The next day, in the morning, at the dinner table, my grandmother offered to go back to Liyang.

"Why do you have to go back all of a sudden, grandma, isn't it good to live here?" Bai Xiao suddenly lost the mood to eat breakfast.

"No matter how good it is, I can't live here all the time," the old man smiled at her, "Since the day between you and Shaoting has been set, you have to be busy these days, I'm old, staying here any longer will only hold you back, just pick me up on the day you get married." ”

Bai Xiao is reluctant, her grandmother is her closest relative, and she has always been worried about letting the elderly with heart disease live alone in Liyang.

Seeing the retention in her eyes, my grandmother said: "Besides, I am used to the life of Liyang, and here, there is always some restraint." Fu"

"Is Grandma leaving?" Yu Jingxi's crisp children's voice sounded outside the restaurant.

The little guy was running back in the morning, wearing sportswear, panting with his small chest, and behind him, standing was Yu Shaoting, who was also dressed casually.

Yu Jingxi ran to the old man's lap and lay on his stomach, "Grandma, it's raining these days, you can leave when the weather is clear." Flutter"

Regarding the issue of seniority, no one has ever corrected Yu Jingxi, perhaps because he doesn't want to make the sensitive little guy feel uneasy anymore.

"Silly child," the grandmother touched the little guy's shaking little head, and was very fond of this great-grandson: "Grandma has bought the ticket." ”

Bai Xiao was surprised and didn't know: "When did you buy it?" ”

Grandma glared at her: "What's all the fuss, I asked Xiao Zhang from the next door to buy a train ticket this afternoon." ”

"Then we'll get the ticket back." Yu Jingxi suggested wittily.

One big and one small looked at the old man with two pairs of eyes, grandma looked up at the man who had not spoken, Bai Xiao also turned his head, Yu Shaoting stood there with his hands in his bag, his expression was very calm, his thin lips opened, and he said: "Just two days later, I am going to City C, and I will take you over by the way." ”

Because of Yu Shaoting's words, my grandmother didn't leave on the same day, but waited for Yu Shaoting to return to Liyang two days later when she went on a business trip.

Before going to school, Yu Jingxi carried a big schoolbag and took her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, I want to eat the scrambled eggs you made at night." ”

The old man nodded with a smile and watched the family of three go out.

Aunt Li said enviously on the side: "The little master really likes Teacher Bai, and I think my mother is nothing more than that." ”

Grandma looked at the child who climbed into the car with Bai Xiao, and sighed faintly, the blood relationship is constantly cut, even after so many years.

Turning around to enter the villa, I inadvertently saw a figure outside the fence, and my grandmother paused and looked over.

After Su Manrong heard Yu Yiwei talk about the relationship between Bai Xiao and Pei Qiyou, she couldn't sleep all night, everything was so complicated that she imagined, she didn't understand why her daughter in the countryside would become the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, as soon as the morning dawned, she came, standing at the door but timid.

Some people, she has avoided for more than 20 years, but she still has to face it after all, with shame and apology.

Su Manrong looked up at the old man, and her lips pursed: "...... Mother. ”

Aunt Li had already gone in to wash the dishes.

Grandma was very calm, as if she had expected that Su Manrong would come to her, "If you want to ask anything, just take advantage of it to ask all today." ”

"......" Su Manrong's eyes were red, but he didn't know how to speak.

The old man sighed, entered the villa, and came out again not long after: "Let's go, find a place, and say everything that needs to be said." ”

——————————

Bai Xiao sent Yu Jingxi off the bus, stood at the school gate and watched the little guy walk to the classroom like other children, carrying his schoolbag.

The little one walked for a while and suddenly turned back to see that she was still standing, and waved his little hand at her from a distance.

Bai Xiaowaner also raised his hand and responded, and Yu Jingxi turned around and left.

Yu Shaoting didn't get out of the car, Bai Xiao turned around, and couldn't see the face of the man in the car clearly, but every time she took a step closer, she had an indescribable tranquility.

