Chapter 270 Don't you hate her?
Knowing that if a quarrel really broke out, no matter who won in the end, she would definitely be branded as a gossipmonger. Huang Caiping still wanted to marry into the Su family, so she would not want to ruin her image of being well-educated, gentle and virtuous in everyone's mind. She quickly grabbed Shi Yamin and advised:
"Yamin, don't be impulsive. You just said that Captain Lu protects her like the apple of his eye. If you go to argue with her now, let's not talk about whether she will admit it. Even if she admits it, everyone will be very unhappy.
Don't you want to invite your third brother's girlfriend to your house for dinner? It will be so embarrassing if there is a real quarrel. In the end, won't you blame your sister-in-law for not knowing the general situation?"
After listening to Huang Caiping's words, Shi Yamin gradually calmed down. Seeing her good friend who always cared about her, Shi Yamin was very moved and said,
"Caiping, you are still thoughtful." After that, she said apologetically,
"Because of me, I really wronged you this time."
"There is no such thing as grievance between friends. As long as you know what is going on and don't be deceived by outsiders and destroy the relationship between us, it's fine." Huang Caiping said this with great understanding and justice, and anyone who heard this would be moved.
In fact, she was not panicked at all. In her opinion, she did not lie, and she was not afraid to confront Xia Qingqing. It was Xia Qingqing who said that Sun Hutu would be a good stepmother to Sun Yang, and she just told Shi Yamin.
After the two finished talking, Huang Caiping changed into Shi Yamin's skirt. Soon, the car to pick her up also arrived. Because there were guests coming to the house, Shi Yamin couldn't keep her for lunch. She helped her into the car very considerately and told Xiao Liu to drive slowly. When she saw the car driving away, she returned to the living room.
Zhou Huiying and Su Man had already returned with the vegetables. After listening to Huang Caiping's words, Shi Yamin didn't ask Xia Qingxi anything, but she looked very unhappy in her eyes, and her eyes were almost rolling out of her eyes.
Xia Qingxi was not stupid. She knew that Huang Caiping had just deliberately found an excuse to go into the room with Shi Yamin, and she would definitely turn black and white in front of Shi Yamin.
Originally, she was still considering whether to remind Shi Yamin and be wary of this best friend. After all, Shi Yamin had spoken for her when she went to the school to apply for a job last time.
But now seeing Shi Yamin's attitude, she knew that even if she said it, she would not believe it, and she would be accused of provoking the feelings of her best friends. Xia Qingqing naturally would not do such a thankless task. It
was almost noon when Su Xiangnan brought Xia Guyu home. Xia Guyu thoughtfully prepared gifts for everyone, and the one for Su Yang was a very exquisite box.
Su Yang opened it and found a model of an airplane. His face was first surprised, then delighted, and finally turned into horror.
He has always been particularly fond of models, vehicles, tanks, machine guns... This airplane model is particularly exquisite, and the details of each part are very well done. It looks like a miniature version of a real airplane.
Unlike the last time Xia Qingxi gave him cookies, this time Su Yang quickly put them away without waiting for Su Xiangnan to remind him. While Shi Yamin in the kitchen hadn't seen it, he took the model and ran back to his room.
No one noticed this episode. The parents of the Su family liked Xia Guyu very much when they saw her generous and lively. Shi Yamin didn't have any opinion on her at first, but after seeing her and Xia Qingxi chatting happily, as if they were very good friends, she lost her good face.
A few days ago, Su Man took the initiative to find Xia Qingxi, talked about the photo, and apologized. Now she no longer has a prejudice against Xia Qingxi. Although they are not good friends, they have become polite on the surface. During
lunch, Lu Jingxie remembered what the doctor said in the morning: "Eat less animal waste and drink less alcohol." He quietly moved Su Yunlong's favorite stir-fried pork liver from in front of him to the other side, and only poured him one glass of wine.
Watching Lu Jingxie doing this silently, Xia Qingxi found that he was really cold on the outside but warm on the inside to the people he cared about, and it was the same for his uncle and her.
After dinner, the Su family took Xia Guyu aside to chat. Xia Qingying saw Su Yang sitting quietly in the corner, looking down, thinking about something. Suddenly, she felt distressed.
She noticed during dinner that Su Yang only picked up the dishes in front of him, and most of the time, he only picked up vegetarian dishes, such as the delicious braised pork, meatballs, and pork elbows. He never took the initiative to pick up the dishes. Even
if Su Xiangnan and Lu Jingchen helped him pick up the dishes, he would look at Shi Yamin carefully, and only dared to eat them in small bites when he saw that she did not show any displeasure.
It was originally his own home, but he lived like a guest under someone else's cage.
Through Su Yang in front of her, Xia Qingxi seemed to see Guangguang in Ah Zhen's sister-in-law's home again. Both children were quiet, always playing by themselves with their heads down. But unlike Guangguang, Su Yang's pain was not brought to him by outsiders, but by his own biological mother.
If it was an outsider, she could still help him fight for justice, but it was his biological mother who hurt him. As an outsider, she had no right to intervene.
Looking at his wife, and then at his nephew sitting next to him, Lu Jingchen asked Xia Qingqing:
"Want to go and give Su Yang some advice?"
Xia Qingqing hesitated and replied:
"My sister-in-law probably doesn't like me getting close to him."
Lu Jingchen frowned slightly and said:
"Su Yang is a person, not her property." After saying this, Lu Jingchen took his wife's hand, walked straight to Su Yang, and said to him:
"Su Yang, your fourth aunt is bored alone, come and chat with her."
Lu Jingchen would occasionally talk to Su Yang, but he was a man after all, and he didn't like to laugh. He originally wanted to get close to him, but for some reason, Su Yang seemed a little scared every time he saw him, and wanted to run away after talking to him for a few words.
His wife is beautiful, kind, and thoughtful. It's perfect for her to guide Su Yang.
Su Yang raised his head when he heard the voice and looked at Xia Qingxing. Seeing that the other party was looking at him with a smile on his face, he nodded politely to Lu Jingchen and said,
"Okay, fourth uncle."
Lu Jingchen immediately let go of Xia Qingxing's hand and walked back to the living room, leaving the space for the two of them.
"Su Yang, Aunt Guyu just gave you a model, and I think you seem to like it very much." Xia Qingying started to talk, wanting to start a conversation about a topic that interested him.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Su Yang's face suddenly tensed up, and he immediately raised his index finger, put it to his lips, and made a gesture of silence.
"What's wrong?" Xia Qingying turned down her voice and asked.
"Don't let Mom know about the model." Su Yang's voice was even lower than Xia Qingying's, and his face was full of fear.
"Why?" Xia Qingying was puzzled.
When asked this question, Su Yang lowered his head and whispered:
"She will be very angry." After hesitating for a while, he said:
"I don't want my mother to be angry. I want her to be happy every day."
"Don't you hate her?" Xia Qingqing asked without thinking. After all, everyone has seen how Shi Yamin treats Su Yang. It must be hard for a child to live under such high pressure for a long time.
"No." Su Yang shook his head quickly and answered very firmly.
"Why not?" Xia Qingqing was a little surprised. After all, Shi Yamin treated him so badly, it was normal to hate her!
"She is my mother." Su Yang answered so naturally, as if he was saying something that should be taken for granted.
Maybe in the child's heart, the mother is an eternal and sacred existence that cannot be replaced. Even if she speaks ill of him and never treats him well, he still loves her unconditionally.
