Xia Xingcheng didn't hear Xiaobao calling someone else's father, but directly held Xiaobao in her arms and looked at Xiaobao's body worriedly.
"Xiaobao, how are you these days? Are you injured?"
Xiaobao shook his head, "Xiaobao is not injured. Grandma has been very kind to me in the past two days. Mommy, don't worry."
After making sure that Xiaobao was not injured, Xia Xingcheng felt relieved when she realized that something seemed wrong.
"grandmother?"
Xia Xingcheng was confused, and then saw a lady in a cheongsam in the pavilion, sipping tea and looking at the two of them.
The lady's features looked a bit like Sheng Yeting's, so she was probably Sheng Yeting's mother.
Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. Why did Xiaobao come to his home these days
Although he was confused, he couldn't use the etiquette. Xia Xingcheng immediately picked up Xiaobao in his arms and walked to the noble lady.
"You are Mr. Sheng's mother, right? Xiaobao has been busy with you these days."
Sheng's mother looked at Xia Xingcheng, her expression became gentler, she nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaobao looks cute to me, he's fine."
Xia Xingcheng smiled gratefully upon hearing this, "Thank you for taking care of Xiaobao these days."
Sheng's mother nodded without comment. She just felt that the woman in front of her was gentle and generous, and she had the temperament of a lady. No wonder she could hand over such a well-behaved child like Xiaobao. Her expression softened a little and she said, "It's okay, I like Xiaobao very much." Yes, I also heard something about you, just come back."
Xia Xingcheng knew that it was useless to talk too much about gratitude, and the Sheng family did not need Xia Xingcheng's meager gratitude. After thanking him again, Xia Xingcheng took Xiaobao and decided to say goodbye to them.
"Mrs. Sheng, thank you for taking care of Xiaobao these days. I plan to go back with Xiaobao in my arms."
Xiaobao blinked and looked at mommy and grandma. For some reason, he suddenly felt something different in his heart, but he didn't say anything obediently.
Qin Pei looked at Xiaobao and suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave, so he asked tentatively: "Are you in such a hurry to leave? Then will you have a place to stay after you go out?"
She is the wife of a wealthy family, she sees everything, and she certainly knows a thing or two about Xia Xingcheng's experiences.
Xia Xingcheng nodded and said with some melancholy: "I originally had some things to deal with when I came back this time. Now that Xiaobao has been found, I plan to go back to England tomorrow." After saying that, she looked at the sky in the distance and suddenly felt a little confused. Lost in thought, he murmured, "Here, I will never come back again."
After Xia Xingcheng said this, Sheng Yeting felt clearly in a trance for some reason.
His eyes swept over Xia Xingcheng's beautiful face with a secretive look. He had never experienced such an experience before when the mother and son broke in and disrupted his life, and then suddenly pulled away.
Even Sheng's mother glanced at Xiaobao melancholy for a moment, and finally looked at Sheng Yeting with complaints in her eyes.
If her son could get married earlier, I'm afraid her grandson would be as old as this. As for her, she would feel sad here!
After getting along with each other for the past two days, she already liked the little guy's cuteness, but after all, this was not her grandson, and Qin Pei could only sigh helplessly.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to the little guy, Xiaobao suddenly hugged Xia Xingcheng's leg and asked coquettishly: "Mommy, why are you going to England? Shouldn't Mommy be with daddy? Why are we separated? Xiaobao, don’t be separated from your father.”
As Xiaobao said this, he grabbed Sheng Yeting's legs and looked very pitiful.
Seeing Xiaobao like this, Xia Xingcheng smiled awkwardly and quickly pulled Xiaobao away from Sheng Yeting.
"Xiaobao, listen to mommy, this is not daddy. You are not allowed to scream randomly anymore, do you understand?"
Xiaobao refused, almost crying with grievance: "This is obviously dad, why doesn't mommy recognize him?"
Seeing him like that, Xia Xingcheng felt a little sour in her heart, so she could only coax her patiently: "Xiaobao, be obedient and be good, otherwise Mommy will be angry."
Xiaobao sighed helplessly, feeling rather old-fashioned and had no choice but to return to Xia Xingcheng's side aggrievedly.
Seeing such a scene, Qin Pei's heart almost broke, especially Xiaobao's aggrieved and crying expression, which was exactly the same as Sheng Yeting's when he was a child.
This made Qin Pei's heart even more complicated. However, he was not his grandson after all, so he did not continue to persuade Xia Xingcheng and others to leave.
Sheng Yeting, on the other hand, never looked at Xia Xingcheng and Xiaobao again, with unclear expressions in his eyes.
He couldn't tell what it was like, but in the end he felt that the trouble was finally behind him.
Xia Xingcheng did not stay much after leaving Sheng Yeting's home, but took Xiaobao directly to her grandmother's house in the old city.
There are no longer any people or things in this city that she misses. The only thing she cares about is her grandmother, who is getting older.
It was almost evening when we arrived at grandma's house. When the old man saw Xiaobao, he was not as surprised as others, but held Xiaobao in his arms very fondly.
He never mentioned where Xiaobao came from.
Although Xiaobao has never met this grandmother, their blood relationship quickly made the two of them close, and the old man rarely had a smile on his face.
Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but feel sad when she saw such a scene. In order to restrain her, her father even threatened her grandmother's life.
She returned home this time not only because of Xu Hao, but also because she wanted to take her grandma away.
She is now able to support herself and her baby in the UK, but she is worried about leaving her grandmother in China.
While eating, Xia Xingcheng finally said after careful consideration: "Grandma, I want to bring you to England when I come back this time, and I can also take care of you."
"No need, I'm used to it here. My wife can't adapt to life abroad."
Xia Xingcheng didn't expect her grandma to refuse, and was about to continue to comfort her, but her grandma continued: "I plan to return to the countryside in a few days. There are relatives there who can take care of each other. I am old and can't afford to bother. I just want to Fallen leaves return to their roots.”
Xia Xingcheng sighed, her throat felt very uncomfortable as if it was being restrained by a pair of big hands, and those comforting words were never uttered again.
She knew her grandmother's temper, and knew that no matter how much she tried to comfort her, it would be useless, but she couldn't help but feel guilty, and her voice was almost choked when she spoke the words.
"But grandma, I really don't trust you."
Grandma's wrinkled face smiled stretched out, and she shook her head and said, "Xingcheng, compared to your happiness, this is nothing. You still have a long life, so you must live it well, you know?"
After saying that, grandma seemed to suddenly recall some memories and said with some melancholy: "Your mother has been ruined her whole life. You can't be ruined by your father anymore, you know."
