Bai Yushan said: "Mom, I think she is deliberately quarreling with Tingting. She can't understand a rural character, so how can she do this job? You might as well find her an in-law in the countryside."
Hearing them belittle her mother like this, Mengmeng was so angry that her little eyebrows stood up. She shouted loudly: "Who said mommy can't read? Mommy can write books!"
Wu Xia pinched Mengmeng's little face and said, "Mengmeng don't be angry. Mengmeng must remember not to be angry for people who don't deserve it."
After coaxing the child, Wu Xia said coldly with a sullen face: "Ms. Yu Xiufen, I thought you had understood what I meant before, but I didn't expect that your IQ is so worrying. Let me say it again, I have no feelings for your family. I am not interested in your love."
"Also, what you just said is contrary to what I said. I don't owe Bai Tingting anything. On the contrary, Bai Tingting has occupied my identity and enjoyed the favor of the Bai family for so many years. In the final analysis, she owes me."
"But I don't care about her compensation. She can continue to stay in this family if she wants to, and you can continue to pamper her as if you are blind."
Anyway, Wu Xia is in a bad mood now, and she will quarrel with others when she is unhappy, not to mention that they owe her quarrels.
"That's how you talk to your mother!" Upon hearing Wu Xia scolding her for being blind, Yu Xiufen got angry and used the loud voice of the women's director.
Many people gathered around her, and Yu Xiufen became even more excited when she saw it. Just when she was about to say a few more words, she saw Wu Xia's face turned pale. Her broken and sad beauty made the people around her immediately stand beside her. This way.
"Old woman, don't bully others!" The young man looked at Wu Xia and blushed, and waved his fist directly at Yu Xiufen.
Wu Xia pretended to wipe her tears and said to Xiufen: "Actually, you are right. I have a father but no mother to teach me, so I just can't speak."
It took about a minute for Yu Xiufen to react. She pointed at Wu Xia and said, "You should teach me less!"
The people around her pointed at her, and the young man who spoke for Wu Xia just now shouted: "People have already said that they have no mother, and you still say that! What the hell are you doing to rub salt into other people's wounds?"
"Yes, yes." Many people echoed.
Yu Xiufen almost fainted from anger after hearing this. She couldn't figure out what this daughter who grew up in the country had to rely on. Logically speaking, shouldn't she please them well? How could she become so rebellious?
"Wu Xia, my brother is in the Department of Culture. Are you afraid of losing your job if you talk to mom like this?" Bai Yushan threatened.
"Comrade, your brother works in the Department of Culture. I want to know how he will make this lady lose her job. Can you tell me more about it? I will report it to you in the evening newspaper?" Ding Wenmin didn't know when to show his grace. She walked out of the crowd gracefully, pushing up her glasses with her slender fingers.
After this question, the surrounding people started to cheer.
"Tell me, let us see your brother's energy, and we can help him promote it." What everyone hates most is people who use public weapons for personal gain. Seeing everyone glaring at him, Bai Yushan became silent.
Only then did he realize that power is also a double-edged sword.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. What does a child know?" Yu Xiufen's expression changed and she quickly pushed her son to let him go.
Seeing the mother and daughter leaving in embarrassment, Ding Wenmin asked: "Who are these two people?"
"We'll go over there and talk."
Wu Xia didn't want to expose his privacy in front of everyone, so he pointed towards the door of the Cultural Bureau.
The two passed through the crowd. The young man who had just spoken to Wu Xia saw Wu Xia and Ding Wenmin standing together and facing each other, and stepped back in shame.
Wu Xia smiled at him: "Thank you."
When the young man saw Wu Xia thanking him, his face suddenly turned red. After a long time, he looked at Wu Xia's back and whispered, "I wish you happiness."
Arriving at the gate of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Wu Xia said: "They are my biological mother and younger brother. I didn't expect that they and Bai Tingting are the same family."
"Is that the shell carving factory?"
"Yeah." Wu Xia nodded.
After hearing this, Ding Wenmin pushed up his glasses and said, "If you can raise such a daughter, it doesn't matter if the family doesn't recognize her."
Wu Xia nodded, feeling a little frustrated. She didn't expect that she would come back disappointed when she came here. When she first looked at Bai Qiming, she still longed for these relatives. She didn't expect that this trip would be better than not seeing each other.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Ding Wenmin said: "You go to work first, and when you get off work, I will treat you to dinner."
"How can I always ask you to treat me to dinner? It's my turn to treat you if you want to."
Ding Wenmin whispered: "If it's that kind of date, I'm willing to let you treat me."
Although his voice was small, Wu Xia heard it clearly.
This time she understood the meaning clearly. What Ding Wenmin wanted was a date from his lover, but he couldn't give it to him.
Wu Xia looked embarrassed.
When she was about to speak, Ding Wenmin shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "Look at you, you can't make a joke every time. I just want to have a meal with you, there is no other purpose, so don't feel any pressure."
Seeing Editor Ding say this, Wu Xia couldn't help but relax. Editor Ding could always take care of his emotions just right, which was really lovable.
"Then I want to go back to work and we will meet at the door in the evening."
Watching Wu Xia's leaving figure, Ding Wenmin had a warm smile in his eyes. When Wu Xia's figure completely disappeared, Ding Wenmin sighed: I don't know when this little fool will accept his own feelings, alas... ...
After get off work, Wu Xia came down from upstairs and saw Editor Ding waiting at the door.
She saw that Ding Wenmin's nose was slightly red from the cold, and said angrily: "Editor Ding, you should have asked the guard to call me."
Ding Wenmin smiled and said: "I just arrived, so I didn't wait long."
"Uh." Wu Xia was thinking about how to speak and bring Mengmeng with her.
Ding Wenmin said considerately: "Let's go pick up the children first."
His words made Wu Xia feel a little embarrassed. She felt that the three of them were a family. Ding Wenmin glanced at her and said with a smile: "Why are you still standing there? Are you going to pick up the child in advance?"
Wu Xia put away her thoughts and went to pick up the child with Ding Wenmin.
Then the two of them took Mengmeng to a Western restaurant on bicycles.
This Western restaurant has a history of several decades in Pingcheng. Except for a period of closure during special historical periods, the rest of the time it is always full of guests and it is difficult to find a seat. Ding Wenmin spent a lot of effort to get a seat.
"Please come in." The waiter welcomed them in. After Ding Wenmin told the waiter the reserved seat number, the waiter politely took the three of them to the reserved seat.
This was the first time Mengmeng came to a Western restaurant. Looking at the decoration and shiny silver tableware, her eyes felt that it was not enough.
Ding Wenmin helped Mengmeng take off his coat, and then helped Wu Xia hang up his coat. After sitting down, he said to Wu Xia: "Today, I have two good news to tell you."
