Xu Zhenning's cheeks were red and swollen, but she had no time to take care of it. She wanted to chase him out, but Xia Lan blocked her. The nanny at home heard the noise and came out.

Xia Lan didn't want the nanny to hear about the family affairs, so she took Xu Zhenning up to the second floor, entered the study, and closed the door to isolate the sound from outside.

Xu Zhenning took advantage of Xia Lan to let go and opened the door again to go downstairs, but heard Xia Lan say: "If you dare to chase him, don't say he is my daughter in the future!"

Xia Lan is not joking or threatening, with her strong temper she can definitely do what she says!

"Mom!" Xu Zhenning's eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness: "I just like him and want to stay by his side. Why are you doing this?"

"Xu Zhenning, are you still a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old? If you are in love all day long, you are just a man. You are better than him. Why do you hang yourself on a tree like Yu Shaoting? Besides, he is also

Now that you have a child, are you really ready to be a stepmother?"

Xu Zhenning said: "That child can be considered your grandson. He is cousin Shuyuan's child. Wouldn't it be better for me to take care of him than other women?"

Xia Lan looked at her stubborn daughter and didn't want to waste any more words with her: "You should give up this idea, I will not agree to you marry him."

"Why?" Xu Zhenning could no longer calm down: "Is it because he is married and has children?"

Xia Lan didn't say anything, indirectly acquiescing to this reason.

Xu Zhenning's eyes were moist: "Didn't my father still marry you with children? Why can't you think about it for me?"

"Thinking about you? I don't agree with you being together, just for your own good." Xia Lan said, feeling powerless for her daughter's persistence, "Hasn't your eldest aunt made it clear yet? He, Yu Shaoting, has someone. He is not careless.

But that heart is not with you! Why are you still so stupid?!"

My feelings for many years have been denied and belittled by my mother.

Xu Zhenning couldn't help but retort: ​​"Didn't my father also have a beloved woman back then, and that woman also gave birth to a child? Didn't you also snatch her away..."

"Pah!" What interrupted Xu Zhenning was a slap in the face.

Xia Lan's hand dropped to her side, and her palm ached slightly. It could be seen how strong the slap was, and she clenched her fingers tightly.

Xu Zhenning covered her face and shed tears: "Did I say something wrong? You can do it, why can't I?"

"Xu Zhenning, I don't want to hear these words again in my life." Xia Lan said in a cold voice with a cold expression: "If you continue to be so stubborn, you will destroy yourself in the end." After saying that, Xia Lan turned and left.

, when he reached the door, he turned his head again.

"Don't blame Mom. Everything Mom says and does now is for your own good. Your cousin Shuyuan passed away and Yu Shaoting went abroad. You were eager to chase her. Did I stop you? You lived alone abroad for him, and I also

I never said a word, but now, I will never let you continue to mess around."

The study door opened and closed, Xu Zhenning covered her red and swollen face and slowly squatted on the ground.

——————————

The next day, Bai Xiao got up very early, feeling refreshed, and went to the vegetable market with Aunt Li.

Although Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, Jing Xing mentioned on the phone yesterday that they were taking the flight back to Fengcheng this morning. Then they could still make it in time for lunch.

While buying groceries, Bai Xiao looked at her phone. It was past seven o'clock, thinking that Yu Shaoting had to catch a nine o'clock flight and should be awake by now.

Because Aunt Li was nearby, Bai Xiao didn't call and sent a text message to Yu Shaoting, asking him what he wanted to eat for lunch.

After a long time, without getting a reply, Bai Xiao called, but the other party turned off his phone.

Bai Xiao knew that passengers had to turn off their phones before the plane took off, so she didn't call him repeatedly. Instead, she asked Aunt Li to buy some vegetables.

——————————

Yu Jingxi had already gotten up, and Bai Xiao returned to Qinyuan. At the door of the villa, he saw the little guy standing by the fence, holding a small bowl and eating breakfast.

Bai Xiao went in carrying big and small bags. The little guy followed her and asked while eating dumplings: "Why so early? What did you buy?"

Yu Jingxi likes to eat seafood, so Bai Xiao specially bought a large lobster with Aunt Li and planned to make lobster with scallion oil for him at noon.

Bai Xiao entered the kitchen, and the little guy also wandered in. He saw the vegetables all over the floor and asked Bai Xiao: "Why did you buy so many vegetables? I can't finish them."

"..." Bai Xiao washed his hands and touched Yu Jingxi's head: "Your father will be back at noon."

Yu Jingxi slurred while chewing the dumplings: "Then you're finished. Dad won't be back at noon, maybe tomorrow."

Bai Xiao was stunned: "Who told you?"

"What I heard just now is that my father called grandma and said that my master Zeng fell ill in the middle of the night and needed rescue..."

Seeing that Bai Xiao was silent, the little guy realized that he had said the wrong thing. He immediately shut his mouth tightly, looked at Bai Xiao twice, chewed the dumplings, turned around and ran away.

——————————

Mrs. Yu originally went into the kitchen to get breakfast, but she heard Yu Jingxi's words at the door, and then saw the little guy coming out holding a bowl.

