by himself, and slept with his son for a night.
"Okay Huirong, don't remember those things in the past," Bai Zhenshan saw that Bai Huirong bowed her head and was silent, so he didn't talk about her anymore, but changed the topic and said: "I'll return the house in the afternoon and go back to Beijing, Tingting's affairs will still be handled by the court according to law, if you want to help her hire a lawyer, you can ask, anyway, I won't care anymore." ”
"Dad, how can you do this?" Bai Huirong finally cried, muddy tears flowed out of her red and swollen eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Dad, Tingting is your granddaughter, you lost my mother back then, and how many years did you leave our mother and daughter in the ice and snow in the northeast, now?"
"I always remember the debt to your mother and daughter, so I spared no effort when you wanted to marry Shi Hongfeng, and even used power to help you get it,"
Bai Zhenshan cut off Bai Huirong's words, and then sighed again: "However, Tingting is different, she has not suffered anything since she was a child, and I have never owed her a slight, and she made such a mistake, so she must be asked to pay for her mistakes, otherwise, she will never know what is the real life." ”
When Bai Huirong heard her father say this, she immediately knew that her father had made a decision, even if she moved out her mother, who had been wronged back then, it would be useless.
So, she cried for her daughter's imminent imprisonment, for her own powerlessness, and for the cruel and realistic life that her daughter was about to face after she was imprisoned.
"Okay, Hui Rong, don't cry, it's useless to cry, Tingting's child did such a thing because he had never been punished since he was a child."
Bai Zhenshan sighed again when he said this: "Looking at Tingting, I thought of Lin Chenxi, both of them can be said to be children who grew up in a honey pot, and they are also children who were doted on by their mothers, but what did they become in the end?" ”
Bai Zhenshan shook his head again when he said this: "Four years ago, on my seventy-seventh birthday, Tingting and Chenxi's performance, at that time, the red envelope I gave to Mu Hibiscus was obviously a cash check of 9,900 yuan, but it was exchanged for a small 300 yuan by Tingting. ”
Bai Zhenshan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this, looked at his daughter who had stopped crying and sighed: "Tingting and Chenxi, Hibiscus are about the same age, but four years ago, at my seventy-seventh birthday banquet, the performance of the three children has already shown their advantages and disadvantages, no wonder Shi Yan wants to abandon Chenxi and choose Hibiscus, people do have something outstanding, her talent, her appearance, her intelligence and aura, her talent, her quickness, her generosity, her indifference, this is not comparable to Chenxi and Tingting." ”
Bai Huirong listened to her father praising An Hibiscus, and couldn't help but answer unconvinced: "Dad, Tingting also has a lot of advantages, don't you always grow others to destroy your own prestige, okay?" ”
Bai Zhenshan listened to his daughter's words and smiled bitterly, then looked at her and said, "Hui Rong, Tingting's advantage is probably that she is afraid of hardship and tiredness when she learns anything, right?" After a few days of learning piano, I felt that my fingers hurt and stopped learning, I didn't learn to paint for a long time, I didn't learn to learn the smell of oil paint, I didn't learn fashion design and mathematics, I couldn't even convert formulas, and I felt that it was too hard to memorize words when I learned English."
Bai Zhenshan couldn't say anything anymore when he said this, stood up and shook his head and said: "In short, Tingting has never learned anything consistently, this Chenxi is much stronger than her, at least people Chenxi has learned to learn Guzheng and become famous, and she can also hold a Guzheng concert, but what can Tingting do?" ”
This time, Bai Huirong is completely silent, of course Tingting does not have any skills, she knows this, because Tingting is a child who has been afraid of hard work since she was a child, so she has not studied hard.
However, as a mother, you can't ignore her because her child is useless, so even if she knows that her child is not good, she must not be compared with the great designer An Mu Hibiscus, but if she wants to give up her child, it is still impossible.
"Hui Rong, don't just care about Tingting," Bai Zhenshan took his bag, stood up and said to his daughter: "Now that the relationship between you and Hong Feng is so tense, I think you should quickly find a way to calm the Shi family's anger towards you, otherwise, you won't be able to save Tingting by then, and your own marriage may not be guaranteed." ”
When Bai Huirong heard her father say this, she immediately became nervous again, stood up with her father, and then cautiously asked, "Dad, did Wu You say anything to you last night?" ”
"What can Wu You say to me?" Bai Zhenshan smiled bitterly, looked at his daughter and sighed: "I wish she could say something to me, even if it was a few words of menacing scolding, but she didn't say a word, just helped me brush the door open, and then kindly told me where the card swiping area was, and then turned around and walked back to her room." ”
Bai Huirong heard her father say this, and immediately stopped gnawing, and said again after half a sound: "Dad, Wu You, this woman has always been very fake, she deliberately pretended to be like this in front of you, so that you feel that she seems to be very high, if she is really high, she will pretend not to know you when she sees you, never"
"Enough, Hui Rong," Bai Zhenshan quickly stopped his daughter, and then said lightly as he walked towards the door of the room: "Don't call me again if there is anything in the future, I am eighty-one years old, and I will be eighty-two years old next year, I should have enjoyed the blessings of my children and grandchildren a long time ago, but I still have to run for you and your daughter."
