Chapter 75 Wishing you a happy family
Bai Yuqing stood beside the mess, his white trouser legs stained with vegetable juice.
Despite this, he still looked as clear as a pine tree, with a calm look in his eyes.
He listened to Dai Shuyue's words quietly, restrained his sharpness, and deliberately lowered his tone, trying to soothe her emotions. He asked, "Can you let me explain?"
Dai Shuyue sneered, "What's there to explain?"
"Explain that this is just Zhou Yuncheng's personal prejudice. You don't think so. It has nothing to do with you?"
She said these words with disgust on her face.
"Bai Yuqing, my sister, we have given her the best things since she was little, and she only needs to accept them as a matter of course."
"Do you know why? It's because we want her to have the highest sense of worthiness, so that she doesn't have to prove to others that she is good, that she is worthy, or what kind of person she is."
"Now your mother thinks she's a pervert." At this point, Dai Shuyue rolled her eyes and muttered, "How ridiculous."
Then he continued, "If she were with you, wouldn't she have to humble herself and prove to your mother that she is a decent person?"
"Why should my sister sacrifice herself for you?"
"She doesn't need to prove anything." The light turned into two white spots in his inky eyes, and he blurted out the words without thinking, gently but firmly.
"Then prove it to me first. Bai Yuqing, I've seen too many wealthy families. If you have the final say in the family, how dare others say that about Xiaojiu? If you're not respected, no one will respect Xiaojiu."
Bai Yuqing spread his hands helplessly and was about to speak when his cell phone rang.
Just now, a phone call turned the carefully prepared meal into garbage. Now, there was another phone call. There was no note on the phone screen, just a string of phone numbers, but he knew that this was Zhou Yuncheng.
Dai Shuyue got angry when she saw the cell phone, and turned around and left without mercy.
Bai Yuqing looked at the phone number. He had memorized the 11 digits when he first received a call from this number. Occasionally, when he was distracted, the number would pop into his mind without warning.
When he was about to hang up, he picked up the phone.
***
Five minutes ago——
Ono was so frightened when he heard the intense noise on the phone that he could have stuffed an egg in his mouth.
It’s over… He seems to be in trouble again… What should I do?
The little hand tightly grasped the phone, holding it against her chest.
Ono remembered his parents' earnest teachings of "admitting mistakes when you are wrong" and ran to his mother's bedroom. He pushed open the door and jumped directly onto the bed, ignoring that his parents were hugging each other affectionately, and squeezed in between the two of them.
The little girl's face was filled with frustration, and she looked like she was about to cry but couldn't. She held her phone and bowed her head to admit her mistake, "Mom and Dad, I think I made a mistake again."
Zhou Yuncheng was about to scold him for entering the bedroom without knocking, but seeing his expression of apologizing, he could only let go of the big issue and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just..." He lowered his voice, lowered his head, and glanced at his mother from time to time, and said, "Call the teacher and tell him that you want to find him a girlfriend, and then..."
Zhuang Zenian and Zhou Yuncheng looked at each other and sat up straight.
"Did his girlfriend hear it?" Zhuang Zenian asked nervously.
"I don't know if it was that older sister, but it was a girl's voice anyway. She was cursing at the teacher angrily."
“…”
“…”
"Xiao Ye?!" Zhou Yuncheng felt that he was really old and needed oxygen.
What should I do if the gossips about someone behind their back are passed on to them by my children?
Zhou Yuncheng looked at her husband for help.
Zhuang Zenian looked at his wife's slightly bewildered eyes, sighed, took her phone and put it in her hand, "Call and explain it clearly."
She hesitated for a moment, but still called Bai Yuqing.
"Hello?"
"Um."
"I'm calling to apologize." As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Yuncheng's nervousness disappeared. She went straight to the point and stated her purpose directly.
"I shouldn't say things like that when you have a girlfriend. Would you mind giving me a minute to explain?"
Bai Yuqing thought that he had wanted to explain to Dai Shuyue just now, but was ruthlessly rejected.
Now facing Zhou Yuncheng, he still said "hmm".
Zhou Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her husband, and began to explain:
"I don't mean to blame Miss Jiang Er. You come from the countryside, and you don't have a clear understanding of the moral bottom line and the tendency of wealthy families to get bored with the old and fall in love with the new. I don't know Miss Jiang Er, but I have heard a little about her family traditions."
"The second young lady of the Jiang family's parents were in a family-arranged marriage, but it wasn't forced. It was the two of them who took the initiative to propose it to their family elders. The reason was simple: they both loved to play and didn't want to be bound by family, so they hit it off immediately. After marriage, they also pursued their own happiness."
"Her brother and sister are also..." Zhou Yuncheng wanted to say that they were rebellious, but immediately stopped and changed the subject, "They are used to being free and undisciplined. That's why I said that their family is not a quiet family."
"I think a child like you would be more suitable for a simple girl, so I wanted to introduce one to you, but Zenian persuaded me to stop."
After expressing her thoughts, she added, prompted by her husband's eyes, "I'm sorry, it was presumptuous of me to say this behind your back."
"Ms. Zhou." Bai Yuqing lowered his eyes and wiped the dirt splattered on the table with a tissue, mechanically repeating the wiping motion. He still called her Ms. Zhou, his tone calm, not seeming angry. "You said two things wrong just now."
"First, not all rural residents are kind and honest, and not all wealthy people are completely morally neutral. Don't you and your husband hold others to high moral standards? Presumably, your own morals are not bad."
Zhou Yuncheng frowned, feeling that his words sounded sarcastic.
"It's human nature to get tired of the old and love the new, and there's nothing wrong with that."
"Second, you should change the word order. Instead of 'I don't know Jinyue, but I know a little about her family,' you should say 'Although I know a little about her family, I know nothing about her personally.'"
"Besides," Bai Yuqing smiled silently, looking up through the window at the bright moon, his eyes as calm and peaceful as the moon itself, "you and I are just casual acquaintances, there's nothing between us. So, you have no right, no reason, to meddle in my feelings or comment on my girlfriend."
"Yuqing." Zhuang Zenian frowned and wanted to say something.
But Bai Yuqing interrupted him, "I think I've made myself clear, Ms. Zhou. I can no longer be Xiao Ye's tutor. I also believe that we won't have any more interactions in the future. If there's nothing urgent, please don't contact me again."
"I wish you and your family happiness."
After saying these five words, he hung up the phone.
Some loss, but also some relief.
Good, it's over like this.
His eyes moved to the mess, he rolled up his sleeves and found a broom.
First, he swept everything clean, then put toilet paper on the ground to soak up the soup.
Kneel on the ground, take the rag and wipe the floor carefully.
This is also his and Ajiu's home, it cannot be dirty.
He was too focused on what he was doing, as if he was trying to divert his current attention by doing housework and calm his panicked heart.
Until a pair of shoes appeared in his sight.
