The two of them looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment.
then…
"why you?"
"Why you?"
Two people said it almost in unison.
On the side, Bai Yeqing and Aunt Lin were both confused. Bai Yeqing asked Xia Xingchen, "Have you seen it?"
Didn’t the old lady say it herself? Hasn’t she seen her
Xia Xingchen's mind was a little confused at the moment. She never thought that the old lady she met in the hospital last time would be Bai Yeqing's mother. Moreover, what did the old lady say to her at that time? She said that Li Lingyi's daughter was talking about marriage with her son, and that her son was bewitched by Xia Xingkong...
At that time, the old lady also asked her a lot about Xia Xingkong!
Xia Xingchen now put the previous scenes together and thought about them again, and remembered what the old lady said later about having seen her mother, and he seemed to have a vague idea in his mind.
Could it be... that she mistook Li Lingyi for her mother
"What is going on?" The old lady was also confused. She was as shocked as Xia Xingchen.
"Madam, what's wrong?" Aunt Lin asked.
The old lady sat down on the sofa, but her eyes were still fixed on Xia Xingchen. She asked Aunt Lin, "She was the one who made trouble outside our house last time, right?"
The last time, Aunt Lin looked at Xia Xingchen twice through the surveillance camera.
The vision was not very good at night, so she stared at Xia Xingchen again and again, pondered for a long time, and then nodded, "Yes, it is this lady."
Xia Xingchen still felt embarrassed when she mentioned this matter. She subconsciously glanced at Bai Yeqing, as if asking for help, but also as if she was embarrassed.
Bai Yeqing gave her a soothing look and pulled her to sit on the sofa opposite the old lady.
The old lady was also thinking about something. After a while, she asked Xia Xingchen again, "Last time, in Beisiyuan Hospital, was it your mother in the ward?"
"Yeah." Xia Xingchen replied to the old lady, "She is not in good health. She just had a heart surgery that day and is staying in the hospital."
The old lady frowned. If that's the case, then... I recognized the wrong person? But didn't that woman clearly say it was Mrs. Xia last time? Even Xia Xingchen herself said that she was indeed the mayor's wife.
"Are you really the mother of my precious grandson?" The old lady looked at her suspiciously, then glared at her son, "Aren't you two a team up to scare me, an old lady?"
Xia Xingchen was embarrassed.
Bai Yeqing leaned back on the sofa with his slender body, "Why don't you let Dabai come and recognize your biological mother?"
The old lady naturally felt that her assumption was a bit outrageous.
"So, the Madam Xia I met last time is not your mother?"
Xia Xingchen now understood that the 'Mrs. Xia' mentioned by the old lady must be Li Lingyi, so he answered truthfully: "That was the wife my father married later."
The old lady understood and said "tsk", without any intention of avoiding suspicion, "Your father's taste is really bad. How can you live in peace with a woman who makes so much noise like that?"
"..." Xia Xingchen didn't know how to respond. Subconsciously, she looked at Bai Yeqing. He leaned over slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Don't take it to heart. The old lady has always been a person who speaks out whatever she wants."
She nodded slightly. People who speak their mind are easier to get along with. Besides, what the old lady said was not wrong—wasn’t my father planning to divorce right now
At first, because of the conversation on the phone before, Xia Xingchen had the impression that the old lady was the kind of wealthy old lady played on TV, mean and unreasonable. But now that he knew she was the one he had met in the hospital last time, he felt much closer to her.
In fact, the same is true for old ladies.
After knowing that she and Li Ling were no longer related, the hostility towards her naturally dissipated by a large margin. After a while, he finally realized something and slapped his forehead, "That's not right! Since you are not her biological daughter, then the 10 million last time..."
"What ten million?" Xia Xingchen was confused.
Bai Yeqing continued, "So I said, you were defrauded. It's not a small amount."
Xia Xingchen looked at the old lady, then at Bai Yeqing, "What's going on? Is it related to Li Lingyi?"
Bai Yeqing just opened his mouth to explain the whole story. But the old lady felt ashamed and glared at her son, "Don't say it! This Li Lingyi, I think she is really out of control! She even dared to cheat me of my money! This time she has run into trouble!"
The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She stood up and said angrily, "I have to call the police now and arrest them right now!"
… … …
The old lady said that wind is rain. After a while, she left the customer aside and went to make a phone call.
Xia Xingchen watched the old lady leave, then looked at Bai Yeqing inquiringly. Bai Yeqing leaned lazily on the sofa, pinched her hand and played with it, and said briefly: "Your stepmother is very courageous. She cheated my mother out of 10 million."
Xia Xingchen stared in disbelief. Bai Yeqing told her the whole story, and she found what Li Lingyi did even more unbelievable.
How dare she pretend to be her mother and ask the old lady for 10 million! Fortunately, this matter has been clarified. If it hadn't been clarified...
No wonder the old lady was so rude earlier. Now that I think about it, it makes sense.
"Given my mother's temper, she will definitely not let her off. She will inevitably spend a few years in prison."
If Li Lingyi really went to jail, Xia Xingchen would not sympathize with her at all. She should learn a lesson from what she had done over the years.
Xia Xingchen remembered something, took out a card from her bag, and handed it to Bai Yeqing. Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"Ten million."
"Where did you come from?"
"Li Lingyi gave it to me some time ago, saying that she was paying me back for giving birth to Dabai. At that time, I didn't ask her where she got the 10 million. Now I think that she must have cheated the old lady out of it."
Bai Yeqing snorted, "She has a very good plan."
"Xiaobai, Dabao!" At this moment, Xia Dabai's voice came from upstairs. He jumped downstairs, and Bai Suye followed behind him, "Dabai, be careful! Slow down!"
Xia Dabai ran over and threw himself on the legs of the two adults. Bai Yeqing picked up Xia Dabai and Xia Xingchen also stood up and greeted, "Sister Su Ye."
"Ye Qing didn't tell me you were coming today." Bai Suye was also surprised to see her. But, seeing her here was a good thing.
“In fact, I didn’t know until I got to the door.”
Bai Suye looked at the family of three and couldn't help but be moved.
"There's no movement from the Song family now, and my uncle will be out soon - when do you plan to settle your matter?" Bai Suye's gaze wandered over the two of them, finally falling on Bai Yeqing.
