half thorns, half joy

Tang Xuan and Zhao Suizhi sat on the bamboo chairs in the corridor, Zhao Suizhi looked at Tang Xuan warily, his face was full of vigilance.

Not far from the two of them, the nanny was standing against the wall, also looking vigilant.

Only Tang Xuan was relatively relaxed.

Tang Xuan took a deep breath, and calmly met Zhao Suizhi's unfriendly gaze, "Zihan and I have obtained a certificate and got married. Although the wedding is not over yet, logically speaking, I should call you mom."

"Farewell, I can't afford it." Zhao Suizhi interrupted mercilessly.

Tang Xuan smiled helplessly, and nodded, "You don't like to hear it, and I don't want to make it uncomfortable. I haven't called you mom for many years, so it feels weird to call her so suddenly."

"Humph."

"But, I have to call you that." Tang Xuan was extremely serious, "You are Zihan's mother, and I am Zihan's wife, so you are my mother."

Zhao Suizhi's face showed disdain, and his eyes swept to the other side.

Tang Xuan didn't care, and continued, "Mom, you are here to see the baby. Can I understand that you accepted the baby?"

"My grandson is my grandson, and you are you. I accept him, but it doesn't mean I accept you." Zhao Suizhi looked directly at Tang Xuan again, "Don't be delusional, I will never accept you into our life. The Xiao family."

Tang Xuan shrugged embarrassingly, "Well, I also thought of what you would say. I don't care if you don't accept me. I don't want to argue about this."

Zhao Suizhi sneered, "It's best if you know yourself."

Tang Xuan automatically ignored the maliciousness in Zhao Suizhi's words, and said with a smile, "What I want to talk to you today has nothing to do with me. I want to talk to you about Quan Han and the baby."

Hearing these two concerned people, Zhao Suizhi immediately sat up straight nervously.

"You have also seen that Zihan is still recovering. He is already very tired from dealing with business affairs every day and cannot bear other stimuli. I want to discuss with you. I hope you will not vent your anger on me in front of him in the future. No matter how much you hate me, don't make it too obvious in front of him, and don't make things difficult for him."

Zhao Suizhi narrowed his eyes, "You ordered me?"

Tang Xuan smiled and shook her head, "Of course not, I'm discussing with you. In exchange, I allow you to come and see the baby at any time. You can hug or coax him however you want, and I won't interfere."

"Joke, he is my grandson, I still need your permission to come to see him?" Zhao Suizhi sneered, "Tang Xuan, you really think you are the mistress of this family, don't you?"

Tang Xuan suppressed the smile on her face, and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter whether I am the hostess or not, the important thing is that if I don't let you see the baby, I guarantee that you will never see him, so don't say anything. Touch him and hug him."

"Tang Xuan!"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it." Tang Xuan's tone was very firm, "I don't ask much, I don't even ask you to give me a good face, my only request is that you stop torturing Zihan, It's really not easy for him to support the family alone."

Zhao Suizhi stared closely at Tang Xuan's eyes, as if to check whether Tang Xuan was lying.

Tang Xuan looked at each other generously and calmly. She has experienced life and death. She is not afraid of Zhao Suizhi's scrutiny because she is not guilty.

She is totally telling the truth.

Seeing that Zhao Suizhi didn't answer for a long time, and Tang Xuan didn't press her, she stood up and said to Zhao Suizhi, "You can go back and think about it. When you come over next time, you should treat Zihan better."

"Wait." Zhao Suizhi stopped Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan stopped and looked at Zhao Suizhi.

Zhao Suizhi also stood up. She looked at Tang Xuan suspiciously, "Don't you ask for something for yourself?"

"Me?" Tang Xuan was stunned, then smiled, "I'm not important, as long as Zihan and Baobao are well, I'll be happy."

Zhao Suizhi obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Xuan didn't intend to explain to herself either. She thought for a while and said to Zhao Suizhi, "As a wife and mother, don't you just want your husband and children to be well? You must have experienced this feeling before. I I heard from Zihan that when he was young, you doted on him very much."

"..." Zhao Suizhi opened his mouth, unable to say a word.Tang Xuan's last words pierced her heart, and her heart suddenly felt sour.

Tang Xuan didn't stay any longer, she nodded to Zhao Suizhi politely, and went back to Xiao Zihan's bedroom.

