In the end, Su Qingbai was sent back home by Jiang Mao.
At first he didn"t want Jiang Mao to send him back, but Jiang Mao looked at him sideways and said with a little grievance, “The reason why I didn"t drop a visit is because I respect your reluctance. I already knew where your house is.” So you don"t have to hide it and keep me from knowing where your home is?
Su Qingbai shrunk his neck and tightened his lips. He felt very guilty that he couldn"t give Jiang Mao a status for the time being. He didn"t know what to say anymore, only obediently followed Jiang Mao to the carriage that Hu Hong had led by.
The carriage looked very crude from the outside, almost the same as those ordinary carriages in the street. The only difference was that it was a little bigger than those ordinary carriages.
Su Qingbai opened the curtain and went in, then his eyes widened. From the outside, it looked very simple, but there was not any hole in it.
The door was quite large and when he pa.s.sed by Jiang Mao, Jiang Mao suddenly reached out and grabbed him. Su Qingbai abruptly fell inwards and into Jiang Mao"s arms.
Originally Jiang Mao was thinking of finding someone random to drive the carriage, but after taking into consideration that Jiang Mao had been going through an attempt a.s.sa.s.sination recently, Hu Hong was not at eased; so he must follow Jiang Mao.
Jiang Mao allowed him without much entanglement.
Reclining in the carriage, Jiang Mao held Su Qingbai in his arms and suddenly thought of something, “Let"s settle your family as soon as possible, then I"ll bring you to meet my… Consort Mother.”
His Consort Mother, Consort Lou, was the mother of this body of his. At the beginning of when he came at this time, he was very watchful and reverent when he met with Consort Lou, fearing that the mother would find a replacement in her son"s sh.e.l.l. But later, he found that his worries were superfluous. Consort Lou was devoted to Buddha, and did not care about anything except chanting sutras. She was indifferent to her only son and paid little attention to his son"s affairs. On weekdays in Yue w.a.n.g Residence, there was almost no sense of her existence.
Jiang Mao almost forgot this person.
Su Qingbai was nervous when he heard the words. He had forgotten that there was still Jiang Mao"s mother to inform.
Considering his previous bad reputation, Su Qingbai was worried that Jiang Mao"s mother would not like him.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Su Qingbai"s temporary residence village. Su Qingbai shouted at Hu Hong to stop and refused to let him go any further.
“Just send me here!”
Jiang Mao looked at him as if he was saying fine, then he nodded and helped Su Qingbai out of the carriage.
After sending off Su Qingbai into the village, Jiang Mao brought Hu Hong to follow behind until they saw Su Qingbai stop at the door of a house.
After seeing Su Qingbai going in, Jiang Mao said, “Turns out, Su Family lives here. The house is not bad!”
Hu Hong, standing beside him wanted to say: Didn"t you say you already know where your wife"s home is? How can you look like it is your first visit moment?
Hu Hong kept silent; Jiang Mao didn"t know what he was thinking. Jiang Mao fixed himself on the spot and took a few more glances, remembering the location of Su Qingbai"s house. Then he turned around and left.
Where Jiang Mao could not hear, the person who saw Su Qingbai came into the door hurried to call him, “Qingbai, when you weren"t home, I borrowed your cart from Uncle Su yesterday. I"m about to send it back to you now.”
Su Qingbai walked in and laughed, “Brother Su Ning, I"ll just take it back myself.”
Su Ning was a little embarra.s.sed, but did not care too much about it. He grabbed a handful of tiny fruits which name could not be called out to give to Su Qingbai before handing him the cart.
When he got back, the whole family was there, and the atmosphere was heavy.
When his mother saw him, she wiped her tears and only after she saw him return without incident that she let him go to talk to his father. His Dad watched him heavily in silent. Su Qingbai almost felt that his father was going to beat him.
“Teacher, Qingbai"s back. You all should go and have a rest.” Zhang Su stood up in due time.
Su Qingbai felt quite odd to see his family leave just like that. He ran without saying anything and did not come back for two days. When he came back, they didn"t ask anything?
Zhang Su patted him on the shoulder. “Heh heh, how should you thank me? I helped you lie to Teacher that you went to town and didn"t come back because a friend had something to ask help from you.” Zhang Su couldn"t stand in the central room and say who had specifically asked help in a hurry and how to help.
“No wonder.” Su Qingbai was relieved. But despite that, his Dad did not say a word to him; his Dad probably did not believe Zhang Su"s words.
Following Su Qingbai to Su Qingbai"s room, Zhang Su kept talking all the way. “But I see your family obviously didn"t know what you and Yue w.a.n.g are on friendly term.” Speaking of Yue w.a.n.g, Zhang Su had a new question, “By the way, what happened to Yue w.a.n.g, is he really…?”
Su Qingbai thanked him, but did not dare to leak the least bit of Jiang Mao"s information to Zhang Su, fearing that people would know if he was careless, and Jiang Mao would be in trouble again.
Upon seeing Su Qingbai was calm and collected appearance now, compared to Su Qingbai"s anxious look when he got the news, Zhang Su guessed, “Yue w.a.n.g is not dead?”
At this time, they arrived at Su Qingbai"s bedroom. As soon as Su Qingbai lifted his foot to come in, Su Caicai woke up when he heard footsteps. He grunted to sit up. As soon as he saw Su Qingbai coming in, he wanted to crawl down the heated brick bed.
Su Qingbai hurried to pick him up, afraid of him falling to the ground.
In Su Qingbai"s bosom, Su Caicai let out tears of grievance, and his small hands went to embrace Su Qingbai"s neck, but because his arms were too short, he only caught Su Qingbai"s hair, “Da…” This Dad call was very grieving.
That"s right, he had never been away from Su Qingbai for so long as two days.
Su Qingbai took Caicai in his arms, patted him on the back in heartache, and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from Caicai"s meaty face. “Good darling, don"t cry. Dad is back.”
Afterwards, Su Caicai stuck to Su Qingbai all day long, refused to let others hold him, and insisted on Su Qingbai holding him.
