"Brother Xu Xiang, sister Xia Yao, you are so noisy, Xiao Yu was woken up by you." Accompanied by the sound of intermittent footsteps, a certain "landlord" who seemed to be still awake with a pillow in his arms rubbed his sleepy eyes, While pouting, he came into the sight of Xu Xiang, Xia Yao and their mother.
The one who calls herself "Little Yu" is naturally Fang Xinyu.
Seeing Fang Xinyu, compared to Xia Yao's mother who was stunned, Xu Xiang and Xia Yao calmed down a lot. After all, it was expected. The latter waved to Fang Xinyu and said with a little apology: "Xiao Yu, I'm sorry. Oh, we are too noisy, come, come to sister Xia Yao."
"Um."
Nodding her head, Fang Xinyu walked towards Xia Yao with her pillow in her arms, but out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of Xia Yao's mother on the opposite side, she was startled, her drowsiness disappeared, and she ran to Xia Yao's side in three steps at a time and stood guard. She said coquettishly, "What are you doing here, old woman? Do you want sister Xia Yao to marry that ugly man again? Xiao Yu won't let you succeed!"
A long time ago, when Fang Xinyu accompanied Xia Yao to the supermarket to buy things, she met Xia Yao's mother, and there was also an "ugly man", that is, Guo Xunlin, which made her react like this.
"Xiaoyu, don't worry, brother Xu Xiang is here." He reached out and touched Fang Xinyu's head, Xu Xiang smiled, then turned around and said in a sarcastic tone, "Why, do you need me to help you?" Shout out a few more times and see if the 'landlord' will show up?"
What Xu Xiang said made Xia Yao's mother's face turn red and turn pale. After all, she spoke so loudly just now, if there was anyone else, she should have woken up by now.
"Mom, this house belongs to Xu Xiang." Presumably because she couldn't bear to embarrass her mother too much, Xia Yao bit her lip and said, and immediately hugged Fang Xinyu into her arms, probably because she moved too much and accidentally touched the wound, frowning She frowned, but unfortunately her kindness was not accepted by her mother.
"Even if this 'poor boy' owns this house, it must have been bought with a loan from others, right?" Xia Yao's mother didn't notice her daughter's strange behavior, but said with a very sure tone of snort.
"Hehe..." Seeing Xia Yao's mother like this, Xu Xiang didn't bother to talk to her anymore, he smiled noncommittally, and leaned back on the sofa at the same time, he didn't feel obligated to prove to others that he bought this house , not to mention that he didn't think explanations would be of even the slightest use.
Xia Yao's mother believed that Xu Xiang was still the "poor boy" before. As long as this major premise exists, it is useless to say anything.
"Mom, didn't you say there is something important? What is it?" Before Xia Yao's mother could speak again, Xia Yao said first. Xiang's side, even though her mother was wrong from the beginning.
"Hmph." Xia Yao's mother took it for granted that Xia Yao was covering for Xu Xiang again, so she snorted softly and said, "Your father is ill, I want you to go back."
"Father is sick?!" Hearing the key word in her mother's words, Xia Yao stood up from the sofa at once, ignoring the pain coming from below, and asked anxiously, "What is the disease? How long has it been? Is it serious? Should I ask for leave and rest at home now?"
If Xia Yao had little words for her mother, then she would only respect her father. If it wasn't for her father, it might be difficult to even live in Xu Xiang's house, at least her mother would come to quarrel every few days.
"Well, it's quite serious. I've been resting at home for a few days, so I'll come to you and visit him." Seemingly caught off guard by Xia Yao's series of questions, Xia Yao's mother replied hesitantly, her eyes flickering Looking around, he completely lost the complacency of the previous few seconds.
"Okay, I'll right away..." Apparently disturbed by the news of her father's illness, Xia Yao didn't notice her mother's strange condition, but made a gesture to get up and walk towards the entrance, but was grabbed by Xu Xiang.
"Xia Yao, wait a minute." Although the words were addressed to Xia Yao, Xu Xiang's eyes kept on her mother, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through people thoroughly, and said in a deep voice , "Since it's serious, why not send it to the hospital?"
Maybe it was because she was also surprised that she wasn't sent to the hospital, or maybe it was because of her trust in Xu Xiang, Xia Yao didn't leave in a hurry, but looked at her mother with puzzled eyes.
"This..." Seeing Xu Xiang's sharp eyes felt a little guilty, Xia Yao's mother was at a loss for words, paused for a few seconds before quickly saying, "It's too troublesome to send to the hospital, and... it will cost a lot of money..."
"You say it's serious and you're still worried about money?" Seeing Xia Yao's mother's appearance, plus she didn't mention anything about Xia Yao's father's illness before, until Xia Yao mentioned it, and her tone was flat, a little Don't worry, Xu Xiang can basically guess the truth.
"That's right, Mom, since it's serious, it's better to go to the hospital." Xia Yao seemed to think that her mother was worried about Qian, and persuaded her earnestly.
"Take your dad to the hospital when you get home, so let's go quickly!" Xia Yao's mother obviously didn't want to continue discussing this topic, she said with an uncertain expression, and walked forward a few steps to go He held Xia Yao's hand, but Xu Xiang blocked it.
"Xu Xiang?" This time, Xia Yao's object of doubt became Xu Xiang. After all, she wanted to go back to see her sick father, so it was justified both emotionally and rationally.
"I'm not trying to stop you from seeing your father." With a meaningful look at Xia Yao's mother, Xu Xiang said with a smile on his lips, "Just go to the hospital directly. I'll call the hospital and let them go." Take your dad there in an ambulance."
"No!" Before Xia Yao could answer, her mother denied it loudly, which also made Xu Xiang really affirm his guess.
"No? I'll pay for all the medical expenses. Is there anything else I can't do?" Letting go of Xia Yao's hand, Xu Xiang stared at her mother and said in a low and solemn tone, "Or is there actually no Sickness, is this just an excuse for you to let Xia Yao go back with you?"
"Excuse?" Seeing that her mother didn't refute Xu Xiang's words, Xia Yao also sensed something was wrong, and asked eagerly, "Xu Xiang, what's going on?"
"What's going on?" Xu Xiang glanced at Xia Yao's mother, whose face was cloudy and uncertain, and said lightly, but there was an undeniable taste, "I guess it's her grandfather who is soloing again, which is the arrangement of Shangguan's family. Promise any benefits, let your mother take you back."
