The last time Yu Xiaoliang saw his daughter was when she was seeing her off at Baiyun Airport.
Later, under the condemnation of his conscience, Lao Yu took all the alimony he should have paid over the years.
Yu Xian didn't want it when he came back, but Grandma Yu accepted it.
Grandma's meaning is very simple. She cannot let this money be used back to support that bitch Tang Xiangyue and her daughter.
However, during this period, the father and daughter never saw each other again, and Yu Xian didn't know why he came here today.
It's just that grandma didn't look happy, she had obviously just scolded someone.
"Sister Xian is back."
Yu Xiaoliang put on a smile and said hello.
Although he made up for the child support, he still felt guilty in his heart.
Especially when he looked at the frankness between his daughter's eyebrows that was very similar to his late wife's, Lao Yu, who had a weak personality, even dared not look directly at Yu Xian.
"Um."
Yu Xian's attitude was neither cold nor friendly. He responded lightly and sat down next to grandma.
Although grandma is almost 60 years old, she is in great health and has good eyesight.
When setting up the dragon gate formation, no one can even think of cheating.
"This dress..."
Grandma looked at it for a moment through the light, and suddenly asked: "Isn't that what you wore this morning?"
Yu Xian couldn't lie, and she couldn't lie because of her personality. Although she was a little shy inside, she still replied frankly: "These are Chen's clothes."
"What?"
Grandma suddenly widened her eyes.
Even Lao Yu, who looked ashamed and had been looking down at the floor tiles, looked over in surprise.
His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment, and soon understood the reason for the abnormal reaction of grandma and father. Two rosy clouds flew up on his face, and he explained in a serious manner:
"Today we were practicing painting and cleaning in the memorial hall. It rained heavily and we all got wet. Chen Zhu's house is close, so he asked me to go back together and change clothes."
In fact, when talking about this matter now, Sister Cos also thinks it is a bit outrageous, but at the time she only considered it inappropriate not to bring a gift, and did not feel that visiting Chen Zhu's parents was very abrupt.
Maybe it's still related to this step, or maybe he's always been there in the future plans.
"Yeah?"
But grandma and dad didn't seem to believe it. They looked at each other and saw worried looks on each other's faces.
Fortunately, Yu Xian accidentally added: "Chen Zhu's parents are also at home, and aunt asked me to bring this to you."
"Claw thing?"
Grandma took the hardcover gift box from Yu Xian's hand, looked at it twice and said, "It's just a tonic, but..."
Grandma Yu nodded: "At least it can be seen that Chen Zhu's parents are polite and polite people. Chen Zhu probably won't do anything to you."
"It wasn't there!"
Yu Xian knew that grandma had misunderstood, and said angrily: "I will have a meal at their house, and then Chen Zhu and his father will drive me back."
"That's good, that's good..."
Yu Xiaoliang also sighed. Since there is participation and supervision from parents, and I heard that they are civil servant leaders and doctors, they should not let their children run wild.
"What's good!"
The grandma was a little relieved about her granddaughter, but she did not let go of her anger toward her son.
"Mei Xian is meeting her parents now! Do you know?"
Grandma glared and said, "When she and Chen Zhu get married, and the two families meet, do you want to bring that bitch Tang Xiangyue with you?"
Rumor has it that the older generation of Sichuan and Chongqing women are very abusive, and this can be fully demonstrated in Grandma Yu.
"mom."
Yu Xiaoliang didn't dare to talk back loudly when being scolded, so he could only argue in a low voice: "That's why I want Xian Meier to attend Xiao Yezi's tenth birthday this time to try to ease the relationship between the two parties..."
Only then did Yu Xian understand what Lao Yu was doing.
It turned out that Tang Xiangyue's daughter's tenth birthday was coming, and he came over to invite him to attend.
Lao Yu mentioned this matter to himself last time when he was at Baiyun Airport.
Logically speaking, if the relationship between the two parties is better, I should go and participate.
After all, from a legal perspective, they are considered a "family".
However, Tang Xiangyue was the first to treat Yu Xian as an outsider.
In high school, whenever Yu Xiaoliang wanted to give Yu Xian living expenses, she would cry and make a fuss, as if it was her money.
Forget it, the cos sister doesn’t care about money, things, or houses at all.
She is very tough and can stand on her own feet.
But Tang Xiangyue once insulted his deceased mother, which Yu Xian could not tolerate.
So, just like that time at the airport, she said no: "I won't go."
