Bamboo horse is not a gentleman

Chapter 47

After the two packed up, they went to Xu's house.

Xu Hu is not at home, and now the chess and card room and the proprietress of the chess and card room are his lifeblood.

Wang Yuqian tried her best to make lunch for Xu Feng.

The doorbell rang several times before Xu Fengcai moved from the TV to the door. He was never afraid of his sister, but for some reason, seeing Lu Bai's tall and powerful figure and his overly upright and cold handsome face, he was always a little apprehensive.

"Mom, they're here." The little fat man yelled at the kitchen angrily.

Wang Yuqian turned off the gas, wiped her hands on her apron, straightened her hair, and came out in a hurry.The quarrel with my daughter yesterday is still in my ears, and my heart is embarrassing, chaotic, angry, but also bitter. Life is in such a situation, I don’t know who to blame, my daughter or myself, or the sudden death of resentment The dead husband who left them behind...

"You guys are here, hehe."

Yuan Qing saw her mother's face was gray and haggard, but she was still busy cooking, and she couldn't help feeling distressed:
"Mom, I'll cook, you go and rest."

"No, it's almost ready, but I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't make extra preparations."

Polite, extra polite, extra polite.

Yuan Qing's heart throbbed, after all, it was her impulsiveness that destroyed the balance that had been carefully maintained over the years.

Lu Bai pressed her palm quietly to express comfort, and then said solemnly to Wang Yuqian:

"Auntie, let Yuan Qing do it, I have something to tell you."

Yuan Qing raised his face and looked at him suspiciously, but the only answer he got was a mature and mysterious smile from the man.

For Lu Bai, Wang Yuqian could be considered to have grown up with him since she was a child. This young man with good conduct, serious personality, and integrity made her trust her from the bottom of her heart. She was stunned for a moment, and instinctively went to the small room according to his words.

As soon as Wang Yuqian entered the room, she was respectfully invited by Lu Bai to the sofa next to the desk.

Except for her deceased ex-husband, no one had ever treated her so respectfully in her life, which made her heart soaked in bitterness feel warm and ironed for a moment.She understands that she is just a lonely and useless old woman who has nothing to look forward to in her life. The only thing she can count on is a man. Even if Xu Hu is unreliable, Xu Feng is also the backbone of her future. She can find happiness, as long as she doesn't suffer as much as herself.

"Lu Bai, what do you want to tell me?"

"Auntie, I officially dated Yuan Qing a few days ago."

"What?" Wang Yuqian's eyes lit up, like a dead tree suddenly springing up.

"You also know that Yuan Qing and I have known each other for many years. My temper is not very good, but Yuan Qing always treats me wholeheartedly, and I also want to repay her sincerely, so we are together."

"Okay, okay..." Wang Yuqian patted Lu Bai's hand, "You have always been a good boy, capable and steady, but Qing'er is much worse in comparison. I always thought you might look down on her, no think……"

"No, in my eyes, she is really nice."

"That's good. Yuan Qing is a stupid child. He accepts death and doesn't know how to adapt. He believes that one is the other. So, please, replace me as a mother and take good care of her and care about her. If you can get married in the future, I will marry you." Die without regrets!"

"I will. I will protect her for the rest of my life and will not let her suffer any harm." Lu Bai firmly held Wang Yuqian's hand back, "Yuan Qing loves you very much in my heart, but I don't know how to express it. If you If you are willing to go to Lucheng with us, she will be able to see you often, and she will no longer have to worry about your health and safety."

Wang Yuqian smiled bitterly and said:

"How can it be that easy? What's more, I can't let Xiaofeng go."

"Isn't Uncle Xu in debt? As long as he agrees to give up Xiaofeng, I will pay off the debt for him." Lu Bai wanted to say it as tactfully as possible, but when the words came out of his mouth, they became direct. A naked transaction in this family entanglement.

Wang Yuqian's eyes widened, and she looked at Lu Bai in disbelief for a moment, before turning a thousand words into a sigh:
"Your Uncle Xu is a person, not an object that can be thrown away. You are still young, and you still can't understand a man's love for his own son. This breaks the relationship between the bones and the tendons. Although he is now Women are obsessed with all kinds of things, but if he is asked to choose between money and his son, based on my years of living with him, he will definitely choose Xiaofeng."

Lu Bai was about to open his mouth to say something, but Wang Yuqian said directly:

"Take a step back, even if he chooses money, he will regret it sooner or later. At that time, he may come to Xiaofeng five times and three times, making the whole family uneasy, and you are also uneasy, which is not good. ..."

After Wang Yuqian said it in one breath, she gasped slightly, showing her tiredness. Lu Bai stared deeply at the expression on her emaciated face, eager to argue and trying to hide something. After a while, she said:

"I just want to ask you a question, and I hope you can answer me truthfully."

Wang Yuqian's eyes hesitated:
"what is the problem?"

"Are you unable to let go of...Uncle Xu?"

Wang Yuqian's expression was obviously a little flustered, her lips were pursed and she didn't know how to respond.