Bai Zhenshan didn't say anything more when he said this, but walked directly in the direction of the elevator, and suddenly felt sad that he was old and had to run for his daughter and grandson.
Bai Huirong didn't expect that her father not only didn't help Bai Tingting when he came to this trip, but also told her and Bai Tingting that she was going back to Beijing today.
"Dad, can't you stay on the shore for another day or two?" Bai Huirong and Bai Zhenshan were waiting for the elevator at the elevator entrance, looking at their father again, and prayed in a low voice: "Dad, if you don't have your help, Tingting"
"I can't help her with this matter," Bai Zhenshan cut off his daughter's words, and said slightly irritably: "Okay, I have just said what I should say, and I don't plan to say it again, in a word, I won't interfere in Tingting's affairs anymore, you can figure it out by yourself if you can, if you can't find a way, let her make a mistake and accept the punishment of the law." ”
Bai Huirong was about to open her mouth to ask her father again, but the moment she looked up, she found that Wu You had just come over, she was slightly stunned, and the elevator door happened to open at this time.
Wu You didn't expect that she would meet Bai Zhenshan's father and daughter at the elevator entrance, in line with the principle of not having any pull with them, she naturally did not follow their father and daughter into the elevator, but walked to the door of another elevator and continued to wait.
Bai Huirong stared at Wu You's figure fiercely when the elevator door slowly closed, and couldn't help gritting her teeth, it was all this damn woman, if it weren't for her dating other men at the Imperial Capital Hotel the night before and Tingting misunderstood that she was dating Shi Hongfeng, Tingting would not have acted so impulsively yesterday morning.
Tingting can't go to prison, her father doesn't care, she has to find her own way, no matter what, she has to make An Mujin and Shi Yan promise not to hold Bai Tingting responsible, but to threaten Shi Yan and An Mujian
Mu Hibiscus received Bai Muhan's telegram in the morning, knowing that he would go to Bincheng tomorrow, and he would go back to his mother's house in the afternoon, and told Shao Minzhi that the second senior brother was going back to Bincheng.
"What, Mu Han is coming back?" Shao Minzhi was also surprised when he heard Mu Hibiscus's words, and couldn't help but ask: "Then what did Mu Han do in Bincheng?" Will the whole family come back together or will he come back alone? ”
"Of course he's alone," Mu Hibiscus glanced at his mother, and quickly explained to her: "Second senior brother, he has already settled in England, and when he comes back this time, it seems that there is a very big case, and I don't know whose case Lu Dao is so complicated, I actually want to hire a foreign lawyer." ”
"Who knows," Shao Minzhi said indifferently, kneading flour while kneading flour: "Now that there are more rich people, and the lawsuit is getting more and more complicated, there are always some people who like to worship foreign countries, thinking that lawyers who have been gilded with a layer of gold in foreign countries are more powerful than domestic lawyers, but in fact, it is not about the same." ”
Mu Hibiscus laughed when she heard her mother's words, her mother and father had lived all their lives, and she didn't know much about anything else, but she knew a lot about the law.