"Did you see that?"
Grandma Yu said happily: "I just said that Xian Mei'er won't go. Her personality is like her mother's and she doesn't tolerate disdain in her eyes!"
When he heard his daughter's rejection, Lao Yu's handsome face, which looked like a Hong Kong and Taiwan actor in the 1980s, wrinkled up.
"I don't want to see you continue to break up like this. After all, there is no essential competition of interests."
Yu Xiaoliang said honestly: "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to bring everyone together and resolve all those misunderstandings and conflicts..."
This is Lao Yu's truth. Ever since Chen Zhu's shocking revelation exposed his cowardice of "cherishing his current life too much to really care about Yu Xian".
After he returned, he reflected for many days. Not only did he secretly withdraw a sum of money from his bankbook, he made up for all Yu Xian's living expenses over the years.
At the same time, we also plan to mediate the issues between both parties.
In this way, not only can he care about Yu Xian openly, but he can also take care of the mother and daughter Tang Xiangyue and Liu Ye.
"No conflict of interests?"
Grandma sneered: "That bitch has always wanted this house, thinks I don't know?"
"impossible!"
At this point, Yu Xiaoliang's attitude is also extremely firm: "The house has been passed on to Xian Meier, and no one can take it away!"
"Besides..."
Yu Xiaoliang rubbed his hands to relieve the anxiety in his heart.
It seems that it is not easy for him to fight his mother face to face.
"That was just a vague idea that Xiangyue had before. She hasn't spoken about it recently, and she is also trying her best to invite Xian Meier to Liu Ye's birthday party."
Yu Xiaoliang speculated: "I guess she has similar thoughts. After all, it's not good for everyone to be frozen like this all the time."
"Stop trying to persuade me! Anyway, I don't agree with Xian Meier to attend the birthday of that bastard who came out of nowhere."
Grandma angrily scolded her: "Yu Xiaoliang, can't you be tougher? What do you want others to say? Xian Mei'er is your biological daughter!"
"Mom, I am just changing my name to take care of Sister Xian in the future..."
Apart from anything else, Lao Yu has a really good temper.
Even though he was scolded like this, he didn't get angry, and still expressed his feelings in an aggrieved and weak manner.
Except for Yu Xian who said a few words when he first entered the door, he never spoke again.
Occasionally, my eyes fell on my father, and I realized that my father, who was omnipotent in my mind when he was a child, had some gray hair quietly creeping up his temples.
My body has become a lot stooped, and the wrinkles on my forehead seem to be deeper.
"After his mother left, he must have been feeling very sad these past few years."
Yu Xian thought to himself, and suddenly his nose felt a little sore.
"I can go..."
Yu Xian's calm voice broke the argument between grandma and father.
"Xianmei'er?"
Grandma was a little confused.
"Xianmei'er!"
Lao Yu is happy.
"I can also reconcile with Tang Xiangyue."
Yu Xian sat on the sofa with his head held high, and said neatly and simply: "But she wants to apologize to me, and she shouldn't speak ill of her mother behind her back!"
"Sister Xian..."
Lao Yu looked at his daughter.
From his perspective, Yu Xian tilted his face slightly, tilted his pointed chin, his tightly pursed red lips revealed a stubbornness, and his bright eyes reflected a sense of courage.
Her profile is picturesque and beautiful, but she also has an unquestionable persistence.
The cos sister not only has a "fishy" charm and love brain, don't forget that in high school, her "beauty and fierceness" shocked the entire Zhixin Middle School.
The attitude of those boys towards her was that they really wanted to get closer but were afraid of being slapped.
Yu Xiaoliang obviously knew his daughter well and knew that in this state, it would be impossible to change her "apology" request.
Of course, this condition is not excessive, but I don’t know if Tang Xiangyue can agree to it.
He sent a message to Tang Xiangyue to describe the current situation, thinking that he might need to spend more time after returning home.
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiangyue called directly.
Lao Yu initially thought that Tang Xiangyue was angry and wanted to go out to investigate, so he didn't answer the question the first time, but quietly put it in his pocket.
But Tang Xiangyue persisted in calling her, and the vibrating sound of her cell phone in her pocket made her very irritated.
"how?"
Grandma asked impatiently: "You brought a bomb here?"
"Ah...no, no."
Lao Yu said tangledly: "Work, work."
"I'll pick it up at work."
Grandma particularly despises her son's hesitant look. Even the granddaughter in the family has a character that dares to love and hate. Why is there a "gene mutation" in her son?