Lu Bai warmly said:
"Please don't worry, I won't tell Yuan Qing, you just need to tell me what you really think, and I will handle this matter according to your idea."

"I..." Wang Yuqian seemed to have made up her mind and said, "The ups and downs of so many years, the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, you can't just let go of it. I will never forget Yuan Qing's father's death At that time, I felt like the sky was falling. It wasn't until Xu Hu appeared in front of our mothers that we had a backbone, and we could live our lives again. After a long time as a husband and wife, they become relatives, and we have to be considerate and tolerant of each other. How could I, how could I just abandon him and live my own life just because he made a mistake for a while?!"

Lu Bai was silent for a long time, then nodded:
"I see. I will find a way to solve the problem of debt and work. You and Uncle Xu can live a good life."

When Lu Bai was about to get up and leave, Wang Yuqian's slightly sad voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Don't tell——Qing'er, otherwise she will be so sad. I haven't visited her father all these years. If she knows my true intention again, I will be even more ashamed in front of her!"

"I see." Lu Bai assured me gently.

People are selfish after all.

Wang Yuqian didn't want to go to Lucheng because of her affection for Xu Hu, and all kinds of excuses were ultimately just to cover up her inner shame.

Lu Bai understood Wang Yuqian, but he couldn't sympathize with her, because there was one person who made his heart hurt even more.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to walk into the kitchen. Yuan Qing had already tidied up the kitchen clumsily, and served the food for the little fat man to eat. The little fat man wanted to bury his head in the rice bowl, chewing jujubes, as if he hadn't eaten for many days. like.

"What did you and my mother talk about?" Yuan Qing asked in a low voice when the two left the kitchen.

"Of course the big things that happened recently."

The second monk Yuan Qingzhang was puzzled:

"What's the big deal recently? Is your stock blown?"

Lu Bai ruthlessly treats his amnesiac girlfriend to eat a chestnut:
"Think again!"

After hanging out with Lu Da's writer for a long time, and recently encountered accidents one after another, which stimulated the nerves of the brain, Assistant Yuan finally had a flash of inspiration, his face gradually turned red, and he said angrily:

"Why don't you tell me, just tell my mother."

Lu Bai looked at Qingmei acting shy and coquettish like a child, and couldn't help laughing, but his heart was heavy. The girl in front of him, like himself, had a family, but seemed to have no family, living alone in this huge world. Fortunately, , They met and knew each other a long time ago, otherwise how would they survive?What is the motivation to go on?

"Auntie asked me to find a way to help Uncle Xu find a job."

The smile on Yuan Qing's face withered like falling flowers, she lowered her eyes and lowered her eyebrows and said:

"My mother, don't you want to divorce Xu Hu?"

Lu Bai was silent for a few seconds, then replied:

"Perhaps, Auntie just wants to continue to live in peace."

"You don't need...to comfort me." Yuan Qing smiled wryly, "I know she still forgot her father after all, time is the most ruthless thing, it can dilute all pain and feelings."

Sure enough, they are mother and daughter, but I still can't hide it from her, Lu Bai sighed in his heart:
"Time does not dilute everything, but all people and things can only move forward. The so-called 'the dead are long gone, and the survivors are alive'. What has gone is gone, and there is no turning back. I like to guard the people and things in front of me, because I can get less and less.”

"I feel...she is getting farther and farther away from me."

"She doesn't want to cause you any trouble and let you get involved in her grievances with Xu Hu. All you can do is understand her, respect her decision, and try your best not to make her regret her decision. "

As a woman, Yuan Qing also couldn't understand Wang Yuqian, because the nostalgia for her father occupied her feelings.

On the way back to the hotel, Lu Bai went to the bank once, and deposited part of the deposit into the account Wang Yuqian gave him.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Lu Bai looked at the caller ID, knowing that it was those gangsters again, subconsciously turned sideways to prevent Yuan Qing from seeing his expression.

"You boy, I heard that you are a very famous writer. There is still a house in Lucheng. Our brothers have discussed it. Just a villa is not enough for us to share."

Lu Bai held the phone slightly tighter:
I knew these people wouldn't let it go so easily!

His eyes were sharp and his voice was cold:
"If that's the case, then the villa can't be allocated?"

"What do you mean, boy, you want to go back on your word?"

"It's you who turned back. In this case, this deal will be invalid."

After all, he hung up the phone.

Seeing Lu Bai returning to the taxi with an uneasy expression, Yuan Qing couldn't help asking:

"What happened?"

"I want to meet Li Yan, do you want to go together?"

Yuan Qing looked at Lu Bai in surprise, and finally nodded:
"Okay, can't we just go and see you?"

"I have completed the formalities yesterday. Today is just a day when I can visit."

"Why do you want to see him all of a sudden?"

"It's a bill, and it must be cleared." Lu Bai said to the taxi driver flatly, "Master, please go to Lenghai Prison."

"Okay." The driver glanced at them curiously in the rearview mirror.
