Chapter 259: A Dilemma
Mu Xuncheng drove the car and soon arrived at Mu's house.
As soon as he stepped into the house with Bai Yu in his arms, the two old men greeted him.
Seeing Bai Yu, smiles appeared on the faces of the two old men. Bai Yu was already a little sleepy in the car, but when he saw the two old men, he immediately became much more energetic.
happily shouted, "Grandpa, grandma." β
"Hey, hey." When the two old men heard Bai Yu call themselves like this, their hearts were simply happy.
Mu Xuncheng put Bai Yu on the ground, and Bai Yu trotted all the way to Mu Mu's arms.
Mu Mu picked up Bai Yu and looked at Mu Xuncheng: "How is it?" β
"We'll talk about the specific situation later, anyway, we have to wait for news from the doctor." Mu Mu nodded, indicating understanding.
Mu Mu and Old Man Mu played with Bai Yu for a while. Old Man Mu pushed open Mu Xuncheng's study.
Sure enough, I saw Mu Xuncheng sitting at his desk, smoking a cigarette.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Mu Xuncheng raised his head, and seeing that it was Mu Lao, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Dad." β
Since Bai Yu appeared, the atmosphere of the Mu family has really been a lot more harmonious, just like before, Old Man Mu would never have imagined that he would be able to sit here and talk with his son calmly.
"I see that you seem to have something on your mind, is it because of Xiaoyu's matter?" Old Man Mu sat on the sofa and took out a cigarette.
Mu Xuncheng hurriedly stepped forward and ordered it for Old Man Mu.
Old Man Mu took a puff of cigarette, and then coughed violently twice.
Mu Xuncheng stood up and looked at Mu Lao worriedly.
Mu Lao waved his hand, signaling that he was fine. He coughed twice more and said with feeling: "I'm old, I haven't smoked for a long time." It's you, who have been preoccupied since you came back. What the hell is going on? Is it Xiaoyu's illness? β
Mu Xuncheng shook his head: "No, what is the result of Xiao Yu's illness, it will take two days to know." β
"And what are you? If you know that it will happen sooner or later, as the heir of our Mu family, you should have a better psychological quality than anyone. β
"I know, Dad, I'm just a little uncomfortable."
"What's wrong?"
"Xiaoyu's illness, we all know very well in our hearts, it was all caused by me. I'm really a little scared now, if the doctor can't save Xiaoyu, I'm really ashamed of my son. β
Mu Xuncheng pulled his hair irritably, the original meticulous hairstyle, he was caught in a mess.
"At this point, there is no point in talking about this, what we can do now is to prepare for the worst, if it really comes to the point of being out of control, we don't have to blame ourselves too much, after all, we have done our best. Regarding Xiaoyu's illness, I know that you blame yourself very much, but the past is an unchangeable fact, what can you do now even if you are annoyed? β
"I understand all of this. I just ......"
"Okay, don't worry about it anymore, go downstairs with me to see what your mother is playing with Xiaoyu." Old Man Mu opened the door, and Bai Yu's happy laughter came from outside the door.
Mu Xuncheng nodded, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked out with Old Man Mu.
Bai Yu had been at Mu's house until the evening before he reluctantly left. Leng Qingxi had called several times to urge, and Bai Yucai reluctantly said to Mu Xuncheng: "Bad uncle, will you take Xiaoyu to see your grandparents next time?" β
"Of course, as long as Xiaoyu is obedient, uncle, he will definitely bring Xiaoyu here." Mu Xuncheng promised.
"Alright then, let's go back."
Bai Yu turned around and said to the two old men in a matter-of-fact manner: "Grandpa, Xiaoyu is going back, you have to take care." β
The two old men looked at Bai Yu's serious appearance, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we must listen to Xiaoyu." β
Bai Yu nodded, took Mu Xuncheng's hand, and walked towards the gate.
Looking at Bai Yu's disappearing figure, Mu Mu let out a long sigh.
Old Man Mu stepped forward and gently stroked his wife's shoulder. Mu's mother raised her head and looked at her husband as if she were there.
With a sigh, he turned and went back to his room.
Mu Xuncheng drove Bai Yu home, and on the way Mu Xuncheng told Bai Yu that today's matter must continue to be kept secret, if Leng Qingxi knows, then he will never be able to take Bai Yu out to play in the future.
Bai Yu nodded in understanding.
When he arrived at Leng Qingxi's home, Leng Qingxi was already waiting at the door.
No matter how many times Mu Xuncheng took Bai Yu out alone, Leng Qingxi's habit has not changed, Mu Xuncheng knows that Leng Qingxi still doesn't trust him.
Leng Qingxi took Bai Yu from Mu Xuncheng's hand and asked casually, "Where did you go today?" β
"Zoo."
"Amusement park."
Father and son spoke together, but they gave different answers.
Leng Qingxi looked at the two people suspiciously, and asked strangely, "What?" Aren't you all in this together? β
"Oh, yes, we went to the zoo first, and then to the playground." Mu Xuncheng hurriedly replied.
"I was so scared that you left my son alone to see the animals." Leng Qingxi gave Mu Xuncheng a fierce look.
Mu Xuncheng quietly stuck out his tongue at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu looked at Mu Xuncheng and giggled.
