Chapter 293 Xiao Yu bumped into Zhao Yubai and nervously called Dad
In the huge living room, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Zhao Yubai looked at the man in front of him, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity raged in his heart.
He was sure he had seen this man before.
He tightened his grip on the suitcase, unable to suppress the emotions churning in his heart.
He couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "Sir, have we met somewhere?"
It’s so familiar!
If he hadn't seen it before, he wouldn't have had such a strong feeling.
Xiao Zheng's eyes suddenly turned red. He glanced away, his lips trembling and unable to speak.
In fact, he has a lot to say.
He wanted to ask Zhao Yubai how he had been doing these years.
How are you feeling?
Are you still blaming him?
But in the end he didn't utter a word.
The shadow of our last meeting still lingers in my mind.
Because of his appearance, Zhao Yubai suffered a severe stress reaction and injured himself in the hospital until he was covered with scars.
Xiao Zheng didn't dare to risk his health again. He pursed his lips tightly and tried hard to control the expression on his face so as not to reveal any clues.
Jiang Xianyue quickly stepped forward and stood between Zhao Yubai and Xiao Zheng: "Yubai, this is my friend. He came to see me today."
Zhao Ruiya reacted, grabbed Zhao Yubai's arm and said, "Your brother-in-law's friend just came back from Shanghai. You must have never seen him before. The guest is leaving, so let your brother-in-law see him off. Come upstairs with me to put the luggage."
Zhao Ruiya winked at Jiang Xianyue, asking him to take Xiao Zheng away as soon as possible.
Jiang Xianyue grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm and said deliberately, "You're going back to the Magic City tomorrow. We don't know when we'll meet again. I'll see you off. This way!"
Xiao Zheng followed him out of the villa without saying a word.
Zhao Yubai looked back, complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Have you really never seen it before?
But why does it feel so familiar to him?
The man's figure had disappeared from sight, but he was still not back to his senses.
"Yubai, let's go upstairs first."
Zhao Ruiya pulled Zhao Yubai's sleeve and took him upstairs.
"Sister, was that man just now my brother-in-law's friend?"
Zhao Yubai took the initiative to ask about Xiao Zheng, which made Zhao Ruiya frightened.
Fearing that it would evoke Zhao Yubai's memories, she didn't dare to say too much and said vaguely, "I heard he was a classmate of your brother-in-law, but I'm not very familiar with him. He has been living in the Magic City and only comes to Kyoto occasionally. Now, he's leaving again."
Zhao Yubai nodded thoughtfully.
Noticing Zhao Ruiya's eyes were red and swollen, he hurriedly asked, "Sister, what's wrong with your eyes? Did you cry?"
Zhao Ruiya's eyes flashed with panic: "No... I'm just in a bad mood."
Zhao Yubai: "What happened?"
"Nothing special, probably menopause."
This was the only excuse Zhao Ruiya could think of.
She grabbed Zhao Yubai's arm and said, "Put down your luggage first. You must be tired after such a long flight! Have a good rest. I'll ask the servants to prepare lunch."
"sister!"
Zhao Yubai called Zhao Ruiya: "It's troublesome to eat at home, let's go out to eat! Call Yunsheng and have dinner together."
Zhao Ruiya's expression changed again, "No... no need!"
"Sister, did you have a fight with Yun Sheng?"
Zhao Yubai realized that his sister's mood changes were related to his nephew, and that there must be a conflict between mother and son.
Zhao Ruiya was flustered and stammered: "I...I and him...Hey! This kid always makes me angry, don't mention him."
She quickly changed the subject: "I don't want to eat at home, so let your brother-in-law drive. Let's go out to eat. It's just the three of us today, don't invite anyone else."
Zhao Ruiya asked Zhao Yubai to put the luggage down first, and she went downstairs to find Jiang Xianyue who had just returned from outside.
Pulling her husband into the small living room, she lowered her voice and said, "Have you told Xiao Zheng? Tell him to stay away from Yubai. If Yubai recognizes him, it will be troublesome."
Jiang Xianyue: "Wife, I have already told him. Xiao Zheng said he will stay at home these days and will not go out casually. Yubai doesn't know his home, so there is definitely no chance to meet him."
Zhao Ruiya: "And Xiao Yu, don't let him see Yu Bai."
Jiang Xianyue: "Yubai didn't know she had a child, and when she saw Xiao Yu, she wouldn't have thought he was her son."
Zhao Ruiya said anxiously, "Yubai doesn't know, but Xiao Yu does. Xiao Yu is as stubborn as a cow when he gets angry. What if he wants to come forward and claim his relatives?"
Jiang Xianyue: "That shouldn't be the case!"
Zhao Ruiya hit him and said, "Hurry up and call Jiang Yunsheng and tell him to keep an eye on Xiao Yu. Stay home and don't go out for the time being."
Jiang Xianyue called Jiang Yunsheng to explain the situation.
Jiang Yunsheng was shocked: "Dad, why is my uncle back?"
Jiang Xianyue stood in the garden and said in a low voice, "I heard that he came to Kyoto to follow up on the project. You and Xiao Yu should not go home for the next few days. Especially Xiao Yu, tell him to stay in the apartment and not show up casually. I have already made an agreement with Xiao Zheng, and he has also been staying at home recently."
"Dad, I understand."
After ending the call, Jiang Yunsheng did not tell others that Zhao Yubai had returned.
If Xiao Yu asked to see Zhao Yubai, he really had no way to refuse, so he simply kept it secret.
Zhao Yubai stayed in the Jiang family villa for two days and always felt that the atmosphere at home was not right.
