Xu Xiu stood outside the door for a long time, staring at Shen Xingyi's silhouette in a daze.

This past episode was not mentioned much in the plot, so this was the first time she knew about it.

As she listened to Shen Xingyi's description just now, she thought of the little Shen Xingyi who was enduring the beatings from the kidnappers and looking forward to his parents coming to rescue him, and she felt a pang of heartache.

As it happened, Shen Xingyi turned his head and their eyes met.

No one averted their gazes, they just stared at each other quietly.

Shen Xingyi's narrow and long phoenix eyes looked straight at her. The bottom of his dark eyes seemed to contain endless words, and he was like a demon in the deep sea, luring people to fall continuously.

It was as if something invisible was slowly sublimating with the hot mist in the bathroom.

Until the little kid found Xu Xiu.

"Mother."

The little bean shyly shrank back into the bathtub. Xu Xiu also walked into the bathroom and put the little dinosaur pajamas on the shelf.

She didn't look at Shen Xingyi again, but just told the little kid:

"Come out when you're done soaking. Be careful not to catch a cold."

After going out, Xu Xiu drank a whole cup of hot milk to calm down.

Before going to bed, Zhuangzhuang called via video and he and Rongrong wanted to chat with Xiaodouding.

After Xu Xiu greeted Meng Jisi on the other side of the video, the two of them tacitly handed the phone to the three children.

Xu Xiu left the bedroom, looked at Shen Xingyi who was sitting on the sofa, and handed him the freshly heated milk.

"What exactly is going on with today's kidnapping, and who is Zhou Yuhu?"

Xu Xiu finally had the chance to ask about these things now.

After Shen Xingyi thanked him, he took a sip of hot milk:

"Zhou Yuhu is the girl I told you about before, the one Su Yuhe fell in love with in college."

"Did Zhou Yuhu do what happened today?"

Shen Xingyi shook his head:

"Zhou Yuhu committed suicide on the eve of Su Yuhe's wedding."

Xu Xiu was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Then, thinking about what Meng Jisi said in the hospital today, she seemed to understand a little.

"So, it was Zhou Yuhu's parents who kidnapped Xiao Ran?"

"It was Zhou Yuhu's mother and her later boyfriend, the chef."

Zhou Yuhu's mother believed that it was Su Yuhe who forced her daughter to death, so she lay dormant for many years and finally found an opportunity to kidnap several children, wanting Su Yuhe to also taste the pain of losing a child.

However, Xu Xiu reacted too quickly, and Shen Xingyi and the Su family quickly blocked all entrances and exits. They couldn't leave Yanjing at all, and had no choice but to hide in the urban village where Zhou's mother's boyfriend lived.

Xu Xiu was silent for a moment, then asked curiously:

"So if that's the case, then it was indeed Su Yuhe who abandoned Zhou Yuhu?"

Shen Xingyi shook his head:

"Su Yuhe said he never liked Zhou Yuhu and they were never in a relationship."

Xu Xiu thought about the few times he saw Su Yuhe mention Meng Jisi, and it didn't seem like he was full of hatred. So what was going on?

Hearing her curiosity, Shen Xingyi also spoke a little more:

"I never asked specifically what happened back then, but at a certain time, there was a rumor in the school that Zhou Yuhu and Su Yuhe were in love. When the news reached the Su and Meng families, both families were furious."

Although Meng Jisi and Su Yuhe were not officially in a relationship at that time, they got along very well as childhood sweethearts, and they also tacitly agreed to get engaged after graduation.

So the Meng family was very angry and wanted to cancel this verbal agreement.

"But Su Yuhe refused. He insisted on marrying Meng Jisi. Later, the two talked alone once, and then the marriage contract remained as before."

Later, Zhou Yuhu came to make trouble several times and threatened to commit suicide, but Su Yuhe remained unshakable and insisted on getting engaged to Meng Jisi.

In the end, before the two got married, Zhou Yuhu really committed suicide.

"At that time, some people said that Su Yuhe's true love committed suicide and the marriage between the Meng and Su families could not be completed, but unexpectedly, Su Yuhe overcame all objections and made the wedding go on as scheduled."

Xu Xiu was a little confused:

“Is family marriage so important?”

Shen Xingyi explained softly:

"The businesses of the Meng and Su families overlap too much, and it is difficult to separate them. The safest way is for the two families to have one heir, and for the child with the blood of both Meng and Su to inherit all the property. This is the way to benefit everyone."

Xu Xiu seemed to understand something.

It seems that Su Yuhe is determined to get married at all costs.

And from Meng Jisi's perspective, because of Zhou Yuhu's death, he was retaliated by Su Yuhe, and the relationship between the two of them completely reached freezing point.

But when Xu Xiu looked at Su Yuhe's expression, he felt that he also had feelings for Meng Jisi, otherwise his relationship wouldn't be broken like that.

Hearing her confusion, Shen Xingyi smiled:

"Su Yuhe has been indecisive since he was a child. He always looks kind and friendly to everyone."

Xu Xiu quickly responded:

"Central air conditioning? Friend of women?"

Shen Xingyi was startled, then smiled:

"Yes, you can describe it that way."

This makes it difficult for him to refuse other people's requests.

No one knows what happened between him and Zhou Yuhu back then. Maybe there really is some hidden story that others don't know.

But after Zhou Yuhu's death, Su Yuhe continued to support Zhou Yuhu's mother, finding her a job, paying for her medical treatment, and even buying her a house.

So it was inevitable that Meng Jisi would misunderstand.

Perhaps in her opinion, this was evidence that Su Yuhe missed Zhou Yuhu very much, and that was why she went abroad after giving birth to the child.

After listening to the love-hate relationship between the two, Xu Xiu sighed silently.

Now that Zhou Yuhu's mother and the chef have been put in prison, it seems that they will never have a chance to get out again.

At night, Xu Xiu leaned against the head of the bed and told the little kid a bedtime story. After she finished, the little kid was not sleepy, so she carefully asked about the kidnapping incident.

She was afraid that the little kid still had fear hidden deep in his heart, so she praised him in a roundabout way:

"Baby, you are really amazing. You can find the right time to call your mother for help."

After hearing his mother's praise, Xiao Douding smiled shyly and scratched his head:

"That bad uncle was so stupid, so I called mom right away when he wasn't paying attention!"

Xu Xiu was horrified when he heard this, but he still slowly guided him to tell the whole process. Seeing that there was really nothing special that he was afraid to mention or that had traumatized him, he finally slowly put his mind at ease.

"Go to sleep, mom will be with you tonight."

Xu Xiu coaxed him softly, and the little kid slowly closed his eyes.

Shen Xingyi, who was outside the door, watched this scene, and the tranquility in his heart seemed to slowly expand.

He leaned against the wall, listening to Xu Xiu's gentle soothing voice coaxing him to sleep, and suddenly he began to look less at that experience in his childhood.

Xu Xiu said thank you for saving Xiao Rang, but wasn’t Xiao Rang also his salvation?

*

Not many people knew that Xiaodouding had been kidnapped. Even Shen's mother and father didn't know about it until the next day.

But that night, a man also guessed that an accident would happen.

The Shen family's news is kept secret, but there are always some details that can allow those who are interested to speculate.

Ji Zhirun's subordinates come from all walks of life, so he has many sources of information.

He listened to his men's reports, slowly piecing together some things, and his interest grew.
