17: Chapter 17 How old is the child’s father?

“Hello, Mom…”

As the call connected, Yuxin spoke nervously.

“Yuxin, where are you now?”

On the other end of the line, Mrs.

Tang’s anxious voice could be heard.

“I…

I’m in Shanghai.”

“I know that.

I’m asking where you’re staying.

I’ve just arrived at Shanghai City Airport.”

Yuxin’s eyes widened in shock at those words.

Mom came to Shanghai?!

Xiao Fei was also extremely surprised.

He didn’t expect his mother-in-law to suddenly and quietly show up in Shanghai.

Yuxin began to panic.

Xiao Fei noticed her distress, took her hand, and mouthed, “Tell her to come here.”

Yuxin hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and spoke into the phone:

“Mom, I’m currently in Huangpu District, at Jinyu Huafu.”

“Alright, I’ll call a car and head over now.”

It takes over an hour to get from the airport to Huangpu River.

If there’s traffic, it could take even longer.

As a result, Xiao Fei abandoned the idea of going with Yuxin to pick up her mother.

After all, there were three babies that needed care.

“Have you…

been doing okay lately?”

At that moment, Mrs.

Tang’s voice came through again.

“I’ve been doing very well.”

Yuxin responded quickly without thinking.

“Good, good.”

Mrs.

Tang paused, then asked, “And…

the children?

How are they?”

“The children are doing great.”

“They’re two months old now.

Triplets,” Yuxin answered.

“Tri…

Triplets?!”

Mrs.

Tang froze in astonishment upon hearing this.

“You—why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

“Your dad was mad at the time and said some harsh things, but having triplets is such a big deal; why didn’t you at least let me know?”

Mrs.

Tang’s tone carried deep remorse.

“I…”

Yuxin wanted to explain but found herself choked up.

She wiped her tears and forced a smile.

“Mom, don’t worry about me.

I’m doing really well now.

The kids’ dad…

treats us very well.

We’re very happy.”

Saying this, Yuxin glanced at Xiao Fei, blushing.

“You found the kids’ dad?!”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t know who he was?”

Mrs.

Tang sounded surprised.

“Mom, this is something that’s hard to explain quickly.”

“When you get here, I’ll explain everything.

The kids’ dad is here too.”

Yuxin spoke into the phone.

“Alright.”

“I’m coming immediately!”

With that, Mrs.

Tang hung up the phone.

…

An hour later.

While watching TV in the living room and playing with the babies, the couple suddenly heard Yuxin’s phone ringing again on the table.

“Yuxin…”

“I’ve arrived at this Jinyu Huafu place.”

“Do you really live here?

This place…

doesn’t look cheap.”

Mrs.

Tang’s tone was clearly surprised.

“Yes, this is it.”

“I’ll come down to get you now.”

After hanging up the phone, Yuxin quickly kissed Xiao Fei, slipped into her shoes, and bolted downstairs.

Each step brought her closer to the residential area’s entrance.

Yuxin’s nerves tightened, her emotions a mix of tension and unease.

She recalled the events of a year earlier, when her parents found out about her unexpected pregnancy and forced her to terminate it—her father even slapped her.

The memory of that night was something she couldn’t forget.

At last, after rushing, Yuxin arrived at the neighborhood gate and saw the familiar figure.

“Mom!”

Yuxin called out.

Not far away, a dignified woman turned her head and saw Yuxin.

“Yuxin!”

With Yuxin’s appearance, the security guard allowed Mrs.

Tang to enter.

She walked quickly to Yuxin, giving her a detailed once-over.

Seeing her rosy complexion and high spirits, she seemed clearly not mistreated.

A relieved smile finally appeared on Mrs.

Tang’s face.

“Mom…”

Looking at Mrs.

Tang, Yuxin couldn’t help but throw herself into her arms.

She hugged her mother tightly and burst into tears.

“It’s okay… Don’t cry.”

Mrs.

Tang gently patted her daughter’s shoulder and consoled her, “It’s Mom’s fault—I shouldn’t have said such harsh things, nor should I have ignored you after you ran away from home.”

“It’s all my fault!”

Upon hearing this, Yuxin cried even harder.

“Mom… It’s not your fault…”

“It was me… I was wrong…

Sob, sob…”

Yuxin murmured between sobs.

After a long time, she gradually calmed down.

She then shyly held her mother’s hand and began walking toward the apartment.

…

On the way back.

Mrs.

Tang couldn’t help but ask:

“Yuxin, what’s the situation with you guys now?”

“What’s going on between you and the kids’ dad?”

Yuxin hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, “Didn’t I tell you before about Lulu’s suicide attempt and how I went to the bar that night to drink?”

“Then…

I accidentally got involved with a man.”

Yuxin paused before explaining further, “You and Dad know about that part.”

“Afterward, I fought with you two and ran away to Shanghai alone, where I gave birth to the triplets.”

“To take care of them, I found a job as a teaching assistant at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and fatefully, I ran into Xiao Fei—the kids’ dad.”

Saying this, Yuxin glanced at her mother.

Seeing no signs of resistance on her face, Yuxin continued, “Mom, I know you’ve been unhappy with Xiao Fei.”

“But Xiao Fei didn’t abandon me on purpose.”

“He didn’t know that after that night, I’d gotten pregnant.”

“Plus, he was drunk that night, just like me.”

“Since we’ve reconnected, he’s taken great care of me and the children.

He even used his savings to buy a house here for us, which cost over twenty million yuan…”

Throughout the conversation.

Yuxin told Mrs.

Tang many good things about Xiao Fei.

When Mrs.

Tang heard that Xiao Fei had spent twenty million yuan to buy a house here, the look of surprise in her eyes intensified.

She began to feel hesitant.

“Um, Yuxin…”

“How old is the kids’ dad?”

Being able to afford such an expensive house, he certainly couldn’t be young, could he?

Mrs.

Tang didn’t want her daughter to marry an old man!

“Xiao Fei is…”

“Quite young—he’s even younger than me by a few years.”

Saying this, Yuxin couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Younger by a few years?

That was an understatement!

He was her student, after all!

Hearing Yuxin’s response, Mrs.

Tang’s frown deepened.

“Younger than you?”

“Where did he get so much money from?

What does his family do?”

Mrs.

Tang pressed on.

After all, she had heard enough about the messy lives of the wealthy.

She didn’t want her daughter to suffer from anything like that.

Yuxin didn’t notice her mother’s shift in expression, happily explaining, “Xiao Fei’s family is quite ordinary, just like ours.

They’re Chuanyu locals—his dad works for a state-owned enterprise, and his mom is a homemaker.”

“Everything he used for this house was earned by himself.”

“To buy the house, he spent all his savings.”

Saying this, Yuxin felt a pang of guilt.

If not for her, Xiao Fei wouldn’t have spent so much money on the house.

Still, on second thought, having their own permanent residence meant they wouldn’t have to move constantly anymore.

This would definitely be good for the babies’ upbringing.

Thinking this, Yuxin’s previously furrowed brow began to relax.

After listening to her daughter’s details, Mrs.

Tang finally felt reassured.

This Xiao Fei…

He seemed pretty good.

Responsible.

And capable.

But to be sure, Mrs.

Tang planned to assess him thoroughly when they met.

If anything seemed off, Mrs.

Tang wouldn’t hesitate to prevent her daughter from staying with him!
