Chapter 448 Don’t Blame My Parents
There was no shelter on the pier, and the winter wind was so strong that it made people shiver.
The surroundings were still noisy with people coming and going, but Bai Kui's world was unusually quiet, so quiet that it made his legs tremble and his heart panic.
This feeling of being suppressed by his son has always made him feel extremely warm and proud every time he tastes it over the past twenty-two years.
But definitely not today.
"Son, are you lying to your father?" He was extremely shocked.
Bai Yu raised his peach blossom eyes, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes could make people feel uneasy. "Which words did I lie to you?"
"If you were to describe your behavior in the business world, it would be called 'fraud'."
"Isn't this what you taught me?"
"Impossible, I've lived an upright life!"
"Your face is so thick that it can be sharpened by knives." Bai Yu snorted with a curl of his lips and continued to walk out of the dock. Immediately, footsteps followed him from behind.
"Son, listen to my explanation. This time I'm really explaining it!"
"Don't explain. You've been hiding it for twenty-two years anyway, so it's no different from hiding it for a lifetime."
Bai Kui begged for mercy, "Your temper is even harder to appease than your mother."
Bai Kui sighed and lowered his voice, "Son, Dad knows you're cunning and shrewd, but don't blame your mother for this. She has her reasons. Yu'er, she loves and cares for you more than anyone else."
Bai Yu didn't say anything.
Even someone as cunning as Bai Kui couldn't be sure what his son was thinking at this moment.
As soon as we left the dock, the noise immediately faded away.
Although his ears were quiet, he didn't feel much more relaxed. Bai Kui looked at the young man who was walking in front of him with his head down, and his expression was complicated and difficult to read.
"Son, are you really angry? Son?" Bai Kui suppressed the bitterness in his heart, forced a smile, and chased after him again, saying the words he had carefully considered for a while, "Son, you are unhappy and angry, and you are taking it out on your father. I just want to ask you for one thing. Don't blame your mother, okay? She has had a much harder life these years than you think."
The young man finally spoke, two words, "What about you?"
Bai Kui was stunned, "What?"
"Aren't you miserable?"
"..." Bai Kui's eyes instantly turned red, and a salty taste filled his mouth, but the smile on his face was genuine. He stepped forward, stretched out his long arm, and put it on his son's shoulder, "Dad is not suffering! I have you by my side! As long as Dad sees you, all the suffering is gone!"
"You old idiot, you're playing tricks again, trying to appease me. When will you stop?" Bai Yu paused, then tilted his head to look at the person beside him seriously, his gaze sliding across the face with visibly wrinkled lines. "Whether it was before, now, or in the future, I have never blamed you and will never blame you. Old man, I've lived a very happy and joyful life these past twenty-two years."
"That's right. Your mother can't accompany you, so your father takes her share and loves you twice as much. Otherwise, you can become a bully since you are young." After getting his son's consent, the man became proud and carried away with joy.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my temples.
When he came to his senses, he saw a white hair in front of him, which his son had pulled from his temple.
The unfilial son shook the white hair in front of his eyes and told him, "You are old, so be more cautious when you are out there. You play tricks too much, and all you have is white hair! How could my mother fall for an old man like you!"
Bai Kui, "..."
If this wasn't his son, he would have slapped him to death!
Bai Yu carefully put the white hair into his lapel, looked ahead, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He doesn't blame his parents.
As the saying goes, his father gave him double the love since he was a child, and never let him lack anything.
He has everything that others have, and he also has things that others don't have.
So he never envied others for having a mother while he didn't, because his father gave him everything he could.
Looking back on his 22 years of life, it was all about indulgence and he really had never suffered any hardship.
Behind him, there are two people who have taken on all the hardships, so that he can become the Bai Yu of today.
Complain? Blame? He was the last person to do so.
"Son, I'll ask you later if there's any news from Xiling. You caught me off guard that day, and I wasn't prepared at all. I had to ask your second aunt to take the snacks I bought to your mother... We finally met, but when you left, you didn't even have the chance to say goodbye, you bastard..." After the matter was explained clearly and the father and son talked it out, Bai Kui was fearless in making another request.
Bai Yu smirked at him, "Where has City Lord Bai's usual shrewdness gone? Now that I know the truth, who can stop you from going to Xiling in the future?"
"That won't do. Every time I show up, your mother is in more danger. It's best not to see each other. Besides, who is your father? If love is long-lasting, why should we be together day and night? Dad can endure it!"
"I'm not a three-year-old child. It's not that easy for others to harm me. You really don't need to be so cautious. But since Dad can endure it, fine, endure it."
Bai Kui was speechless again.
In that case, he doesn't have to endure it.
When you have free time, it’s not a bad idea to be a spy for your wife.
Anyway, my son is extroverted and is away from home for most of the year, so he has nothing to do anyway.
"Son, when you become the son-in-law of the Su family, your father and your mother will be together. Work harder!"
The son stumbled, causing the man to burst into laughter.
The father and son got the news and returned to the boat, and the round trip took no more than an hour.
The cabin was still bustling with activity. The boys and girls always had endless energy, and with an old man who was eager to create chaos in the world, there was no peace and quiet for a moment.
"What's the matter? Is the news true? Are they really going to fight?" The old man squatted beside them, like a hen sitting on brood, hatching cocoons for the two little girls in turn. He didn't dare turn his head while speaking, but just glanced sideways.
"Yeah." Bai Yu walked straight to the low table and sat down, a strange smile on his lips. "Someone couldn't wait and muddied the waters even further without waiting for us to take action."
The three Su brothers came over immediately and asked, "What do you mean?"
"During the time we were in Xiling, Iron Men appeared again in Dongpu Imperial City, and this time we saw even more people with our own eyes."
“…”
Tian Bao, who was originally dozing by the window, opened her dark eyes upon hearing this and asked, "Are they the same group that caused the riot in Xiling?"
"I'm not sure." Bai Yu looked at her and smiled. "Wenren Jing is on his way to Xiling. He dared to set foot in Xiling at this time... I think he might have been robbed."
Since this matter concerned Xiling, the princess immediately became an insider. "Wenren Jing? He's been coming to Xiling frequently over the years. With him mediating, the relationship between Xiling and Beixiang has always been good. What does it mean that he's being robbed by someone else?"
The eldest princess didn't know much about the details of the imperial mausoleum incident.
Bai Yu and others didn't want her to worry too much, so they didn't say much to her before.
Now the old lady's spirits have recovered well, and she also has the energy to care about the affairs of Xiling State. After hesitating for a moment, everyone told her the whole story.
