There was silence for a moment, and Bai Xiao heard footsteps, it should be Su Manrong who got up and walked to a corner, not wanting others to hear the phone.

Bai Xiao clenched his mobile phone, even though he had already been mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard Su Manrong avoid it like this.

"Xiaoxiao, are you still there?" Su Manrong's slightly anxious voice sounded in the earpiece.

Bai Xiao let out a soft "um".

"Xiaoxiao, did you call me for something?" Su Manrong's heart was pounding, and she forgot to ask her how she knew her number.

Bai Xiao pulled a tissue in her left hand, and when her fingers curled up, the tissue was rubbed into shape, listening to Su Manrong's voice, it was like a lifetime, she had dreamed of her mother's voice countless times in her dreams, but she didn't expect to hear it, but she didn't have the joy and excitement she imagined at all.

Bai Xiao went straight to the point: "There's something I want to ask you. ”

"It just so happens that I also have something to tell you, Xiaoxiao, where do you live, I'll pick you up. Important"

"Don't bother, just say it on the phone."

Su Manrong heard her say this, and her voice became more and more urgent: "Xiaoxiao, even if your mother begs you, is it okay to see your mother?" ”

Mom......

When Su Manrong said this title, Bai Xiao's eyes were red, but he still tried to restrain his emotions: "There's no need for that." ”

"As long as you come out, you want to know what your mother will tell you."

There was a rush of high-heeled trotting from the earpiece, and the sound of other people greeting each other, but Su Manrong was tired of coping, and her heart fell on Bai Xiao on the other side of the phone: "Xiaoxiao, things are not as ...... as you think"

"So what? Don't worry, I have no intention of ruining your peaceful life now, and I won't tell anyone that you have another daughter. ”

Without waiting for another explanation, Bai Xiao hung up the phone directly.

The phone rings in the living room, over and over again, over and over again.

Bai Xiao threw the phone aside, got up and went back to the bedroom to close the door, leaning against the back of the door, his nose was pantothenic, and his eyes were red.

She walked over to the bedbench and pulled out a thick book from the bottom drawer and pulled out a black-and-white photograph from it.

Looking at the beautiful woman with pigtails in the photo, Bai Xiao's heart was suffocated, she had never complained so much in her life as she did now.

Now that you're gone, why do you want to appear? Or in this capacity?

The moment she saw Su Manrong, she didn't even dare to think about it a little more, when Yu Shaoting was about to say about her surrogacy, the fear in her heart was beyond measure, Su Manrong was the wife of Yu Shaoting's eldest brother, if she was ...... So what kind of existence should Jingxi be?

Thinking of Yu Jingxi, thinking of the picture of the fleshy little hands covering her face to warm her, Bai Xiao took a deep breath and returned to the living room, when the phone rang again, she picked it up, and Su Manrong's surprised and happy voice came from the other end: "Xiaoxiao, are you willing to listen to me......"

"Address." Bai Xiao interrupted her.

Su Manrong was stunned.

"Didn't you say I would tell me anything I wanted to ask? Tell me the address and I'll go find you. ”

Bai Xiao didn't want to say anything more irrelevant to her, so he said the name of a café and put the phone on hold.

There seemed to be a "Xiaoxiao" in her ears that Su Manrong called her.

——————————

When Bai Xiao arrived at the café, Su Manrong was already in the booth and immediately stood up when he saw her.

"Xiaoxiao......" Su Manrong got up too quickly, and accidentally bumped into the waiter who passed by with a drink.

In a hurry, the drink splashed on Su Manrong's clothes, but she didn't know it, she just looked eagerly at Bai Xiao who came over.

Bai Xiao opened her eyes and pretended not to see the tears in her eyes.

The waiter wiped Su Manrong's clothes: "Madam, do you want to go to the bathroom to scrub it?" ”

Su Manrong shook her head, her eyes refusing to take her eyes off Bai Xiao, "No need, order two cups of oranges for me...... Shinoshio, what do you like to drink? ”

Bai Xiao said to the waiter: "A glass of boiling water, I'll leave immediately." ”

Su Manrong's face flashed with loss, and the folded hands that were clasped together revealed her uneasy and messy mood at the moment.

