In the days since the Hu family gathering ended, Hu's mother has been thinking about her son's divorce.

She thought to herself that she should try to win over her eldest grandson. So she had Hu Qiaosheng drive her straight to Bai Xi's rented apartment.

When she arrived, Yang Zhi had just gotten off work and was returning home. He was quite surprised to see the two of them standing downstairs.

I wondered if they missed their child and came to see him.

So Yang Zhi quickly stepped forward and greeted them very politely: "Auntie, Sister Hu, what brings you here...?"

Hearing the voice, Hu Ma turned around and saw that it was her grandson's adoptive father. She quickly responded warmly.

"Oh, it's Mingpeng's adoptive father. You just got back from get off work?"

"Yes, I just got off work. You're here to see the kids, right?"

Hu's mother felt a little embarrassed. She hadn't seen the child for several months, and her sudden appearance, especially to fight for the child, was indeed quite awkward.

But since they'd already asked, it wouldn't be good not to answer, so I could only say, "...Hehe, yes, we just came to see the kids. Aren't they home right now?"

"Yes, he's on summer vacation now, and I've been busy, so his mother has been taking care of him lately."

Yang Zhi knew perfectly well that they weren't just there to see the children; they were most likely there for something related to them.

After all, there had been no activity for the past two months, so this sudden appearance must mean something bad.

Did they know that Hu Qiaosheng and Bai Xi had divorced, and then they wanted to take the child away?

He needed to figure out how to deal with them later. You see, now, not to mention him, even Bai Xi would definitely not want her child to be taken away.

The three of them went up to the third floor and knocked on Bai Xi's door.

Bai Xi thought it was Yang Zhi coming home from get off work, so she called her son to open the door.

Mingpeng responded crisply, "Okay!"

Then she happily ran to open the door, while Bai Xi was still busy in the kitchen.

When Mingpeng opened the door and saw that it wasn't his father, he remembered clearly that his mother had said not to open the door to strangers, so he quickly closed the door again.

Hu Qiaosheng stared blankly at the door that had closed again.

The three of them looked at each other.

A little embarrassed, Hu's mother quickly changed the subject, asking Yang Zhi, "Isn't your house across the hall? Why are you also here waiting for the door to open?"

"My son is here. I'm back, so I have to come and see him first."

Aunt Hu: "...Oh."

After Mingpeng closed the door, he ran to the kitchen and said to his mother, "Mom, the person who opened the door wasn't Dad, it was a stranger."

Upon hearing her son's words, Bai Xi turned off the stove and rinsed her hands under the tap.

She pulled her son to sit on the sofa in the living room and said, "He's a stranger. You sit here for a while, and Mom will go and see him."

"Okay, Mom." Knowing that it wasn't his father at the door, he wasn't so curious anymore.

Bai Xi opened the door and was quite surprised to see her former mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She asked Hu Ma, "Auntie, what brings you and Sister Hu here?"

When she heard Bai Xi call her "Auntie," Hu Ma was taken aback; she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

She coughed lightly, and thinking of the purpose of her visit, she felt a little guilty, but still said, "We just came to see the child and to chat with you about the child."

Bai Xi knew they didn't have good intentions, but she still opened the door and let them in.

I asked them to sit down at the table and said directly, "Just tell me what's on your mind."

Hu Qiaosheng was unsure how to bring up the topic of child custody, as she was hesitant to ask directly.

Aunt Hu is very open and straightforward; she says whatever comes to mind.

"We're here to talk to you about the custody of Mingpeng."

Before Bai Xi could reply, he started belittling her with the same language he used before, "Look at you now, no job, no house, and your financial situation is not as good as ours. How are you going to support the child?"

“Kids these days are so pampered, everything costs money. If you don’t have the financial means, would you dare to raise a child? So it’s the most suitable thing for us to raise the child. Our family can provide him with the best conditions in all aspects, so that he can grow up without any burden.”

"We're talking to you because we want to resolve this peacefully. If it escalates to the point of litigation, you don't have much of a chance of winning."

Hu Ma got straight to the point from the start. She knew her former daughter-in-law was straightforward and never beat around the bush.

If she doesn't understand, she'll just start cursing.

Bai Xi watched as Hu Ma spoke eloquently, making her seem utterly worthless, and all of her shortcomings were ignored.

She wasn't angry, but suddenly asked her, "Does Auntie still remember Uncle Liao who used to live next door to your house?"

When Hu Ma heard her suddenly mention an unrelated person, she didn't react for a moment and was a little confused.

"We're talking about child custody right now, where did you get this idea?"

"Mom, you really don't remember Uncle Liao? You mean... the one next door to your house?"

As if remembering something, Aunt Hu's expression suddenly changed, and her gaze towards Bai Xi became stern.

She quickly said to Hu Qiaosheng, "Qiaosheng, take the child and the child's adoptive father out and give Bai Xi and me some space."

Hu Qiaosheng responded, and Yang Zhi tactfully went out. Hu Qiaosheng took the child out to buy snacks.

After the three of them left, Aunt Hu's expression immediately changed. "What do you know?"

"Don't worry about what I know. I've never told anyone before, and I never will."

"Of course, children are best with their mothers. You're a mother too, and you have a son. Put yourself in her shoes. If your Hu Qiaosheng left you when he was so young, would you be willing to let him go?"

"We're all mothers, we need to be considerate of each other."

Looking at her former daughter-in-law whom she had previously looked down upon, Hu Ma suddenly realized that she had underestimated her. This quiet girl seemed to know quite a lot of gossip.

She looked at her more closely and noticed that her hair was casually clipped back with a few strands falling across her forehead, giving her a look that was both languid and feminine.

Her eyes were bright and expressive, her skin was delicate and smooth like silk, and she had a slender and graceful figure. In particular, her full and rounded breasts were so captivating that it was impossible to look away.

She looked radiant and unlike before when she was exhausted, had sallow skin, and looked dejected.

She looks beautiful and charming now. It seems that she is doing better after the divorce than before. It is her son who has ruined her life.

Of course! The Bai Xi of the past put too much pressure on herself and had a strong sense of self-esteem. She only thought about making money to buy a house all day long. She was too proud to rely on the Hu family and wanted to give her children a better life.

But now she has no pressure. She has everything her child needs, and she has savings, so she doesn't have to worry about buying a house.

When you relax completely, you recover from your previous sleep deprivation. With better sleep, you won't look tired or listless.
