Chapter 485: 450 Old Bai: Stay overnight tonight (2 updates)

After finishing a bottle of beer, Ge Qing ordered another one. By the time she had finished two bottles, Ge Qing began to complain about her own son.

Then she started making all sorts of promises to Sun Qing.

Sun Qing had not expected that Ge Qing couldn’t hold her alcohol at all—she was down after just two bottles of beer. But when Ge Qing was down, it wasn’t a ruckus, just that she became a bit more talkative.

She talked about everything, whether it was appropriate or not.

Once she got happy, she completely let loose.

Even though they were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they insisted on calling each other sisters.

It was somewhat awkward for Sun Qing, at first, to see Ge Qing drink so boldly. She even thought Ge Qing could really hold her liquor.

Once Ge Qing got tipsy, Sun Qing began to panic because she couldn’t handle it, so she had to call for backup.

She called Tang Su first, but Tang Su didn’t pick up. She knew that Tang Su was busy these days with organizing a promotional event for her two stores before the end of the year.

Sun Qing didn’t call again; instead, after some thought, she decided to call Bai Dingxian.

Since Ge Qing had arrived, she stayed in the villa that her father-in-law had bought before. Bai Dingxian didn’t have to work overtime that night, so he was still planning to go back to the villa to keep his mother company.

However, when he arrived at the villa, he found that aside from a few who were looking after the house, Ge Qing was simply not at home.

Linking this to what Sun Qing had said over the phone earlier, Bai Dingxian was no fool; naturally, he figured it out.

The two of them were both living people; he had advised against them meeting at this time. But since neither of them would listen, there was nothing he could do.

If they wanted to meet, let them meet.

Bai Dingxian took a bath, then went downstairs to cook himself a bowl of noodles.

As soon as he finished his noodles, Sun Qing’s call came through.

"Where are you?" Bai Dingxian asked.

"Jianghu Hot Pot."

"Got it, I’ll be there shortly."

"Okay."

In less than half an hour, Bai Dingxian arrived at Jianghu Hot Pot by taxi. Sun Qing looked at him eagerly, with genuine humility.

This scene was something Bai Dingxian could never have imagined would stay in his mind forever.

On the way there, Bai Dingxian had rehearsed a string of curses in his mind, over and over. But when he got to Sun Qing, seeing her expression, he was at a loss for words.

In the end, it turned into a question, "Have you paid the bill yet?"

"Yeah, I’ve paid it."

Sun Qing nodded; after Ge Qing drank too much, she had asked the waiter to settle the bill. At the beginning, Ge Qing had left a thousand yuan at the counter, so all that was needed was to tally the total and give back the change to them.

The items they ordered amounted to nearly five hundred yuan.

"If the bill’s been paid, let’s go," Bai Dingxian said as he went over to help his mother up, glancing at the table in passing, "You two have quite the appetite."

Sun Qing understood—he was insinuating that they had eaten a lot.

Is it such a heinous crime for women to eat a bit more?

Really—

Sun Qing pouted.

"Eh? Qing girl, why do I hear my son’s voice?" Ge Qing was somewhat drunk but not too drunk; no matter how drunk she got, she was never one to create a scene or act crazy.

Either she would become extremely chatty, remembering things from a long time ago and bringing them up, or she would simply fall deep into sleep.

Bai Dingxian: "..."

It was his voice indeed, he wasn’t completely drunk yet.

But why did she call him a "stinky son"?

The three of them left Jianghu Hot Pot, Bai Dingxian carrying Ge Qing on his back, with Sun Qing supporting her on the side. Along the way, Ge Qing kept complaining to Sun Qing about how playful Bai Dingxian was when he was little, just like a flea.

These things, Ge Qing had said before, it’s just that after drinking, she uncontrollably repeated them over and over again.

Hearing Ge Qing say these things, Bai Dingxian was too lazy to retort, and Sun Qing could only make soothing sounds of agreement to appease her; otherwise, Ge Qing might have disclosed even more embarrassing stories about Bai Dingxian.

When they reached the intersection, Bai Dingxian asked Sun Qing, "Shall I take you home first?"

"No need, let’s get Auntie settled down first." Sun Qing shook her head. She wouldn’t feel at ease until she saw Ge Qing properly lying in bed, sleeping quietly.

She always felt as if she was the one who had gotten Ge Qing drunk.

Today was indeed a happy day, the two of them had a great chat, and Sun Qing even felt confident that in the future, there wouldn’t be any mother-in-law-daughter-in-law conflicts between them.

Nowadays, how many mothers-in-law could do what Ge Qing had done, no less, letting go gracefully as soon as the son reached adulthood?

Originally, she thought those were just pretenses mentioned by so-called experts, just lip service, but now she realized that there really were parents like Ge Qing in this world.

Upon arriving at the villa, Bai Dingxian carried her back to the master bedroom, Sun Qing went to draw water, wiped down Ge Qing, and was about to change her clothes when Ge Qing seemed to suddenly wake up.

"It’s okay, I’ll do it. I’ll just go take a shower."

"Auntie, it’s so cold, better not to shower. I’ve wiped you down, let’s just change into pajamas and sleep. You can shower tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Sun Qing."

"Mhm, it’s no problem."

After that, Ge Qing fell asleep, that kind of deep sleep where you’re out the second your head hits the pillow.

Sun Qing: "..."

After tucking Ge Qing in, Sun Qing left the room. Checking the time, after all that, it was getting late. She could still call a ride.

Sun Qing decided to head back.

Bai Dingxian sat in the living room downstairs. Seeing Sun Qing come downstairs, he stood up, "You’re leaving?"

"Mhm. Auntie has fallen asleep, no need to worry."

"I’m not worried about her." Bai Dingxian denied. His mom definitely spilled quite a few embarrassing stories about his childhood to Sun Qing today; why would he worry about her?

Mothers never air their family’s dirty laundry.

Besides, those embarrassing childhood stories were because he was young, right?

Who didn’t have some embarrassing moments when they were young?

"It’s late. If you don’t have to work tomorrow, why not stay here for the night? I have to leave early tomorrow morning. It’s quite far to the hospital; I need to leave an hour earlier and avoid the rush hour."

"With many rooms at home and my mom here, no one will gossip."

Bai Dingxian, unusually talkative, caused Sun Qing to nod in agreement, "Alright, I’ll stay then. Do you have any staples at home? Before I go to sleep, I can set up the porridge to cook, so you can have a couple of bowls before work in the morning, and I can continue to eat with Auntie when she wakes up."

"Sure. I don’t know what we have at home; you can check the fridge. After you’re done, get some rest. The room is on the second floor, and all the bedding is in the wardrobe in the room. Last time, my aunt got everything set up."

"Got it, you can go to sleep now."

"Alright."

With nothing more to say, Bai Dingxian went upstairs to rest, choosing a guest room on the third floor.

Sun Qing found some Xiaomi in the fridge, cleaned it, set the timer, and then headed upstairs. Bai Dingxian wasn’t completely careless.

For the second-floor room where Sun Qing would stay, he opened the door, took out the clean bedding, and Sun Qing just needed to make the bed and then she could rest.

Sun Qing’s expectations of Bai Dingxian had always been modest, so for him to have done this much for her, already had her quite moved.