"Sit down." Bai Xiao said lightly.

Su Manrong nodded hurriedly, wanted to sit down and stood up again, and looked at Bai Xiao earnestly: "Xiaoxiao, there is sunshine here, or you can sit here." ”

Bai Xiao looked at the woman opposite who was centered on herself everywhere, and couldn't compare her with the image of abandoning her young girl, she ignored Su Manrong's courtesy, and sat down directly in the booth, Su Manrong sat down with a smile, and a silence spread between the two.

The waiter who brought the drink broke the awkward atmosphere.

Su Manrong held the drink cup in both hands, her fingers were almost white because she clenched it too tightly, and she looked up at Bai Xiao: "How have you been doing all these years?" ”

The opening remarks that are very unoriginal, but they are not a taste in Bai Xiao's ears, and she also wants to ask herself how she has been doing all these years?

Su Manrong was wearing a Korean version of a sweater, black pencil pants, a pair of milky white wedges, her long hair was neatly pulled up, Bai Xiao couldn't find a single white hair on her head, and only one or two fine lines at the corners of her eyes could be seen when she looked close on her well-maintained face, she exuded the unique temperament of an artist, such a gentle and elegant woman in words and deeds, it was hard to imagine that she was the schizophrenic female madman in her grandmother's mouth.

If such a Su Manrong is a madman, then who else is a normal person in this world?

Su Manrong didn't miss the ridicule in Bai Xiao's eyes, and became more and more nervous: "Xiaoxiao, are you complaining about your mother?" ”

"Are you sure I'm your daughter without asking me anything?" Bai Xiao took a sip of boiling water to moisten his throat, but his voice was still a little hoarse.

Hearing her speak like this, Su Manrong was quite excited: "You are my daughter, your name is Bai Xiao, the Xiao of 'Youjuan Pine Xiaojing, the moonrise and the cold cicadas', how could I be wrong to get my own name?" ”

Bai Xiao turned her head to look out the window embarrassedly, not looking at Su Manrong's loving eyes, only she knew how much willpower it took to suppress the emotions tumbling in her heart, she never knew that Lu Dao had such a origin for her name.

"Xiaoxiao, how are your grandparents doing?"

"My grandfather died in a car accident when I was four years old, since you still care about them, why don't you ask them personally?"

Su Manrong's eyes flushed suddenly, holding the drink glass, as if it was her only pillar, she opened her mouth, and said with some difficulty: "I know that you blame me for ignoring you all these years, and I don't want to be like this, many things are not as simple as you think......"

"That's your business, it's none of me, I just want to get the answers I want from you."

Bai Xiao's indifferent words finally made Su Manrong's tears fall: "Xiaoxiao, I really didn't mean to leave you alone. ”

"Enough, I'm not interested in hearing these words, I just want to ask you, is my father Yu Zhengdong?"

Su Manrong looked at her suddenly, her expression was a little hasty: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"You just tell me yes or no."

Seeing Bai Xiao's firm attitude, Su Manrong opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, only tears kept pouring out.

Bai Xiao's heart sank, but he didn't give up: "I have the right to know who my biological father is." ”

"Do you have to know the way?"

Bai Xiao didn't answer, but looked straight at her.

Su Manrong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a tissue, and only spoke after a while: "During the days when I took you back to Liyang, I did have mental problems, and then I had a car accident in Yunnan, and I forgot everything after waking up, and I also met Zhengdong there. ”

As he spoke, Su Manrong paused and looked at Bai Xiao: "Zhengdong is the eldest son of the Yu family, and he served in the army over there in Yunnan at that time. ”

"I didn't know at the time, I had known him three years ago, I had amnesia and couldn't take care of myself, and he had been taking care of me all the time, and then ...... I went back to Fengcheng with him, and he told him that my parents were from Yunnan, and that my relatives had passed away, and that we got married half a year later, and then we had Yiwei. ”

Bai Xiao's fingers picked the water glass, and his heart was not as calm as his face.

