After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 50: Speaking the truth after drinking?

I don’t know if she was really happy or was in a bad mood because some of her true feelings were exposed, but Su Yurao drank too much.

Su Yurao, who usually has a good alcohol tolerance, got drunk.

Xie Ming felt a little embarrassed. Today they invited Xie Huaishan and his wife to come over to celebrate Xie Ci's successful completion of the college entrance examination. As the host, Su Yurao was responsible for greeting the guests, which was basic etiquette.

However, Su Yurao frequently toasted to Xie Huaishan, which made Xie Ming a little unhappy.

At the beginning, Su Yurao fell in love with Xie Huaishan, and this was no secret in the Xie family.

Originally, Xie Ming thought that since his elder brother had already married, and he and Su Yurao had been married for so many years and had five children, Su Yurao should have stopped having those inappropriate thoughts about his elder brother long ago.

Unfortunately, it was obvious that Su Yurao still couldn't control her feelings for Xie Huaishan.

Su Yurao toasted Xie Huaishan, but Xie Huaishan did not drink. Mu Wanting's face darkened, and Xie Ming also looked a little embarrassed.

The dinner that was originally planned to celebrate Xie Ci ended in a bad mood.

Xie Ming was angry that Su Yurao was being so attentive to Xie Huaishan in front of him. After paying the bill, he left with Xie Ci, Xie Ling and Xie Shuang.

Only Xie Min was left to take care of the drunk Su Yurao.

Xie Min supported Su Yurao and staggered out of the hotel.

Su Yurao cried and laughed at the same time, "Aci has finished the college entrance examination, I am happy, why can't I drink a few more glasses?"

"If it weren't for your grandfather, that old man... I would have married Xie Huaishan a long time ago... hiccup..."

Su Yurao burped and sobbed softly with some grievance, "Amin, do you know what kind of life I have been living for all these years?"

Xie Min supported Su Yurao without saying a word.

She didn't expect that she would hear such family secrets just because she stayed to take care of Su Yurao.

If there was no grandfather, my mother would probably marry my uncle?

Because of grandpa, my mother married my father whom she didn’t like?

So, is this why my mother cheated on her husband?

Xie Min said nothing and helped Su Yurao into the car.

Su Yurao was lying in the back seat, seeming a little unconscious.

Xie Min was driving the car and glanced through the rearview mirror at Su Yurao who was sleeping in the back seat.

Is mother really drunk?

Did the mother really speak the truth after drinking, or did she say it on purpose for her to hear?
Xie Min had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she showed nothing on her face.

The car drove back to the Xie family villa, and Xie Min helped Su Yurao down.

"Mrs. Zhang, prepare some sobering soup for my mother." Xie Min instructed Mrs. Zhang as soon as she entered the door.

Mrs. Zhang responded and immediately went downstairs to prepare the sobering soup.

Xie Min brought a basin of water and helped Su Yurao wipe her dirty face.

I have to say that Su Yurao has taken good care of herself. She is in her fifties but looks only in her early forties.

Su Yurao seemed to be really drunk. She lay on the sofa with her eyes slightly closed, mumbling something.

Xie Ming heard the noise and came down from upstairs. Seeing Su Yurao slumped on the sofa, he felt angry and distressed.

"I'll take care of your mother, you go up first!" Xie Ming said to Xie Min.

Even if Su Yurao got drunk because of Xie Huaishan, and even if he had just abandoned Su Yurao in the hotel out of anger.

Xie Ming was still worried about Su Yurao.

Xie Min nodded and bent over to help Su Yurao put on a blanket. "The air conditioner in the living room is turned on high. Mom, don't catch a cold."

After Xie Min finished speaking, she got up and went upstairs.

Pushing the door open, Xie Min saw her holding a few strands of Su Yurao's hair in her hand.

Originally, she didn't want to act so quickly, but since her mother had personally pushed this opportunity to her today, if she didn't act, she would be letting God down.

Xie Min put the hair into the sealed bag that she had prepared long ago, and then went back to Xie Ling's room.

Xie Ling was sitting on the balcony, staring outside in a daze. When he saw Xie Min come in, he immediately looked behind Xie Min vigilantly.

"Did you get it?" Xie Min asked in a low voice.

Xie Ling hummed and handed Xie Min a sealed bag.

On the way back today, Xie Ling also got a few strands of hair from Xie Ci.

Xie Min took the bag and put it in her own bag. "There is no time to lose. I will find someone to do an appraisal tonight."

Xie Min waited in the room for a while, until there was no more movement downstairs, then she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

……

After Xie Chen and the other three finished their meal, they returned to school. The school was already very quiet.

Many boarding students packed up their belongings and were picked up by their families after the college entrance examination.

Day students went straight home.

"Brother Chen, I have to go home tomorrow. I really can't bear to leave you!" Bai Ji sighed and said sincerely.

Xie Chen smiled and said, "After filling out the application form, we will go to the same city to study in college. Then we can see each other often."

Bai Ji grinned, "Although I don't have the confidence to say that I can get into the same university as you, but I can still get into the same city as you."

Zhou Huimin and Xu Lang also laughed and said, "Yes, Brother Chen is going to a key university, so why can't we just study for an ordinary undergraduate degree?"

The four of them returned to the dormitory talking and laughing.

When passing by the playground, Xie Chen's attention was attracted by a figure not far away.

"You guys go back first! I'm going to walk around the playground." Xie Chen made an excuse and did not go back to the dormitory with everyone.

Bai Ji and the others have been living on campus for a long time and have a lot of stuff. They plan to go home early tomorrow morning and have to pack their things, so they didn't say anything about going shopping with Xie Chen.

As a boy, it’s okay to be pretentious.

Bai Ji, Zhou Huimin and Xu Lang returned to the dormitory arm in arm.

Xie Chen walked towards the playground.

There was a person sitting on the open-air stands of the playground.

She was wearing a white sportswear and a casually tied ponytail. The wind blew up her messy hair at the temples, giving her a broken beauty.

"Why are you here alone?" Xie Chen stood in the stands, looking at the girl in front of him who looked very worried.

"Nothing, just some quiet time alone." Song Xue forced a smile.

Behind Song Xue was the blood-red sunset, and the girl's smile under the sunset seemed so forced.

"How did you do in the exam?" Xie Chen sat down next to Song Xue.

Perhaps it was because Xie Chen had seen the Song family's disgrace before, Song Xue always felt a little ashamed when facing Xie Chen.

"Not bad." Song Xue said softly, "How about you?"

"It's okay!" Xie Chen replied casually.

The evening breeze blew the willows, and Song Xue hummed softly, "What are your plans for the summer vacation?"

Xie Chen shook his head, "Not yet."

Song Xue hugged her knees with her hands, buried her chin in her legs, and raised her eyes slightly, looking at the sunset in the sky.

"Tomorrow, we will leave school." Song Xue's tone was a little lost. She hasn't started looking for a job yet. If she can't find a job that can provide her with food and accommodation tomorrow, she will have to sleep on the streets.

Xie Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he then remembered that the end of the college entrance examination meant that he could no longer live in the school dormitory.

It was easier for him, as he had obtained a house from Su Yu before. As for Song Xue, he would have no place to live and would have to return to the Song family's den of wolves again.
