Chapter 560 The Young Man is My White Moonlight (19)
"Big sister, you really should take good care of Chu Xu. He will take over the Chu family business in the future. How can he act on impulse like this? It seems that he will become the pillar of the Chu family..." Ying Xinxin was still complaining. Chu's mother laughed and joked with her, but it went in one ear and out the other.
Li Ling could see the reaction of her aunt, and she felt even more sad.
Her mother always thought that she had been taken care of by her brother during the three years she was abroad. In fact, except for having enough food and clothing, she did not have a good life at all. Her brother found a girl in the same class for her to share the rent, and he no longer cared about her. Sometimes when she went to see her brother, his attitude was neither hot nor cold, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Lingling, I see that you look a little unwell. Do you want to go to the bathroom to freshen up?" Chu's mother gently put her hand on her shoulder. Li Ling came back to her senses from the past and smiled palely, "Okay."
"Do you want your mother to go with you?" Ying Xinxin felt that something was wrong with her daughter, but she blamed it all on Chu Xu for abandoning her daughter at the airport.
Li Ling shook her head and smiled, "Mom, I'm a big kid. No need."
"My dear daughter, she became like this because her brother ignored her. It's so pitiful." Ying Xinxin touched her thigh and let out the turbid air in her heart. It seems that as an elder, she has to find a chance to have a good talk with Chu Xu.
At the same time, she was also glad that she didn't tell her second sister Ying Haohao that Chu Xu and his daughter were back today. Otherwise, the joke of their family would be seen by her second sister and her family.
Upstairs, in Chu Xu's room.
Shi Yi sat quietly on his bed, her hand unconsciously fiddling with the silver ring on her little finger. It can be seen that she really likes this ring.
"Don't you regret accepting this gift?" Chu Xu teased her.
Shi Yi calmly raised her head and looked at him, "You gave it to me, so it's mine."
This ring gave her a special and indescribable feeling. It seemed that she and this ring had some kind of innate fate.
"I'm not going to steal yours." Chu Xu put his hands behind his head and looked at the garden downstairs.
He liked one thing about Xu Shiyi, that is, she never talked much, would not tell you how to be a person, nor would she warn you not to do anything. She seemed to be very sober all the time. In addition, there was a kind of calmness that always stayed out of things.
The fiery red sun gradually set, and Chu Xu's door was knocked.
"It's time for dinner." It was Chu's mother.
"Okay." Chu Xu responded, looked at Shi Yi, tilted his head, and said, "Let's go."
The door opened, and Chu's mother looked at her son and walked out. Shi Yi followed closely behind him, but he lagged behind and held Shi Yi's hand.
The voice in her heart told her: her son Chu Xu has actually never changed. Whoever he likes, he will do his best to be good to them. And once he doesn't like them, he really doesn't like them.
But, how should he define this time he likes? There were new wrinkles between her brows.
After returning from the church, Mrs. Chu hugged her eldest grandson and kept muttering, "You bad guy, you have been wandering abroad and you are reluctant to come back to see grandma. Grandma is almost missing you to death."
Ying Xinxin curled her lips. Although she has come to the Chu family many times, whenever Mrs. Chu sees her grandson Chu Xu, she always has this disgusting reaction, which makes her, a junior, feel a little uncomfortable. She looked at her eldest sister again. Her eldest sister was smiling at this moment, like a waiter in a restaurant. She sighed silently in her heart. It is not easy to be a daughter-in-law in a big family. It is rare
for Mrs. Chu to see her eldest grandson, so naturally she wants Chu Xu to sit next to her. Chu Xu did not shy away and directly took Shi Yi's hand and sat next to him. Shi Yi kept his head down the whole time and did not look at anyone, but the meal was still tormenting. Although she did not look at others, she could not stop others from looking at her.
With Old Lady Chu at the table, Ying Xinxin naturally didn't dare to say much. Li Ling was also a little afraid of this stern old lady. She would occasionally glance at Shi Yi and his brother, but she would always stare at the rice in her bowl and count it.
The dishes of the Chu family have always been light, and she likes to eat heavier food, so the food on the table is not very suitable for her appetite.
Shi Yi is not picky about food, and eats whatever is available. Chu Xu seemed to have discovered this, and he was happy to be the porter of the food. He would put a little bit of each dish on her plate, and soon the food in front of her was as high as a small mountain.
Old Lady Chu hit him on the leg under the table without anyone's knowledge, signaling him to stop, but he went even further and filled his own plate with food and pushed it in front of Shi Yi.
Facing the two small mountains, Shi Yi didn't hesitate, and he finished eating with his chopsticks in a short while.
Mother Chu looked at her frail little body, then at the two empty plates, and took a breath unconsciously. She had always thought that Shiyi was so thin because she didn't like to eat, but it turned out that she was a big eater and didn't gain weight even if she ate a lot.
She looked at the pitiful green vegetables on her plate, and suddenly felt the malice of age towards her. Since she turned thirty, she really gained weight even by drinking water, and she had signed up for a lot of beauty classes to keep her current weight under control.
"Go upstairs and rest after dinner. You must be tired after flying back from abroad." Old Mrs. Chu had said so, who in the family dared to object.
Before dinner, Ying Xinxin wanted to take her daughter away after she had a tantrum, but when she saw the orphan Xu Shiyi being so valued by Chu Xu at the dinner table, she felt uncomfortable, and she was determined to let her daughter Li Ling stay here and try her best. She thought that Li Ling grew up with Chu Xu after all, and the affection between the two of them was incomparable to anyone else. The reason why the two of them were like this might be because of some conflict, and it would be fine if they waited for time to resolve it.
Li Ling thought that when eating, her brother picked up some food for Xu Shiyi on purpose to show her, in order to tell her not to get close to him again. But she still felt uncomfortable, especially uncomfortable, as if a knife was cutting her. If Chu's mother knew that she was thinking this way, she would definitely advise her not to be so self-indulgent.
After dinner, Chu Xu went upstairs alone, and she deliberately stopped Shiyi. Of course, the name was still nice, she was inviting her sister to go for a walk in the garden together.
Chu's mother frowned, and her intuition told her that it would not be that simple. But as an elder, it was not easy for her to interfere in the children's affairs, so she simply turned a blind eye and pretended to know nothing.
Shiyi had not been in contact with Li Ling for a long time, and readily agreed. At the same time, he unconsciously turned the silver ring in his hand, and inexplicably felt a little expectation for the upcoming conversation.
