24 Thoughts
◎Rejection is also a way of communication◎
"Your great-grandfather needs your company more." Lu Lin adjusted her little hat.
The old man's blood pressure would rise when he saw him, and he would only feel good when he saw his great-granddaughter, so he didn't bother him.
"Grandpa cares about you too. Family members need to learn to communicate. Your mouth is for speaking, and you're not mute."
Bai Xia was too lazy to continue talking to him, as it was too late. She turned around and walked out of the villa with the butler.
Looking at the girl's receding back, Lu Lin's expression gradually became unclear.
The sun is very strong today, but there are still many people in the amusement park. Bai Xia saw the heroine and Song Xun at the door at a glance. Well, the male supporting role and the heroine didn’t even have a honeymoon trip, so they can still have a good time today.
"Mother!"
As soon as she got out of the car, she ran towards the heroine. Bai Ruanwen stepped forward and hugged her daughter, her eyes filled with unwavering tenderness. "Xia Xia has grown taller. Mommy can't hold her anymore."
Bai Xia hugged her neck and pouted, "Mom, are you saying I've gained weight?"
Looking at her daughter's palm-sized face, Bai Ruanwen couldn't help but give her a kiss. "She's not fat, not fat. Mommy can't hold her anymore. How about letting Uncle Song hold her?"
Knowing that the heroine was trying to bring her closer to the male supporting role, Bai Xia did not refuse, but opened her arms towards Song Xun. She did not have much opinion on the male supporting role. Apart from his somewhat stubborn personality, she could not find any fault with him in other aspects.
Song Xun immediately picked up the girl, holding Bai Ruanwen's hand with one hand, with a smile on her face, "Mom's hands are sore from drawing recently, so I can't hold Xia Xia anymore. I'm not saying Xia Xia is fat."
"But Uncle Song has gained weight. You have to maintain your figure, otherwise you won't be handsome anymore." Bai Xia said with his head tilted.
Hearing this, Song Xun couldn't help but cough lightly. Ruan Wen had been busy until midnight recently, and he was worried that she was hungry, so he brought her some food. However, Ruan Wen was so busy that she only ate a little, so he gave her the rest.
However, Xia Xia's words gave him a warning that he must be self-disciplined, otherwise what would it look like if he stood next to Ruan Wen in the future.
"Xia Xia needs to study more with Uncle Song and gain some weight so that she can grow taller." Bai Ruanwen pinched her little face.
Bai Xia was puzzled. "Uncle Song is so old now, will he still grow taller?"
Bai Ruanwen was stunned, forgetting that his daughter had always had clear logic. However, he still patiently explained, "It is also necessary for adults to eat healthily. You are still young, and your health is the most important thing."
Bai Xia nodded, "I understand. I will eat well."
The three of them entered the park, chatting and laughing. Just by the roadside, a Maybach's window slowly lowered. Looking at the scene in the distance, a trace of anger and unwillingness flashed in the man's eyes.
After a long time, he finally closed his eyes.
"go back."
The driver quickly started the car, not daring to breathe.
The sun was very strong in the amusement park, and Bai Xia didn't dare to play any exciting games, so she could only ride some carousels. However, she found that Song Xun was also afraid of heights. When he heard the heroine say that she wanted to go play the bungee jumping machine, his eyes suddenly changed.
In the end, she and Song Xun were downstairs, watching the heroine go to play on the bungee jumping machine alone. Unlike her gentle and quiet image, the heroine has always been lively, but her family has undergone a sudden change, so she has gradually had to become introverted and quiet.
After playing for a whole morning, because the sun was too strong, Bai Ruanwen was afraid that she would get heatstroke, so she asked the housekeeper to take her back.
No one was at home for lunch. Lu Jinnian went out fishing with an old friend. Lu Shuo huddled in the room, not knowing what to do. Bai Xia ate noodles with gravy by herself. The chef was really good. Since the salary increase, everyone was smiling every day, unlike before when they were always cautious.
They work according to the salary. This family is nervous every day. You can imagine how difficult it is to serve them.
Just as she finished her meal and was about to ride her scooter for a spin, she saw a Porsche parked at the door and a pair of beige high heels stepped out. Xu Yawen took off her sunglasses, looked around, and suddenly saw the girl on the pink scooter. Her originally arrogant expression instantly softened.
So he waved at her and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Yawen's driver was also surprised. The eldest lady usually hated children the most, let alone Miss Bai's child, but he was apparently so gentle.
Miss Bai rode over on her scooter and winked. "We just finished eating. Sister, are you here to look for Lu Lin? He's still playing on the computer. Shall I go get him for you?"
The main reason is that no one else can persuade him because the male protagonist has always been so arrogant.
Xu Yawen handed her a small bag and said, "Thank you, Xia Xia. This is a gift for you. See if you like it."
The female supporting characters all understand the ways of the world better than the male protagonist. Bai Xia took the bag, took out a small box from it, opened it and saw an exquisite diamond hairpin. "Thank you, sister, it's very beautiful, but my mother told me not to take other people's things."
She politely returned the bag. Xu Yawen pinched her face and said, "It's okay. Just don't tell your mother. This is our little secret."
