The car quickly drove out of the airport. After driving a long distance, Sheng Yeting looked ahead and said calmly: "Don't let go yet."
Only then did Xia Xingcheng feel like she had come to her senses. She immediately let go of the other person's hand and fiddled with the hair beside her ear with some embarrassment: "Thank you just now."
Xiaobao sitting next to him was so happy that he also shouted: "Thank you, Dad!"
"Don't yell." Xia Xingcheng immediately reached out to cover the child's mouth, put his index finger on his lips to silence him and said, "Don't yell daddy."
"Why?" Xiaobao blinked and looked at her with some confusion, "It was clearly dad who helped us just now, so we were not bullied by those bad people..."
Xia Xingcheng was stunned by what he said. She didn't know why Xiaobao regarded this man as his father, and she didn't know how to explain Sheng Yeting's behavior.
She coughed slightly, glanced at him apologetically, lowered her head and whispered to Xiaobao: "This uncle is not your father. He just watched us being bullied by bad people, so he was kind-hearted." Coming forward helped us.”
She stretched out her hand and tapped the child's nose gently and said with a smile: "So you can't yell anymore, do you understand?"
Sheng Yeting stared out the window with a cold expression, not knowing what he was thinking about. It wasn't until he heard Xia Xingcheng's words that he snorted and said in a cold voice: "I do it for the sake of the child." I just took action, so please don’t regard my kindness as charity and think that I can provide it for free anytime and anywhere.”
He turned his head and looked her up and down, then folded his arms and turned to look forward: "Not to mention taking the blame for a woman like you who lives an unruly life."
Obviously, Sheng Yeting heard what Xu Hao had just called Xiaobao a bastard.
These words touched Xia Xingcheng's pain point, and her face immediately turned cold. She was originally grateful for the man's rescue just now, but now it seems that there is no difference between him and Xu Hao and Xia Xingyan. They both regard her as dust and look down upon her.
"parking."
She didn't want to say anything more and signaled the driver to stop the car with an expressionless face.
Sheng Yeting stared at her with a puzzled look on her face. After the car stopped, she reached out and dragged Xiaobao out of the car and left: "What are you doing?"
Xia Xingcheng took off her suitcase, reached into her bag, took out her wallet, took out a hundred yuan, and threw it on the car seat: "Thank you for your kindness just now. This is the taxi fare. We will meet again in the future." We won’t meet again.”
After saying this, she got down and took Xiaobao to pull up the suitcase. She turned around and strode to the edge of the platform, preparing to stop the train again without giving the other party any time to react.
Sheng Yeting looked at the hundred-dollar note that was thrown on the car seat, his eyes narrowed with a dangerous meaning. When had he ever been treated so simply by a woman
Not to mention slandering one's face, there has never been a situation where one's attitude was even a little bit negligent.
He gritted his teeth, reached out and threw the banknote out of the window, and then raised his hand to signal the driver in front of him: "Drive."
…
After Xia Xingcheng got off Sheng Yeting's car, she didn't go home directly. Instead, she took a taxi to her grandmother's house.
A few years later, grandma's yard is still the same as in the old memory, but grandma has become much older.
She walked forward quickly and hugged the old man. Suddenly, she was touched and felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes became moist: "Grandma, I miss you so much..."
"Xingcheng, my good granddaughter..." The old lady patted her back gently, smiling softly and calmly, "I don't know how much hardship I have suffered outside."
She was naturally overjoyed to see her precious granddaughter, not to mention the cute little baby, who loved her so much that she wanted to hold her in her heart.
The old lady has experienced so many things, so she naturally knows what to ask and what not to ask. Since her granddaughter seemed unwilling to take the initiative to bring it up, she did not ask the child any more about the reason.
Xia Xingcheng rested one night at her grandmother's house and took Xiaobao out for a walk early the next morning.
She thought about the places she had been to when she was a child, and she couldn't help but feel excited and a little happy. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she reached the gate of the community, she bumped into Xu Hao and Xia Xingyan who came to see her.
She immediately put away the smile on her face and stared at the two people in front of her with cold eyes: "I feel that I have nothing to say anymore, and please don't disturb my life anymore."
Coming here was not Xia Xingyan's original intention. She was deeply disgusted that Xia Xingcheng had not had time to hide from him, so there was no reason to rush here to scold him.
"Do you think I want to come?" She folded her arms and pouted, "It's dad who wants to see you and wants you to go home."
When she heard what that person meant, Xia Xingcheng suddenly fell silent. In fact, she no longer wanted to have any contact with that family at all, but she had not yet clearly defined the relationship between them, and she still needed to talk to them face to face. The other party made it clear.
She stood there quietly for a long time, and then led Xiaobao directly into the other party's car.
Along the way, everyone was keeping their own thoughts, and no one said a word.
The car quickly arrived at the villa area. Looking through the car window, the scenery in the yard was not much different from when he left.
It's just that time has changed, things have changed, and she can no longer face this family with the same calm mood as before.
"You're back."
As soon as she walked into the house with her little baby, her stepmother Song Qiong rushed to greet her, asking for help: "Have you had a hard journey along the way? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hungry? Auntie will prepare it for you." Got something to eat.”
Xia Xingcheng looked at her coy face and felt extremely disgusted. She had clearly ignored her for five years and had not cared about her own life and death. Why was she acting like a mother now
"I know you don't like me." She looked over with an ungrateful look, "There's no need to bother pretending like this."
"Why are you talking to your mother!"
Xia's father's sullen voice soon sounded in the living room. He stood up and walked out in two steps. Looking at the child in Xia Xingcheng's hand, his brows suddenly knitted together: "I'm sending you abroad to let you go." You should go and reflect on yourself, you are so good! You actually brought me a bastard back!"
He was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and his trembling fingers pointed at Xiaobao hiding behind her: "I tell you, I will never admit that he is a bloodline of our Xia family!"
