Chapter 694 Face it together
When Xue'er returned home, Bai Chen had not come back yet. He must have been very busy today! Xue'er sat on the sofa thinking about her mother's situation, so much so that she didn't even notice Bai Chen opening the door and entering the house.
As soon as Bai Chen got home, he saw his wife sitting on the sofa in a daze. He thought that he did not answer her call today, and he was really too busy today. He had a very difficult operation to perform, so he had no time and energy to fiddle with his mobile phone. It was not until he finished the operation that he saw Xueer's call. At this time, he was about to get off work, so he did not call back.
Bai Chen walked behind Xue'er. She still didn't respond. Bai Chen stroked the top of Xue'er's head and said softly, "Baby, are you really angry?"
Xue'er felt the warmth of Bai Chen's hand and came back to her senses. She said, "You're back, why should I be angry?"
"I've been back for a long time, but you still ignore me." Bai Chen said resentfully.
"No, I was thinking about something and didn't notice when you came back. Sorry!" Xueer explained.
"What's the matter that makes Xue'er think so devotedly? Tell your husband about it too." Bai Chen said.
Xue'er looked at Bai Chen. Her nervousness today finally found an outlet. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Something happened to my mother."
"What's wrong? Be good and don't cry. Your husband is here. Come on, I'll accompany you to see your mother-in-law!" Bai Chen coaxed Xue'er softly. He was most afraid of seeing Xue'er's tears. He felt distressed.
"Today, the nursing home called and said that my mother was always out these days. They thought she came to see me, so I went to the nursing home because I was worried. But today, not only did my mother go out, she also called me to ask for money. I suspect my mother was cheated..." Xueer told Bai Chen what happened today.
Bai Chen frowned after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is mom going home tonight?"
"Yes, she did. Fortunately, she went back. I told the dean not to let her go out in the future. But I was really scared at that time. I didn't give him any money. I was really worried that my mother would be harmed by bad people." Xueer said.
"Baby, you did the right thing. It's good that mom is back. Don't be afraid, I will find a way. You called me today about this, right?" Bai Chen praised Xue'er.
"Well, I know you didn't answer it because you had surgery!" Xueer said.
"Well, I'm sorry, baby, for letting you face it alone." Bai Chen said. He really felt sorry for Xue'er.
"My mother asked for 500,000 today. I said I would come back to discuss it with you, and she asked me to give her an answer tomorrow." Xueer said again.
"Did Mom tell me what the money is for?" Bai Chen asked.
"She just said that one of her friend's family had an accident and needed a lot of money to get through the difficult times, and she wanted to help. Even a social newbie like me would think that he was trying to cheat her out of her money, but she believed it," said Xueer.
"Well, my Xue'er is very smart now. She is not a rookie in society. Now that mom is back, she will cut off their contact. You will be fine in the future." Bai Chen analyzed.
"Yes, but I'm worried that my mother will have a relapse because of such a small thing. You know her past situation." Xue'er said worriedly. In fact, she didn't care about the money. The main reason was that her mother's depression had almost recovered. It would be bad if she was stimulated by this incident and something happened again.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. How about this, let's go see mom tomorrow, okay? We'll take a look at the situation and then think of a solution." Bai Chen suggested.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and go tomorrow." Xue'er echoed.
In this way, with Bai Chen's support, Xue'er felt much calmer. She looked forward to having a good talk with her mother tomorrow so that she could feel at ease.
After Xue'er and Bai Chen came up with a plan, Xue'er suddenly remembered that she hadn't made dinner yet, so she said embarrassedly: "Well, honey, you take a break first, I'll go make breakfast."
"It's already so late. Let's stop doing it. Come on, your husband will take you out to eat." Bai Chen said.
"Okay then! I'll pay attention next time." Xue'er said with a blushing face.
"Silly girl, I don't blame you at all. Pack up and I'll take you to eat hotpot!" Bai Chen asked.
"Okay!" So the couple went out to eat hotpot in the glow of the setting sun.
After they had breakfast, they were silent all night. The next morning, Xue'er got up early and waited for Bai Chen to go to the nursing home together...
