The two of them were Bai Shaokun's adoptive parents. They had not seen their child for more than a month, and they were extremely excited to see him again. The man was fine, but the woman hugged Bai Shaokun's small body and cried.
Due to the distance, the airport was very noisy, so Bai Li did not hear what they were saying.
How could he feel comfortable? That couple had nothing to do with him, but his own brother was so dependent on them. Bai Li turned her head away, not looking at the 'family of three'. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
However, Bai Li noticed that most of the people in the airport were young men who had not come to pick them up. They were all carrying a suitcase in their hands. Bai Li frowned at the sight of the situation. She went to the front desk not far away to check on the flight that had arrived in the morning, and the information she got made her smile bitterly for a long time.
Su Yan remained silent. She felt uncomfortable doing anything at this moment. She simply lowered her head and fiddled with her ten fingernails.
After a long time, the excitement of the three of them finally subsided. Bai Li got them into the car and prepared to bring the couple back to the villa.
After much hesitation, the woman looked up at her husband's expression and let him make a decision. The man nodded solemnly and followed Bai Li to the outer perimeter of the airport.
Bai Li got into the car first, followed by Su Yan, who got into the passenger seat. The 'family of three' sat in the back. Bai Shaokun sat in the middle. His parents were holding his hands, afraid that the child would leave them in the next moment.
Bai Li did not miss the man's gentle nod to the crowd outside the car. She did not say anything and pretended not to see him.
Perhaps it was because she was feeling frustrated, Bai Li stepped on the accelerator as she drove on the highway, and the car sped past the highway like a rocket.
Su Yan looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly moving backward and thought about what she should do in her heart. Subconsciously, she thought of Gu Peng, who would flick her forehead and scold her for being stupid, but would still analyze things with her and propose solutions.
When they arrived at the villa, the couple got out of the car and looked at the luxurious villa that looked like a palace from the outside.
The living room that was as warm as spring was separated from the courtyard by a glass door. Su Yan pushed the door open and placed the couple's luggage aside.
Billy was playing video games in the living room. He was not surprised to see the person who came in. Zhang Yi must have told him about it. Zhang Yi, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the noise. He put down the things in his hands and brought the fruits that he had prepared earlier to the living room.
Bai Shaokun's adoptive father was thirty-six years old this year, and his adoptive mother was thirty-two years old. The former had very fair skin and blue eyes like a child's. He was obviously a Caucasian. The latter was also Caucasian, and her tall and handsome nose bridge added a lot of points to her brown eyes. Similarly, the two of them could not hide their smiles.
Su Yan let the two of them sit wherever they wanted while she went upstairs to look for Gu Peng.
Bai Li parked the car and walked into the living room. She threw the car keys on the cabinet, and the handbag slipped down her left hand. The strap of the handbag happened to be between Bai Li's slightly bent fingers.
As soon as she sat on the single-seater sofa, the temperature in the living room dropped by several degrees. Billy's sharp eyes clearly saw the tension in the couple's bodies.
From the moment they were about to leave for the airport, Bai Li had already thought about everything that would happen today. That was not the original decision. They had planned to let Bai Shaokun return to Country M for a period of time after the holiday. However, when she noticed the man's abnormality, she had already changed her mind. She knew that seven years was enough for a three-year-old child to develop dependence, and this dependence was not a good thing.
The man was silent for a while, obviously thinking about how to speak.
The warm living room was very quiet, with only the sound of the video games and the ticking of the clock. The atmosphere in the living room was at its lowest.
The man first explained why they were six days late. Because of the company's economic turmoil, as the company's managers, they had to stay there to deal with things before coming here.
Bai Li's eyes did not even move, as if the words were not directed at her. Because she felt that the reason why they were late had nothing to do with her.
Before the man could finish his sentence, Bai Li interrupted him and shot him a glance. She then retracted her gaze and said in English,""When Jeremy learns the Chinese language, I will let you bring him back to Country M for a period of time. Remember, it's a period of time."
Even Billy found it unbelievable that Bai Li would say something like that. But on second thought, Bai Li said that she would only let him leave after he learned Chinese. He did not know when he would be able to learn it, or if he could learn it. After thinking it through, Billy's face was filled with understanding.
The couple looked at each other and smiled, but they quickly became disappointed. They didn't know when Bai Shaokun would be able to learn the Chinese language.
Billy inadvertently noticed that the gauze on Bai Li's hand was missing and knew that she had removed it herself. He shook his head helplessly and returned to his room.
Bai Li looked at their expressions and said calmly,""I'm only neutral on this matter because you guys treat Jeremy well. I should be the one taking care of my brother, but after taking care of him for seven years, he's not used to suddenly leaving.”Bai Li made up her mind and made everything clear.
The man stared at Bai Li with his eyes wide open. He did not agree with what she said. He took out a card from his wallet and looked at it carefully. Wasn't it the card that Bai Li left behind when she went to take Bai Shaokun?
Bai Li was puzzled by his actions and looked at him with a frown. He turned to look at Bai Shaokun, who was in the woman's arms. His smile was genuine. She had only seen such a smile twice in so many days. He had this expression in the morning when he knew he was going to meet his parents, and now.
Sighing in her heart, Bai Li looked at the man again. "We don't care about this card! Jeremy is our son. How can we let you take him away just because you say so?”Because he knew the truth, the man didn't have enough confidence to speak. Knowing Bai Li's background, it was highly likely that she was related to his 'son'. Jiu was not wrong.
With this in mind, the man looked at Bai Li with guilt. However, when she thought of her son, this unnoticeable guilt was nothing.
Bai Li laughed coldly as she tried to guess if he had investigated her. The answer was self-evident.
Hearing Bai Li's laughter, Bai Shaokun squeezed himself into his mother's arms. Tears fell uncontrollably, causing the woman named Mary to wipe his tears away worriedly.
Bai Li's heart skipped a beat and she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Unable to reprimand her, Bai Li finally said to the couple,""You guys can leave."
