Chapter 29 Why are you still taking action?
Bai Shuyao's foot was already injured, and she walked unsteadily. She seemed to have rushed here in a hurry, and she lost her balance and fell in from outside. She supported herself on the ground with her hands and looked up at the five people in the room.
She wore a light yellow floral dress today, and her jet-black hair was braided into a side braid with a silk scarf of the same color, hanging in front of her chest.
When I looked up at the people in the room, I felt anxious and fragile, and finally everything froze. Every frame seemed to be carefully designed and was incredibly beautiful.
Seeing this, the three men at the dinner table jumped up from their chairs.
Ye Surong was also frightened by Bai Shuyao's appearance, so she hurried forward, bent down and helped Bai Shuyao up from the ground.
Jiang Cha came over and supported Bai Shuyao on both sides with Ye Surong, fearing that she would fall again.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
"Yeah, why are you so anxious?"
"Your leg is already injured. What if you fall and hurt yourself again? What will happen to you?"
"Yeah, what should I do?"
Jiang Cha was like a tape recorder. Whatever Ye Surong said, she repeated it.
Bai Shuyao didn't wait for the three men from the Huo family to come and help her. She was already feeling disappointed. In her ears, she could still hear Ye Surong's hypocritical concern and Jiang Cha's distorted concern.
God knows how she controlled her emotions and didn't push Jiang Cha and Ye Surong away.
Bai Shuyao's tears fell in strings.
"Uncle Huo, my mom hasn't eaten, drunk, or slept for two days straight. Is she going to be upset?"
Bai Shuyao limped forward and begged, "Uncle Huo, please consider it as a plea from me. Can you please go see my mother?"
"Can't get over it?" Jiang Cha was shocked. "Comrade Bai Shuyao, Aunt Wang is upset. We need to find the Women's Affairs Director right away. Our Uncle Huo is just a rough guy. How can he comfort anyone?"
Huo Jingye almost laughed out loud, "Chacha is right. If my dad goes to comfort someone, that person might commit suicide in the next second. Bai Shuyao, you really have the wrong person."
Bai Shuyao still held a glimmer of hope, "Uncle Huo, do you know why my mother..."
Huo Tingkun finally spoke, "It's precisely because I know why your mother became like this that I can't go."
"Uncle Huo...you've known my mother for so many years. Even as a friend, can't you go see her?"
"I consider her a friend, but outsiders may not think so."
Huo Tingkun didn't want what happened yesterday to happen again.
Neither Su Rong nor Cha Cha should have suffered such an unexpected disaster.
"Yaoyao, you've grown up now, you should understand that I don't have that kind of feelings for your mother."
Hearing this, Bai Shuyao's tears flowed even harder.
"Uncle Huo, I don't have a father anymore. Even you don't want me anymore, right?"
Huo Tingkun's face turned pale. The incident with Bai Jianjun had always been a thorn in Huo Tingkun's heart.
"I……"
Huo Tingkun could reject Wang Qing's advances, but he could not ignore Bai Shuyao's suffering.
No matter what, he owes Bai Shuyao a father, and this is a fact.
Ye Surong held Huo Tingkun's hand and gave him an encouraging smile.
"I'll go with you."
"no."
Bai Shuyao suddenly became excited, but quickly calmed down. "My mother is very sad. If she saw you, Uncle Huo, and Aunt Ye together, she would definitely be even sadder."
Jiang Cha released the hand that was supporting Bai Shuyao. "Comrade Bai Shuyao, according to your idea, Uncle Huo must go to your house alone today to meet your mother, right?"
"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about my mom."
Jiang Cha sneered. This woman really won't cry until she sees the coffin.
"You've dressed up carefully today, haven't you? This dress is carefully chosen to complement your skin tone and figure. Is the scarf you're using to braid your hair new?"
With every word Jiang Cha said, Bai Shuyao's face turned paler.
"Don't slander me, I didn't do that."
"Yes, you didn't. You've been pretending since you walked in, pretending to be anxious and worried. You kept saying it was for your mother, but you didn't even mess up your hair. Did you deliberately take care of your hair before rushing in?"
Jiang Cha had seen this kind of trick many times at the dinner table in his previous life. Bai Shuyao's performance was full of loopholes. Jiang Cha didn't believe a single word she said.
Huo Jingchuan looked at Jiang Cha dimly.
He always felt that his sister was very magical.
Although she was only seventeen or eighteen years old, there was always a depth in her eyes that did not belong to her age group.
Her eyes can see through so many things at a glance. They are clear and bright, and incredibly beautiful, but the vicissitudes of life mixed in them are also real.
Huo Jingchuan didn't understand why she looked so old.
Miss Sun of the Ye family grew up in luxury and should have been the most carefree princess in the world.
"I don't……"
"Really?"
Jiang Cha's question stumped Bai Shuyao.
She didn't dare answer.
