A guest arrives at midnight 73.73

  Line.

  Watching Shu Xiao Ai enter the kitchen, Shu's father nudged Shu's mother and whispered, "The child has become much more sensible after the divorce."

  "Hmm, I see, didn't you give me 3,000 yuan last time you came back? Where else have you ever given me money?"

  "She didn't have money before either, we adults don't want to spend kids' money, in the future, Xia Ai gives you money can't be known by others?"

  Shu Mu was displeased, "She's filial to me, why wouldn't I want her? Am I an idiot?"

  "Shu's father said, 'She's having a tough time, her kid is divorced, didn't I give you all my money?'"

  "Yours is yours, hers is hers, can they be the same?"

  Shu's father saw her bulging belly and didn't want to argue with her about this issue, so he got up and walked into the kitchen.

  "Xiao Ai, last time you gave your aunt 3,000 yuan, your father found out. You're alone, the money you earn should be saved for yourself, don't always give it to us, I'm earning money too."

  Xiao Ai smiled, "Dad, if I earn more, I'll give her a bit more. If I earn less, I'll give her a bit less. It's not for her, it's for the child in her belly. The child needs nutrition too. I see that she doesn't even dare to eat or wear anything."

  Shu's father heard this, and his eyes suddenly became warm and moist. Xiao Ai had been following him since she was a child, and the lack of maternal love had made her personality extremely strong-willed. The fact that she could speak to her stepmother like this meant that she had finally come to terms with it.

  Shu Xiaoai carried out milk tea and handed a cup to Shu Mu, one for herself, and the three of them sat on the sofa watching TV.

  "Xiao Ai, now that you're divorced, you should quickly find a good one. My niece's cousin is quite the talent, tall and strong, why don't we arrange for you two to meet?"

  Shu Xiao Ai was taken aback and then said, "I'm in no hurry, I don't want to get married yet."

  "Let's meet first, others have legitimate jobs, earning several thousand yuan a month, and they don't spend money on drinking and socializing, they're quite honest. I've been thinking about how to tell you this, I even called people to say that you're back, let's find some time to meet, if not then forget it."

  Shu's father thought it was okay, "Xiao Ai, let's just set a time to meet and see how it goes. If not, then refuse him. It's no big deal. I've also met your aunt's nephew before, that young man is pretty good."

  Shu Xiao Ai nodded, "Okay."

  Shu's mother quickly called her nephew, but he wasn't around here, so he was in the city. So tomorrow Shu's mother will accompany Xia Ai to the city to see him.

  At night, lying in her own little house, Shu Xiao Ai felt more or less at ease. She had slept in this room for many years.

  The room is small, but it's where she grew up.

  It wasn't until evening that she received a reply from Zhong Yuchen's message.

  Only one "en" character.

  The message sent in the morning was replied in the evening, how busy can one be?

  Shu Xiao Ai turned off her phone and finally fell into a deep sleep.

  The next day, I followed Shu's mother and took a two-hour bus ride to the city.

  Shu Mu Da patted her swollen belly that was about to give birth, Shu Xiao Ai didn't let her come, but she insisted on coming.

  Two people arrived at a downtown coffee shop according to their agreed location.

  Standing at the entrance of the cafe, Shu Mu looked at the sign and said with satisfaction, "Look, my nephew's appointment location is so upscale."

  Shu Xiao Ai didn't say anything and followed her in.

  As I walked in, a man's voice loudly shouted, "Auntie, over here."

  Shu Mu excitedly pointed with her finger for Little Ai to see, "Do you see that? That's it."

  "I see."

  Two people walked in, Shu Mu's nephew was indeed tall and big, white and clean, the kind that can't be found even if thrown into a crowd. However, he looked at Shu Xiao Ai with a hand-footed and awkward feeling, making Shu Xiao Ai feel somewhat shy and embarrassed.

  Such a down-to-earth and honest man should be quite good, at least, isn't that what's needed for daily life?

  "Yi Qun, what are you staring at Xiao Ai for? Speak up!" Shu Mu slapped him on the back of the head.

  "Hehe, hello, I'm Zhu Yiqun."

  A group of pigs?

  Shu Xiao Ai couldn't help but laugh at this name...

  "Hello, I'm Xia Ai."

  Zhu Yiqun shouted at the waiter twice, "Three cups of coffee with sugar!"

  "After that, he said, 'Your situation has been told to me over the phone, so you can rest assured. I don't hit women, I don't drink or smoke, and all the money I earn is handed over.'"

  Shu's mother quickly said, "Did you hear that, Xia Ai? Such a good man is hard to find. Auntie has been thinking about it and I'll tell you, if you're happy, your dad will be at ease too."

  It can't be helped, but when she heard this sentence, Shu Xiao Ai's emotions were slightly moved.

  Although this stepmother didn't get along with her, she tolerated her for the sake of money, but despite this, she still felt a thread of care.

  At this moment, Shu Xiao Ai actually felt that she was not worthy of a man like Zhu Yi Qun.

  "But, Auntie, I'm not good enough for him."

  Upon hearing this, not only was Shu Mu stunned, but Zhu Yiqun was also stunned. He then quickly said, "How can you say such a thing? You're not worthy of Mount Tai."

