Five years ago, a conspiracy led to an unexpected pregnancy, a city-wide manhunt, and homelessness.
In despair, she fled to another country.
Five years later, she made a grand return wi...
"Don't be sad. You're the only relative I have left now, so I want to take you to my side, closer so I can take care of you."
"This way, even if my mother is in heaven, she will be comforted when she sees this."
The old lady didn't say anything, but fell silent.
Xia Yunxi didn't know what she was thinking, but she patiently comforted her and waited for the old lady to figure it out herself.
Xia Yunxi stayed in the nursing home for an entire afternoon, accompanying the old lady to eat the elderly meal. When the sun gradually set, she left the nursing home.
The old lady agreed, and when she heard that she had already handled everything, she waited to take her away.
Even if the old lady objected, it seemed to be of no avail.
Then Xia Yunxi told her that she would go to work tomorrow and would pick her up in the morning when she had time.
…
After leaving the nursing home, Xia Yunxi hurried to pick up her two children.
When they arrived at Mr. Li's house, Xia Yunxi clearly felt that the atmosphere was not right.
When he arrived at the yard, it was a mess with papers scattered on the ground. Xia Yunxi squatted down and picked them up.
Then I saw the contents of the contract.
After watching it for a while, even Xia Yunxi, an outsider, was trembling with anger.
The door creaked open from the inside, and the old lady saw her coming and came out with her two children.
Seeing the contract she picked up, the old lady's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything.
Instead, he pushed the two children in front of Xia Yunxi and said, "You don't need to bring the children tomorrow. The old man is not feeling well. Come back a day later."
Xia Yunxi's grip on the paper tightened. She asked worriedly, "Is the old man okay? How about I drive him to the hospital?"
"No, it's nothing serious. Just take a day off."
Xia Yunxi looked around, "Auntie..."
"Hey, it's okay. It's not a big deal. Grandpa and I have been through a lot. We've seen everything." The old lady waved her hand, urging Xia Yunxi to leave quickly.
Seeing that she looked obviously a little tired, Xia Yunxi wanted to ask something, but it was difficult to say it at this time.
He walked out of the yard with the two children and went out along the alley.
Li Jinchen looked up at his mother. Even the usually noisy Xia Yuan was unusually silent at this moment, kicking the pebbles under his feet for fun.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" When Li Jinchen looked at her, Xia Yunxi felt his gaze.
In fact, you can guess without asking what happened to Mr. Li before she came.
It must be the old man and the old lady’s daughter who came to visit, otherwise the paper wouldn’t be scattered all over the yard.
Li Jinchen pursed his lips and said, "They said he was the teacher's son, but they forced the teacher to do things he didn't like."
Xia Yunxi looked down at the little guy at her feet in slight surprise, "Old Li's son?"
Xia Yu'an curled his lips and said, "He's just a bald guy, not even close to the teacher. They forced the teacher to wear clothes she didn't like, and then brought a photographer, saying they were going to film him in the yard."
When Xia Yu'an mentioned this, he leaned closer to Xia Yunxi and said in a low voice, using a tone he knew well: "I read the script. They want to sell electronic textbooks and learning tools. The teacher will be the negative example, and then they will film the positive side."
"I heard them talking on the side. They said that using the teacher's name to shoot this commercial would have a strong impact."
"Visual impact." Li Jinchen added.
"Yes, it was a visual impact, both positive and negative. Then the teacher got angry. Mommy, is the teacher going to be in trouble? At that time, the teacher asked grandma to kick that group of people out. The teacher was so angry that he couldn't even stand up."
Xia Yuan'an's logic was very clear, and he explained what he saw in just a few words.
Xia Yunxi's heart ached when she heard this. It was hard to imagine that there were only two elderly people and two children in the family at that time.
If that group of people use force, no one will be able to stand up to them.
She touched the two little guys' heads and asked, "Are you scared?"
Unexpectedly, Li Jinchen and Xia Yuan shook their heads at the same time.
Li Jinchen even said: "Don't be afraid, we will be able to protect Grandpa Li when we grow up."
"Yes, Grandma Li said that when we grow up, we won't be afraid of those bad guys anymore. If they come again, we will be able to defeat them."
Xia Yunxi smiled, although she didn't show anything on the surface.
However, a trace of worry emerged in his heart, worrying that Mr. Li would not be able to cope with his two children.
When he returned home in the evening, Xia Yunxi called Mr. Li and the others to ask if everything was alright.
If anything happened, she would rush over quickly.
Fortunately, nothing happened and the old lady told her not to worry, they were all fine.
I also told Xia Yunxi to remember to prepare the tools when I take the children there the day after tomorrow.
Xia Yunxi, who was listening intently, was amazed again and again. She only then realized that her two children could learn the courses so quickly?
It’s so amazing!
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yunxi thought for a while, and suddenly heard some movement behind her, so she turned around to look.
Li Hanting came down from upstairs with a cup of water in his hand.
Seeing her, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why don't you take a break?"
"Come down and make a cup of milk, do you need it?" Xia Yunxi put away her phone and walked out from the floor-to-ceiling window.
"No need." Li Hanting responded and walked to the kitchen, found the coffee machine, and ground coffee for himself.
Seeing this, Xia Yunxi walked over and said, "Li Hanting, it's already so late, can you sleep after drinking coffee?"
"Not bad!" the man operated the machine.
Xia Yunxi walked up to him without saying a word, snatched the cup from his hand, and turned off the coffee machine.
He performed a series of movements smoothly, and then turned to look at Li Hanting.
The man's expression didn't change much, but there was a hint of doubt in his deep eyes.
That's all.
Xia Yunxi sighed, "It's so late, drinking coffee is not good for your health. If you have work, can't you do it tomorrow?"
Li Hanting looked at the woman's serious expression, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously. He suddenly took a step closer to her, "Are you concerned about me?"
Xia Yunxi immediately showed his guard: "You are the father of two children. As a father, you should lead by example."
Otherwise, what if the children see it and learn this bad habit in the future?
"Oh, is that all?" The man lowered his voice, and at that moment his aura was fully released.
Xia Yunxi took a step back unconsciously, stiffening her neck and wanting to say something more.
Li Hanting suddenly grabbed her arm. As Xia Yunxi screamed, the man put his arm around her waist and held her head with the other hand.
The thin lips pressed down, and Xia Yunxi couldn't resist at all.
