Huo Yanqing received a call from Song Li and went to the company. Shuxin didn't go to the company after she was discharged from the hospital. The doctor said that she almost had a miscarriage and needed more rest.
Only Shuxin and Huo Jibai were downstairs watching TV on the sofa. Mother Yun went out to buy groceries.
Shuxin saw Yao Huiqin and Jian Xi coming downstairs. She got up and went over to support them. "Mom, are you okay?"
Yao Huiqin smiled and shook his head. "I'm fine. I'm just too happy."
When Jian Xi heard Shuxin call her mom, she subconsciously looked at Shuxin. Her facial features faintly showed her father's appearance. Jian Xi looked at her and the resentment that had been buried in her heart for many years was drawn out again.
They sat down on the sofa and Jian Xi instructed Huo Jibai, "Xiao Bai, go make a cup of hot tea for your grandma."
Huo Jibai sat on the sofa and didn't move. He didn't look away from the TV screen as if he didn't hear Ding Han's words.
"Sister-in-law, let me do it." Shuxin got up and went to the kitchen.
When Jian Xi heard the word 'sister-in-law', a trace of darkness flashed past her eyes. Her expression didn't look too good. She picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Huo Jibai frowned and looked at Ding Han. His tone had a trace of a child's whining. "Mom, why did you turn off my TV?"
Jian Xi purposely looked at Huo Jibai with a straight face, but there was clearly unconcealable affection in her eyes. "Didn't you hear me when I asked you to make tea for your grandma?"
Huo Jibai looked away. "Didn't Shuxin go to make tea?"
Jian Xi's expression was slightly cold. "I called you."
"We're all family. What's there to distinguish between you and me?" Huo Jibai muttered softly.
When Jian Xi heard Huo Jibai's words, her expression turned even uglier. Yes, they were a family, but this relationship … was completely messed up. Jian Xi felt extremely upset. When she saw Shuxin, her heart twisted. "You're still talking back?"
"That's enough, Xiao Xi. You just came back, so don't scold my grandson." Yao Huiqin smiled and tried to smooth things over.
"Mom, didn't you always say that boys shouldn't be spoiled?" Jian Xi's words made Yao Huiqin's smile freeze on his face.
She sighed and said guiltily, "I was wrong in the past. I was deliberately making things difficult for you. I only have one grandson, Xiao Bai. If I don't spoil him, who else should I spoil?"
Jian Xi realized that she had said something wrong. "Mom, that's not what I meant … I just …"
"I know you don't blame me. I'm the one who feels guilty." Yao Huiqin patted the back of Jian Xi's hand.
Although Huo Jibai promised Shuxin that if Yao Huiqin took the initiative to call him, he would respond, he didn't take the initiative to talk to Yao Huiqin. After so many years of estrangement, the pain of almost losing his parents. Even if his mother was back, his father had left him forever. Huo Jibai still couldn't forgive Yao Huiqin.
He got up and walked upstairs. "I'm going to read."
Jian Xi gave birth to Huo Jibai, so she immediately sensed that something was wrong with her son. Her gaze followed him all the way up the stairs, and she only retracted her gaze when he disappeared at the entrance of the corridor. "Mother, is Jibai not treating you well?"
A trace of sadness flashed past Yao Huiqin's eyes. He smiled and shook his head. "No, he's very filial."
Jian Xi could see that Yao Huiqin's smile was very forced. It was obvious that he was hiding something from her. However, since Yao Huiqin wasn't willing to say it, she couldn't force him.
In the afternoon, Jian Xi was still cooking. Shuxin said that she wanted to help, but Jian Xi refused. Mother Yun went in to help, but Jian Xi agreed.
Shuxin frowned slightly as she came out of the kitchen. She felt that Jian Xi was a little distant from her. She thought that maybe Jian Xi and Mother Yun were more familiar with each other. After some time, they would get to know each other better.
