As Chai Huirui ran outside, he called his grandfather.
As for making things difficult for Lin Xiawan, that was long forgotten by him.
[He's not that stupid.]
Lin Tingyue turned around and found Lin Xiawan and Ying An staring at her. She touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No," Lin Xiawan, stepping forward and taking Lin Tingyue's hand. "I just wanted to ask if you'd like to have some more cake?"
[That's for sure--]
Lin Tingyue nodded emphatically. "Yes."
After walking a few steps forward with Lin Xiawan, Lin Tingyue seemed to suddenly remember something. She stopped, turned around, and said, " Mr. Ying, why don't you come along too?"
[He probably doesn't need to manage his physique lately, right?]
Ying An lowered his head, and the first thing that came to mind wasn't his eight-pack abs, but rather the part that Lin Tingyue couldn't forget...
Ying An's ears turned red, and he said, "Okay, Miss Tingyue."
Lin Tingyue smiled.
After returning home, Bai Yaxin asked Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan what impressed them the most.
Lin Xiawan: "Four loves?"
Lin Tingyue: "A small cake?"
Bai Yaxin: "..."
What kind of nonsense is this?
This led Bai Yaxin to reply haphazardly, "What you learn is yours to keep."
Lin Tingyue and Lin Xiawan exchanged a glance. Although neither of them understood what their mother was talking about, they still nodded obediently.
After Lin Tingyue went upstairs, Lin Xiawan looked at Bai Yaxin Bai Yaxin smiled gently and asked, " Xiawan, is there something you want to tell your mother?"
Bai Yaxin truly embodies everything Lin Xiawan imagined her mother to be: gentle, attentive to her words, and always standing by her side.
When she was treated that way by her adoptive parents, Lin Xiawan survived entirely on these imaginings.
Lin Xiawan took Bai Yaxin's hand, and Bai Yaxin. She sat down on the sofa with Lin Xiawan, Lin Xiawan said, "Actually, I think if Tingyue is really going to date, she should have more options."
Um?
How did this escalate to talking about Tingyue's love life?
Bai Yaxin thought about it carefully, and then said thoughtfully, "Having more options is definitely a good thing..."
Lin Xiawan suddenly stood up, her gaze firm, and said, "Mom, I understand."
Bai Yaxin: "?"
What did Xiawan know?
afternoon.
When Mama Zhang heard the second young lady praise the cakes at the banquet, she baked some cakes herself to have for afternoon tea that day.
As the mother and her two daughters were leisurely enjoying their meal, as if they were having a small tea party at home, Bai Yaxin's phone rang.
Bai Yaxin put down her cup, and as she listened, her brows furrowed. "That serious?"
"I understand, I'll go right away."
After Bai Yaxin hung up the phone, Lin Tingyue asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Your cousin called me and said your cousin's wife was in the hospital."
Lin Xiawan asked, "Did you eat something bad, or what?"
Bai Yaxin stood up and said, "I don't know, I have to go and take a look."
[Sigh, my aunt got sick from eating something bad; it's entirely her own fault.]
Bai Yaxin paused. Right, how could she forget Lin Tingyue? Bai Yaxin tentatively asked, " Tingyue, do you know what happened to your aunt?"
Lin Tingyue shook her head. "Mom, I don't know."
My aunt believed in a folk remedy that claimed this medicine could help her conceive a son, so she secretly added it to her daughter-in-law's vitamins. Unfortunately, her daughter-in-law discovered this and then added the medicine back to my aunt's calcium supplements. And now, look what happened!
Bai Yaxin was truly exasperated. "I told her long ago that children and grandchildren have their own destinies, but she insisted on having these crooked thoughts!"
Lin Tingyue tilted her head, puzzled, and asked, "Wrong thoughts?"
Could it be that Mom already knows?
Bai Yaxin: "!"
Experience told her that it was best not to let Lin Tingyue know that they could hear her thoughts.
Bai Yaxin said, "I was just guessing. Your aunt is stubborn... I think your uncle probably helped her a lot. No, I still have to go."
When Bai Yaxin the hospital, Hao Xiu had already come out of the emergency room.
Bai Yaxin asked her cousin Feng De, "How are you? Is everything alright?"
"It's nothing serious, but I Yaxin. I said no, but Hao Xiu insisted on calling you..."
"Alright, you're Hao Xiu's husband. You should be taking care of your wife, not shifting the blame here."
Bai Yaxin was always capable, and she also married the best. Feng De said awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I understand."
Hao Xiu had regained consciousness by this time. Her face was pale, and she grasped Bai Yaxin's hand, saying, " Yaxin, this is truly an undeserved disaster."
Bai Yaxin thought of Lin Tingyue's thoughts and said, "Not necessarily."
Hao Xiu: "Huh?"
