Chapter 708 What is clear at a glance
Gu Xi was tired from crying and fell asleep in Xiao Yan's arms. When he woke up after a while, Xiao Yan was sitting beside him, reading a document.

Seeing that she woke up, he put the materials in his hand aside, asked her to sit up, and brought a wet tissue to help her wipe off the tears on her face.

"It looks much prettier that way."

He curled his lips into a smile, and stopped talking about Bai Murou with her. He changed the subject and said, "Jason has already made arrangements. After lunch, you can go for an examination."

Gu Xi was stunned for a while, and then remembered that Jason said earlier that he would arrange for her to have a system check, and he responded sullenly.

Xiao Yan knew that she was not feeling well at the moment, so he didn't say much. After all, it's useless for him to persuade her about this kind of thing.

Gu Xi is such an old person, she understands all the truths, and now the main thing is to give her some time to digest and adapt, and to think things through herself.

"Your hair is all messed up." He reached out and stroked her hair, patted her on the back and motioned her to sit up straight, "Sit down, I'll help you comb your hair."

As he spoke, he leaned over and took out a comb from the drawer, and started to comb her hair seriously.

Gu Xi turned his back to him, feeling Xiao Yan's fingers passing through her hair, lifting a lock of her hair and then combing it slowly with a comb, the movements were very light, as if treating something priceless like treasures.

She hugged her knees, buried her head in them, and said in a muffled voice, "When I was a child, my dad combed my hair."

"At that time, I was just in kindergarten, and my hair wasn't too long. Seeing other children wearing cute little braids, I was very envious. I pestered my dad to insist on growing long hair, but it was too long. Dad wouldn't give me that kind of hairstyle with a lot of patterns."

"Looking at those children who are sent to school by their mothers, I feel very envious. I always think, if I also have a mother, it would be great to have a mother who can make me beautiful braids."

Her voice was very low and muffled, Xiao Yan could hear the sadness and sadness in her tone.

He brushed her hair more lightly: "Isn't it nice to have a husband who can comb your hair himself now? I'll go online to check if there are any trendy hairstyles in a while."

Gu Xi knew that Xiao Yan was teasing her deliberately to make her relax, although she was still very depressed at the moment, but she couldn't help but chuckled softly when she heard what he said: "Yeah, so Think about it carefully, God is still fair, I can earn money by marrying you."

When she said this, she paused: "When I first saw the letter from my dad, I knew that my mother was not at all the same as the mother I imagined."

"But I never thought...she is actually Bai Murou."

"It's not surprising that Ji Shaoming knows, but... from the tone of your conversation with him before, you also know about this, right?"

Xiao Yan has been combing her hair patiently, and he didn't stop his movements when he was talking. When she asked about this, he didn't hide it, and said the truth: "I know, but I know it not long ago."

"Before, I tentatively asked you if you wanted to find your biological mother..."

Gu Xi suddenly said: "At that time, you already knew that she was... That's why you tested my attitude."

"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded and said, "But I think you are quite repulsive to her, so you didn't mention it again afterward."

"If you didn't hear it this time, I'll let Ji Shaoming continue to hide it." He looked at her back with pity in his eyes, "I know, if you found out, you must feel bad."

Gu Xi curled the corners of his lips bitterly, and unconsciously grabbed the quilt with his fingers: "But I just heard it..."

"Hey, Xiao Yan..."

"Ok?"

"Since she was willing to elope with my dad, she should have feelings for my dad, right?"

"Ah."

"Then why...why did he leave so easily?" She murmured, her tone was full of doubts, bewilderment, and, more importantly, fragility and unwillingness. I like her, and I haven't had another woman in so many years."

"I was so young at the time, I couldn't walk, I couldn't talk... No matter what, it was a piece of flesh that fell from her own body. How could she bear it, how could she be willing to..."

Her hands wrinkled the quilt: "I don't understand..."

"Ji Shao said that she is so gentle, she will tell stories to Ji Shao, weave grasshoppers for him, be patted on his back, stroke his head to put him to sleep." The more she said, the hoarse her voice became, "She is such a gentle mother in front of Ji Shao, why... I am obviously her biological daughter, how could she abandon me so cruelly?"

"Did I... really do something wrong? Why did I become the one who was abandoned..."

She really didn't understand, she was really unwilling, why Ji Shaoming could easily get what she had been expecting all this time, or it should belong to her, but Bai Murou gave all the tenderness to someone who didn't belong to her The child, but abandoned her alone... She was supposed to be loved.

"Xixi, it's not your fault. You were just a child at the time, so you don't have any right to choose." He helped her comb all her hair softly, then put the comb aside and let her turn around Come and face him.

"It was clearly written in the letter that Dad left you before. At that time... due to various reasons, the relationship between them was already very weak. Bai Murou left your dad and chose to be with Ji Shaoming. It was her own decision to leave her father."

"What she gave up was her marriage with your father. You are just an innocent victim. It's really not your fault."

She understands all these principles, she understands everything, but... she is not reconciled.

Gu Xi bit his lip, lowered his head and remained silent for a while.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a while, finally made up his mind, and said, "If you really want to ask for a reason, I can actually tell you."

Gu Xi raised his head in surprise, and looked at him in disbelief: "You...what do you mean by that?"

"Didn't the letter from Dad say that you were still young at the time, and you relied on Dad to support your family, and Bai Murou also insisted on going out to work, but she didn't want to be looked down upon by others." He held her hand tightly , said in a low voice, "You also know that she was originally born as a rich lady, and the most important thing is face."

"One is an unknown little carpenter, the other is the president of the group. There are two extremes, one is in the sky and the other is in the earth. For a poor woman, it is clear at a glance which one to choose."
