Chapter 57
"Mommy, don't we go in?"
Ruan Anxi was full of complicated thoughts, and it wasn't until Xiao Douding reminded her that she was left behind.
A few steps ahead, Shi Yan's back seemed to be able to completely block the light and darkness of the entire house, leaving only a safe space for their mother and daughter.
Since you can't refuse, you have to face it.
As for the result...
Ruan Anxi took a deep breath to settle her mind, and followed her up.
The old lady had obviously been waiting for a long time. Seeing that the three of them entered the door and stood up to greet them, Ruan Anxi naturally couldn't let Xiaobei suffer like this, so she quickly walked a few steps to the old lady's side: "Grandma, sit down quickly, Xiaobei calls for someone. "
Xiao Douding was not afraid of strangers since he was a child, and he was told to do so on the way here, so he naturally said obediently: "Grandma--"
The three words in a milky voice made the old lady wrinkle her face with a smile. She stretched out her hand and hugged Xiao Douding, her face full of love: "Oh, let me see my grandson...why is he so cute? !"
Seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to Xiao Bei's identity, Ruan Anxi breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously glanced at Shi Yan beside him, only to find that the other party was also looking at Xiao Bei with a smile.
It's rare to see such a gentle smile on Shi Yan's face, Ruan Anxi couldn't recover from seeing such a smile for a while, until she was pulled back by the old lady's voice: "Xiao Xi, please sit down too. "
Turning her head to meet the teasing eyes of the old lady, Ruan Anxi, who realized what she was doing just now, suddenly felt her face burn, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look around.
After all, the old man was too old and couldn't keep up with his strength. After being hugged by her for a while, Ruan Xiaobei struggled off the ground by himself, raised his head and said, "Xiaobei helps grandma go."
"Okay, okay, you're so good." The old lady couldn't bear to let go of Ruan Xiaobei until the restaurant, seeing the child kept peeking at her mother, she simply let the mother and daughter sit beside her.
It's rare for the old lady to be so happy, and others naturally have no objection to this arrangement, only Mrs. Shi's face is not very good-looking.
The old lady's smile has not been broken since the three of them entered the door, until everyone has taken their seats, she has a chance to speak, and she is nothing more than praising Xiaodouding for being sensible and obedient.
Shi Zhongxun is not like Mrs. Shi, he has always had no objection to the wife here, but this child is really likable, and when one gets older, it will be difficult to resist the charm of a well-behaved child, and soon he will be like an old lady , All attention was focused on Ruan Xiaobei.
Mrs. Shi didn't give a good face when the mother and daughter entered the door, but when Zhongxun and the old lady obviously liked children very much, she couldn't directly approach them to dislike them, so she could only ask Ruan Anxi coolly: "Since the child It belongs to the Shi family, why didn't you say it before?"
"It was my idea." When Mrs. Shi's voice fell, Shi Yan took the words, without giving Ruan Anxi a chance to speak at all.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yan would really help her, Ruan Anxi was a little stunned for a moment, but when she caught sight of Mrs. Shi's ugly face, she put away her astonishment, and only returned a soft smile.
Shi Yan said as if it wasn't enough: "Didn't you have some misunderstanding with Xiaoxi? I was afraid that you would be unhappy seeing the child, so I never let Xiaobei come back."
The old lady's face suddenly turned a little ugly, Shi Zhongxun hurriedly said: "Eat first, Xiao Yan, you too, this child is so cute, how could your mother not like it, right?"
This is a step down for Mrs. Shi, but the latter didn't appreciate it at all: "If this child belongs to our family, I will naturally like it, but isn't it still uncertain?"
The old lady finally lost her composure, put the peeled shrimps into Ruan Xiaobei's bowl and said, "Don't be so eccentric, how did you know that Xiaobei is not a child of the Shi family?"
I don't know if I was scared by Shi Yan's words last night or what, but Gu Shi didn't come back today, Mrs. Shi was obviously a bit weak, but she didn't want the mother and daughter to enter Shi's house so easily, so she simply said: "Then What evidence does she have to prove that this child belongs to the Shi family?"
Ruan Anxi didn't want the child to have anything to do with the Shi family, so naturally she wouldn't argue now, and the others didn't expect Mrs. Shi to say such words as "let you prove that you are yourself". No one spoke.
Mrs. Shi felt that she was right, and seeing no one refute, she said: "Besides, Miss Ruan has been away from our Shi family for four years, and she traveled to America with Mr. Pei not long ago. I really find it hard to believe this. The child has nothing to do with the Pei family."
When Mrs. Shi mentioned Pei Jingchen, the atmosphere on the table was suddenly a little weird.
After Gu Shi revealed the photo last time, the two people in question left in a hurry without explaining it well. Even if the old lady liked Ruan Anxi so much, she still had some doubts about this matter.
Although Shi Yan didn't look as ugly as last time, he didn't speak again, and everyone at the table fell silent for a while.
