The atmosphere in the car was awkward. Jiang Shu was not a talkative person, and Bai Yiyi's face had not looked good since she got in the car.

Only Bai Shuxi said a few words from time to time: "Junior sister, it's getting late. Do you want to have dinner together before going back?"

He spoke lightly, and Bai Yiyi turned sideways and looked at him, her expression even more ugly.

Jiang Shu: "No need."

She lowered her eyes, unable to see her expression clearly.

"Okay, then I won't force you, Junior Sister."

What to do? It seemed a bit cruel. The smile in his eyes became deeper.

Don't push too hard...

The window paper has been punctured, so he, the little junior sister, must be given some time to think.

………

Arriving at the Central Mansion soon, Jiang Shu thanked her briefly and then turned around and went upstairs. A look behind her was staring at her closely.

Bai Shuxi squinted his eyes and looked at her back. It was dark and no one was moving around. Jiang Shu's already thin figure looked even more lonely against the backdrop, which in vain made people feel a sense of protectiveness.

Bai Yiyi interrupted his gaze with a stiff tone: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"Aren't you helping me?"

Her brother would always consider his own interests first in whatever he did, so how could he help her make Jiang Shu, a substitute, recognize her identity?

"Do you want to be with Jiang Shu after she leaves Ayu?"

This is a very reasonable explanation.

Bai Yiyi's innocent little face was stained with an inconsistent and twisted look, and her tone was sarcastic.

Bai Shuxi's face was indifferent, and Shi Shiran said: "What's wrong? Don't you want to reconcile with Cheng Xiyu?"

"Impossible! Who is Jiang Shu? She wants to enter the Bai family!" She raised her voice as if she was stabbed by something, and said in a hateful voice: "Who the hell is she? Do you really think she is?

Will Yu abandon me for her?!"

………

What does it look like.

Isn't there a little bit of the demeanor of our lady, who is so angry because of a man?

It was before, but now I still don’t know how to repent!

"Look at yourself! Where have you learned the etiquette of the family?!" His face lost the usual gentleness, and he said coldly: "Okay, I know you don't like her, so I won't bring her into the Bai family."

"Being so impatient when something happens is different from ordinary people in the city?! Think about it for yourself."

"...", realizing her gaffe, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she whispered: "I know..."

…

inside the room.

The living room was dark, Jiang Shu did not turn on the light and sat on the small hanging chair on the balcony.

The mobile phone screen next to it was dazzlingly bright in the darkness, and it stayed on the WeChat dialog page——

[A Cheng]: I have something to do tonight and I can’t take you out to eat. If you don’t want to do it, just ask Wang Ye to send the food over.

【A Cheng】: Eat well.

"…………"

………

The wall clock on the wall was ticking - ticking - and the phone screen gradually dimmed. The balcony fell into darkness again.

Thoughts are like a ball of burning coals on the stove, sweltering and unbearable.

………

Cheng family in Nanshi.

Cheng Xiyu's face darkened, and his aura was terrifying: "What do you want?!"

"Xiaoyu, can you listen to your mother and separate from that girl?" Cheng's mother looked a little pleading and said in a rare soft voice.

Cheng Xiyu felt funny in her heart, but she couldn't smile on her face.

He looked mockingly at Cheng Bin, who was sitting on the other side drinking tea, and then at Cheng's mother beside him, who was waiting for his answer intently.

How similar.

The two people who usually don't see each other once every half a month, the few times they united front were all for him.

Worry about his feelings.

If I tell you this, others will have to say: I really care about my children...

He felt a little breathless, and a chill ran through his body, from his spine to his feet.

Slowly exhaling a breath, he asked in a cold voice without expression: "Dad, why are you sitting here?"

Cheng Bin rubbed the tea cup in his hand and slowly put it on the table. He opened his mouth and his eyes were incomprehensible: "Xiao Yu, there will always be someone better than her."

"What should I do if I want her?" He leaned back a little calmly and looked at the two of them with faint eyes.

Mother Cheng seemed to be stimulated by something, her gentle expression just now suddenly faded: "No! I won't agree! No..."

"Xiaoyu, listen to your mother, you can't be with her, you can't..."

Can't?

What's the point?

He sneered and said "Oh" with a smile in a low voice: "Can you give me a reason?"

"The family background doesn't deserve it? Or is it that inexplicable disdain for me again?"

"We have been together for three years, why do you want to separate me from her now?"

He even asked with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, which was terrifyingly cold.

Three years…

Three years…

Just one year later, she...

Her nervous voice was shrill—

"What do you know?!"

Cheng Ye...Tangli Town...

Mother Cheng's face slowly became distorted——

"Do you know...she is...she is-"

"Okay!! Mother Wang, help the old lady go up and have a rest!" Cheng Bin interrupted Mother Cheng with an ugly look on his face.

As if she wanted to be splashed with a basin of cold water, Cheng's mother came back to her senses, with a little fear in her eyes.

What is it?

Does mother know Jiang Shu?

He frowned almost imperceptibly and pondered for a moment: "What should I know?"

Mother Cheng stopped talking and murmured nervously: "...I want to rest, I want to rest..."

"Wang Ma, help me go to rest..."

Wang Ma: "Oh, okay, please slow down."

………

He only knew that one thing that could make Cheng's mother lose control...

For a moment, an idea came to his mind, and it disappeared before he could catch it.

"...Ahem..." Cheng Bin's face looked a little unnatural, he adjusted it and said in a deep voice: "Your mother is like that, don't think too much about it."

"That little girl, I've seen photos. She's pretty, but..."

"Can you tell me what her relationship is with the Bai family?"

"…………"

Cheng Xiyu felt unbearable irritation for no reason: "No."

"Now for me—no more."

In the past, she was indeed regarded as a... stand-in.

That's his fault.

It's different now. Jiang Shu is Jiang Shu. He only likes Jiang Shu and nothing else.

Cheng Bin: “…………”

Cheng Bin: "...Xiaoyu, listen to dad again and separate from that girl."

"Your mother... I went to the Central Mansion to see you last time. I met the girl once, but I didn't like her. The girl was too cold and not a person to like. You two had such an unhappy start.

You have fallen into this all by yourself. If people don’t like you, tell me what you would do?”

"I don't agree with you two being together either."