"By the way, Hibiscus, weren't you going to Germany yesterday? Why haven't you left today? Shao Minzhi remembered this at this time, so he hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?" Your plan with Shi Yan has changed again? Are you planning to be treated in your country? ”
"No, we still have to go to Germany," Hibiscus quickly explained to his mother: "I went to the airport yesterday, but who knows"
"What? That Bai Tingting actually poured sulfuric acid on your face? Shao Minzhi was startled, looked at Mu Hibiscus with wide eyes, saw her from head to toe, and from foot to head, and said with palpitations after the last moment: "That, did sulfuric acid really not splash on your face?" ”
Mu Hibiscus couldn't cry or laugh when she heard Shao Minzhi's words, and couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "Mom, of course you really didn't splash me on my face, if it was splashed on my face, do you think my face can still be so smooth and clean now?" ”
"Yes," Shao Minzhi was relieved at this time, looked at his daughter and sighed: "The so-called good people have good rewards, and of course this wicked person has evil rewards, you look at Lin Chenxi, and now Bai Tingting, none of them are kind-hearted, so they will end up like today." ”
Mu Hibiscus felt that her mother's words were a bit like what a Buddhist believer said, and it also had a theory of cause and effect, so she couldn't help but smile and quipped: "Mom, you don't want to believe in Buddhism, right?" ”
"I was about to tell you about this," Shao Minzhi stopped kneading the noodles in his hand, looked at the hibiscus, and said with a little embarrassment: "I have nothing to do in the past two days and followed Aunt Wang in the community to the temple, Aunt Wang now believes in Buddhism, and began to eat vegetarian, I also want to follow her to burn incense and worship Buddha, and then start to eat vegetarian." ”
"Eat anthoricultural?" Mu Hibiscus only felt that this term was very unfamiliar, and couldn't help but ask: "What is a vegetarian diet?" ”
"Eating a vegetarian is to eat vegetarian on the fifteenth day of every month, and you can eat meat dishes at other times," Shao Minzhi patiently explained to his daughter, and then said embarrassedly: "Actually, you have such a disease, it is said that I should eat a vegetarian diet, but I have always liked to eat meat, otherwise how could I grow so fat?" Now I have cut off all the meat dishes all at once, I'm afraid I can't stand it, so I decided to eat vegetarian. ”
"Yes, Mom, what kind of logic are you?" Mu Hibiscus really convinced her mother, and hurriedly persuaded her: "Don't believe that, if you are sick, it is because there is a problem with the blood in your body, what does it have to do with whether you are vegetarian or not?" It's rare to say that if you are vegetarian, I will be cured of this disease? ”
"This" Shao Minzhi was immediately dumbfounded, in fact, she knew that her illness from eating vegetarian hibiscus would definitely not be cured.
However, she is very lonely at home alone, and her daughter is going to a distant country for treatment, if she doesn't do something for her daughter, it seems that she is not at ease, and she chooses to eat the so-called flower vegetarian, in fact, it is just a kind of sustenance for her daughter.
Mu Hibiscus is about to persuade her mother not to be vegetarian again, because Shao Minzhi likes meat very much, and she can't stand it if she doesn't eat meat for a day, and being vegetarian is a sin for her.
But before she could speak, the phone rang again at this time, she thought it was Shi Yan calling, and she took the phone and pressed the answer button directly without even looking at it.
"Shi Yan, my mother is still kneading the dough, and I will make dumplings later," Mu Hibiscus opened his mouth first without waiting for the other party to speak: "When you come over, go to the old village to buy a hoof tendon and pack it over, my mother just said that she wants to eat cold hoof tendons." ”
After Mu Hibiscus said this, there was a long silence on the other side of the phone, she couldn't help frowning, and was about to speak again, but there was a voice on the phone.
"I also want to eat cold hoof tendons," Bai Muhan's voice came from his mobile phone, perhaps because the distance was too far, with a buzzing sound: "I still want to eat the dumplings made by my wife."
"Second Senior Brother?" Mu Hibiscus's face couldn't help but blush, and he stuck out his tongue at Shao Minzhi before he spoke into the phone again: "Second senior brother, I'm sorry, I forgot to look at the incoming call on the phone screen just now, I thought it was Shi Yan, so"
Mu Hibiscus paused here, and then hurriedly said: "By the way, my mother was still talking to you just now, saying that you like to eat pot stickers very much, and she also said that she would leave dozens of raw dumplings later, and when you arrive tomorrow, you will fry pot stickers." ”
"Hehe, when you say this, my saliva is coming," Bai Muhan's voice continued to come from the mobile phone, and then sighed lightly: "Hey, it's a pity that I can't eat the potstickers fried by my mother's hands this time." ”
"Aren't you coming to Ben Cheng tomorrow? How can you not eat it? Mu Hibiscus couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Could it be that your customer helped you order a banquet for you?" So you're not coming to my mother's house to eat potstickers? ”
"I won't be back to Bencheng tomorrow," Bai Muhan's voice came from his mobile phone again, "My client has canceled the cooperation with me, so I won't go back to Bincheng for the time being, and one day you have any cases."
"Bah, I don't have a case," Mu Hibiscus quickly snapped his words, and then said with a smile: "Besides, even if I really have any case, isn't the senior brother in Bincheng?" Am I going to go the distance? ”
"Okay," Bai Muhan's slightly depressed voice came: "I didn't come to England if I knew that I wouldn't have come, and I should have stayed in Bincheng."
Mu Hibiscus and Bai Muhan chatted a few more words in the phone, which was nothing more than the climate of England and the climate of Bincheng, and then asked each other about the bodies of both parties and hung up the phone.