Children are the most sensitive. Although Xiaobei had been burying her head in accepting the feeding from the old lady before, she couldn't help but look up at her mother. Ruan Anxi hurriedly gave her a comforting look. Didn't jump on her, but the things on the plate stopped touching.
After all, the old lady Shi is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves.When everyone was silent, she was the first to speak: "Xiao Bei and Xiao Yan looked so similar when they were young, how could they not be children of the Shi family?"
Having said that, Mrs. Shi will naturally not back off easily, and said directly after hearing the words: "Why didn't I see that this child looks like A Yan?"
The meaning in the words is obvious—old lady, don’t you be too old and dizzy?
The old lady was not provoked by her, and snorted: "When Xiao Yan was young, some people didn't know what they were busy with. The child was always with me. Of course, I know best what he looked like when he was young!"
The dissatisfaction with Mrs. Shi almost overflowed in the words, the latter was poked in his mind, his face suddenly became ugly, and he also shut up.
Seeing this, the old lady sneered, as if she didn't bother arguing with Mrs. Shi, she turned her head and said in a kind tone: "Xiaoxi, tell me now, is Xiaobei a child of the Shi family?"
"This……"
To be honest, the Shi family didn't give her a good impression. If she followed her thinking, she naturally didn't want the child to come back, and Mrs. Shi's words could be said to be right in her arms.
Although because of the old lady and Shi Yan's face, Xiao Bei brought Xiao Bei to the Shi family as a guest, but she always wanted to avoid getting Xiao Bei involved with the Shi family as much as possible, so she hesitated when asked this question before saying: " Baby..."
Shijia's water is too deep, for Xiaobei's sake, I can only feel sorry for him.
Ruan Anxi clenched her hands under the table into fists, and then said, "Xiao Bei's life experience is a bit complicated, I'm sorry."
Although Xiao Douding didn't quite understand why her mother wanted to apologize, she still felt that something was wrong, but Ruan Anxi stopped her with a look at her when she wanted to say something.
"Really?" The old lady showed suspicion. She could see Xiao Bei's performance just now, so she didn't believe Ruan Anxi's words.
After all, if Xiaobei is really a child of the Shi family, it would be a good thing for her.
It's just... Ruan Anxi doesn't seem to want to admit it?
The old lady could see clearly, but when Shi Yan heard Ruan Anxi's words, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
He had said before that Xiao Bei was his child, but now Ruan Anxi said that the child's background was complicated in front of so many people, wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"Zhongxun, what's going on?" Ruan Anxi kept silent, and the old lady finally became serious.
Shi Zhongxun was on pins and needles immediately, he could see the old lady's attitude towards this great-grandson, and he also hoped that the child belonged to the Shi family, but Ruan Anxi lowered his head and couldn't see anything, so he could only shift his target: "Xiao Yan, you Say."
Shi Yan's complexion was ugly, and his explanation was all because Ruan Anxi's "complicated life experience" stuck in his throat, and while depressed, he became angry with that woman.
In vain he has been protecting her in front of Mrs. Shi, but others don't care about his kindness at all!
He actually naively thought that if Ruan Anxi agreed, he could take Xiao Bei home to live with him. Now that he thinks about it, he just finds it funny.
He has his own father and his own family, so is there any need for him to meddle here?
It was really hit by Mrs. Shi, he is just a fool who rushes to raise children for others!
Seeing that Shi Yan stopped talking, Mrs. Shi couldn't help but look a little smug.No matter how cute other people's children are, they are not related by blood after all. How can it be so easy for Ruan Anxi to return to Shi's family?
"I'll just say it, but I don't say why it suddenly appeared. Did you take a fancy to our family's Ayan... property?"
"Mommy..."
Stared at by Mrs. Shi's eyes full of malice, Xiao Bei finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Although she doesn't understand the world of adults, she clearly sensed Mrs. Shi's aggressiveness towards Ruan Anxi during the exchange of words, and immediately slipped off the chair and threw herself on Ruan Anxi.
The old lady's face turned cold all of a sudden, Xiao Bei looks like Ruan Anxi and Shi Yan, if others can't see it, why can't she?After walking in the world for most of her life, she knows better than anyone else.
"I'm really sorry, but Xiao Bei...I'd better take her back first." Ruan Anxi cast a sorry look at Shi Yan. Although Shi Yan helped her, she really didn't want Xiao Bei to step into Shi Yan. The muddy water at home made the past repeat the same mistakes.
Xiaobei is still young, she just wants to make Xiaobei's childhood feel at ease and happy, and everything else is for later. This is the most instinctive wish of a mother.
The latter didn't look at her with a sullen face, thinking that the relationship that had already improved might have dropped to a freezing point because of her words, Ruan Anxi felt sore in his heart, and was about to get up immediately, but was stopped by the old lady.
"Why do you speak so badly? It scares the child!" The old lady glared at Mrs. Shi fiercely, and said angrily, "What if it's someone else's child? I think Xiaobei likes it very much. Who is this family? Who has the final say, are there any rules?"
