Chapter 275: Not a Mother
As the number of people walking out of the airport gradually decreased, Xiao Yao still didn't see anyone, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he turned around to go back.
What time is it, obviously it was this plane, and he also called him to pick him up, but now it's not early, but he hasn't seen anyone yet, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, thinking that maybe he didn't wait for him to come, so the two of them went back first.
"Yao." Just as he was about to go back, a voice familiar to him came from behind him, and he suddenly turned around to see his father, who had not been home for many years, and the woman standing beside his father.
It wasn't his mother, and although the facial features did look similar, he recognized that this woman had a completely different temperament from his mother.
In his memory, his mother was a gentle woman, gentle and gentle with everyone, and never spoke seriously, taking good care of the whole family, even if there were servants in the house, his mother would personally cook for them every meal.
Xiao Yao frowned coldly, retracted his slightly raised foot, turned around and looked up at the man, and was silent for a while before he muttered, his voice sounded a little muffled, glanced at the things in the woman's hand, and said lightly: "Put the things in the trunk." ”
After speaking, no matter what the reaction of the two was, they raised their feet and walked out, without the slightest appearance of wanting to help carry things.
Originally, he thought that the woman would be his mother who agreed to pick it up, but after reading it, he realized that it was not at all, and he was already more generous if he didn't leave them now.
Father Xiao was dissatisfied with his son's lukewarm attitude, and he called him just now, but he was good, he obviously saw himself, but he pretended to turn a blind eye, which was almost infuriating.
"Xiao Yao, do you still know that I am your father?! You bunny, do you still have me in your eyes?! Daddy Xiao was babbling, but in the end, he still didn't want to be left in this cold airport to blow the cold wind all night, so he had to carry a heavy suitcase while yelling.
But the woman next to Daddy Xiao looked like she didn't care, and she didn't care about Xiao Yao's cold face, but threw all the things in her hand to Daddy Xiao to carry, and threw a flattering look very much, and said coquettishly: "Stop, it hurts so much when people carry it, you can bear it!" ”
That voice is simply to the bones, it is enjoyment to fall in the ears of Daddy Xiao, but if it falls in Xiao Yao's ears, it is equivalent to a magic sound, a peerless magic sound that can make people collapse.
But after all, the woman was his father's lover, and he couldn't take care of it, so he just pretended not to hear it and continued to move forward, but the mood was really bad.
"Okay, okay, my aunt, I'll just carry it!" Father Xiao walked after him, originally he could refuse to help carry things, but in order to stimulate his son, he still took those things, and the weight on his hands became heavier.
But when he looked at his son who was extremely calm in front of him, the unhappiness in Father Xiao's heart deepened, and his teeth rattled.
The three of them walked out of the airport one after another, and when they arrived in front of Xiao Yao's car, Xiao Yao still opened the car door without saying a word, and after sitting in, he didn't say anything to let them get in the car, but sat there and waited, with a posture of falling in love with the car and not getting in the car.
And the woman, who looked like Mr. Wolf's mother, quickly flashed a look of annoyance in her eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and she lowered her head to reveal a sneer that was not easy to detect.
Without his son's help, Father Xiao was also very helpless, but he didn't want to show his shortcomings in front of his son, so he simply opened the trunk by himself, stuffed those things in, and when he looked up, he saw the smiling woman standing in front of him, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Let's get in the car first, and I'll talk about other things when I go back." ”
The woman suddenly became very well-behaved, nodded and hummed, and then got into the car before him, and sat quietly in the back seat.
After the two of them got into the car, Xiao Yao started the car, turned around and drove home.
When he drove out for about seven or eight minutes, the doubt in Xiao Yao's heart finally couldn't be suppressed, and he cleared his throat and asked, "Who is she?" ”
This she obviously refers to the woman in the back seat, Daddy Xiao was sitting in the passenger seat, and when he heard his son ask himself, he didn't come back to his senses for a while, and looked at him sideways in a daze, and after a while he remembered what he was asking, and said, "You don't need to know, she, I'll take care of it." ”
"Well, I don't want to worry about your business either." Similarly, Xiao Yao didn't save a trace of face for his father, and he didn't even glance at Father Xiao, as if the two were not father and son, but strangers.
