"Without any warning, she just left."

Every time Xu Yunian recalled the past, she felt unbearably heartbroken.

I don't even want to think about the details of the past anymore, for fear that I can't bear it.

After seeing Xu Xiu, she began to recall the past and every little detail.

Xu Xiu once hesitated whether to tell Grandpa Xu and others that there might be something strange about his mother's death, as well as the last words he had discovered.

But she quickly rejected the idea.

During the time she lived in the Xu family, she clearly saw the unbreakable relationship between the Xu family members, no matter how close or far they were.

In today's society, many families only maintain basic contacts with their relatives, but the Xu family is different. They still live together like a family, and are united as one.

Not only are they viewed as a family mentally, but their interests are also intertwined.

On many issues, they are united and face the outside world in a unified manner.

Xu Xiu couldn't judge what the Xu family would do if they knew all this.

Xu Xiu didn't dare to bet on what choice the two members of the Xu family would make between a member who had been dead for many years and a member of the Xu family who was still alive.

What if they thought they were overthinking it? What if they thought the notes were just their mother's delirious ramblings?

As time goes by and everyone is living well, are they still willing to pursue the matter?

Just as she was judging others by her own standards, Xu Xiu decided to sit back and see if he could find more evidence.

After coming out from Xu Yunian, Xu Xiu stood in the middle of a small bridge in the yard for a long time.

She looked at the goldfish in the stream and sprinkled some fish food into them.

She clapped her hands and was about to leave when she saw Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu smiled politely and left without saying anything.

Xu Xiu thought about what Xu Yunian had just said.

She vaguely mentioned the hostility of Jiang Yu, Xu Kezhi and Xu Huaizhi towards her, and Xu Yunian sighed helplessly.

She said that until Xu Yujia passed away, Jiang Yu remained the same as before, honest and cheerful, but with a somewhat bad temper.

After Xu Yujia passed away, everyone seemed to be shocked and became silent.

In addition, Jiang Yu's relationship with her husband took a sharp turn for the worse during that period, so she attached more importance to money and power, and she only wanted to ensure that her children would not suffer any loss.

Therefore, Xu Xiu's appearance would arouse her hostility.

Xu Yunian said that Jiang Yu was not a bad person, and everything was written on his face.

Xu Xiu also admitted this. She didn't know whether she was a bad person or not, but she did not hide her emotions and her dislike for her was basically on the surface.

Xu Xiu rubbed his swollen temples and decided to go back to sleep.

*

When I woke up again, it was almost evening.

The little kid was sitting cross-legged next to Xu Xiu holding his cell phone. When he saw Xu Xiu wake up, he was so startled that he accidentally dropped the phone.

Xu Xiu picked it up and saw himself on the screen, and Shen Xingyi in the small frame.

video call?

Shen Xingyi on the other end of the phone saw her wake up, calmed down from the panic just now, and raised the corners of his lips slightly:

"good evening."

Xu Xiu snorted coldly:

"Are you spying on me sleeping?"

Shen Xingyi's originally suppressed emotions suddenly surged because of her words. His ears were burning and his eyes were vague for a moment. He pretended to explain calmly:

"I'm just worried that you might get sick. Xiao Rang said that you were listless when you left home this morning, and you slept for a long time when you came back."

Xu Xiu snorted twice, then raised his eyes and glanced at the little kid.

The little kid came up to her guiltily, rubbing her shoulders affectionately and flatteringly:

"Mom, Dad said he missed you, so I agreed to let him see Mom's hair. Only hair, and only for three seconds."

Unexpectedly, my mother found out in the next second.

After Shen Xingyi heard his son's ruthless betrayal, he immediately added:

"I mean, I want to see if you are sick..."

Xu Xiu ignored the father and son's words, put his phone aside, and prepared to go for dinner.

The little kid carefully turned the phone over, and without waiting for Shen Xingyi to speak, he immediately hung up the call with his little finger, and the screen went dark.

Phew, luckily mom wasn’t angry. I must never be bewitched by dad again.

Dad said he hadn't seen Mom for a long time and wanted to see her. He also said that if a little kid asked him like this, he would not refuse.

The little boy thought that he would definitely miss his mother if he hadn't seen her for such a long time, so he agreed.

But he was afraid that his mother would be unhappy, so he only agreed to show his mother's hair to his father.

Anyway, hair is also a part of the mother. Sometimes, he would secretly grab a small handful of it in his hand before going to sleep, so that he could fall asleep.

Seeing that Xu Xiu was ready to go, Xiao Douding hurried to follow.

Tomorrow is the day of the birthday banquet. The Xu family is much more lively today and most people are already present.

Compared to the last time they met, when they were all complete strangers, this time Xu Xiu had some understanding of everyone.

Coupled with the doubts about Xu Yujia's suicide, Xu Xiu looked at everyone with a hint of scrutiny.

Xia Shuyu had not been here for a while, and when he came back he sat next to Xu Xiu.

"At tomorrow's birthday party, all the famous families in G City will probably be there. If there's anything you can't handle, call me or Xu Qiang and the others in time."

The reason why Xia Shuyu chose to explore everywhere and didn't want to stay at home was because he didn't like that kind of atmosphere.

The kind that clearly dislikes each other and has a lot of private grudges against each other, but still pretends to be friendly on the surface.

He was not sure whether Xu Xiu could get used to such occasions, but he himself hated it.

"By the way, you can also look for Xu Zhen if you have anything."

Xu Zhen is the sister of Xu Qiang and Xu Lan. As the eldest daughter of her uncle Xu Junxiao, Xu Zhen has always been trained as the successor.

Last time, she also came to Yanjing with everyone. After meeting Xu Xiu briefly, she went on a business trip and did not come back until today.

Xu Zhen seems to be a person who is as calm as water and has a stable mood, but according to Xu Lan, she has high standards and requirements in everything she does and is very serious at work.

Noticing Xu Xiu's gaze, Xu Zhen looked at her and smiled gently.

Xu Xiu also smiled back.

She looked at Xia Shuyu who kept giving instructions:

"Don't worry, I understand."

The birthday banquet in the evening would probably be quite stressful, so Xu Xiu and Xiao Douding both got up a little late.

After tidying myself up and having a quick lunch, I went to get my hair done with Xu Lan.

Soon, it was time for the birthday banquet to begin.

After tying his bow tie, Xiao Douding suddenly thought of his father and asked:

"Mom, will Dad come again?"

"Probably so."

Shen Xingyi sent a message last night saying that he was already on the plane.

"Let's go, let's go to the venue first."

Xu Xiu took the little boy's hand, got out of the car, and walked towards the manor where the birthday party was to be held.
