Back to my parents when I was seventeen

When Shen Yubai returned home, Sang Menglan was watching TV in the living room.

Hearing the noise, she turned back to look at him, "Come back——"

Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, Sang Menglan saw the little doll in his hand that did not match his image at all. She raised her eyebrows and was a little bit unbelievable, "What is this?"

Shen Yubai raised his eyes: "Not obvious?"

Sang Menglan: "I mean, why would you buy something like this?"

"I didn't buy it." Shen Yubai said, "It was given to me by someone else."

When he said this, there was a faint smile on his face.

Sang Menglan paused, thinking of the series of things that happened when he went out some time ago, and guessed: "Was it given by a girl?"

Shen Yubai hummed, walked over to sit next to her, "Is she cute?"

"..." Sang Menglan looked down at the ugly doll and said against her will, "It's quite cute."

She was silent for a few seconds, then asked curiously, "Is it your classmate whose family runs a restaurant?"

Shen Yubai tilted his head, "Mom."

Sang Menglan responded with a smile, "Mom, I'm just asking casually, I'm not going to do anything."

She glared at him and said, "Don't you think your mother is like those vicious women on TV? Once she knows who it is, she will warn the other person to stay away from my son?"

Hearing this, Shen Yubai raised his hand and touched his nose, saying awkwardly, "That's not what I meant."

Sang Menglan snorted and didn't really want to pay attention to him.

After a moment of silence, Sang Menglan suddenly became curious, "I'm actually a little curious about what kind of girl she is."

Shen Yubai paused for a moment and said in silence, "I don't know how to say it."

"Is it beautiful?" Sang Menglan asked.

Shen Yubai nodded: "Beautiful."

"Do you have any photos?" Sang Menglan asked, "Would it be convenient for you to show them to your mother?"

Shen Yubai hesitated.

Sang Menglan quickly raised her hand and swore, "I promise, I won't bother her. You are still high school students, what can I do?"

She believed that Shen Yubai would not do anything.

After thinking for a few seconds, Shen Yubai stood up and went to get the camera.

When in Pingning, Shen Yubai brought a camera with him. It was the camera he wanted to give to Xu Chuning, but she refused.

The group took a lot of photos while in Pingning.

Among them were many solo photos that Xu Chuning herself didn’t know about. They were taken by Shen Yubai selfishly, and he didn’t tell her.

He handed the camera to Sang Menglan, and she started watching from the beginning.

The first photo was a photo of Xu Chuning's profile. When she saw the profile, Sang Menglan subconsciously said, "This profile... looks a little familiar."

Shen Yubai paused, then looked up at her, "Why do you look familiar?"

Sang Menglan shook her head: "I can't tell you right now."

Shen Yubai: "..."

When Sang Menglan continued to look back, flipping through the pictures one by one, she came across a picture of Xu Chuning's face that Shen Yubai had secretly taken. Sang Menglan frowned and said, "Why does this girl look so much like your Aunt Ye when she was young?"

"?"

After hearing what Sang Menglan said, Shen Yubai stood up from the sofa abruptly, "Mom."

Sang Menglan: “What?”

She was a little scared by Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai stared at her with a serious look, "What did you just say?"

Sang Menglan: “Ah?”

"Please repeat what you just said." Shen Yubai asked.

Sang Menglan was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, and repeated what she had just said word for word. After she finished speaking, she observed Shen Yubai's expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Yubai didn't say anything.

Sang Menglan followed his line of sight and glanced at the girl in the camera again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Did I scare you by saying that she looks like your Aunt Ye when she was young?"

She didn't think much about it and said softly, "There are actually quite a few people in this world who look like you, but I didn't expect your classmate—"

Before she could finish her next words, Shen Yubai interrupted her, "Mom."

Shen Yubai lowered his eyes and looked at Sang Menglan: "Let me ask you a question."

Sang Menglan: "You say."

Shen Yubai: "Would you feel resistance towards an elder you don't know the first time or the second time you meet him?" He simply explained, "It means you hate him, don't like him, and avoid him."

"..." Sang Menglan was a little confused, "Has the other party ever offended me?"

"You don't know him." Shen Yubai emphasized.

Sang Menglan frowned, "Then why should I hate him? I don't even know him, so I should treat him as a stranger."

I won’t look at them for too long, and I won’t say much to them.

Shen Yubai was stunned. Yes, he always felt that Xu Chuning's attitude when she saw Xu Yiming and when Xu Yiming took the initiative to talk to her was very different from usual.

Before, Shen Yubai was wondering if there was any conflict between Xu Chuning and Xu Yiming that he didn't know about. If not, she shouldn't have had that attitude when she saw Xu Yiming.

Combined with Shen Sinian's dislike for Xu Zhiyan, Shen Yubai analyzed it carefully, but he just didn't think about it in this direction.

It was not until this moment that he suddenly understood the reasons why Xu Chuning was acting weird and why Shen Sinian targeted Xu Zhiyan.

If he guessed correctly, Xu Chu Ning should have known about his relationship with Xu Yiming a long time ago.

"Yubai." Sang Menglan observed Shen Yubai's complicated expression and frowned, "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yubai raised his eyes and looked at her clearly, "Mom, do you think Xu Zhiyan looks like Uncle Xu and Aunt Ye?"

Sang Menglan was stunned, her eyes widened as she asked him, "What do you mean by that?"

After she asked, she lowered her head to look at the girl in the camera, "You are not..." She didn't say the rest of the sentence, but said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

Shen Yubai was calmer than Sang Menglan, "What if?"

He pointed at Xu Chuning in the camera and asked Sang Menglan, "You yourself said that she looks like Aunt Ye when she was young, right?"

Sang Menglan was speechless, "But this world is so big, there are actually many people who look similar."

"But so far, we should have only encountered this one." Shen Yubai reminded.

Suddenly, he remembered the photo he had seen in Pingning.

When Xu Chuning was young, he was pale and thin. He was puzzled when he saw him, but before he could ask more questions, Xu Chuning called him away.

I guess she was afraid that he would find out what she was doing?

Thinking of this, Shen Yubai looked at Sang Menglan, "Mom, please watch first. I'll go call Shen Sinian."

Sang Menglan cried out, but before she could ask him what he wanted to do by calling Shen Sinian, Shen Yubai had already strode upstairs.

When Shen Yubai called, Shen Sinian had just finished filming a scene and was resting on the side waiting for the next one.

The assistant took his phone and said, "Si Nian, Shen Yubai called you."

Shen Sinian told his assistant that any calls from Shen Sinian, Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen should be told to him as long as he was not filming.

Therefore, he quickly picked up the phone: "Hello."

Shen Sinian was surprised, "Why did you call me today? Did something happen to Ningning?"

Generally speaking, Shen Yubai doesn't call him.

Shen Yubai stood on the balcony of the room, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, are Xu Chuning and Aunt You not related by blood?"

"..."