"Mu Han is not returning to China again?" Shao Minzhi listened to the phone call between Mu Hibiscus and Bai Muhan just now, although she couldn't hear Bai Muhan's voice, but she could already hear the situation from Mu Hibiscus's words.
"Yes, who knows what's going on," Mu Hibiscus shook his head, looked at his mother and said, "Okay, Mom, you can make thirty fewer dumplings, let's fry the potstickers for me, I like to eat potstickers more than the second senior brother?" ”
"Yes, less of yours?" Shao Minzhi glanced at the hibiscus, but he already had a rolling pin in his hand and was ready to roll out the dumpling skin.
And Mu Hibiscus didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went to the kitchen to bring out several kinds of stuffing that her mother had made early, and her mother was busy, how could she, a daughter, sit here and wait to eat ready-made?
In the airport hospital, Bai Tingting's angry voice sounded from behind the gauze in surprise: "What? Grandpa doesn't care about me anymore? How could he do that? ”
Bai Tingting didn't believe it anyway, her grandfather who wanted money, money, power, and power, and even Shi Hongfeng's grandfather had to respect a few points, and now she didn't care about her.
"Yes, grandpa, he has already gone back to Beijing," Bai Huirong sat on the side of Bai Tingting's hospital bed, and said a little uncomfortable: "Grandpa said, the reason why you have come to this point today is because we used to love you too much, so this time I want you to go to the cell to squat for a while, so that you can know the Tao."
"I don't want to go to the cell to squat," Bai Tingting quickly snapped without waiting for Bai Huirong to finish speaking, and then took Bai Huirong's hand and said: "Auntie, I don't want to go to jail, I must not go to jail, so, aunt, you can't leave me alone like grandpa, aunt"
Bai Huirong heard her daughter speak like this, and she only felt very uncomfortable in her heart, of course she couldn't ignore it, in her life, just this one daughter, she didn't care about her, who cares about her?
So, she grabbed Bai Tingting's hand and took a deep breath before saying again: "Tingting, I didn't say that I don't care about you, it's just that the current situation is very tricky, there is no lawyer in Bincheng or even other cities who dare to take over your matter casually, and Shi Yan and An Mujin are biting hard, I don't know who to go to for a while?" ”
Bai Tingting heard her mother say this, and her heart also became melancholy, as if she thought of something, so she whispered to Bai Huirong: "Auntie, I remember, grandpa's former subordinates now seem to be in the judicial organs."
"I can't get through that," Bai Huirong quickly cut off Bai Tingting's words and said: "These people have always only listened to your grandfather, and your grandfather didn't even think about going to them, which shows that they don't really want to do things regardless of the law, not to mention that your matter involves the son of the secretary of the Bincheng City Party Committee, I estimate that many people don't dare to take over this case casually." ”
"What then?" Bai Tingting listened to her aunt's words, and then became anxious, and couldn't help crying slightly: "Could it be that I have no hope at all?" ”
"If you take the regular route, there is really no hope," Bai Huirong said with some dejection: "The police have the surveillance video in the waiting hall in their hands, which is ironclad evidence, and it can't be overturned casually." ”
"And what if you don't go the regular way?" Bai Tingting suddenly thought of something, and immediately grabbed Bai Huirong's hand with both hands and shouted excitedly: "Auntie, you must have a way, don't you?" You've figured it out, haven't you? ”
Bai Huirong let her daughter grasp her hand, looking at the gauze on her face shaking because of excitement, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"I thought of a solution, but" Bai Huirong stopped again when she said this, because the method she thought of was actually illegal from a legal point of view.
"But what?" Bai Tingting couldn't help but ask, Bai Huirong's hands were clenched, and she asked in a low voice, "Auntie, your method must be very useful, isn't it?" ”
"The method is estimated to be useful," Bai Huirong groaned for a while before speaking: "It's just that I don't dare to do it, I'm afraid of what happens."
"Auntie, what are you afraid of?" Bai Tingting heard Bai Huirong say that she was afraid, so she immediately took her words and quickly cheered her up: "Auntie, I believe in you, as long as you make a move, you will definitely be able to win with one move, just like when you snatched your uncle from Wu You thirty years ago." ”
Bai Huirong was silent, there is a saying that a good man does not mention the courage of the year, after all, it was thirty years ago, when she was only in her twenties, of course she could do whatever it took to move forward bravely for her own purposes.
Now, she is in her fifties, and this person is old, and her heart is small, and she will inevitably have to look forward to the future, so she will be afraid and worried.
"Auntie, you want to save me," Bai Tingting saw that Bai Huirong was silent, so she took her hand and shook it gently: "Auntie, I can't live without you, aunt, I don't want to go to jail, aunt, please, save me"
