Chapter 43: 043
Pretend, who wouldn't?
Shu Xin smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Rou, where is my dad?"
Jiang Tingrou walked toward the living room, holding Shu Xin's arm affectionately, "Your father is upstairs in the study, you sit down and rest first, I'll call him." Then she turned and told Shu Mengling, "Ling'er, go get your sister a glass of water .”
Shu Mengling nodded meekly, "Understood." Then she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
All this seems very warm, but it gives Shu Xin a feeling that Jiang Tingrou and Shu Mengling are the hosts, and she is just a guest being entertained.
Shu Xin grabbed Jiang Tingrou who was about to go upstairs, "Aunt Rou, don't bother you to make a trip, I just go up and find my dad."
Jiang Tingrou was slightly taken aback, she always felt that there was a slight alienation in Shu Xin's words, but there was a smile in her eyes, "Then you go, and call your dad to come down for dinner."
"it is good."
Jiang Tingrou watched Shu Xin's figure disappear at the stairs, turned around to go to the kitchen, just in time Shu Mengling came out with water.
Jiang Tingrou hastily pulled Shu Mengling aside, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know when your dad will reconcile with Xin'er?"
Shu Mengling also looked blank, "I still plan to ask you."
Jiang Tingrou's face became a little serious, "Your dad came back today with a happy smile, I asked him what happened, he just smiled and said happy event, and said that he would wait for Xin'er to come back, and then told Uncle Qiu to pick up Xin'er at school. Yesterday your father saw Xin'er in the hospital and didn't let me say hello to her, but today he asked her to go home for dinner, that's too wrong."
Shu Mengling's eyes flashed a ruthlessness that didn't belong to her age, "Mom, we finally drove Shu Xin out of Shu's house, but we can't just let her come back like this. A heart that matches and doesn't need money, except for the one on Shu Xin, Hard to find."
"I know what you said, but we don't know what's going on now, so how do we deal with her?"
Shu Mengling was silent for a few seconds, and asked: "You said that Shu Xin's mother didn't die of bleeding, but she left her husband and son with another man, right?"
Jiang Tingrou didn't understand why Shu Mengling suddenly asked about this old story that Shu Youkang had been hiding, but she nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Shu Mengling's eyes were full of calculations, "20 years ago, the woman my father loved abandoned him for a man, and 20 years later, Shu Xin, who was loved by my father, abandoned him for the sake of a man. As long as I make good use of Xiao Ruize's trump card, Shu Xin will run away." out of the palm of my hand, and Dad will never forgive Shu Xin for abandoning him for a man."
Jiang Tingrou nodded, and proudly stroked Shu Mengling's hair, "My baby girl is still smart."
...
Shu Xin came to the study and gently opened the door. Shu Youkang was sitting at the desk looking down at the documents, with a cigarette between his right fingers, and the bluish-white smoke rose slowly from between his fingers.
Because she lowered her head, Shu Xin could see a little white hair on the top of Shu Youkang's head, and a feeling of sourness came to her heart instantly, is her father actually getting old?
"dad."
Hearing the sound, Shu Youkang raised his head and saw Shu Xin, his eyes were complicated for a moment, "Here you are?"
"Um."
Shu Youkang pointed to the chair opposite the desk, "Sit down."
"Okay." Shu Xin sat down opposite Shu Youkang. She obviously wanted to say a lot to him, but she didn't know where to start. Looking at the obvious forehead lines on his forehead and the deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, she stared at her. His eyes were wet in an instant, "Did you go to the hospital yesterday for a check-up, are you okay?"