When he asked about Jiang Yunsheng, Zhao Ruiya and Jiang Xianyue deliberately changed the subject and did not mention anything about their son.
After much thought, Zhao Yubai felt that Jiang Yunsheng must have had a conflict with his family.
He found an excuse to leave Jiang's house and took a taxi to Jiang Yunsheng's residence.
Zhao Yubai rang the doorbell and soon the door opened from the inside.
A tall figure appeared before my eyes.
The person who opened the door was a strange man with handsome appearance and extraordinary temperament.
Zhao Yubai was stunned, thinking he had knocked on the wrong door.
"Excuse me! Is this Jiang Yunsheng's home? Or am I in the wrong place?"
The moment he saw Zhao Yubai, Xiao Yu's expression froze and he took a long time to come back to his senses.
He recognized Zhao Yubai at a glance; it was the man in the photo.
It's his father
Xiao Yu's eyes were red and he tried hard to hold back his tears.
Zhao Yubai noticed that his expression was wrong, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
What's wrong with this kid?
"I'm sorry! It seems I've come to the wrong place."
Zhao Yubai took a step back and was about to turn around and leave when a low, hoarse voice came over: "This is Jiang Yunsheng's house."
"I thought I misplaced it."
Zhao Yubai looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Are you Yun Sheng's friend?"
Xiao Yu: "I'm his boyfriend."
Zhao Yubai's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly smiled and said, "Yun Sheng never told me about this."
Xiao Yu invited him in and brought him slippers: "Dad... no, uncle..."
He couldn't help but say that name, then realized he had said something wrong and hurriedly changed his words, his expression flustered and embarrassed.
Zhao Yubai smiled brightly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not Yun Sheng's father, I'm his uncle."
Xiao Yu curled his lips and said nothing.
His mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to deal with the situation.
Jiang Yunsheng came out of the study and was stunned when he saw Zhao Yubai suddenly appear.
"Uncle, you...why are you here?"
Jiang Yunsheng's face was pale, and he stood there at a loss, looking very abnormal.
Zhao Yubai thought that her boyfriend was at home because of her elders, so she acted panicked.
He curled his lips: "Yun Sheng, I came to see you. You don't have to be so nervous. I won't say anything in front of my sister."
Jiang Yunsheng looked at Xiao Yu, his heart in turmoil.
Xiao Yu shook his head at him, indicating that he was not talking nonsense.
Jiang Yunsheng calmed himself down, walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle, why did you come back so suddenly? Come and sit down!"
Zhao Yubai sat on the sofa, looking at the two younger generations who were still stiff beside him, a smile flashed in his eyes: "You should sit down too, don't stand."
Jiang Yunsheng curled his lips and sat stiffly on the sofa.
"I'll make some tea."
Xiao Yu walked into the kitchen with his head down, and his eyes turned red as soon as he stood still.
Jiang Yunsheng looked in the direction he left, and his heart skipped a beat.
My biological father is right in front of me, but I have to pretend to be a stranger to him.
How could Xiao Yu bear it?
Zhao Yubai noticed that Jiang Yunsheng was absent-minded, and looked in the direction his gaze was directed.
Seeing the tall figure in the kitchen, he raised the corners of his lips: "Yun Sheng, your boyfriend is quite handsome."
"Yes... yes, he's quite handsome."
Jiang Yunsheng didn't want the topic to stay on Xiao Yu, so he deliberately changed the subject: "Uncle, why did you come back so suddenly?"
They were not mentally prepared at all.
The moment Jiang Yunsheng saw Zhao Yubai, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu was still calm and did not come up to claim his relationship, which gave them some time to buffer.
Zhao Yubai: "I changed jobs. Actually, I'm tired of living abroad and want to go back to China."
Jiang Yunsheng: "How long do you plan to stay in the country?"
Zhao Yubai: "Once this project is over, I will apply to be transferred back to China."
Jiang Yunsheng's expression froze, "Return... return to China..."
Zhao Yubai smiled and teased: "Looking at your expression, do you mean you don't welcome me back to China?"
Jiang Yunsheng shook his head quickly: "No... no. We are all very happy that you can return to China."
Xiao Yu made tea and came out of the kitchen carrying the tea tray.
He handed Zhao Yubai a cup of tea: "Uncle, please have some tea."
The word "uncle" made Jiang Yunsheng feel extremely uncomfortable. The sour emotion rushed into his eyes, making them red.
He quickly looked away, trying hard to suppress his turbulent emotions and calm himself down as much as possible.
There was no way he could let his uncle notice anything unusual.
Jiang Yunsheng sighed softly and stood up from the sofa: "Uncle, I'm going to the bathroom."
Not daring to look at Zhao Yubai's expression, he quickly ran into the bathroom.
After the door closed, Jiang Yunsheng could no longer hold on. He grabbed the edge of the sink tightly and his whole body was shaking.
Whenever he saw Zhao Yubai, he would think of what his uncle had experienced, and he couldn't control his emotions.
Jiang Yunsheng turned on the faucet and let the water come out to wash his face.
He didn't come out until he suppressed the tears.
In the living room,
Zhao Yubai looked at Xiao Yu and felt that the child looked somewhat familiar.
Where have you seen me before?
Suddenly, another awkward scene appeared before his eyes, and he suddenly realized: "Child, you...is your father..."
He didn't know the name of the man he saw yesterday, so he could only describe him as best he could: "Did your father go to Yunsheng's house yesterday? I met him. He is a good friend of Yunsheng's father, right? You and your father look so much alike."
Xiao Yu was horrified: "You saw my father?"
