"Xiao Xu, I'm really sorry. Auntie took the initiative to let you stay overnight without making adequate preparations. How about you and Xiao Mian stay in the same room today?"

Chapter 256: Assisting at All Means

Zhong Xiaomian's mother Ge Zhi has a magical ability.

That is, after she has chosen the beginning and the end of something, no matter how outrageous the process in between is, she can easily rationalize it.

For example, they had clearly agreed to just have a quick meal together and chat about Xu Qiubai's recent "research progress", but it somehow turned into a walk around the area after dinner.

It was obviously not too late and it would be convenient to take a taxi back to school, but Ge Zhi asked Xu Qiubai to stay the night here on the grounds that the traffic conditions were bad recently and drivers often had problems driving at night.

Even though there were so many hotels nearby, Ge Zhi insisted that Xu Qiubai stay at her house tonight.

Then when it was almost time to rest, Ge Zhi suddenly came out and said that there was a problem with the guest room and it could not be occupied that night. Since there were only three rooms in the house, Zhong Xiaomian and she had to make do for the night.

Xu Qiubai just wanted to say something when Ge Zhi played her last trump card.

"Then let's put it this way. Auntie will go to work tonight to get by."

Just as she reached the door, Ge Zhi held her forehead and almost fell to the ground.

After such a performance, there was no way Xu Qiubai would let her go out.

"Xiao Xu is really considerate. Auntie is indeed old and not as good as she was when she was young.

Actually, Xiaomian and I could have slept together, but she likes to move around when she sleeps, and my aunt has a light sleep.

Actually it’s okay. I’ll prepare two quilts for you.

......"

From the moment she entered the house, Zhong Xiaomian was shocked by her mother's shock and went into standby mode.

The only responses are “Yeah”, “Okay”, “I see…”

Whatever my mother says is what it is.

It is worth mentioning that the menu for dinner includes a large amount of oysters and sea cucumbers.

Even before Ge Zhi went to take a bath, she specially made a cup of health tea with a lot of wolfberries for Xu Qiubai.

Not to mention Zhong Xiaomian, Xu Qiubai was also exhausted.

But he still chose to drink that glass, and at the same time began to look around the house where Ge Zhi lived, which looked quite new.

Xu Qiubai chose to help Zhong Xiaomian in this way, on the one hand because he had a close relationship with her, but on the other hand, he was really interested in exploring this family's story.

Especially after Yingqi deciphered that there was definitely a secret code system in the illustrated book.

"Xiao Mian, this house looks like it has only been renovated for a short time?"

After hearing these words, Zhong Xiaomian finally came back to her senses.

"Yes...ah, but I bought it a long time ago and only renovated it the year before last."

"What about the mortgage?"

"Well... Dad has paid it back."

"what."

Xu Qiubai was a little shocked, because the location of this community is quite good and the houses here are naturally very expensive.

Even if you buy it at the price it was more than ten years ago, it would still be a considerable sum of money.

From what Zhong Xiaomian said, it seemed that the mortgage of this house was paid by Zhong Nanyi alone.

"Would it be convenient to ask about the division of property at that time?"

Xu Qiubai asked.

"Well...there was no debate. Dad took the initiative to leave the house because my custody was given to Mom."

Speaking of this, Zhong Xiaomian seemed to feel a little heartbroken.

Not only will you be forced to leave the house with nothing, but you will also have to continue to pay off the mortgage. This...

Xu Qiubai didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then Ge Zhi has quite a lot of assets under her name...

"Later, my mother invested in that beauty salon and became a shareholder, but it seemed to have been losing money over the years and didn't make much money. My living expenses have always been paid by my father."

This is a bit too great.

"Perhaps it was because of Dad's attitude that made Mom feel that he must have a big secret. That's why Mom has been upset for so many years and has always wanted to find out the truth. But I feel..."

"There's nothing to hide, right?"

Zhong Xiaomian seemed to agree.

After several seconds:

"He is actually a very pure person, who devotes his whole heart to his research, and is very similar to...Sister Huo Huo."

“It seems like you’re mentioning all this for the first time.”

"That's because... when you're not around, I don't dare to think about these things... for fear that I might accidentally say them out loud one day."

"You are really an amazing person... You can actually make Mom start to let go..."

This is Zhong Xiaomian's heartfelt feeling.

"It's even more strange that someone like my dad would marry someone else and have children..."

As soon as Ge Zhi came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Zhong Xiaomian immediately shut up.

"Xiao Mian, go take a shower too. It's getting late."

"it is good--"

Zhong Xiaomian went there with her pajamas.

Ge Zhi chatted with Xu Qiubai in the living room for a while. The topics they talked about were all about Xu Qiubai's daily life, and there was no mention of Zhong Nanyi at all.

Not long after, Zhong Xiaomian's voice came from the bathroom:

"Mom, do you have any other pajamas? This one is too thin...it will be cold."

She seldom comes here to live, so she doesn't leave her clothes for each season here.

"I'll get into bed soon, how cold can it be?"

Ge Zhi disagreed and urged Zhong Xiaomian to come out quickly to let Xu Qiubai take a bath.

"Then...can you help me get my coat..."

There was a hint of shame and embarrassment in Zhong Xiaomian's voice.

"Hurry up, it's just a few steps, is it necessary?"

Xu Qiubai couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Aunt Ge, let me get some clothes for Xiao Mian. It's a bit cold."

"Alas, Xiao Xu, you just spoiled her too much. She has been a very pretentious child since she was young."

"Everyone has their moments of being hypocritical, Aunt Ge."

Xu Qiubai took Zhong Xiaomian's coat.

Zhong Xiaomian wrapped herself tightly before coming out of the bathroom. Her wet hair was tied into a ball, and her calves were still covered with a lot of water droplets.

"Don't look at it..."

Zhong Xiaomian lowered her voice and kicked Xu Qiubai's slippers.

"Let's go to the room."

"Wait a minute!"

"what?"

"Don't go in yet..."

Zhong Xiaomian ran to the side, got a small clothes basket, stuffed her clothes into it before letting Xu Qiubai enter the bathroom.

Finally, when she finished her work and Xu Qiubai closed the door and was about to take a shower, he unexpectedly found a pair of dirty socks in the corner of the bathroom.

This is... Zhong Xiaomian’s socks, right?

Xu Qiubai hesitated for a second, but finally couldn't help but squat down and take a look.

Pure white socks, clean and simple. Xu Qiubai had seen them in Zhong Xiaomian’s dormitory.

It's not a good idea to throw it on the ground. There are a lot of water spots on it.

Just as Xu Qiubai was about to help her pick it up and put it somewhere out of the water, there was a knock on the bathroom door.

"what happened?"

"Have you... taken off your clothes...?"

It’s Zhong Xiaomian, not Ge Zhi.

"Yeah, just took it off."

"what..."

Zhong Xiaomian sounded very embarrassed.

"Can you help me kick the socks off the floor..."