Xiao Zihan is about to wake up, she has to go and see.

Zhao Suizhi stood on the spot for a long time before he staggered away.

She thought of the Xiao family in the past, the young and ambitious Xiao Mingyuan, and her who didn't need expensive skin care products.

At that time, the Xiao family's power was not as strong as it is today, and she was not the revered and respected Mrs. Xiao.

At that time, the two happiest things for her every day were to pick Xiao Zihan up from school and listen to Xiao Zihan talk about school affairs, and the second was to wait for Xiao Mingyuan to come home from get off work, and the family sat at the same table for dinner.

Those laughing voices seemed to be still echoing in my ears, so clear and so heart-warming.

The corners of Zhao Suizhi's eyes were moist, she closed her eyes and let out a long sigh.

The first time she saw Tang Xuan, she felt that Tang Xuan was familiar. She felt that Tang Xuan resembled her in some ways. Looking at it now, she was indeed right.

As Xiao Mingyuan's wife, Zhao Suizhi has seen quite a few girls, who are delicate, willful, and scheming. As a person who has lived half her life, she can see through those girls at a glance.

Of course, she could also tell that Tang Xuan really liked Xiao Zihan, even more than she liked Xiao Mingyuan back then.

But Zhao Suizhi still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, she was not Xiao Zihan, she had no feelings for Tang Xuan, Tang Xuan's liking for Xiao Zihan, Tang Xuan's kindness could not offset Tang Xuan's deception to the Xiao family.

As long as she saw Tang Xuan, she would think of Xiao Mingyuan who was still in prison. When she thought that Tang Xuan had directly caused Xiao Mingyuan to suffer in prison, she could not resist beating Tang Xuan, that was her limit.

Let her give Tang Xuan a good face?

That's simply not possible.

……

Xiao Zihan slowly opened his eyes. He saw Tang Xuan who was sitting by the bed. He reached out to hold Tang Xuan's hand and asked, "Where's my mother?"

"Let's go." Tang Xuan replied with a sweet smile, "She went to see the baby earlier, and played with the baby for a while."

"She didn't bother you?"

"No."

"Really?" Xiao Zihan obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Xuan laughed, "Look at what you said, I didn't do anything, why is she bothering me? Besides, she was too busy playing with the baby and didn't care about me."

Seeing that the smile on Tang Xuan's face didn't look fake, Xiao Zihan breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that she likes the baby quite a lot."

Tang Xuan nodded, "Well, after all, we are relatives from generation to generation."

"Thank you." Xiao Zihan squeezed Tang Xuan's hand tightly, "I'm sorry for putting you between me and my mother, and depending on my mother's face."

Tang Xuan was surprised, "Why are you apologizing? Could it be that you are caught between me and your mother, making it difficult for you?"

Xiao Zihan shook his head, "I... I'm used to it. My mother has been like this for more than a year, and I'm used to it."

Hearing what Xiao Zihan said, Tang Xuan's heart ached very much. Xiao Zihan had a self-digesting personality and rarely talked about his hard work, but the more he was like this, the more Tang Xuan felt distressed.

Tang Xuan knew that she couldn't directly tell Xiao Zihan what she discussed with Zhao Suizhi, she thought about it, and said tactfully, "Zihan, I don't think you need to worry too much, your mother likes babies, she should be able to cheer up slowly. of."

"……Um."

"Really, you have to believe in our baby, you will impress her with your cuteness."

Hearing Tang Xuan's description, Xiao Zihan burst out laughing. After laughing, he propped himself up on the bed and sat up, "I also want to go see the baby. I haven't seen him for a long time. I miss him."

"Let me help you go." Tang Xuan knelt down and grabbed the slippers for Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan got out of bed, and as if thinking of something, he asked Tang Xuan, "By the way, you went to Jinyu's place today, how is it going?"

Tang Xuan supported Xiao Zihan, and replied as she walked, "Cai Lin and Cai Jinyu have reconciled, but I'm still a little worried."

"What are you worried about?" Xiao Zihan wondered.

Tang Xuan told Xiao Zihan truthfully, "I'm worried about Jinyu. I was talking to Linlin today. From Linlin's tone, she must have fallen in love with that Deng Langyue."

"What did you say?" Even Xiao Zihan was shocked.