"During my pregnancy, I was very depressed and had nightmares, and then it was so severe that I needed to see a psychiatrist regularly, and I remembered it when I was eight months pregnant." Su Manrong looked up at Bai Xiao's eyes full of tears, as if it was a painful memory.

"After I gave birth to Yiwei, Zhengdong accompanied me to Liyang, but I ...... halfway He died in the car trying to save me. ”

So...... Do you think that it was their relatives in Liyang who killed her husband, and would rather die than get along?

If it weren't for last night's bump, she would never have come to her?

Bai Xiao's lips were a little pale because of the loss of blood, she looked at Su Manrong, and for some reason she felt that Su Manrong was hiding something.

"Xiaoxiao, I have been cowardly all these years, and I dare not face the past, and I have also caused you to suffer a lot," Su Manrong reached out and wanted to hold Bai Xiao's hand, but Bai Xiao shrank back, avoiding her touch, Su Manrong looked at her anxiously: "Xiaoxiao, are you willing to go abroad with your mother?" ”

"When Evas' engagement feast is over, will you go to Ireland with your mother?" Mom will take good care of you in the future. ”

Bai Xiao clenched the cup, but still asked his doubts, even if it was the acne in Su Manrong's heart: "What about my biological father?" Who the hell is it? ”

Su Manrong's eyes dodged, obviously unwilling to answer this question.

"Is Yu Zhengdong my father?"

Bai Xiao saw her evasive appearance, and already counted it in her heart, took the bag and got up: "Since this is the case, we have nothing to say." ”

Su Manrong grabbed her: "Xiaoxiao, go abroad with your mother and give your mother a chance to make amends." ”

"I'm doing well now, I don't need anyone's compensation, if you can, I just want you to go back and see your grandmother."

A call came in from Bai Xiao's mobile phone, and she broke away from Su Manrong's hand, which was Yu Shaoting's number.

As soon as I picked it up, the child's pretended old voice came from there: "What are you doing?" ”

Bai Xiao could even imagine Yu Jingxi lying on his back on the sofa, shaking a pair of small short legs, and holding a bulging little belly.

The indifference when talking to Su Manrong faded, and Bai Xiao naturally softened his voice: "Something is outside, what about you?" ”

Yu Jingxi snorted twice, and his tone was a little unhappy: "Watching cartoons, there are still a lot of homework to do." ”

"I'll teach you when I go back."

"But I'm in my father's company."

Bai Xiao: "I've finished my errands, I'll pick you up by the way, and then go to Qinyuan to get my schoolbag." ”

The little guy was very satisfied with her arrangement, and after two more sentences, he hung up the phone.

Bai Xiao put away her phone, Su Manrong was already staring at her and asked tentatively, "Is that voice on the phone just now Jingxi?" ”

Bai Xiao didn't deny it.

Su Manrong's expression suddenly changed greatly, and the strength of his grip on Bai Xiao's hand deepened: "Are you dating Shao Ting?" ”

"So what?" After Bai Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Su Manrong said anxiously: "Xiaoxiao, you can't be with Shao Ting!" ”

"What do I like about him, why can't I be with him?"

"Because your father is his ......" Su Manrong was suddenly silent, as if he realized that he had said something wrong, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Bai Xiao looked at her aggressively: "Who is my father from Yu Shaoting?" ”

Su Manrong took a step back, hit the dining table, and the whole person staggered: "You can't be happy together." ”

As she spoke, she took Bai Xiao's hand again, her eyes were almost pleading: "Just take it as your mother begging you, go live abroad with your mother, you are still young, what kind of boy do you like tell your mother, your mother knows many people in Ireland, and she can introduce you." ”

"I don't even know how to pry my corner behind my back."

Bai Xiao and Su Manrong turned their heads in unison-

Yu Shaoting strode over, his suit was straight, his momentum was fierce, his thin lips were pursed, and his face was unhappy.

Su Manrong's expression was ugly, and before he could recover from the shock, Yu Shaoting was already standing beside Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao lowered her eyes, there was already a knuckled hand on her shoulder, Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, hugged her and turned around.
