Chapter 236 Inquiry

On the night of Bai Yunxi's arrival, Lu Jiwen called and said that their club was going to organize activities, so he wouldn't come back for dinner tonight or go home.

When I was downstairs, I heard Bai Yunxi say into the phone: "Where do you want to play?" Mom finally came once, why didn't you come back for a meal. ”

Sheng's steps slowed down and walked down the stairs little by little.

Bai Yunxi: "Why don't you go home all night?" Did you go out and play with the little girl? ”

"No, what's not? Then why don't you come back? ”

Sheng cautiously walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting for Bai Yunxi to finish the phone.

Bai Yunxi glanced at Sheng and continued to talk on the phone: "Then will you come back tomorrow?" Tomorrow is your ex-sister-in-law's birthday. ”

The hand that rests raw on the knee gradually clenches.

"Okay, then your brother and I will drive to pick you up tomorrow. Don't drink at the party, do you hear clearly? Don't mess with the women outside, don't you hear? ”

"Okay, then I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Yunxi buckled the phone to the coffee table, leaned back completely into the sofa, and asked Sheng with half-squinted eyes: "What are you doing down?" Watching TV? ”

Sheng hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I... Jisheng is coming back, and I usually wait for him here before he gets off work. ”

"Oh." Bai Yunxi rolled her eyelids, and her expression didn't fluctuate much.

Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull and awkward.

pinched her pants, thinking in her heart if she should say something at this time to enhance the relationship between herself and Bai Yunxi. But in reality, she couldn't say a word.

Sheng knew that Bai Yunxi should prefer a daughter-in-law like Ren Xi more than himself. Although she didn't know what kind of person Ren Xi was.

She always felt that between her and Bai Yunxi, they were like two people who insisted on getting together, they had no tacit understanding and didn't really know or like each other.

A shadow gradually loomed over the heads of the two women.

Fortunately, the instant sound of the door opening broke the deadlock, and it was Lu Jisheng who came back.

Bai Yunxi and Sheng stood up at the same time, Bai Yunxi's steps were faster and more eager, and she walked to the entrance one step ahead of Sheng.

"I'm back." Bai Yunxi put on a smiling face, and the indifferent expression just now disappeared at once.

Sheng stood behind Bai Yunxi in embarrassment, and everything she wanted to say was snatched away by her.

Lu Jisheng was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Bai Yunxi, but he quickly said "um", and then bent down to change his shoes.

"I came back early today." Bai Yunxi said with a smile.

"Well, it's not too busy today." After Lu Jisheng changed his shoes, he habitually took off his blazer and handed it out.

Usually at this time, Sheng directly takes over his coat.

But today is different, Bai Yunxi is also here today.

Bai Yunxi stretched out his hand to his coat almost at the same time.

"I'll do it." Just as Bai Yunxi's fingertips were about to touch his coat, Lu Jisheng took his hand back.

Then, he crossed Bai Yunxi and handed the coat to Sheng: "No. Mom, go back and rest first. ”

Sheng took the coat and hugged it to her chest, she could clearly feel the roll of the eyes that Bai Yunxi threw at her.

"Where's Xiao Yu?" Bai Yunxi asked after Lu Jisheng's footsteps.

"He's gone to Grandma's house." Lu Jisheng replied.

"Oh, let's pick him up tomorrow." Bai Yunxi and Lu Jisheng walked side by side and walked towards the restaurant.

Sheng followed silently behind with her coat, and Aunt Lin came over to her and said, "Come, give it to me." ”

Sheng handed the coat to Aunt Lin, but didn't look at Aunt Lin. She was staring at Lu Jisheng and Bai Yunxi's backs the whole time, with obvious unhappiness on her face.

Bai Yunxi's enthusiastic attitude at this time, which was completely different from when she was alone, and the laughter that Bai Yunxi deliberately amplified, all made Sheng's sense of being left out worse.

A sumptuous dinner as usual, but the taste of raw food is the same as chewing wax.

I don't know if it's because she's pregnant, she suddenly has no appetite.

And Bai Yunxi at the dinner table has been trying to talk to Lu Jisheng, sentence after sentence, as if he was deliberately not giving Sheng a chance to speak.

While chatting with Bai Yunxi, Lu Jisheng sandwiched a piece of fried tenderloin onto the raw plate.

This small action made Bai Yunxi's eyes narrow.

Sheng was not happy at all, she usually likes to eat tenderloin, but now she feels that the fried taste on it is very strong and pungent.

There is also a little ...... Disgusting.

However, Sheng still resisted the feeling of nausea in his stomach and ate the piece of meat into his mouth.

"By the way, what about Jiwen?" Lu Jisheng then remembered that he seemed to have a younger brother.

"He," Bai Yunxi sighed in a doting and helpless tone, "He said that he wanted to participate in club activities, eat out, and not come back at night." ”

"Oh." Lu Jisheng's expression was not wavering.

Sheng suddenly covered his mouth and stood up: "I'll go to the bathroom." ”

Then he trotted all the way to the toilet with his head down, closed the door and vomited on the toilet.

Lu Jisheng put down his chopsticks, and his eyes kept glancing in the direction of the bathroom.

Bai Yunxi knew that giving birth was a normal reaction in the early stages of pregnancy, but Lu Jisheng didn't know, he waited in his seat for a while, and found that it took a long time to give birth.

Seeing that Lu Jisheng's attention was all attracted by the student who had already left the table, Bai Yunxi opened his mouth and asked, "Has the matter of the car accident in the hotel last time been resolved?" ”

The corners of Lu Jisheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "I'm going through the procedure." ”

Bai Yunxi: "I mean, didn't their families come to the hotel to make trouble for the two people who died in the guest room?" ”

Lu Jisheng looked at Bai Yunxi's face, and wondered why she suddenly cared about this issue.

But Bai Yunxi's face still had a calm expression, just like the expression she usually had when she chatted with her son.

Lu Jisheng took a sip of tea: "The family has come to me, and we are negotiating." ”

"Negotiation?!" Bai Yunxi suddenly aggravated her tone, "Are you asking for compensation?" Or are you asked to cooperate with the investigation? ”

Lu Jisheng faintly felt that Bai Yunxi's attitude was very strange, she didn't care much about the company's affairs in the past, but today she suddenly asked about this matter repeatedly.

"Well, the family of the deceased has contacted me." Lu Jisheng said vaguely.

"The family of the deceased? Which family member? What is it called? Bai Yunxi immediately asked.

“…… Why are you so concerned about this? Lu Jisheng was puzzled.

Sheng finally came back from the bathroom, she covered her lower abdomen the whole time, and her face was a little pale.

Bai Yunxi saw that he had returned to the dinner table, so he didn't ask about it anymore.

Lu Jisheng didn't ask any more questions. But he still read from Bai Yunxi's expression that she was still very concerned about this matter in her heart, unusually concerned.