Father Xiao was angry again, choked by his words, and originally wanted to say something to alleviate the oppressive atmosphere, but at this moment he was completely out of thought, and simply turned his head to look out of the car window.
The two of them said something about the woman like this, as if they didn't care or worry about being heard by her, and the woman seemed to be a person with a relatively smart head and a relatively open vision, although she knew that she would not be able to do anything good when she came back with her, but she still maintained a decent posture and did not refute a word.
The night outside is extremely dark, but because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, it will not take long to see the sky full of fireworks, and the road ahead will be brightened by the fireworks.
When the car drove into the Xiao family's old house, Xiao Yao didn't ask his father if he wanted to bring this woman in, because Xiao Dad had already done this before he asked.
Because it was the Chinese New Year, the gatekeeper was not there tonight, and it was the housekeeper of the old mansion who was waiting for him when he heard the sound of the car, and he was about the same age as Old Man Xiao.
"The people finally got it back, and it's time to set off fireworks in two minutes." When the housekeeper saw the car stop, he hurriedly greeted him, with a kind face and a lovely smile, which gave people a very cordial feeling.
Xiao Yao saw the housekeeper as soon as he got out of the car, and his impression was quite good, so he also smiled at him and said, "When this time passes, I will be a year older." ”
Naturally, it also means another year of age.
Suddenly, he remembered the little girl who had no conscience, just now he had waited at the door of their house for so long and didn't come out to open the door, and he didn't know if it was open or not, but it hadn't been opened before, but there must have been someone in that house, and it was impossible not to hear the sound of his horn.
The housekeeper's surname is Liu, and the younger generations in the old house call him Grandpa Liu, listening to Xiao Yao's jokes at the moment, he also nodded, but he sighed slightly, as if he was lamenting that the days were going by quickly, and in this moment, he would be too old to do things anymore.
Daddy Xiao couldn't see the two of them sighing to each other there, thinking that he had finally gone home once, and it happened to be in time for the Chinese New Year, and in order not to get airsick when he was on the plane, there was nothing in his stomach, and it was all empty until now, so he instructed the few people who were following Grandpa Liu: "Come and move all the things in this trunk out and put them in the warehouse." ”
But I don't know if it's because he hasn't been home for too long, or because he has changed people many times in this old mansion, no one will listen to Daddy Xiao's instructions to do things, everyone stands still, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows whether to step forward to help.
Xiao Yao saw all this in his eyes, and there was a small smile in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he saw that those people had all walked over to help move things.
This is the Xiao family's old house, but it's not my father, he's used to staying abroad!
After packing up their things, the group walked inside, and when they crossed the threshold, they saw Old Man Xiao who had just come down from upstairs, as well as Xiao Chen and stepmother Zhao Xuan, who rarely did not play games at this time.
"Dad?" When Xiao Chen was born, Xiao Yao's mother had already left, so she didn't recognize who the woman standing next to Daddy Xiao looked like, and her eyes only saw her father, who was rarely returning to China, so she shouted.
Father Xiao nodded, he didn't have much impression of his little son, after all, he hadn't been home for a long time, and he had married his mother Zhao Xuan only because of that person's entrustment, otherwise he would not marry again.
Xiao Chen didn't recognize it, but Zhao Xuan did, his body was stunned, and he almost fell downstairs in the air.
"Mom, be careful!" Fortunately, Xiao Chen walked behind her, saw her leaning forward, and quickly pulled her from behind, so that there was no accident on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Zhao Xuan was uneasy at the moment, where could he still hear his son's words, a pair of eyes stared at the woman downstairs, her face was pale, and when she saw that woman, it was as if she was alive.
Is that woman a cousin? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back? Why come back now? Why do you have to come back at this time?
Is it because she blames her for robbing her husband or blames her for not taking care of Ah Yao?
Zhao Xuan's eyes were still staring at the man, and the woman just looked up to see her, and when she saw that she seemed to be surprised, the smile on her face deepened.
She's Mr. Xiao's second wife, right? It doesn't matter, soon she won't, because someone will take her place!
None of the others in the hall noticed the wrongness between the two, until the fireworks outside rang out, and the family, including the woman, followed Old Man Xiao outside to watch the fireworks.
At this time, even if there is a big contradiction, it will be temporarily put down, because this moment is the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and after this point in time, it will be the second year, which also means that everything will start again.
