Bai Qingxuan helped Bai Shuyu out and glanced at Huo Jiaqi: "Thank you very much for this time. I'll treat you to dinner after Shuyu has a rest."

Huo Jiaqi waved his hand. Seeing Bai Shuyu's sad look, he stepped forward and unconsciously reached out to support Bai Shuyu: "I don't have anyone to pick me up, so I'll take your car back."

Bai Qingxuan raised his eyebrows: "Going back to the West District villa?"

"Well, accompany mom and dad."

Bai Qingxuan was surprised. Huo Jiaqi never suddenly said that she wanted to go back to the villa in the west district to stay with her parents for a few days before. Has she changed her mind now?

Or does he have other intentions?

There was a smile in Bai Qingxuan's eyes, but that smile was particularly meaningful.

Huo Jiaqi looked at Bai Shuyu in her arms, her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Get in the car."

Bai Qingheng glanced at Bai Shuyu and Huo Jiaqi, the smile in his eyes never faded.

Huo Jiaqi glanced at Bai Qingyan and said, "Drive."

"You're so polite, you just treat me as your driver."

Bai Qingxuan snorted and laughed, then drove out.

After a long period of tension and an instant of relaxation, Bai Shuyu slowly fell asleep after getting in the car.

The car drove forward and bumped a bit when passing a speed bump.

Her body tilted and her head was about to hit the car window, but she was protected by a big hand.

Bai Shuyu's head hit Huo Jiaqi's palm, and Huo Jiaqi used his strength to let her lean on his shoulder.

Bai Qingxuan glanced at Huo Jiaqi, and when he met his expression, he curled his lips and said, "Okay, okay, okay. Got it."

The car then moved very smoothly without any more bumps.

Bai Shuyu was sleeping soundly. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the car had stopped. She looked through the window and saw the West District villa that she had been away from for a long time.

"woke up."

Huo Jiaqi's voice rang in her ears. Bai Shuyu's eyes fell on her side. When she realized that she was still leaning on his shoulder, she quickly looked up and left: "Sorry."

Bai Shuyu rubbed her cheeks with her hands and looked at Huo Jiaqi, her eyes so shy that she didn't know where to look.

"I, I'll get off first."

She opened the car door and hurried out, her heart still pounding.

Huo Jiaqi's eyes just now seemed as if she wanted to eat her.

Bai Shuyu shook her head. How could that be possible?

She must have seen it wrong, that was for sure.

She stood at the door, her eyes fixed on the door handle. Although she was already home, Bai Shuyu found that she didn't even have the courage to go in.

She took a deep breath and after preparing herself mentally for a long time, Bai Shuyu reached out to open the door, but she didn't expect the door to be opened from the inside.

The image of her mother appeared in Bai Shuyu's eyes. Before she could even utter the word "Mom," she was embraced in his arms: "Shuyu!"

"You really have a cruel heart! For so many years, you cut off contact with my parents, my Xingxing, and my poor granddaughter for a man."

Bai Shuyu's tears fell one by one, and she hugged her mother tightly and burst into tears again.

Bai Qingxuan felt very upset in his heart. The corners of his eyes were red with anger. He looked at his mother and sister and said, "Okay, stop crying. Let's go inside first."

Mother Bai let go of Bai Shuyu, and seeing her beautiful daughter now looking so pale, her heart ached and she almost burst into tears again.

"Mom, I'm fine."

Bai Shuyu seemed to be able to sense her mother's emotions and forced herself to smile: "I am much better now than before."

"Okay, I'm your mother, don't I know you?"

Bai's mother sat on the sofa, looking at Bai Shuyu as if she couldn't get enough of her. "This time, thanks to Jiaqi for telling us about your situation. If it weren't for him, I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret from us!"

Bai Shuyu lowered her head and listened obediently to her mother's teachings.

"Mom, my sister doesn't want to either."

Bai Qingxuan looked at Bai Shuyu's listless appearance and said, "She just came back today, so don't scold her."

"Your brother will speak for you today, so go and rest early!"

Bai Shuyu's forehead was tapped by her mother: "I'll settle the score with you tomorrow!"

Bai Qingyan winked at his sister, and Bai Shuyu responded and ran upstairs obediently.

When she was lying on the bed, the ringing of her cell phone brought Bai Shuyu back to her senses. She looked at the message sent by Huo Jiaqi.

[I won't disturb you from reuniting with your family. I'll go back first.]

Bai Shuyu thought about today's situation and quickly edited the text and sent it over: [Thank you for today.]

Just as the text message was sent successfully, the phone rang. Bai Shuyu answered the call, and Huo Jiaqi's cold voice came over: "Did your aunt embarrass you?"

Bai Shuyu burst out laughing when Huo Jiaqi's words came over: "She's my mother, how could she possibly embarrass me?"

"But you, haven't you rested yet?"

Bai Shuyu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, her eyes filled with tiny smiles: "Thank you for everything I've done recently."

Huo Jiaqi's eyes were full of smiles. "If you want to say thank you, why not just treat me to a meal?"

There was a faint laugh in the microphone. Bai Shuyu thought for a long time before nodding in agreement: "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal after I take care of my family affairs."

Huo Jiaqi responded: "Okay, good night."

After the call ended, Bai Shuyu held the phone in her hand, feeling the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, and she slowly fell asleep.

"Star!"

When she woke up again, Bai Shuyu was breathing heavily. She saw that the sky outside the gauze window was still pitch black. She was so disturbed by the environment in her dream that she could no longer sleep.

Bai Shuyu threw back the quilt, got out of bed, and sat on the balcony, staring blankly at the sky.

It was not until dawn that the first ray of sunlight shone through the clouds. Bai Shuyu moved her stiff body. Finally, it was daybreak.

She turned and walked out of the house. When she came downstairs, she saw her mother busy in the kitchen. Bai Shuyu walked over quickly.

"mom."

Bai's mother paused and turned to look at Bai Shuyu: "Why are you awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Bai Shuyu shrugged her nose: "What's that smell? It smells so good."

She didn't mention whether she slept or not, and changed the subject, but was stunned when she saw the tomato and egg noodles cooking in the pot.

"What's wrong?"

Tears rolled down Bai Shuyu's face. When she heard her mother's caring voice, she opened her mouth but found that she couldn't say a word.

"Shuyu, what's wrong?"

Bai Shuyu's eyes fell on her mother. When she heard this, she choked up and said, "Mom, these noodles are not only my favorite, Xingxing likes them too."

Mother Bai was stunned. She looked at Bai Shuyu and quickly covered the pot: "It's all my fault, Shuyu. Mom didn't know. We won't eat it anymore. We won't eat it anymore."

Bai Shuyu shook her head and forced a smile: "It has nothing to do with you, Mom. It's my fault for not taking good care of Xingxing."

The moment she finished speaking, Bai Shuyu fainted.