Get in the car, fasten your seatbelt, and hear him ask, "Okay?" ”

Bai Xiao remembered what he said in the morning, and turned to look at him: "Are you really going to City C on a business trip?" ”

Yu Shaoting hummed and started the car, Bai Xiao looked at him so little, since she woke up in the middle of the night, she noticed something unusual, people can't do bad things, even if it's a white lie. She glanced at the silent man driving beside her, raised her left hand, and gently rested it on his right arm.

Speechless all the way, when I arrived at the Hongyuan office building, the car drove into the underground parking lot.

Bai Xiao got out of the car, stood beside the car, didn't hurry to go, leaned over and said to the man in the driver's seat, "Be careful when driving." ”

"Let's go up." Yu Shaoting seemed to be waiting for her to leave, and then drove away.

Closing the car door, Bai Xiao walked to the elevator, the parking lot was quiet, the sound of high heels became clearer, and after walking a few steps, Bai Xiao turned his head, and the Bentley Continental was still parked in the parking space. Without going any further, she folded back and knocked on the driver's window.

The car window was slowly lowered, revealing the man's resolute side face, and Bai Xiao said: "I forgot to say, let's eat together at noon." ”

"I'll have a meeting later."

“…… Then I'll wait for you, and you can call me as soon as the meeting is over. ”

"It's a meeting with a few shareholders, and we might go to dinner together after the meeting."

Bai Xiao didn't give up, but said: "Then when you decide, you can tell me again, if you don't pay you, you will eat together." ”

Yu Shaoting turned his head and wanted to say something, but Bai Xiao suddenly leaned forward, kissed him on the cheek through the car door.

His hands were still on the steering wheel, not avoiding it, but he didn't respond much.

After a short stay, Bai Xiao let go of him and took two steps back: "Bye, please." After saying that, he put the bag on his shoulder, and turned around and walked away in a rather happy mood.

Yu Shaoting sat in the car, watching her back as she walked farther and farther, and then, lowering his eyes, staring at the steering wheel in front of him.

He heard Bai Xiao's dream last night, it was very light and vague, he was woken up by her, and when he got close to her, he heard it clearly, she was shouting "Mr. Pei".

He looked at her sleeping face, wondering what she had dreamed of, but there would never be him in this dream, but another man.

Leaning on the head of the bed, he lit a cigarette, and not long after, Bai Xiao woke up, he asked, her eyes dodged, and he felt uncomfortable.

The phone rang suddenly, pulling his mind back to reality.

Yu Shaoting saw the number displayed on the screen, did not pick it up, but cut it off, and then threw the phone into the storage compartment.

——————————

Not long after going to work, Mrs. Yu's call came, asking Bai Xiao to go to the house with Yu Shaoting in the evening to choose the type of wedding card.

Bai Xiao actually didn't want to make a big deal about the wedding, Yu Shaoting and her were both second marriages, although she was also eager to wear a wedding dress, eager to exchange rings with her husband with the blessing of all relatives and friends, but that was just a beautiful imagination after all, and now she really wants to hold a grand wedding, but she is afraid of those secrets in her heart.

called Yu Shaoting, it was Secretary Jing who answered, Yu Shaoting didn't lie to her, he was really in a meeting.

hung up the phone, Bai Xiao was just about to turn around and return to his position, when another call came in from his mobile phone. It's Su Manrong's number.

Bai Xiao didn't answer, he pressed it directly, and a text message came in not long after, "Xiaoxiao, can you answer your mother's call?" ”

Staring at the word "mother", Bai Xiao's chest was still uncomfortable, and he had just deleted the text message, and a new one came in.

"I know that I'm not a qualified mother, and I don't deserve to let you call me Mom, Xiaoxiao, are you okay with answering the phone? I have something to tell you. ”

When the phone came in again, Bai Xiao turned off the phone directly, and she had nothing to say to Su Manrong, and she didn't want to listen to Su Manrong's dissuasion.

