She took a step forward, held Xia Dabai in her arms, let the child kiss her twice, and then greeted the two elders: "Dad, Mom."
The voice was soft, not as lively as usual.
"What's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" The old lady was much more sensitive than the old man, and since she was her own daughter, she could naturally see through her at a glance.
Bai Suye shook her head, "No."
Not much to say.
"I got sick?"
The old lady raised her hand and touched her forehead.
"Maybe..." She said in a weak voice.
The old man looked at her with a serious expression, "Is your old illness coming back? It was raining last night, and you didn't sleep well?"
The old lady then remembered her previous insomnia problem. She looked at her again and saw that she was pale and had a layer of dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she did not sleep well. She was a little worried, "It has been fine for so many years, why is it happening again now? Should I look for another…"
"No, don't worry, it's nothing." Bai Suye gently interrupted the old lady, "It's just a minor cold, I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
Last night, she really didn't sleep well. She was tortured by the night owl and felt pain all over her body. That kind of pain was the pain of skin and flesh being torn apart, the pain of heart and lung being torn apart.
When he had sex with her last night, he was terribly rough and merciless. Although she had seen a doctor and taken some medicine today, she still felt pain down there and had a torn wound.
30 days…
When she signed it, she felt it was very short. But now, it seems very long...
She didn't want to think about last night's experience anymore. It was scary just thinking about it. She shook her head, holding the child and preparing to go into the hall, while asking, "Is Ye Qing not back yet?"
As soon as these words fell, Aunt Lin's voice came hurriedly, "Madam, Mr. President is back!"
"I'm back, so why are you so excited?"
"It's not just the President, he brought a lady with him! It's said that..." Aunt Lin glanced at the child, then lowered her voice and whispered in the old lady's ear, "It's Miss Xia!"
"What?" The old lady thought she had misheard. She glanced at Aunt Lin and asked, "Who did you just say?"
Aunt Lin repeated again, "Young Master's mother. Xia Xingchen, Miss Xia."
The old lady's face fell, and she muttered in dissatisfaction: "Stinky boy, I think he deliberately didn't let me enjoy this meal properly!"
The phone call from the Lan family today had already upset her, and now she was even more furious! Bringing the person back directly, wasn't that a declaration of war
"What's the matter?" the old man turned around and asked them.
The old lady said angrily: "You will know what's going on when you go in. Aunt Lin, go and ask the kitchen to serve dinner later. Su Su, take my precious grandson upstairs to play."
After the old lady made the arrangements, Bai Suye carried Xia Dabai up the stairs from the other side. She was not in a very good mood today and didn't care what was going on.
The old lady stood up straight, touched her graying hair, coughed pretentiously, and asked, "Grandpa, look, can I scare anyone like this?"
Showing power is very important. She must suppress Xia Xingchen in the first place, so that she can retreat. Otherwise, she will never be able to control her in the future!
Mr. Bai glanced at his wife and said, "You're just trying to scare me. Stop wasting time and go out and take a look!"
… … … …
Bai Yeqing sat upright on the sofa, and Xia Xingchen sat next to her. The servant brought hot tea over, and Xia Xingchen held it in her hands to warm her palms.
I didn't look around, but I didn't see the owner of the house come out for a long time, so I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
But she saw Xia Dabai's homework book on the coffee table, and the sofa opposite was full of models that he had disassembled, as well as many new toys and snacks bought for the children. Knowing that the old man and the old lady doted on the children, the tension in her heart eased a little. She put down the teacup, stood up, and naturally put the scattered model parts into a small box one by one. There were many scattered on the carpet, so she bent down and picked them up carefully.
When the old man and old lady came in from the backyard, they saw the woman half leaning over, carefully packing things. Her black hair was scattered, covering half of her face. She occasionally raised her hand to hook the scattered hair behind her ear, and the snow-white skin on her ear could be seen.
The half of her face that was revealed had a gentle expression.
She packed her things skillfully, neither hurriedly nor slowly, and in an orderly manner. Judging from her gestures, it was hard to connect her with the "Madam Xia" I met last time.
The old lady's original arrogance suddenly subsided a lot. She looked at Aunt Lin and it was obvious that Aunt Lin also felt the same way.
Over there, the old man looked as serious as ever, he came in with only a cane and glared at his son.
Bai Yeqing's eyes were also on Xia Xingchen at this moment, with a layer of tenderness in his eyes that he didn't even notice. But as soon as the old man and the old lady came in, especially when the old man's eyes, as sharp as a knife, were cast at him, he noticed it.
"Dad, Mom." She put down her crossed legs, slowly stood up and greeted them.
When Xia Xingchen heard the voice, his heart skipped a beat. He stopped packing his things and quickly stood up.
"Old sir, old madam." He bowed his head and greeted them politely without being servile or arrogant.
The old man just glared at Xia Xingchen, then turned around and left without saying anything. Xia Xingchen lowered her eyes slightly. Although she didn't see his expression, she knew that he left because he didn't like her. She was mentally prepared, so she didn't feel very disappointed.
Instead, the old lady glanced at Xia Xingchen, then walked closer and took another look. Xia Xingchen knew that she was looking at her, and felt somewhat uncomfortable. She drooped her eyelids slightly and did not dare to look up to meet the old lady's gaze.
Bai Yeqing embraced the old lady, "Mom, this is Xingchen. He is the hero who gave birth to your precious grandson."
With the other hand, he held Xia Xingchen's hand without any hesitation.
After all, the old lady was his elder, so he didn't care about her, but she didn't dare to act rashly in front of the old lady. She struggled, but Bai Yeqing held her hand tightly, and stroked the back of her hand with his thumb as if to comfort her. "You haven't seen her, so I brought her back for you to take a closer look."
Xia Xingchen stared at him quietly.
The old lady had no time to pay attention to their little actions. She stared at Xia Xingchen with her eyes wide open for a long time and said, "Lift your face up so I can take a closer look!"
Xia Xingchen didn't know what was going on, but the old lady's tone sounded a little strange, so he became suspicious and looked up in confusion.