To put it in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect, you will never [rise] once in your life. "Well, then I'll go to the kitchen to pick you up."
Yu Xiaoliang stood up and went to the kitchen. After connecting the phone, he kept it a little away from his ears, so as not to hurt his eardrums when Tang Xiangyue cursed indiscriminately.
Unexpectedly, although Tang Xiangyue sounded anxious, she only blamed Lao Yu for being too slow in answering the phone.
"You haven't seen it after calling it a few times?"
Tang Xiangyue complained, and then asked: "That little hoof...where is Yu Xian?"
"what are you up to?"
Yu Xiaoliang asked cautiously.
When Tang Xiangyue heard the subconscious defense in her husband's tone, she felt a surge of anger inexplicably.
No matter when or what happens, the husband still cares most about that dead woman’s daughter.
But Tang Xiangyue had her own plan, so she suppressed the curse on her lips and said coldly: "Didn't she want me to apologize? You put the speakerphone on, and I'll tell her I'm sorry on the phone."
"Would you do that?"
Yu Xiaoliang was a little surprised, this was a bit unlike Tang Xiangyue's previous style of life.
"What can I do if I don't want to?"
Tang Xiangyue said in a tone of self-pity: "You hope that Yu Xian and I can get along well, otherwise we won't be able to eat well and sleep. Don't you feel sad when you see that?"
"After all, we are husband and wife now."
Tang Xiangyue sighed: "This little leaf's birthday is also a good opportunity. She has to apologize before she can condescend to come over, so I can only apologize."
"Thank you, Xiangyue..."
Tang Xiangyue's words moved Yu Xiaoliang.
Although he was not close to Xiao Yezi, he still fulfilled his responsibilities as a stepfather in raising her. Maybe Tang Xiangyue saw this, so she reciprocated and wanted to be nicer to Xian Meier.
"snort!"
Yu Xiaoliang, who was sighing with emotion, suddenly heard an imperceptible cold snort coming from the microphone.
It seems like ridicule, ridicule, and disdain.
"What?"
Yu Xiaoliang frowned.
"Forehead……"
Tang Xiangyue immediately covered it up and said: "I didn't say anything just now. Please take the phone to Yu Xian quickly. I will apologize to her now. By the way, your mother won't come over, right?"
"Then I must have heard wrongly."
Yu Xiaoliang thought this, so he put aside his doubts and said, "If you are willing, the old lady can come over."
"Forget it, forget it, she always dislikes me, don't curse me on Xiao Zizi's birthday."
Tang Xiangyue immediately refused.
To say that the most vicious and unreasonable person in Yu Xiaoliang's family is his mother, who has good health, a high voice, and is particularly good at swearing.
The two of them went to visit according to normal etiquette before getting married, but they were kicked out before they could enter the house, and they were even chased and scolded to the gate of the community.
From then on, Tang Xiangyue had a psychological shadow of fear towards that fat old lady, so much so that no matter how much she coveted the house in Zhusigang, she never dared to set foot here again.
We can only find a way to trick Yu Xian out and get her out of the old immortal's protection.
…
Next, the innocent Yu Xiaoliang came to the living room with his mobile phone on speakerphone. This weird action made Grandma Yu a little confused: "You melon baby are you dancing?"
"No, no."
Yu Xiaoliang scratched his head in embarrassment and put the phone in front of Yu Xian. A thin and sharp voice came from it, but he tried his best to sound gentle:
"Yu Xian? I'm your Aunt Tang."
"Long time no see. How have you been studying lately? You should be on holiday as well."
"I want to invite you to Xiao Zizi's tenth birthday party, which will be in three days."
"I heard from your father that you wanted me to apologize before you would come over. Auntie did not do well in some areas before. She was too busy at work and didn't care enough about you. But no matter what, we are still a family."
"It's Xiao Zizi's birthday, please come over. Auntie can bow and apologize to you in person."
…
Tang Xiangyue admitted her mistake from the bottom of her heart, which made Yu Xian's pretty face, which had always been tense, relax.
Yu Xiaoliang was also happy and relieved beside him, as if he had resolved an irreconcilable problem.
Only Grandma Yu curled her lips in disdain, took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and ate them slowly, as if she didn't take it to heart at all.
After the apology on the phone ended, Grandma Yu spit out a thin piece of melon seed shell from her mouth with a "pop" sound, and it rolled leisurely in the air and landed at Yu Xiaoliang's feet.
