"Brother Xu Xiang, Sister Xia Yao, you are so noisy, Xiao Yu has been woken up by you." With the sound of intermittent footsteps, a certain "landlord" who seemed to be not fully awake with a pillow in his arms rubbed his hazy sleepy eyes, and pouted into the sight of Xu Xiang, Xia Yao and his mother.

The self-proclaimed "Xiao Yu" is naturally Fang Xinyu.

Seeing Fang Xinyu, compared to Xia Yao's mother's stunned, Xu Xiang and Xia Yao calmed down a lot, after all, it was expected, the latter also beckoned to Fang Xinyu, and said with a little apology: "Xiao Yu, I'm sorry, it's us who are too noisy, come, come to Sister Xia Yao." ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, Fang Xinyu just hugged the pillow and walked towards Xia Yao, but the afterglow was aimed at Xia Yao's mother opposite, she was startled, her sleepiness disappeared, she ran to Xia Yao's side in three steps and two steps and said in a vigilant voice: "What are you old woman doing here?" Do you want Sister Xia Yao to marry that ugly man, Xiao Yu won't let you succeed! ”

A long time ago, when Fang Xinyu accompanied Xia Yao to the supermarket to buy something, she met Xia Yao's mother, and there was also an "ugly man", that is, Guo Xunlin, who would have such a reaction now.

"Xiao Yu, don't worry, Brother Xu Xiang is here." Stretched out his hand and touched Fang Xinyu's head, Xu Xiang smiled slightly, then turned around and said in a sarcastic tone, "What, do you need me to help you shout a few more times to see if the 'landlord' will appear?" ”

Xu Xiang's words made Xia Yao's mother's face red and white, after all, she spoke so loudly just now, if there were still people, she would have woken up a long time ago.

"Mom, this house belongs to Xu Xiang." Presumably she couldn't bear to embarrass her mother too much, Xia Yao bit her lip and said, and then hugged Fang Xinyu into her arms, estimating that she accidentally touched the injury because she moved too much, and frowned, but unfortunately her kindness was not accepted by her mother.

"Even if this house belongs to this 'poor boy', it must have been bought with a loan and borrowed money from others, right?" Xia Yao's mother didn't notice her daughter's abnormality, but said with a very positive tone.

"Hehe......" Seeing Xia Yao's mother like this, Xu Xiang didn't bother to say more to her, smiled noncommittally, and at the same time leaned back on the sofa, he didn't feel obligated to prove to others that he bought this house, not to mention that he didn't think that explanation would be even a little useful.

Xia Yao's mother decided that Xu Xiang was still the "poor boy" he used to be, and as long as this premise existed, it was useless to say anything.

"Mom, didn't you say there was something important? What's going on? Without waiting for Xia Yao's mother to speak again, Xia Yao took the lead in saying that she really didn't want the two to get too stiff, even if she had always been on Xu Xiang's side, even if her mother was wrong from the beginning.

"Hmph." Xia Yao's mother naturally thought that Xia Yao was covering for Xu Xiang again, so she snorted proudly and said, "Your father is sick and wants you to go back." ”

"Daddy is sick?!" Hearing this key word in her mother's words, Xia Yao stood up from the sofa at once, ignoring the pain coming from below, and asked anxiously, "What is the disease?" How long have you been sick? Is it serious? It's time to take time off work to rest at home, right? ”

If Xia Yao has a lot of words for her mother, then she only has respect for her father, if it weren't for her father, it might be difficult to even live in Xu Xiang's house, at least her mother would come to the door to quarrel twice in three days.

"Well, it's serious, I've been resting at home for a few days, so I'll come to you to go back and see him." Seemingly caught off guard by Xia Yao's series of questions, Xia Yao's mother replied a little hesitantly, her eyes flickering around, completely losing the smugness of the previous few seconds.

"Okay, I'll ...... right away" Obviously disrupted by the news of her father's illness, Xia Yao didn't notice her mother's abnormality, but was about to get up and walk towards the entrance, but was grabbed by Xu Xiang.

"Xia Yao, wait a minute." Although the words were said to Xia Yao, Xu Xiang's eyes kept on her mother's body, and her eyes became sharp, as if she wanted to see people through thoroughly, and said in a deep voice, "Since it's quite serious, why don't you send it to the hospital?" ”

It may be that she was also surprised by the problem of not being sent to the hospital, or it may be out of trust in Xu Xiang, Xia Yao did not rush out again, but looked at her mother with a puzzled gaze.

"This ......" was a little weak by Xu Xiang's sharp eyes, Xia Yao's mother was suddenly speechless, and stopped for a few seconds before hurriedly saying, "It's too troublesome to send to the hospital, and there are ...... And it costs a lot of money......"

"It's all serious, and you're still worried about money?" Seeing Xia Yao's mother's appearance, coupled with the fact that she didn't mention Xia Yao's father's illness before, she didn't say it until Xia Yao mentioned it, and her tone was flat, not in a hurry at all, Xu Xiang was basically able to guess the truth.

"Yes, Mom, since it's quite serious, it's better to go to the hospital to see it." Xia Yao still thought that her mother was worried about money, so she persuaded seriously.

"I'll take your dad to the hospital when you get home, so let's go!" Xia Yao's mother obviously didn't want to continue the discussion on this topic, and said with a hesitant expression, while taking a few steps forward to hold Xia Yao's hand, but unfortunately she was blocked by Xu Xiang.

"Xu Xiang?" This time, the object of Xia Yao's doubts became Xu Xiang, after all, she was going back to see her sick father, which was very reasonable.

"I'm not trying to stop you from seeing your dad." Glancing at Xia Yao's mother with meaningful eyes, Xu Xiang said with a little smile on the corner of his mouth, "You just go to the hospital directly, I'll call the hospital and ask them to go to your home ambulance to send your father over." ”

"No way!" Without waiting for Xia Yao to answer, her mother first loudly denied it, which also made Xu Xiang really confirm his guess.

"Can't do it? I've covered all the medical expenses, is there anything else I can't do? Letting go of the hand that grabbed Xia Yao, Xu Xiang stared at her mother tightly and said, in a low and solemn tone, "Or is it that in fact you are not sick at all, and this is just an excuse for you to want Xia Yao to go back with you?" ”

"Excuses?" Seeing that her mother did not refute Xu Xiang's words, Xia Yao also sensed that something was wrong, and asked eagerly, "Xu Xiang, what is going on?" ”

"What's going on?" Glancing at Xia Yao's mother, whose face was cloudy, Xu Xiang said lightly, but there was an undoubted taste, "It is estimated that it is her grandfather who dances alone, that is, the arrangement of the Shangguan family, what benefits are promised, let your mother take you back." ”
