The scumbag reborn to choose Bai Yueguang: He regretted it

Yaya's call made the emotionally broken Qiao Chudong stunned for a moment, until she saw with her own eyes that Yaya was safe and sound, lying in Yang Shuo's arms, then she burst into tears of joy.

"Yaya——" She ran over regardless of everything and hugged Yaya tightly, and Yaya's soft little hands also wrapped around her neck.

"Mom, don't cry, Yaya Huhu..."

When He Xuyang saw that his daughter was actually rescued by Yang Shuo, he felt mixed emotions. He felt relieved but also felt angry.

After the excitement of regaining something had subsided, Qiao Chudong looked at Yang Shuo and asked, "How did you end up with Yaya?"

Yang Shuo then explained to everyone why he fished Yaya out of the river.

It turned out that when he was driving out of the village and passing by the river, he wanted to clean the mud off the car body.

So he drove the car to the river and started washing it. Halfway through washing the car, he saw a child rushing down from upstream. He immediately jumped in and fished the child out.

When Yaya was rescued, apart from drinking a lot of water, she was basically fine.

Yang Shuo had seen Yaya before when he went to the city to deliver vegetables to Qiao Chudong, so he brought her back after making sure she was not injured.

"Thank you, Yang Shuo. If it weren't for you... I really couldn't survive."

Qiao Chudong expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Yang Shuo, and asked Yaya to say thank you as well.

Yaya also thanked him in a very obedient and soft voice: "Thank you~ Uncle Yang."

Yang Shuo found that Yaya looked very much like Qiao Chudong, and he liked her very much. He raised his hand and scratched her little nose and said lovingly:

"You're welcome. Yaya, don't go to the river to play anymore. It's very dangerous."

The loving interaction between the two seemed like a poisonous thorn in He Xuyang's eyes.

But before he could get angry, Yaya pouted and said aggrievedly: "It was my aunt who brought me to the river to find my mother..."

Yaya's words immediately aroused Qiao Zhixia's suspicion. She looked up and saw a flash of guilt in Huang Xia's eyes.

"Yaya, which auntie is it? Can you point it out to my auntie?"

“…Yes…” Yaya raised her little hand and began to carefully identify people in the crowd one by one, but after looking around twice, she still couldn’t point out the culprit.

Yaya felt a little depressed and at a loss.

Huang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and Qiao Zhixia finally understood why Yaya couldn't find anyone, because Huang Xia was slapped by her and her face was swollen and black, it would be strange for Yaya to recognize her.

Besides, even if Yaya identified Huang Xia on the spot, the words of a two-year-old child could not serve as strong evidence.

But she didn't want to let her go, so she asked directly:

"Huang Xia, why don't you explain why Yaya and your son fell into the river together? Why are you and He Xuyang here?"

Huang Xia hugged her son tightly, straightened her neck and said confidently: "How dare you ask? It was this devil who brought my son here to play with bad intentions. She also pushed my son into the river. We asked others and found out that they were by the river, so we came here to find them."

"Really? Then who did you ask? Who told you that the two children were by the river?" Qiao Zhixia pressed on.

Huang Xia's words were obviously full of loopholes. Not to mention that Yaya would never have the intention to harm others, who would allow two such young children to stay by the flooded river without adult supervision?

So as expected, Huang Xia stuttered and couldn't point it out at all, and in the end she could only say that she couldn't remember it clearly.

"It's okay if you don't remember. The person who showed you the way must remember you. We can ask every household and we'll know."

If you really want to expose a lie, you will be able to find the flaw.

Qiao Zhixia's persistence naturally made Huang Xia, who was lying, sweat profusely. Fortunately, at this time, her son in her arms hummed:

"Mom...it's so cold, let's go to sleep..."

"Xiao Deng has caught a cold. Xuyang, please take us back quickly." Huang Xia took advantage of her son's discomfort and almost fled in panic.

He Xuyang looked at Qiao Chudong and her daughter and said, "Yaya, can you go home with Dad? Mom is going to have a funeral, and you are too young to stay."

But the mother and daughter almost unanimously avoided He Xuyang's touch.

"I don't want my dad, I want to be with my mom."

"Yaya has finally managed to survive. I dare not hand her over to you again. You'd better take her and her child away as soon as possible!" Qiao Chudong's tone was colder than ever before.

Although He Xuyang was angry, he still felt guilty towards Yaya: "Then I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

The three of them got on their bicycles and left amid the pointing and talking of a group of villagers.

Before Qiao Zhixia took Yaya back to change clothes, she pointed at Yang Shuo, who was also wet, and signaled her sister to treat her savior well.

Qiao Chudong looked up at Yang Shuo, whose hair was still covered with water droplets, and her mood was indescribably complicated.

"Your clothes are wet. You'll catch a cold if you keep going like this. If you don't mind, come back with me. I'll find some of my dad's clothes for you to change into first."

"Yeah, okay." Yang Shuo agreed in a deep voice.

Qiao Chudong thought he would refuse, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.

"Then...then come with me."

Qiao Chudong took him home, but as soon as she turned around, her feet suddenly trembled and she almost sprained her ankle. Fortunately, Yang Shuo held her arm steadily.

"……Thanks."

"It's okay. You were too nervous just now. It's normal to feel exhausted now that you relax."

"I really don't know how to thank you. You saved Yaya and you saved me."

"Then treat me to a meal at a big restaurant in the city next time!" Yang Shuo said easily.

Qiao Chudong smiled: "Okay, no problem..."

After this incident, her opinion of Yang Shuo changed a lot and she was no longer opposed to contacting him.

When Yang Shuo followed her back and changed into Qiao Xinguo's clean clothes and came out, Yaya also changed her clothes and came out.

"Uncle Yang~" Yaya hid behind the door shyly, poking her little head out and calling him timidly.

Yang Shuo smiled at her, revealing a rare tenderness from this tough guy.

Qiao Zhixia poked her sister with her arm and said, "Sister, I think Yaya seems to like Brother Yang Shuo very much, and Brother Yang Shuo is obviously more reliable than the guy named He."

Qiao Chudong knew her sister too well, so she interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense, let's go eat..."

On the other side, He Xuyang and Huang Xia, who looked embarrassed, returned to the town with Xiao Deng.

After He Xuyang sent the mother and son to the gate of the compound and was about to leave, he was stopped by Huang Xia.

"Xuyang, can you come in and help me? My parents are going to the countryside for a drink today and won't be back until tomorrow. I'm scared to take care of the sick Xiao Deng by myself."

He Xuyang originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the woman with bruises all over her face made him feel guilty. After all, it was because of him that they and their son were hurt.

"Okay! I'll apply the medicine for you before we go..."

Huang Xia took He Xuyang into the house and locked the door.

He Xuyang found that Xiaodeng's forehead was hot, obviously he had a high fever.

"Take off his wet clothes quickly and wipe his body."

The two of them hurriedly gave Xiao Deng a bath and changed his clothes. Then Huang Xia found the remaining antipyretic medicine at home and fed it to him.

After a busy hour, it was already an hour later.

Huang Xia locked her son, who had a high fever, in a room to sleep alone, and then immediately went out and said to He Xuyang:

"Xuyang, there is hot water at home. Your clothes are wet, go wash them!"

He Xuyang looked down at his clothes that were almost ironed dry by his body temperature. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still refused.

"No need, I'll go back and wash now. You take care of Xiao Deng first!" He was about to leave after he said that, but was stopped by Huang Xia again.

"But you haven't applied the medicine to me yet..."
