Chapter 1803 I Don’t Choose
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Bai Xiaoxiao threw away the fruit in her hand and grabbed Qiao Xiuyun's hand.
Tears flowed down her fair and white cheeks, and a sharp pain coursed through her limbs and bones in an instant.
There are no words to describe how painful it is.
She looked at the red and swollen half of her mother's face with blurred eyes, where she had beaten herself just now.
That slap, Qiao Xiuyun did not hit Bai Xiaoxiao's face, but slapped her own face.
But Bai Xiaoxiao would rather her mother hit her instead of herself.
The slap Qiao Xiuyun slapped on her face seemed to hit Bai Xiaoxiao's heart.
Bai Xiaoxiao raised her hand and touched her face distressedly, and asked distressedly, "Mom, does it hurt? I'm going to get you ice cubes to apply it."
Qiao Xiuyun shook her hand away and said sternly, "You don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, she got up and left.
Bai Xiaoxiao was anxious and couldn't think too much. He hugged one of her arms tightly with both hands and refused to let her leave. Qiao Xiuyun was dragged back to the sofa by her daughter.
"Mom, you were angry and you hit me. I know it was me who broke your heart. You can hit me and scold me as much as you want. Just don't hurt yourself, okay?"
Bai Xiaoxiao has lived for more than 20 years and has never seen her mother like this.
Even if she was asked to break up with Luo Haofeng back then, she was not as scared as the slap at this moment.
At that time, she was just a verbal threat.
Today, Qiao Xiuyun made it clear to Bai Xiaoxiao that as long as she continued with Luo Haofeng, she would do something to hurt herself.
Qiao Xiuyun will not hurt Bai Xiaoxiao because she is her daughter, she will only hurt herself.
Looking at Bai Xiaoxiao's tearful eyes, Qiao Xiuyun ignored the pain in her heart, and even ignored the burning sensation on her face, and said bluntly, "Since you love that man so much, then you will be between your mother and that man today." Make a choice, do you want him or me?"
A moment ago, Bai Xiaoxiao was still holding Qiao Xiuyun's arm tightly.
But the next second, her hand suddenly let go.
Such shock, such pain.
It was as if someone had taken a dagger and stabbed it deeply into her heart. She was bleeding profusely and was in agony.
She called out "Mom" tremblingly.
There was a hidden stubbornness in the biting lip, "Mom, you are all the people I love, I want them all, I don't choose."
Qiao Xiuyun's eyes were filled with moisture.
She thought of Bai Xiaoxiao when she was young. She was only two or three years old at that time. Qiao Xiuyun and Bai's father liked to tease her, "Xiaoxiao, do you love your mother more or your father more?"
At this time, Bai Xiaoxiao has only one answer, "I love my parents."
"Then who does Xiaoxiao love more?"
"I love my parents more." Her daughter's childlike voice echoed in her ears, as if that happened yesterday.
Qiao Xiuyun couldn't help crying.
"If you could only choose between mom and dad, who would you choose?"
"Both mom and dad want it, I can't choose."
After asking twice more, Bai Xiaoxiao answered impatiently, "I can't choose."
At that time, it was just a joke to amuse children.
Not that she really had a choice.
But more than twenty years later, today's Qiao Xiuyun really lets Bai Xiaoxiao make a choice, not between her and Bai's father, but between her and the man Bai Xiaoxiao loves.
One is Bai Xiaoxiao's mother, who gave birth to her and raised her.
The person she loved most.
And the other one is the man he loves deeply.
She made a choice three years ago. At that time, her mother's wish came true. Every night abroad, she was sad alone.
But now, she can't make a choice.
"Mom, I really love Luo Haofeng. If I could forget him, I would have forgotten him long ago, but I can't forget him."
Bai Xiaoxiao lowered her head and answered with pain and choking.
She loved that man, and this love seemed to go deep into her bones. She would never forget it unless she died.
No matter where she was or who she was with, all she was thinking about was him.
"Mom, I know there is a grudge between you and Luo Haofeng's mother. I know that you hate Luo Haofeng's mother for stealing the person you like. But, after so many years..."
Qiao Xiuyun didn't speak and didn't look at Bai Xiaoxiao.
The atmosphere in the living room was suffocatingly dull.
Bai Xiaoxiao shed tears as she spoke, not to win her mother's sympathy, but because the sadness in her heart had already turned into a river.
"Mom, just for my happiness, please stop hating Wu Jingfang, okay?"
Qiao Xiuyun stared at Bai Xiaoxiao coldly, as if Bai Xiaoxiao's words had severely broken her heart and wronged her.
This made Bai Xiaoxiao's face become even paler.
"Xiaoxiao, in your eyes, mom and I are just a selfish and stingy person who only remembers his own grudges and doesn't care about your happiness, right?"
Qiao Xiuyun asked heartbrokenly.
She knew in her heart that Xiaoxiao thought so because she didn't know the truth.
If Xiaoxiao knew the truth, she would never say such hurtful words.
But Qiao Xiuyun didn't want Xiaoxiao to know the truth at all. She just wanted to bury the unbearable things back then.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head and explained in a panic, "Mom, I didn't mean that. I just hope you will agree to me and Luo Haofeng being together."
"Do you think that if I agree, that woman Wu Jingfang will agree to you being together?"
Qiao Xiuyun's words became more and more severe.
Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and said firmly, "Mom, I have decided that I will not marry anyone except Luo Haofeng in this life. Even if it takes me a lifetime to get your Agreed, I am willing too.”
"Do you mean that you want to beg that woman Wu Jingfang in a low voice?"
Qiao Xiuyun was so angry that she was shaking. She had loved her daughter for so many years and would never allow her to beg another woman for a man.
Besides, that woman still hated her.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Mom, I'm not begging her, I just want to touch her with sincerity and let her know that Luo Haofeng and I really love each other."
"Xiaoxiao, you are too naive."
Although Qiao Xiuyun was angry, she was more worried about her daughter.
It was precisely because of this worry that she was angry, "You don't understand that woman Wu Jingfang? She will do whatever it takes to do anything. There is no way she would agree to you being together, and it is even less possible for me to let my daughter, who I have worked so hard to raise, humiliate her." begging her, even being humiliated by her.”
Bai Xiaoxiao sniffed, stood up, looked at Qiao Xiuyun's red and swollen cheeks distressedly, and said softly, "Mom, let's not talk about this for now. I'll get ice cubes to apply on your face, okay? Your face It’s swollen and must be very painful.”
