Chapter 21 Is She Already Married?

The door was open, and sunlight poured into the room through the door windows. The scorching sun shone on Xu Yao, casting a layer of warm light on her bright and beautiful face.

Xu Jiaan blinked lightly, his dark eyes were misty like a deer in the mountains, and he looked at Xu Yao without blinking. It seemed like his mother was a fairy who specially saved him. Such a delicate and weak person could actually defeat a woman who was much bigger than her.

Ji Changyu, who was also running forward, paused. Seeing that Xu Yao had completely suppressed him, he calmly retracted his long legs.

The woman who was pinned to the ground by Xu Yao screamed and asked someone to pull Xu Yao away.

"Are you the mother of the little beggar? Let me go. Even if he was born by a mother but not taught by a father, it is a fact that he stole my dough sticks. The evidence is in his bowl. If I hit him twice, is it still my fault?!"

The onlookers began to persuade Xu Yao to release the man. They said that it was all Xu Jiaan's fault. Who asked Xu Jiaan to steal things?

Xu Yao was furious after hearing these words and threw away the fried dough sticks she had just bought.

"Look at what this is! My kids are not starving. I bought the two bowls of noodles on the table. I just bought youtiao. Why would we steal your youtiao? Jiaan, explain to them where the food in your bowl came from?"

Xu Jiaan raised his eyes and gave Xu Yao a complicated look.

In the past, if someone in the village lost a bunch of vegetables or a bundle of firewood, they would often report it to Xu Yao, wrongly accusing him of stealing it. However, Xu Yao would always beat him with a laundry mallet without any reason and never gave him a chance to explain.

This time, with irrefutable evidence, he didn't explain a word, and Xu Yao believed that he didn't steal.

Xu Jiaan had an urge to cry. He blinked away the moisture in his eyes. Perhaps God finally opened his eyes and looked at him, and gave him a wonderful mother.

Xu Jiaan clenched his fist and said, "I was drinking noodle soup from a bowl, and suddenly the fried dough sticks flew over and hit my bowl."

He is very depressed.

The good noodle soup was ruined and cannot be eaten.

In the past, he could drink the noodle soup without batting an eyelid even if there was mud on it. But his mom said he couldn't do that because it was dirty and had bacteria in it, and eating unclean things would cause worms to grow in his stomach, so he didn't dare to eat anything carelessly.

"Huh? What's the difference between what you said and pie falling from the sky? Why did you throw it into my bowl instead of someone else's?" The woman had a ferocious look on her face and sneered.

"Then I'll ask your daughter." Xu Yao looked calm and pulled the timid little girl out of the crowd. "Tell me, what's the matter with the fried dough sticks your mother put in her bag?"

"I...I...I don't know..." The little girl seemed to be frightened and kept trying to run outside, not even caring about her own mother.

"I don't know?" Xu Yao grabbed the little girl's wrist and opened her palm to show it to everyone, "Where did you get all that oil on your hands?"

"Little girl, stealing your own things is not against the law, but stealing and slandering others will lead to jail time. It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Come with me to the police station. I believe the police will be able to get to the bottom of it soon."

The little girl was only about eight or nine years old. How could she dare to go to the police station? What Xu Yao said made her mentally broken. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and she broke down in tears.

"I'm not going! I just wanted to tear off a little to see what the dough sticks tasted like, and I couldn't help but eat a few more bites..."

That fried dough stick was bought specially for her father and brother, so she wanted to taste it, but it was so delicious that she couldn't resist.

"My mother would definitely beat me to death if she saw me eat so much, so... I threw away half of the dough stick."

As luck would have it, it fell into Xu Jiaan's bowl.

When the woman heard this, she lifted the bench that Xu Yao was using to pin her down, raised her hand and slapped her daughter a few times, cursing her with all kinds of obscenities.

"Mom, how did you know she was the one who lost it?" Xu Jiaan raised his little face, his eyes full of admiration.

Xu Yao chuckled, "Because mom has sharp eyes."

Xu Jiaan, "..."

Mom is so childish.

Why was Xu Yao able to identify the suspect so quickly? Of course she did such a thing. She got into a lot of trouble when she was a child, and she was afraid of being beaten so she put the blame on her resentful sister and the fat neighbor. The little girl looked guilty, so who else could she suspect but her?

Of course, this approach is definitely wrong, so there is no need to speak about it.

After the mother and daughter finished scolding, they took the steamed buns they had bought and were about to leave. Xu Yao took Xu Jiaan's hand, stood up and stood in front of them, with her arms folded across her chest, staring at them with a smile.

"After you wrongly accused someone, you just want to walk away? You should at least apologize to my son, right?"

As for apologizing to Xu Yao, the woman could barely accept it, but she couldn't bring herself to apologize to a beggar-like child.

"You're so fussy, don't your in-laws mind? Get out of the way."

The woman's fat body had just pushed Xu Yao away when it was grabbed tightly by a big hand like an iron clamp.

Ji Zhangyu looked at her coldly from top to bottom, "Apologize."

"Why is your man here too?" the woman blurted out. She didn't dare to confront the tall and strong Ji Changyu. She said sorry awkwardly and quickly ran away with her daughter.

Xu Yao looked at the two people who were running away as if they were being chased by a ghost, and nodded to Ji Changyu.

This man looked cold and difficult to approach, but he had a good heart and helped her several times.

Ji Changyu paused for a moment, then smiled back.

In an instant, the iceberg melted and the magma underneath emerged, which was so magnificent that people could not take their eyes off it.

Looking at the dazzled Xu Yao, Xu Jiaan's heart was filled with alarm and he immediately upgraded Ji Changyu from "a very annoying person" to "number one enemy".

Xu Jiaan pulled Xu Yao's hand and said sweetly, "Mom, Dad will be back soon. Shall we go buy some noodles now?"

Xu Yao was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that the father Xu Jiaan mentioned was Xu Gang. Maybe the eldest son was hurt by the saying that he had a mother but no father, and wanted to prove to others that he had a father. She responded with pity and went to the window to order food.

Xu Jiaan curled his lips, walked briskly back to the table, and ate the fried dough sticks in big mouthfuls.

The sun was shining brightly outside, but Ji Changyu, who was standing under the sun, felt cold all over. It felt like there was a big hole in his chest, and a cold wind was blowing in.

Although it was not his intention to be a good child, he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when the truth was revealed.

That kid who liked to look cool and stern was not his son after all.

There was also a woman who made him fall in love at first sight and married someone else.

Ji Changyu felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, and there was a dull pain, no less than being shot in the heart.

He lowered his eyes, pinched the porcelain bowl with his long fingers, and let out a breath of foul air. At that time, the military order was as heavy as a mountain and there was no delay. It was just that they were destined not to be together.