Lao Yu knelt down and picked it up without disdain and threw it into the trash can.
"That woman..."
Grandma Yu drooped her eyelids and said to herself: "Not sincere enough."
"mom."
Lao Yu was still not angry at all, and said softly: "I apologized, why wasn't it sincere enough?"
"Ha!"
Grandma slapped the table: "What does an apology mean? I can see that she is dirty at a glance! Sister Xian, don't go, watch TV with grandma at home, or go on a date with Chen Zhu."
"I've already agreed..."
Lao Yu wanted to argue but didn't dare, so he could only mutter.
"I'm going."
Yu Xian breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a meal, there won't be any big problem."
"You doll..."
Grandma didn't seem surprised by her granddaughter's decision. Xian Meier herself had such a character of abiding by promises.
"Don't let sister Xian be bullied!"
Grandma couldn't persuade Yu Xian, so she could only scold her son harshly.
"How can I bully my own daughter?"
Yu Xiaoliang, who had always spoken in a low voice, seemed to suddenly become braver when it came to this topic, and his voice became much louder.
Even Yu Xian couldn't help but said: "...I'm not the kind of person who lets others bully me."
Grandma thought about it, and then she reluctantly agreed.
"Mom, I'll get some water to wash your feet."
Seeing that it was almost 11 o'clock, Yu Xiaoliang knew that his mother had the habit of soaking her feet, so she planned to get some water.
Unexpectedly, grandma didn't appreciate it at all and drove them away directly: "I have a sister, who wants you to pretend to be attentive here!"
"I'm not pretending..."
Lao Yu rubbed his hands again. He wanted to say that he just wanted to express his filial piety, but seeing that his mother didn't want to see him, he could only pick up his bag and leave dejectedly.
"Right."
Before going out, Yu Xiaoliang suddenly remembered something: "Yaoer, is your mobile phone broken? I made several calls at night but nothing got through."
"Really?"
Yu Xian took it out and took a look at it, and understood the reason: "Maybe it shut down automatically due to rain and water. I will take out the battery to dry it tonight~"
Yu Xiaoliang saw that his daughter was still using a domestic mobile phone worth several hundred yuan, and she was reluctant to replace it with a new one even if it was soaked in water.
But Tang Xiangyue has been clamoring to change to a new Nokia model, which makes Lao Yu feel a little uncomfortable.
"When dad gives out the year-end bonus, I'll give you a new one!"
Yu Xiaoliang said.
"Need not."
Yu Xian refused without thinking, then closed the security door and prepared hot water for grandma to soak her feet.
"Hey, Ha'er, he doesn't have any idea, it's really annoying..."
Grandma is still cursing, and this is probably how she expresses her hatred of future generations.
Yu Xian squatted half-squatting and poured warm water on grandma's feet bit by bit.
"Xianmei'er~"
Grandma was still nagging angrily: "Why did you agree just now? There is no need to show that bitch any favors!"
Yu Xian was silent for a moment, the bangs on his forehead hanging down, covering his delicate face.
After a long while, she finally said softly: "It's not to give Tang Xiangyue face, I think... if I can get along with that woman on the surface, the old man can live a more comfortable life there. I saw a lot of white hair on his head today..."
Grandma was startled, put the melon seeds on the table, sighed and said: "You are as kind as your mother, but I always feel that Tang Xiangyue is not so kind..."
"It's okay."
Yu Xian raised his head, and while wiping grandma's feet, he said easily: "I'll leave as soon as I finish eating. I won't stay too long. If it doesn't work, I'll pull up the clothes too."
In the past, Sister Cos probably wouldn't have thought about bringing Chen Chu to such a complicated family occasion.
But today's "meeting parents" after the heavy rain seems to be the time for Chen Zhu to get to know the people and things on his side.
So sometimes, everything seems to be destined, one link leads to another.
"good!"
Unexpectedly, even grandma agreed. She clapped her hands and said, "I feel relieved to have this little girl by your side."
"Why?"
Yu Xian found it very interesting and asked with a smile: "You don't understand Chen Zhu."
"I don't understand him, but I understand you!"
Grandma said very firmly: "If I can catch you, I can't have a weak character like your old man. I believe he can protect you."
"I don't want to be a character who needs to be protected!"
Yu Xian wiped her grandma's feet clean, stood up and stretched, with a confident and charming expression: "I can also protect Director Chen!"