Damn, why is this bitch so smart?
"Did I say that?"
Bai Shuyao finally couldn't help it and pushed Jiang Cha back suddenly.
Huo Jingchuan was closest to Jiang Cha. He suddenly pressed against Jiang Cha's vest. The warmth of his palm passed through the thin fabric and reached Jiang Cha's skin, burning into her heart.
"No, you, why are you still doing this?"
Huo Jingye became anxious.
It was a pity that he had thought Bai Shuyao was a good person before, and it would be nice if she could be a pair with his elder brother.
Before Ye Surong could say anything, Huo Tingkun grabbed her.
"Bai Shuyao, I've already explained everything to your mother yesterday. If she's really upset, I'll go find Sister-in-law He and try to persuade her. If Sister-in-law He can't persuade her, I can report it to the commander and have him do some ideological work on her."
"If you have any ideas, you can report them directly to the commander. If you really feel that I have let your family down, I can give my life as compensation to Bai Jianjun, but my wife and daughter don't owe you anything."
Huo Tingkun has always been strict only in the army. In private, he rarely gets so angry.
Bai Shuyao had never seen Huo Tingkun like this before, and she was a little scared.
"I……"
She kept saying "I" for a long time but couldn't figure out what she meant.
"You've been out for a long time. Your mother is home alone. Are you worried?"
Every word Jiang Cha said was like a knife, stabbing Bai Shuyao in the heart.
Ye Surong still couldn't help but say: "I'll take you home."
Under such circumstances, Bai Shuyao didn't dare to say another word.
Huo Tingkun was originally going to go with Ye Surong, but Jiang Cha stopped him, "I'd better go!"
"Okay."
Bai Shuyao walked slowly, and it was not until she reached the door of her own home that the coldness on her back barely subsided.
Wang Qing was not sick after all.
As soon as she entered the door, Ye Surong saw her sitting on a bamboo bed making shoes.
One could tell from the man's shoe size that it was for Huo Tingkun.
Wang Qing didn't seem to expect that the person coming would be Ye Surong.
She hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand, put the pair of men's cloth shoes that were almost finished into the sewing basket, and moved it aside.
"Comrade Wang Qing, would you like to talk?"
Wang Qing carefully observed the expression on Ye Surong's face. There was no anger or jealousy. As a woman, Ye Surong was perfect in every aspect, making her feel ashamed.
She looked at Bai Shuyao who was standing outside the door in panic.
All he got was Bai Shuyao's desperate look.
Her mother had been completely eliminated in front of Uncle Huo.
Wang Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she replied nervously, "Okay."
A one-bedroom house with the door closed.
Ye Surong sat at the square table, calm and composed.
Wang Qing was sitting opposite her, her hands clasped together nervously.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not here to blame you, nor to make you uncomfortable."
Ye Surong's eyes were gentle, she was like a tranquil sea, able to embrace everything in the world.
"As a woman myself, I can understand your thoughts."
Her husband passed away, and she was alone with her daughter. With such an outstanding man like Huo Tingkun by her side, he helped these orphans and widows from time to time. It would be hard for anyone not to be moved.
"But, as Tingkun's wife, your current behavior has already caused him trouble. You are the widow of a martyr, and Tingkun is a serving soldier. He and I are already legally married. If you insist on inserting yourself between us, the only one who will suffer will be you."
Wang Qing clenched her hands. "Huo Tingkun and I have known each other for ten years. Since my husband passed away, he has been the only light in my life. Why should I give in just because you appear? If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have treated me like this at all."
Although she is cowardly and has no opinion of her own, she really likes Huo Tingkun.
Wang Qing had imagined more than once what she would be like after marrying Huo Tingkun. Whether for her daughter or for herself, she should not give up her persistence on Huo Tingkun.
A man she never had has gradually replaced her husband's position in her heart over the years and has become a part of her life.
What's the difference between asking her to give up and cutting out her flesh and heart?
"Wake up, if Tingkun really has you in his heart, how could he want to marry me after knowing you for ten years?"
"That's because he feels guilty. He minds that I was once his brother's wife, but he's too embarrassed to say it. Do you think he really loves you?"
Wang Qing was hysterical.
"If you insist on thinking this way, I can't help it. Matters of the heart are like drinking water; only the person who drinks it knows whether it's hot or cold. Wang Qing, you still have a daughter. Please think twice before you act."
Outside the Wang family's door, Jiang Cha and Bai Shuyao were leaning against a pillar on either side. Jiang Cha was listening to the movements inside the house while facing Bai Shuyao's gaze.
"You thought you won, didn't you?"
Bai Shuyao's voice sounded faintly.
"Ginger Tea, the competition between us has just begun."
There was no hope for her mother to marry Huo Tingkun, but she could still find a way to marry Huo Jingchuan.
As long as she can marry into the Huo family, this mother and daughter will be gone sooner or later!