Back in the office area, as soon as she sat down, a phone came from the front desk, saying that someone was looking for Bai Xiao.

When the elevator reached the first floor, Bai Xiao came out and saw Su Manrong standing there, and turned around to go back upstairs.

"Xiaoxiao!" When Su Manrong saw her, she was in a hurry and shouted out.

Before becoming the center of attention, Bai Xiao walked over, Su Manrong's eyes were wet and red, and she had just cried, Bai Xiao said, "If there is something, let's talk about it." ”

Su Manrong looked at the slim daughter in front of her, her mother's words were still hovering in her ears, thinking of everything her daughter had experienced over the years, tears fell out again, but she couldn't speak, and some people around looked at her curiously, Bai Xiao didn't want to be gossiped about, so she had to take Su Manrong outside.

"What the hell are you looking for me?" Bai Xiao walked to a remote corner before turning around and asking Su Manrong.

"Xiaoxiao......" Su Manrong shouted to her, her voice was hoarse, and she couldn't say anything else.

- She was taken away by the Pei family when she was four years old, married Pei Qiyou at the age of eighteen, and later served as a surrogate mother for the Pei family......

Su Manrong covered her mouth, just kept crying, Bai Xiao didn't understand what was going on with her, but let her comfort Su Manrong like a caring little padded jacket, Bai Xiao knew that she couldn't do it, listening to the crying, she couldn't help but be a little irritable, and twisted her eyebrows: "If there is nothing to do, I will go up first." ”

It's just that before she took two steps, Su Manrong grabbed her: "Xiaoxiao-"

"I still have work to do, and it won't affect me to come out for a long time." Shirako's voice was flat.

Su Manrong looked at her with tears: "I'm sorry, it's my mother who is not good, my mother shouldn't have left you alone and let you suffer so much." ”

"......" Bai Xiao sensed something strange from Su Manrong's words: "Did you go to find grandma?" ”

"I don't know that you have encountered so many things, I don't know that you and Qi You have such a relationship......"

"What about Zhilu Dao? Zhilu said, can you tell your little daughter not to rob my husband? ”

Thinking of Yu Yiwei's repeated provocations, Bai Xiao chuckled, but her smile was fleeting: "When she was with Pei Qiyou, we hadn't divorced yet, if you can, please go back and tell her that the third party who ruined other people's marriages was her, so stop blaming others hysterically like that." ”

Su Manrong's face turned pale, obviously not knowing the specific situation in Lu Dao.

"I don't hate you, because I can actually understand your feelings, if you can start all over again, you shouldn't want to give birth to me." Bai Xiao had vaguely guessed something from her grandmother and Su Manrong, she was not the child born to Su Manrong and the man she loved.

Even if this truth hurts her heart, she still has to admit it.

Bai Xiao went to break Su Manrong's hand, Su Manrong couldn't cry: "No, it's not what you think, I never regretted giving birth to you, when I first conceived you, I was also scared, happy, nervous, I was like other mothers, longing for your birth, I want to take good care of you until you grow up." ”

"Really?" Bai Xiao pulled her lips: "For me, these are no longer important. ”

When Bai Xiao looked up, he saw someone who shouldn't have appeared here. Su Manrong followed her and turned around, her expression changed: "Weiwei? ”

Yu Yiwei secretly followed Su Manrong out, from when she went to see Bai Xiao's grandmother, and then to Hongyuan's downstairs.

Her eyes fell on Su Manrong's hand holding Bai Xiao, her eyes were full of tears, and she thought of what Su Manrong said: "You obviously said that you love your father!" ”

"Weiwei, listen to me......" Su Manrong wanted to explain, but Yu Yiwei had already turned around and ran.