Bai Yaxin asked again, "Where is your daughter-in-law?"
"She was so worried about Hao Xiu that she fainted. Sijie is guarding her at the door." It was Feng De who spoke.
Bai Yaxin advised, "These things can't be forced. Don't listen to those folk remedies; they'll only harm yourself and others."
" Yaxin, what's wrong with you...?"
Hao Xiu struggled to her feet, but Bai Yaxin helped her lie down again. They quickly arrived at the ward, where Feng De and the caregiver transferred Hao Xiu from the trolley to the bed. Bai Yaxin tucked her in.
She said, " Hao Xiu, I bought you some nutritional supplements. Take good care of yourself, and I'll come see you again later."
"Good."
Just as Bai Yaxin reached the door of the ward, she heard a roar from another direction, accompanied by questions about who the child was.
Bai Yaxin murmured, "Strange, why does this voice sound so familiar?"
They walked towards the direction of the sound.
As she got closer, Bai Yaxin discovered that it was actually Feng Sijie and his wife Jiang Cui.
Jiang Cui said, "Of course it's yours. Hasn't your mother always wanted a grandson?"
Feng Sijie was so angry that the veins on her neck bulged. "Bullshit! I had a tubal ligation months ago, and the baby in your belly is only two months old. How could it be mine?"
Bai Yaxin's brow twitched upon hearing this. Why would Feng Sijie suddenly get a vasectomy? Had he discussed it with his mother?
Jiang Cui was also furious, " Feng Sijie, are you sick? Why did you have to get a tubal ligation? Even if you wanted to get it done, why didn't you tell your mother first? Do you know what your mother feeds me?"
"I know, I know. My mom is like this today because of you. Jiang Cui, how could you be so heartless? That's my mom!"
"Oh, oh, oh," Jiang Cui said, arms crossed, "Now I know it's your mother. Before, I thought she was some old lady I picked up somewhere, shamelessly insisting on staying at the home of complete strangers."
[My God, how can someone be so good at cursing?]
Bai Yaxin turned around and, sure enough, saw Lin Tingyue, who was supposed to be waiting for her in the car, get in.
Feng Sijie retorted matter-of-factly, "What's wrong with you serving my mother after you married into our family?"
[Then why are you doing this? Are you dead? Why would you need to marry a wife just to take care of your mother?]
[This is unheard of! The son is dead, and the mother was adopted.]
Bai Yaxin put her arm around Lin Tingyue's shoulder. Her seemingly obedient daughter is actually quite fierce in private. She's so cute!
"Why should I serve you? Get out of here, and your whole family can get out too."
"Stop right there!" Feng Sijie grabbed Jiang Cui's hand. "You have to tell me clearly today, whose child is it? I can accept being cuckolded, but I need to know who made me do it!"
[It's quite touching, but actually, he got his vasectomy because he didn't like wearing a condom... so he just had it done for convenience.]
[Scumbags are still good at making excuses, huh? They'll do anything to fool around.]
ha?
Jiang Cui Cuizhen laughed in anger. She turned around and said, "I shouldn't have left like this."
Feng Sijie frowned and said, " Jiang Cui, what do you mean?"
Jiang Cui gritted her teeth and said, "You mean I'll hit you?"
The nurse exclaimed in a panic, "Gentlemen, please don't fight in the hospital!"
By the time the security guards separated the two, Feng Sijie's face had been scratched beyond recognition by Jiang Cui.
When Bai Yaxin and Lin Tingyue downstairs, they could still hear Feng Sijie and Jiang Cui cursing at each other.
Bai Yaxin briefly told her mother, Feng Chao, about the matter. The old lady was silent for a long time before finally saying, "Let them be."
[Wow, Grandma's pretty trendy.]
Bai Yaxin smiled, Feng Chao added, "Just bring your precious granddaughter and grandson back so I can see them sometime."
"I know, I know, all you ever think about is your granddaughter and grandson."
I'm still worried about my daughter; I don't know if she'll be willing to come back.
"Alright, Mom, you're not getting any younger, stop with the sweet talk. Be careful you don't get cavities."
Since Feng Chao had said so, Bai Yaxin and Lin Rusong took the children home this weekend.
Feng Chao lost her husband years ago and raised one daughter and three sons on her own. Now nearly eighty years old, she is still in good spirits.
The old lady had tidied herself up neatly. Bai Yaxin in front of Feng Chao, she saw that her most useless second brother had also returned.
Bai Yaxin's smile faded slightly. "Why did you come back at a time like this, when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?"
Bai Weiye said, "Little sister, I know you don't like me, but as your older brother, knowing you're coming back today, I came here specifically to remind you not to be fooled by others."
[Uncle, you should worry about yourself first. Your friend told you about making a fortune, but actually he's a gigolo...]
