The old man paused and said, "Besides, if you really want to talk about it, don't they have any real blood relationship?"
"Now you know that they are not related by blood! Then tell me, is it too inhumane for us to stop them like this?"
The old man simply sat up, "Inhumane? What do you mean by inhumane! How are they together? Tell me, when the media questions you, will you explain to them that they are not related by blood? Then the media will say, no blood relationship, he has called her uncle for more than 20 years, so no matter what, he is still his uncle in name, Xingchen is his cousin in name, this is incest in name. Tell me, how do you explain this? It's like someone is holding your pigtail in their hands, and you will be poked in the back all the time in the future! Poking in the back is a small matter, but this will be the best weapon to attack Ye Qing and our Bai family in the future! He is confused by the spell, but I am not!"
The old lady sighed after hearing this.
"In this case, I really don't know what to do. Ye Qing is a child with the same temper as you. When he gets stubborn, none of us can do anything to him. Besides... my precious grandson..."
That precious grandson was the old lady's weak spot. When she mentioned him, she felt very uncomfortable. "It would be a shame if this child became estranged from us because of our act of breaking up a couple."
The old man was also very upset, and when he heard about his grandson's matter, he became even more upset. He pulled the quilt and said, "Okay, it's already late, let's not talk about this. Anyway, we can't let them get married now!"
This was the old man's final ultimatum, and the old lady didn't dare to say anything more.
… … … … … …
The next day.
Bai Yeqing had already gotten up and was brushing his teeth in the bathroom wearing a white bathrobe.
Xia Dabai, also wearing a small children's bathrobe, followed him around. When he brushed his teeth, he fiddled with the toothbrush in his mouth. When he shaved, Xia Dabai rubbed his chin with his hands, doing it in a very professional manner.
Xia Xingchen stood lazily by the bathroom door, watching this scene and couldn't help laughing.
When Bai Yeqing put down the razor, Xia Dabai tiptoed and reached out to take it to play with it.
"Put it down!" Xia Xingchen suddenly became alert, rushed in and grabbed his little hand. "This kind of thing is very dangerous, you can't play with it."
Without waiting for Xia Dabai to let go, Bai Yeqing had already taken out the razor and threw it into the corner where he couldn't reach.
Xia Dabai raised his little head and looked at this and that. He hugged his two little arms unhappily and groaned, "I told you that marriage is not good! Now you two are teaming up to bully me. Dabao, you have been assimilated by Xiaobai!"
After he finished his accusation, he walked out unwillingly, dragging his slippers and pouting.
Xia Xingchen shook his head helplessly.
Bai Yeqing looks as cool as ever.
"Are you hungry?" He held her hand, held her in his arms, and asked.
"It's okay. Don't get so close to me. You both have finished brushing your teeth, but I haven't." She dodged him and took the toothbrush to squeeze the toothpaste.
Thinking of something, she glanced at him sideways, "We can't hide here forever, right?"
Bai Yeqing looked at her steadily, his eyes deepening. "Do you want to go and have a good talk with my uncle?"
Talking is always necessary.
She couldn't really be a coward for the rest of her life. Some relationships still needed to be sorted out.
"I'm not mentally prepared yet. If we really want to talk, let's wait..."
"Then let's disappear for a few days and let the elders calm down. You don't have to go to work for the time being. I'll have someone arrange something for you."
Xia Xingchen really didn't want to go out and face those elders now. Her mind was in a mess, and for the time being, she just wanted to stay with him quietly for two days. The storm outside would be temporarily relieved.
… … … … …
Leng Fei came over when a family of two adults and one child was having breakfast in the restaurant.
"Ms. Xia, your cell phone and your bag." Leng Fei handed the things he brought out from the old house to Xia Xingchen.
"Thank you." She took the item. The phone was completely out of battery, so she took out the charger and plugged it in to charge.
Bai Yeqing ate his meal elegantly and asked, "What's the situation at the old house now?"
He was now calm and composed, and did not have much emotion when he asked this question. He had not explained the truth to Xingchen before, and the reason he felt uneasy in his heart was because he was worried about her attitude. He was afraid that she would not be able to withstand such a test.
However, I didn't expect that she was more determined and brave than I thought.
So, right now, he has nothing to worry about.
"The old man was still as angry as ever. He asked me several times about your whereabouts."
"Is someone following us?" His peaceful days would only last for two days, and he didn't want them to disturb him again.
"The old man did send someone to follow him out, but they were thrown away by our people."
Bai Yeqing nodded.
Leng Fei continued: "It's just that the old lady is sad. She said..."
"say what?"
Leng Fei's eyes wandered from the two adults to Xia Dabai who was eating with gusto. He was frightened yesterday, but now that he had his father and mother with him, he was not sad at all. He didn't care whether the marriage was successful or not, he only cared whether he had a father and a mother.
Leng Fei said, "The old lady said that you two can disappear, but you can't take the young master with you. She said... let me send the young master back to live for a while."
Bai Yeqing knew that the old lady was worried about her grandson, so he looked at her son and asked, "Do you want to go?"
Xia Dabai pouted, not saying he wanted to or didn't want to. He knew his grandparents loved him. But he also knew that his grandparents wouldn't allow his parents to be together.
He was also very conflicted, not knowing whether he should be angry with his grandparents when he saw them again.
Bai Yeqing did not continue to ask, but just said: "Go and tell the old lady that her precious grandson is very sad now and doesn't want to see anyone."
Leng Fei nodded and went to report.
… … … …
On the other side, Aunt Lin answered the phone. When she heard that it was Leng Fei calling, the originally listless old lady suddenly became energetic.
I quickly got up and answered the phone.
"Have you talked to them? Can they take my grandson over?" the old lady asked several times in succession.
Then, when Leng Fei said that, the old lady's face changed.
Heartbroken, he kept asking, "Is he still sad? When you went there, was Dabai still crying?"
Leng Fei thought, why is he still crying? The young master seemed quite happy and at ease. He was eating his meal with relish.