  Shu Mu also said, "Although you've been married once, Yi Qun doesn't mind."

  Shu Xiao Ai was choked with emotion and didn't know what to say.

  "Just..." She didn't finish her sentence, as a figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.

  Zhong Yuchen walked in from the entrance of the cafe, originally intending to head upstairs, but his gaze inadvertently stopped on Shu Xia'ai.

  He habitually narrowed his eyes and went up the stairs.

  "Xiao Ai, don't just be like that. Where can you find a good kid like Yituan? You should also think about your own conditions and not be too picky."

  "Auntie, I'm not picking on him, I think he's quite good too. However, I don't want to get married yet."

  "It's okay, don't get married for now, you two just date first, how about that Yitian?"

  Zhu Yiqun nodded in agreement, "Alright, now that everyone is still young, let's talk about marriage later."

  Shu Xiao Ai couldn't think of a better excuse, actually, she knew that if she refused, her stepmother's mood would be bad, but rather than ruining a man's youth, it was better to make things clear early on.

  Zhu Yiqun is a good man who lives a comfortable life, but he's not the kind of man she wants to marry.

  She doesn't love him, and this is precisely the reason why it can't be accepted.

  "You're great, I also think you're a good man, but to be honest, I don't like your type of man."

  Those words were hurtful, but she was telling the truth.

  Zhu Yiqun nodded, "It's okay, if it doesn't feel right just say so clearly, that's a good point too. Alright, you and Gu stay for a bit longer, I'll leave first."

  "Yi Qun..." Shu Mu got angry, looking at her nephew's leaving figure, she stormed out of the coffee shop with her bag.

  Thinking of her soon-to-be-born belly, Shu Xiao Ai hurriedly caught up.

  She got on the bus and sat next to her mother, looking at her angry expression. Xiao Ai spoke up, "Auntie, don't be mad, it's my fault. I think someone like me doesn't deserve a good man as honest and kind as him, it's my problem."

  "What's suitable or not, if the other person says it's suitable then it's suitable. You're just arguing with yourself for no reason, Xiao Ai. I know what you mean, you don't have a spark with him, but when living together, two people can't rely on love alone."

  "I already know."

  "Such a good man you don't want, what kind of man are you looking for?"

  "I love him, he loves me, a man who can spend his life with me hand in hand, rather than lacking than excessive."

  Shu Mu sighed, "Actually, you don't want to follow in your parents' footsteps, right?"

  Xiao Ai was taken aback and didn't say anything.

  "Your dad and mom weren't just two people brought together by their parents, were they? After all the struggles over the years, I respect your choice. After all, you and I have a bit of similar personalities."

  "Auntie, I remember my dad saying that you insisted on marrying someone you liked and remained single until you were 40, right?"

  She nodded, "Yes, the world is so big, it's really rare to meet someone you like. Xia Ai, on this point, I think we can't force you."

  Shu Xiao Ai pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

  It was almost noon when I got home.

  Shu Xiao Ai can't cook, but her mother cooks well, she helps with serving and washing dishes.

  After dinner, the two of them sat on the sofa watching TV, Shu's father went to work.

  "Xiao Ai, have you seen your birth mother recently?" Shu Mu asked.

  "No."

  "It's not that others aren't like this, but people like your mom, I really can't understand. At the beginning when you and your dad got married, she even came back to find me."

  "How was I supposed to know?"

  "Where did you learn that? Your dad doesn't allow it to be said. I really don't understand her. Is it good for your dad to be single for the rest of his life?"

  "She is someone else's wife and someone else's mother, no longer a family member of mine and dad's. Only then can we be a family."

  Her sudden maturity made Shu Mu very pleased, but in this peaceful and uneventful state, Shu Mu was also unwilling to stir up trouble.

  After all, one's heart is comparable to another's.

  Just as I lay down on the bed in the evening, the deputy director's phone call came, "Shu Xiao Ai, we will officially start work tomorrow."

  "But, director... my mom is in labor now, I won't be able to make it tomorrow, how about the day after tomorrow?"

  "By the day after tomorrow at the latest."

  "Good."

  She hung up the phone and took a deep breath. Sun Dandan was hit by a car, she thought it would start working in a month, but unexpectedly delayed for three months, delaying many people's time for three months.

  It's said that after such a long time, Sun Dandan hit her head and was in a coma for over a month before waking up. She almost became a vegetable, but fortunately, she had some minor plastic surgery on her face, otherwise, with a disfigured face, she wouldn't be able to play the lead role.

  A great calamity does not kill one; it is unknown whether it is good fortune or bad fortune.

  The sky outside the window is as black as ink, without a single starlight.

  She sat there holding her mobile phone until a message came in.

  He looked down and saw that the sender was actually Zhong Yuchen.

  Looking at the screen page prompting new messages, Shu Xiao Ai was somewhat nervous, but in the end she still opened the message.

  There is only one sentence above: I am under your building, come down.

  Shu Xiao Ai hastily pushed open the window, and indeed, his car was parked below. The light from inside the car shone just right on his face. Suddenly, it seemed as if he knew she was standing by the window, and he looked over in her direction. From afar, their eyes met.