Leng Qingxi didn't know about the small interaction between their father and son, just gave them a strange look, and took Bai Yu back to the house.
Mu Xuncheng stood at the door of Leng Qingxi's house, his hand still hanging in the air, looking at the backs of the mother and son, he had to withdraw his hand in embarrassment.
In the evening, Xiao Li and Wente came to Leng Qingxi's house.
Seeing Bai Yu, Xiao Li ran forward exaggeratedly, hugged Bai Yu, and kissed a few times: "Xiao Yu, I miss Aunt Xiao Li." β
Bai Yu blushed and whispered, "Aunt Xiao Li, she is a boy. β
"Oops, what's wrong with the boy? At a young age, have you learned to be shy? Xiao Li said with a smile, Xiao Li's words made everyone laugh, and Bai Yu's face turned even redder.
Leng Qingxi prepared dinner for Xiao Li and Wente, and the two of them were not polite, so they had dinner at Leng Qingxi's house.
After dinner, Bai Yu and Xiao Li played for a while, and then they got tired.
Today, after a day of tossing, and playing at Mu's house for an afternoon in the afternoon, at this time, Bai Yu was already a little unbearable, sitting in Xiao Li's arms and nodding like a chicken, which made Xiao Li laugh again.
Leng Qingxi sent Bai Yu back to the room before returning to the living room.
Xiao Li asked, "Xiao Yu slept?" Leng Qingxi nodded.
"So, how is today?" Vent asked.
"It has been diagnosed, but the specific situation still has to wait for the results, and it is still uncertain whether surgery is needed or only conservative treatment."
Leng Qingxi lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Xiao Li stretched out his hand, covered Leng Qingxi's hand, and patted it comfortingly.
"It's okay, I know." Leng Qingxi raised his head and pretended to be strong and said, "Xiaoyu and I have already experienced so many things, and this time, we will definitely survive." β
"That's right, everything has to be thought in a good direction." Venter followed suit.
"By the way, what is the Mu family's attitude towards this matter?" Xiao Li asked.
"The old man of the Mu family didn't come forward, I think Mu Xuncheng said something to them. At the beginning, they also told me that they wanted Xiaoyu to return to the Mu family, but I haven't seen them again recently. I think they should also be in Xiaoyu's business. β
"What about Mu Xun City?"
"Today, it was Mu Xuncheng who accompanied me to the hospital." Leng Qingxi sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Xiao Yu would listen to Mu Xuncheng's words so much. As you know, this kid has always been resistant to the hospital, but I didn't get his job done last night. If it weren't for Mu Xuncheng coming this morning, I really don't know what to do. β
Leng Qingxi truthfully told Xiao Li what happened this morning.
Xiao Li and Wente nodded one after another.
"From this point of view, this Mu Xuncheng has a bit of a conscience." Although Xiao Li said this, when he mentioned the name Mu Xuncheng, the expression on his face was still not good-looking.
"Then what is Mu Xuncheng's attitude towards you?" Venter continued.
"He, I don't know, maybe it's guilt. After Ling Fei'er died, she said a lot of things, and he also knew. So, I think he felt guilty about our mother and son. β
"What's the use of being ashamed? No matter how much he does now, he can't make up for the damage he did before. Xiao Li said indignantly: "I'll tell you, Sister Qingxi, you must not forgive him." β
"I know, I know." Leng Qingxi nodded.
"I don't think so." Venter said suddenly.
"What are you talking about?" Xiao Li pushed Twitter's shoulder hard and looked at him angrily.
"I'm serious, Qingxi, have you ever considered such a question, in this situation, only Mu Xuncheng can help you, and besides, he is also Bai Yu's biological father, and he will definitely spare no effort for his son."
"Don't talk nonsense, Sister Qingxi still has us. yes, Sister Qingxi. β
Xiao Li looked at Leng Qingxi and said seriously.
Leng Qingxi smiled reluctantly at this Xiao Li, but did not speak.
Wente shook his head: "Don't be naΓ―ve, how much can you help Qingxi, if Xiaoyu's illness really needs surgery, can you afford the high surgery fee?" If something really happens to Xiaoyu, can you take care of Qingxi? β
"I won't let you talk nonsense!" Xiao Li stood up suddenly, obviously angering Vent's words.
Venter stopped talking, just looked at Leng Qingxi.
Leng Qingxi only felt a chill hit her body.
Venter's right, she's been running away from the question these days.
If Bai Yu's illness really reaches that point, what should he do, now that he thinks about it, in this world, except for Mu Xuncheng, there is really no one who can help him.
Leng Qingxi lowered his head in pain and whispered, "I don't know, I don't know what to do." β
"Sister Qingxi, don't listen to his nonsense, I think he's crazy. What do you mean? Let Sister Qingxi forgive Mu Xuncheng? β
"No, I didn't mean that, Qingxi, you can not forgive Mu Xuncheng, but I don't think you need to refuse Mu Xuncheng's help. After all, this is not a gambling thing, it is related to Xiaoyu's life. Of course, Xiao Li and I will definitely do everything to help you, but our help is only a drop in the bucket after all. β
"I understand, I'll consider your words carefully." Leng Qingxi looked at the two good friends in front of him with a pale face and said.
