said that it was ten minutes, Lin Xi didn't like to be late, but in the end, he stepped on the time to enter the door.

There weren't many people in the café at this time, and as soon as she entered, she saw two women sitting inside.

Aunt Rong usually pays attention to maintenance, and she is close to fifty years old, and she looks about the same as her early forties. But Bai Xu's mother next to her is different.

As Aunt Rong's younger sister-in-law, Bai Xu's mother should be younger, but she has been suffering from illness all these years and has been conditioning her body, looking thin and haggard.

In memory, Bai Xu's mother was a woman who didn't talk much but was very gentle.

It's so gentle, it can be said that it's the kind that has no temper.

Lin Xi really hasn't seen her get angry with anyone, and she always looks smiling when she sees anyone, she is really a woman from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. But with the death of Bai Xu's father, Bai Xu is not worry-free, she seems to have aged a lot overnight.

In recent years, Bai Xu's mother has been living in a nursing home, and it is said that she will only return to the compound during the New Year's holidays.

"Aunt Rong." Lin Xi stepped forward, and according to her seniority, she wanted to call Bai Xu's mother the second aunt, "Second aunt." ”

"Xixi, sit down." The second aunt squeezed out a smile and took her hand to sit down.

"Didn't disturb Xixi's work, did you?"

"Nope." Treating Bai Xu's mother, Lin Xi is still very patient, "Is the second aunt in good health recently?" ”

"I ......" The second aunt was about to answer, but Aunt Rong next to her suddenly spoke: "Your second aunt was in good health some time ago, but she has been a little uncomfortable in the past few days. ”

This time frame is too small, and it is clear that it means something.

Coupled with Cheng Si's repeated reminders last night, it was not difficult for Lin Xi to guess the purpose of the two of them's trip.

To be exact, it should be Aunt Rong's purpose.

The second aunt has a soft temperament and has always been a very good person. So after marrying into the Bai family, she has no say in major matters, she listens to Aunt Rong, and what Aunt Rong says is what she says, and she rarely refutes.

So this time, the second aunt was pulled over by Aunt Rong.

In this case, Lin Xi gave Aunt Rong this opportunity and took the initiative to ask:

"Is there anything that the second aunt has been worried about lately?"

Aunt Rong didn't make a sound this time, but just glanced at Bai Xu's mother twice.

After a while, the second aunt sighed, "It's not Bai Xu yet." I thought he should have grown up after working for a few years. Who knows...... Still so fond of messing around. ”

"Xixi should have heard about it, Xiao Xu and the youngest son of the Lu family not long ago." Aunt Rong accosted beside her.

Just as the waiter came over, Lin Xi nodded slightly, signaling the other party to put down the coffee.

After waiting for them to leave, she replied unhurriedly: "I heard." I went back to the hospital as soon as possible and learned about the situation from the fourth brother. ”

"It should be an accident, don't be too sad for the second aunt. I heard that the Lu family didn't care about this matter, and Lu Bei didn't seem to be seriously injured. ”

Aunt Rong: "That's because your third brother came forward." ”

She seemed to be deliberately emphasizing, Lin Xi raised her eyes, and heard Aunt Rong say again: "This time it doesn't look like an accident, Xiao Xu seems to have bumped into it on purpose." ”

"Aunt Rong, where did you hear this?" Lin Xi felt that the second aunt was so sad, in fact, half of the reason was that Aunt Rong was fanning the flames, which only increased her troubles.

"It's not the same version I've heard. The fifth brother and Lu Bei don't know each other, for no reason, how can you deliberately say this. ”

"I see, not necessarily. Xiao Xu has always been very attentive to you, Lu Bei pesters you, he may really be able to do this kind of thing for you. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were no longer targeted intentionally or unintentionally just now.

Completely singled out, pointing the finger at Lin Xi.

After glancing at each other, Lin Xi suddenly smiled.

Bai Rong frowned, Lin Xi was very much like her father when she wasn't smiling, the kind of eyes that didn't matter what she looked at.

Her father was a typical "nerd", a straight man in science and engineering. All minds are on research. It's not like behind the door at all, compared with the boss of the Lin family, there is a little less coldness and a little more rigidity.

And when Lin Xi laughed, she was a little like her mother.

Thinking of that woman, Bai Rong clenched his hands.

Even after so many years, she still hates the Lin family and his wife.

Especially Lin Xi's mother.

This has become a hurdle for her that she can't get over.

Thinking back then, she lost the upbringing of the eldest lady and complained hysterically, while on the other side, Lin Xi's father just frowned. Looking at Lin Xi's mother again, she stayed out of the way the whole process, sitting nobly in her place, smiling at her shallowly.

In stark contrast to her embarrassment at the time, at that moment, the woman didn't say anything, but her smile was all insult.

"Lu Bei and I can't talk about entanglement, we haven't been in touch for a long time. Aunt Rong really wronged me. ”

Even if there were elders on the other side, Lin Xi didn't mean to give face at all. The words are blunt and biting:

"Aunt Rong saw that I didn't like me and said bluntly, there is no need to blame me in a roundabout way. To say that the fifth brother did this kind of thing for me, it would be too exalting to me. ”

The smile on Bai Rong's face faded.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the second aunt was frightened, and hurriedly explained: "No, Xixi, don't think about it." We just listened to some rumors outside, Xixi don't go to heart. ”

The second aunt was afraid that she would be angry, "Actually, this time, my aunt wants you to help persuade Bai Xu." ”

"I heard that he was dishonest again last night, you can help your aunt talk about him."

"His kid really doesn't listen to anyone now. Your third brother taught him like that doesn't work. ”

"He's not close to anyone, so he's on better terms with you. So my aunt really can't ......."

"I'm afraid that if he continues like this, he will do something out of the ordinary like back then."

"I called him today, and he was also impatient and couldn't listen at all."

"The old man has been pampering him again."

The second aunt sighed heavily, tears shining in her eyes.

Lin Xi held her hand instead, "I can't figure out the temperament of the fifth brother, and the two of us were a little unhappy last night." But don't worry, I try to communicate with him well to avoid him making mistakes. ”

"Last night's incident was indeed a misunderstanding, and I was partly responsible for it."

"I've heard it all, and you're right. It's just that he is a little impulsive, he doesn't pay attention to who is uncomfortable, and he doesn't pay attention to the reason, he can do what he wants. Alas, they are all spoiled by me. ”

Last night's events were roughly passed, and in fact, they spread as soon as possible.

Although Qin Yu came forward later and stopped the rumors. But if the elders like the second aunt want to inquire, it is not a difficult thing.

Lin Xi is not a person who likes to cause trouble, and everyone around him knows it.

So the second aunt didn't blame her.

All the problems are Bai Xu's fault.

She still knows what her son looks like.

After appeasing the second aunt, Lin Xi wanted to go back to the meeting.

"You go back to the car, I'll send Xixi off." Aunt Rong stopped the second aunt and her eyes fell on Lin Xi.