"Grandma." Yu Jingxi shouted guiltily, turned around and glanced at the kitchen, then looked at Mrs. Yu and muttered: "I didn't mean it."

Mrs. Yu stroked his soft hair: "Grandma knows."

Yu Jingxi scratched her ears with her little fleshy hands, feeling a little annoyed. Mrs. Yu said, "Don't worry, grandma will explain it to her."

The little guy then walked away, finished eating the dumplings, and walked obediently to the side of the villa, picked up the soft and thin water pipe on the side, and helped water the grandma who was pruning the plants.

Bai Xiao filled a bowl of porridge and was about to go out. When he saw Mrs. Yu coming in, "Auntie."

Mrs. Yu glanced at the ingredients she had just bought on the ground: "I heard Aunt Li say that you went to the market with her this morning?"

"Yes." Bai Xiao handed the bowl of porridge to the old lady. The old lady took the bowl and said, "Shaoting called me just now."

"You know the Xu family in the capital, right?"

Bai Xiao nodded. As the natal family of Yu Shaoting's late wife, if she said she didn't know now, Mrs. Yu might not believe it.

Seeing that Bai Xiao didn't ask any more questions, Mrs. Yu simply said it all herself: "In the early morning, Shuyuan's grandfather suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and was sent to the hospital for rescue. Shaoting went on a business trip to the capital and did not hide it from the people there. After all,

Yes...he has no reason not to visit."

"I understand." Bai Xiao is not an unreasonable person, and he also understands the importance of things.

Old Mrs. Yu observed Bai Xiao's expression and saw that she was really not angry. She sighed and said, "As long as you can be considerate. I can't explain the twists and turns here. By the way, Shao Ting thought you were okay."

I fell asleep, so I didn't call you. I might call you later."

Bai Xiao heard that the old lady was afraid that she would think too much, so she specifically said the following sentence.

Although Mrs. Yu is confused on weekdays, she is not really stupid. She is just mild-tempered and doesn't like to argue with others.

As soon as the old lady left the kitchen, Bai Xiao's cell phone rang. When she picked it up, the person over there asked, "Are you awake?" with a slightly surprised tone.

"What time is it..." Bai Xiao could tell from his voice that his cold had not improved, but had gotten worse: "Have you taken your medicine?"

"Eat." Yu Shaoting said at the other end.

Then, the people on both ends of the phone stopped talking.

Bai Xiao held the phone, thought for a while, and said, "Your mother has told me, how is the Xu family member... now?"

"..." Yu Shaoting did not answer immediately. He answered after a while: "I just finished the operation and have passed the critical period."

"You should also pay attention to rest and don't forget to take your medicine."

"...Hmm." The man on the other end responded in a low voice.

Bai Xiao realized that he had nothing to say again, so he said: "Then hang up now, I have to go to work later."

——————————

Yu Shaoting put away his cell phone, turned around, and looked up to see Xu Jingwen, Xu Shuyuan's father and Mr. Xu's eldest son, coming out of the ward.

Xu Jingwen has the calmness and elegance of a man in the officialdom. He already knows something about Yu Shaoting from his wife, but unlike Liang Huizhen who can't let go, he thinks it's normal for Yu Shaoting to marry again, and he still appreciates him.

son in law.

Compared with women who have long hair and short knowledge, men always see things more deeply and comprehensively.

Xu Jingwen came over, patted Yu Shaoting's shoulder, and said, "You've been on guard all night, go back and rest."

Yu Shaoting glanced at the ward: "How is grandpa doing now?"

"As you get older, you will always have these and other problems with your body. This time I was discovered in time. The doctor said that I may have symptoms of a mild stroke."

The door to the ward opened again, and Xia Lan came out wearing a doctor's white coat.

Seeing Xu Jingwen in the corridor, Xia Lan nodded. As for Yu Shaoting, she glanced at him lightly and then walked away.

Yu Shaoting raised his eyebrows. After what happened last night, he had expected Xia Lan's attitude, so he didn't take it seriously.

Xu Jingwen actually knew that Xia Lan's daughter had been pursuing Yu Shaoting over the years. He felt a little uncomfortable at first, but in the end he turned a blind eye. But now that Xia Lan is like this, he is afraid that his niece and Yu Shaoting will not get along.

. Therefore, Xu Jingwen could not help but be curious about the woman next to Yu Shaoting.

"When you came back to the capital last time, why didn't you come and sit at home?" Xu Jingwen only has a daughter, Xu Shuyuan, and now the family is quite deserted without the child.

Thinking of his daughter, he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of how angry his wife was when she came home that time, she probably said some unpleasant things to Yu Shaoting.

"Your mother has such a hot temper, but she actually doesn't have any bad intentions."

Yu Shaoting talked to Xu Jingwen for a while, then went to the ward to visit Mr. Xu before leaving the hospital.

——————————

Xu Zhenning rushed to the hospital, but only saw Xu Jingwen in the ward. She couldn't help showing a disappointed expression, but she still called: "Uncle."

"Come to see grandpa?" Xu Jingwen glanced at her.
