Three Hundred and Sixty-Four Love Rival (2)
In the evening, she called Shen Min and told her that she was going back to see Lan's family. Although she now calls Mrs. Lanting 'mom', no matter what, Shen Min is still her mother as before.
After hearing what she said, Shen Min felt somewhat lonely. However, she is the biological daughter of Mrs. Lanting and Bai Qingrang.
"Go ahead. Since you are a member of the family, you will have to recognize him sooner or later."
Xia Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and stood on the terrace, looking out the window at the dark sky.
"It's getting cold now, please wear more clothes."
"I know. So are you over there."
"I'll take the kids back to see you after the Chinese New Year." She didn't dare to say anything about Dabai, for fear that she would worry, so she kept running around.
"Shouldn't we spend the New Year at the Bai family or the Lan family this year?" Shen Min thought for her sake.
Xia Xingchen said: "Run away from both sides. We can't let you celebrate the New Year alone in Liangcheng."
Lonely, I feel quite uncomfortable when I think about it.
Shen Min was naturally eager for her to come over to celebrate the New Year, so he didn't say anything. Then he remembered something and said, "Two days ago, your dad suddenly came over."
Xia Xingchen was not surprised, "I have long seen that he still has some lingering feelings for you. Now that Li Ling has reached such an ending, I am afraid that he will realize that you were better in the beginning."
Shen Min sighed, "What's the use of realizing it now? After decades, there's nothing you can get back."
Although Shen Min is gentle, he is also stubborn. When he was young, he didn't forgive Xia Guopeng. Now at this age, there is no forgiveness.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Xingchen lay on the bed, somewhat tossing and turning. Thinking of the relationship that both parents have missed for more than 20 years, and then thinking of myself and Bai Yeqing, I can't help but feel a little depressed. She didn't know if there would be a day that they missed...
Not to mention 20 years, just two years is cruel to a couple who love each other deeply.
……………………
The next day.
After work, Xia Xingchen came out of the office,
I saw a black luxury car parked at the door. Under the cold wind, Mrs. Lanting stood outside the car wearing an elegant coat.
The dignitaries who had just left Baiyu Palace recognized Mrs. Lanting as soon as they saw her and stepped forward one after another.
"Madam, why haven't I heard that you have returned to China?"
Mrs. Lanting smiled and shook hands with them, "I came back for personal matters, a secret itinerary."
"Who do you want to see when you come here today?"
"Well, I'm waiting for someone. You're busy with your business, don't worry about me."
"It's Mrs. Lanting!" Colleagues beside Xia Xingchen also exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen her in person!"
"She's so thin! She looks like she'll collapse if the wind blows."
"I heard that Madam is not in very good health and is seriously ill. She can only live for a few years now."
Colleagues whispered in lowered voices, but Xia Xingchen heard them clearly. That last sentence stung her heart a little. She knew what this man said was true. She had seen her condition last time, but she still couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
She was very, very displeased with that statement!
That look made others look puzzled and stare back. However, she had no intention of getting into any more entanglements with the other party. She just walked over quickly, ignoring the surprised looks in other people's eyes, and reached Mrs. Lanting's side all the way.
He took off his scarf and put it around his wife's neck as naturally as possible, "It's so cold, why did you personally-->>
coming? "
As soon as her neck felt warm, Mrs. Lanting no longer felt cold when she saw her daughter again.
He held her hand with a loving look on his face, "I just happened to be here for a while. I thought you were working in the office now, so I came to pick you up."
"Get in the car quickly. It's cold outside. You'll catch a cold if you stand for a while."
Mrs. Lanting nodded, nodded slightly to the people next to her, and got into the car. Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Xingchen, surprised and surprised, all speculating on her identity. How could an ordinary employee win the favor of Mrs. Lanting and come to pick her up in person?
Xia Xingchen just pretended that he couldn't understand everyone's eyes, smiled at them, nodded, and got into the car.
……………………
Lan family.
The car drove all the way to Lan's house.
The scenery of Lan's house is similar to that of the old house. It can be seen that the Lan family and his wife are also people who admire antiques.
The car parked in front of the villa, and the Lan family had already greeted them.
Lan Zhan and his wife Yun Xiang had been waiting outside. As soon as the car stopped, Yun Xiang went down the steps to greet him.
Lan Ting got out of the car first. Yun Xiang looked over and asked, "Are you back?"
"Yes." Lan Ting nodded, also happy, and both of them felt beaming with joy.
Yun Xiang tilted his head and saw Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen was sitting inside and nodded slightly to Yun Xiang. Yun wanted to look at her and immediately praised: "This girl is up to you, she's really pretty. Come on, come out quickly, let's go in quickly, it's freezing outside."
Xia Xingchen got out of the car and Lan Ting said, "Just call me aunt."
She obediently called 'aunt'.
Just when he stood firm next to Lan Ting, he heard a deep voice, "Why is it you?!"
In fact, I had expected it.
Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "Mr. Lan."
"My name is Mr. Lan! I have to call him uncle." Yun Xiang answered.
Lan Zhan strode down the steps as if he couldn't believe what he saw. From far to near, a pair of eyes stared straight at Xia Xingchen, as if they wanted to penetrate her whole body. Xia Xingchen knew that this day was unavoidable, so he was mentally prepared before coming, so he didn't hide away, and simply raised his head and looked at Lan Zhan.
When he saw it clearly, Lan Zhan took a breath. He looked at Xia Xingchen and then at Lanting. There are all kinds of emotions in that look.
Although Yun Xiang didn't know what was going on, she also noticed that something was wrong with her husband's mood. Moreover, he looks quite fierce.
Yun Xiang hurriedly pulled him and lowered his voice, "You acted like this for the first time when I came in. You want to scare your niece into not coming in again, right?"
"Sister, please make it clear, this girl..." Lan Zhan glanced again, no, he stared at Xia Xingchen. His eyes were serious and he pointed his finger at her, "Is she really the daughter of you and the second master of the Bai family?!"
Lan Ting didn't say anything. He seemed to be quite dissatisfied with Lan Zhan's attitude. He stared back at him, his face already a little unsightly.
Yun Xiang felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he answered, "What unnecessary questions are you asking? My sister has already said it, so I can still lie to you."
"What do you know? Just step aside!" Lan Zhan scolded his wife. Then, he raised his voice again, "Then you also know that she and the president..."
When he said this, he was stunned by Lan Ting's eyes.
Lan Ting looked at his younger brother, "My daughter is my daughter. She is here today to visit her uncle and aunt. Are you going to let us, mother and daughter, stand outside when we are here for the first time?"