Bai Xia looked at the butler behind her and finally accepted it. The female supporting character probably wanted to get closer to her, and if she refused, she would seem distant.
"Then I'll go get him down for you."
She ran back into the villa with her short legs, then went to the second floor and knocked on the study door, but no one opened it. After about half a minute, the door was finally opened. Lu Lin glanced at the bag in her hand and asked, "Is this from your mother?"
The smell of alcohol in the study was so strong that Bai Xia found it hard to ignore it. She didn't know what was wrong with the male protagonist. He drank all the time. Could it be that the butler told him that they were going to the amusement park today, so he was angry again.
I don't know why he gets angry so easily, but thankfully, he just drinks alone instead of rushing into the amusement park and punching the male supporting actor.
"This is a gift Sister Xu gave me. If you don't like her, you should make it clear. Rejection is also a way of communication. If you don't communicate with her, how can she know what you think? You should be decisive in what you do, otherwise what's the difference between you and a scumbag?" She frowned.
The male protagonist is too self-centered, as if he doesn't have a mouth. He is too lazy to open his mouth no matter whether it is good or bad, as if explaining will kill someone.
If he could change these bad habits, Bai Xia would definitely not stop him from being with other people. But now he has such a bad temper that he is not suitable for marriage at all. Forcing them to be together would only waste their youth. It would be better to make it clear all at once and not leave any thoughts to the female supporting character.
Lu Lin was silent for a while, no one knew what he was thinking, but he finally walked out of the study.
As soon as Xu Yawen sat down, the servant brought her coffee, as if he still remembered her taste. She was in a good mood and rarely said thank you.
It wasn't until she heard footsteps that she turned around. The moment she saw Lu Lin, her eyes softened. She couldn't help but stand up and smile, "I'm sorry for coming to visit without saying hello. It's just that I've been back home for a long time and have been wanting to have dinner with you, but you seemed very busy."
Lu Lin walked straight over and sat down opposite him, rubbing his swollen forehead. He said in a cold voice, "Let's talk about it when we have time."
After not seeing each other for so many years, the man seemed to have matured a lot, his features still stern and three-dimensional. Xu Yawen took a sip of coffee and lowered her eyes to block out the flash of color. "Xia Xia is a very cute child. I didn't expect you to be so good at raising children."
Lu Lin suddenly glanced at her and said, "It's not me, it's Ruan Wen."
Their eyes met, and Xu Yawen paused for a moment before pretending to smile calmly. "I heard Ruan Wen and Song Xun are married. Xia Xia is still young, and she should have her mother to take care of her. You don't have to dwell on the past anymore. You should look forward and prioritize your child's growth."
Lu Lin fell silent. "Yawen, I just treat you as a friend."
He didn't have many memories of Xu Yawen. The past time was always spent in class. Every time, she would stand behind him and look at him. He had encountered this kind of look many times since he was a child, and he had lost the desire to explain it one by one.
But Ruan Wen is different. Love is slow, and by the time he understands it, it seems to be too late.
"Any relationship starts as friends. I know your concerns. I like Xia Xia very much and will definitely take care of her as my own child in the future." Xu Yawen's palms tightened.
She knew it was too abrupt to say this, but she had endured it for ten years, only to find out that he and Bai Ruanwen had a child. If she had expressed it earlier, would everything have been different?
"I only love Ruan Wen. You should choose someone better, not me." Lu Lin frowned slightly.
Hearing the man's cold words, Xu Yawen paused for a moment and her eyes unconsciously turned red. She had never been so humble in front of him in her life, but even though she knew what the outcome would be, she still didn't give up.
But she really didn't want to give up like this.
"I see."
She suddenly stood up, holding back her tears, and looked at the man opposite her, "Can I... hug you?"
Just treat it as your childhood self throughout the year.
Lu Lin didn't say anything. Seeing this, Xu Yawen chuckled, then picked up her bag and turned to leave.
Bai Xia was squatting in the corridor on the second floor. She didn't know what to say when she saw this scene. Sadness is temporary, but pain is lifelong. Instead of marrying the male protagonist and suffering from cold violence every day, it is better to choose a brighter life.
Although the other party did a lot of bad things in the original text, it has not happened yet. It would be best to prevent the other party from turning evil, otherwise she and the heroine will be miserable.
As for the male protagonist, don't even think about expecting him to be gentle with women. It's not easy for him to speak so politely today. He still needs to change his arrogant and conceited habits in the future, otherwise he is definitely not suitable for marriage.
"Is your father going to find you a stepmother?"
Suddenly, a sound came from behind, and Bai Xia was startled. When she turned around, she saw Lu Shuo standing behind her, staring at the first floor curiously.
"Do you know what the most irresponsible thing a person can do is?" she smiled.
Lu Shuo thought about it seriously, "Lying and fighting?"
“…”
Bai Xia stared at him seriously. "This is a personality issue. Adults being irresponsible means getting married and having children recklessly. This not only delays others, but also affects future generations. So, if you meet someone you like in the future, you must treat them well. Don't bully them for no reason. This is the behavior of a scumbag."
Hearing this, Lu Shuo fell into deep thought. "When your father gets married, will he give you a brother or sister? My mother said that if there are too many people in the family, grandpa will give his property to others, and then I will be left with nothing."