Su Manrong burst into tears, Bai Xiao said goodbye, and said lightly: "Go chase her, I don't know what she will do." ”

In the next moment, the hand that was holding her sleeve was released, and Bai Xiao heard Su Manrong say "I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao", and then left.

Bai Xiao stood in place, looking at the cars in front of him, his heart was confused, mixed with a sour taste. Inexplicably, there was a warm pain in the eye circles.

——————————

Yu Yiwei didn't know where she could go, Su Manrong's words made her heart twist, her mother was not forced to give birth to Bai Xiao.

What about her, what about her dad? What are their fathers and daughters?

Bai Xiao's words seemed to be ringing in her ears: "When she and Pei Qiyou were together, we hadn't divorced yet......"

Bai Xiao said that she was the third party, and it was she who ruined their marriage.

Yu Yiwei bit her lower lip, trying not to cry out, and all kinds of things with Pei Qiyou came to mind, he went to the airport to pick her up who had just returned to China, on the hotel bed, he touched her face and was slightly distracted, she was kidnapped He took Bai Xiao to replace people, and he took her to the hospital when he had an asthma attack......

The taxi drove downstairs to Pei's house, Yu Yiwei got out of the car, almost subconsciously, she chose to come to him.

Almost all of Pei's employees already knew her, she pushed the revolving door in, and greeted her politely when she met people, calling her "Miss Yu".

Yu Yiwei went to the bathroom to wash her face, cleaned up the embarrassment on her face, and then went upstairs to find Pei Qiyou.

——————————

Pei Qiyou was returning to the office after a meeting, put the documents on the table, the office door opened, he turned around, and saw Yu Yiwei.

For a moment, he thought he had seen Shirako, and his memory went back to a certain night—

He sat in the car, smoking a cigarette, and Bai Xiao came out of the hotel in a mess, with red eyes, almost overlapping with Yu Yiwei at this moment.

Pei Qiyou lost his mind for a moment, and Yu Yiwei had already arrived in front of him and hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it last night, I'm angry, Qi You, forgive me, okay?" Yu Yiwei said with a crying voice.

His forehead was still covered with gauze, and Pei Qiyou went to pull her hand around her: "Why did you suddenly come to the company?" ”

"Pei Qiyou, will you take me away? I don't want to stay here anymore, my mother said that she was willing to give birth to Bai Xiao, in addition to my father, she also loves another man, I can't stand it, my uncle also helps Bai Xiao, no one in the family is really good to me. ”

Yu Yiwei held Pei Qiyou firmly, like a person who fell into the sea and grabbed driftwood: "I don't care about how you and Bai Xiao used to be, Pei Qiyou, I love you, I want to be with you forever, let's find a place where no one knows to live again, okay?" ”

Pei Qiyou didn't say anything, let her hold her, and didn't respond at all, the long silence made Yu Yiwei feel uneasy, and then, I heard him say sorry.

Yu Yiwei let go of his neck and grabbed his sleeves with both hands, "I'm sorry for what I said." ”

"Did I smash you yesterday and you're still angry? I apologize to you, don't I? ”

"I'm sorry." Pei Qiyou's throat moved, and he repeated those three words, in a calm tone: "I can't marry you anymore." ”

Yu Yiwei looked at him suddenly, incredulous, stunned.

Pei Qiyou looked at the face that was extremely similar, with tears in his eyes at the moment, Chu Chu was moving, but after all, it was not that person, the person in his heart.

"For what...... What are you ...... for" Yu Yiwei's face faded the last wisp of blood, and the whole person trembled slightly.

Don't even the only man who is kind to her now want her?

Yu Yiwei suddenly stepped forward, hugged Pei Qiyou tightly, and put her head against his heart: "I was too willful before, you forgive me, Pei Qiyou, I shouldn't have cut off your sister's fingers, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you all the time, I shouldn't be jealous of Bai Xiao like that......"

As she spoke, she raised her head and kissed Pei Qiyou regardless of it, but in exchange for his indifference and long silence.
