Chapter 878 Cheating Discovered
The two of them ate for more than an hour and finished the beer.
Huo Sijiao rubbed her belly and said, "Satisfied."
All her bad mood tonight disappeared with the barbecue.
Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "If there's anything wrong, just have a barbecue. It will definitely solve the problem! I'll give you his phone number, and you can order whatever you want. We at the Xie Mansion can also accept takeout. Just make a note not to call and leave it at the door. You won't be discovered."
Huo Sijiao took a sip of beer and looked at the old lady, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Grandma, if I... I mean, if Xie Xubai and I divorced..." Huo Sijiao found it difficult to speak.
But she felt that divorce was very likely to happen.
Mrs. Xie was stunned. "Why are you talking about divorce? Is he really not good enough in that aspect?"
"no."
"That's because he didn't protect you tonight?"
"Not really. Actually, we two..." It was an agreement from the beginning.
But Huo Sijiao looked at Old Lady Xie's caring eyes and felt that she couldn't say it out loud, so she said, "The divorce rate is so high, half of all marriages end in divorce. I'm just assuming that if we get divorced..."
"That's impossible. We in the Xie family don't accept divorce."
Mrs. Xie was no fool. She could tell there was something fishy going on between the young couple. She'd lived long enough to know there was something fishy going on in their hasty marriage.
But since her granddaughter-in-law had already arrived at her house, there was no reason for her to leave.
She needs to work harder.
"Jiaojiao, think about our Xu Bai's shortcomings. Why are you thinking of getting a divorce?"
There must always be a reason for doing things.
"I……"
"You have to explain it clearly to grandma, otherwise I won't agree to the divorce."
Huo Sijiao wiped the barbecue sauce off her lips with a tissue and said softly, "I came to the capital with my brother and sister-in-law. I didn't want to stay at first. My brother and sister-in-law will definitely leave in due time, and I don't want to stay in the capital alone..."
She was afraid of being alone; this was not the place where she grew up.
"Then you are reluctant to leave Haicheng?"
"Um."
Mrs. Xie asked directly, "Do you like narration?"
Maybe it was because he drank some wine, but those awkward words came out quickly.
Huo Sijiao thought back to the time she spent with Xie Xubai and could not utter a word of denial.
"I like him very much, but I can't bear to leave Haicheng even more."
Old Mrs. Xie blamed her grandson for not being strong enough to win his wife's heart. She was about to take action!
"That's easy. I have a solution that will give you the best of both worlds."
Huo Sijiao asked, "What method?"
"Let Xubai go back to Haicheng with you, and you can live separately. If he wants to live in Haicheng forever, that's fine, after all, we still have Jingchu at home. It's also time for him to visit your parents. If you want to accompany him back to the imperial capital, go ahead, and if you want to stay in Haicheng, you can stay. This matter is not difficult to solve. Why are young people so stupid?"
The old lady is very insightful.
"But Haicheng isn't Xie Xubai's home either. Where would he be..."
"Why are you being so pretentious, a grown man? It's the girls who have to worry about marrying far away. We didn't consider your feelings. If you really like him, don't divorce him. If you miss this opportunity, you might never find it again. We, Xu Bai, can't say we're only one in ten thousand, but we can at least pick one in a hundred."
Huo Sijiao couldn't help laughing when she heard her bragging.
The depression in my heart also dissipated.
The idea of divorce has faded a lot.
If Xie Xubai is willing, the problem can indeed be solved.
But Huo Sijiao wasn't sure what he was thinking, as his career was in the imperial capital.
Ask him later.
It's not like tonight, where I'm always kicked out by him.
That would be so embarrassing.
"Come, have some red wine. This bottle of red wine has been treasured for more than 20 years. It was left by my old man when he was still alive. I have never been willing to drink it." Old Madam Xie took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet and filled it for Huo Sijiao.
Red wine goes well with barbecue.
It’s not bad.
The two of them drank until they were half drunk, then went back to their room.
…
The next day, the sky was just getting light.
It was snowing lightly outside again, and a thin layer covered the ground, making it look very clean.
There was a commotion in the Xie Mansion.
Mrs. Xie had acute gastroenteritis and was screaming in pain. The family doctor was brought in, gave her medicine, and put her on an IV drip.
"Doctor, how is my mother-in-law?"
Madam Wanrong asked softly with an anxious look on her face.
"Eating irritating food has caused gastrointestinal disorders. But it's not a big deal. A few days of IV drip and rest will be enough. You must eat a light diet during this period, and it's best to eat liquid food during these few days."
The family doctor took one look at the old lady's pale complexion and said, "Old people shouldn't eat anything carelessly when they're older. You family members must pay close attention to this."
"yes."
Madam Wanrong nodded repeatedly and sent the doctor out the door.
Xie Xubai stood by the bed with a cold face, looking at the guilty and upset old lady and said, "What did you eat again? Did you forget that you have three highs?"
"I didn't... just ate a little."
Old Mrs. Xie muttered, "I ate some barbecue and drank some beer. And then...drank half a bottle of red wine."
An old lady in her seventies or eighties actually eats barbecue and drinks.
Really capable!
Those beef and mutton are difficult foods for an old lady to digest.
She dares to eat it!
"etc!"
The old lady suddenly remembered something, "Xu Bai, go check on your wife! Jiaojiao ate a lot with me last night. Could it be that this food is unclean? She must be feeling unwell!"
When Xie Xubai heard this, he felt overwhelmed.
He walked towards the master bedroom and knocked on the door.
No one answered.
Finally, I pushed the door open and saw a petite figure lying on the big bed.
She seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Xie Xubai felt relieved.
He slowly walked to the bedside and suddenly realized something was wrong.
Huo Sijiao's face was red and her lips were dry and chapped. It was very uncomfortable to look at. Xie Xubai reached out to touch her cheek.
I just felt the temperature in my hands was extremely hot!
I have a fever!
He immediately turned around and walked out of the room, shouting towards the stairs: "Mother, tell the doctor not to leave yet. Jiaojiao has a fever..."
I don't know what caused this fever.
The family doctor was called back as soon as he got into the car to see the young lady of the Xie family.
He was quite capable. After examining the patient, he said, "It's not gastroenteritis. Young people have a healthy stomach. It looks like the high fever is caused by excessive shock and emotional instability. Take some medicine and observe for two days. If the high fever persists, you need to be sent to the hospital."
He prescribed some common medicines and gave some instructions.
This time I was finally able to leave, and I walked away very quickly.
Xie Xubai sat down on the bed and helped Huo Sijiao up slightly, leaning her against his chest. He took a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, but she spat it out again.
He looked down and saw that the person in his arms had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at him with some grievance and anger.
