Chapter 185: Chapter 178: She Didn’t Notice (2)
If I could, Su Xiaomeng really wishes she had never met Bai Shunyuan.
Yin Meng nudged Yin Shixiu again and whispered, "I never expected that Bai Shunyuan is the son of this handsome uncle."
Yin Shixiu wasn’t entirely surprised; it was precisely because he discovered this fact that... Su Xiaomeng was staring at Bai Sidong with a "fan girl" expression...
His face turned dark.
Jealous? Not exactly, it’s just...
"Shunyuan has been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. When he was young, I was so focused on my career that I neglected to discipline him, so much so that..."
Bai Sidong felt a bit embarrassed as he said, "So much so that this kid unwittingly developed a domineering and self-centered personality, but aside from his personality being a bit awkward, in other areas, he still makes me proud as his father."
Su Xiaomeng thought to herself...
That awkward personality alone overshadowed all the big guy’s virtues!
"You’ve interacted with him, haven’t you also noticed this flaw?"
Bai Sidong asked Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng hesitated whether to tell the truth, and then Bai Sidong patted her on the back, "We’re just chatting, say whatever you want. Do you think I don’t know my own son?"
Since her uncle put it that way, she didn’t hold back.
"Uncle... Bai Shunyuan is truly... domineering and unreasonable, extremely overbearing!"
"What’s the deal, if things don’t go his way, he finds a way to mess with you, not only is he narrow-minded, but also petty, immature, boring, and neurotic!"
Su Xiaomeng said angrily, and when she came to her senses, seeing the slightly stiff expression on Bai Sidong’s face, she realized she might have said too much...
"Uh, Uncle, I might be biased against him, so..."
Bai Sidong quickly gestured for her to stop and then laughed, "No worries, no worries, I know what you said. Using terms popular among young girls like you, he’s like a ’domineering CEO’ everywhere, always self-centered."
Su Xiaomeng gave a dry laugh.
"I just didn’t expect you to be so straightforward..."
Bai Sidong’s eyes showed undisguised appreciation for Su Xiaomeng’s honesty and straightforwardness.
But with Su Xiaomeng having such a bad impression of his son, as a father, he inevitably wanted to say something positive for his son.
"Although he’s domineering, and at times irrationally so, Shunyuan isn’t someone who doesn’t understand right from wrong."
Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips; whether he understands right from wrong, she wasn’t sure.
As for Bai Shunyuan, she only remembered his unreasonable actions that almost got her into serious trouble.
"Shunyuan has high standards, and it seems like he doesn’t care about anyone, always with a nonchalant attitude, but..."
Bai Sidong looked at Su Xiaomeng and said slowly, "If something truly catches his attention, he’s absolutely reliable, and if someone can win his heart, he’s definitely all in, focused, and serious."
Su Xiaomeng blinked, surprised, "Uncle, does Bai Shunyuan even discuss his love life with you?"
"He’s a boy, and such a proud boy at that, how could he discuss these things with me, his father?"
Su Xiaomeng didn’t understand, "Then how do you know if someone captures his heart, he’ll be all in, focused, and serious?"
"His mother said he’s recently taken a liking to a girl, and is going all out in his pursuit."
Bai Sidong raised his eyebrows and then looked at Bai Sixian, "Looks like my son’s wedding day isn’t too far off."
"Brother, don’t be blindly optimistic, okay? I see Shunyuan’s personality is about ninety percent like yours when you were young..."
"If he’s like me, then there’s even less to worry about."
Bai Sidong replied earnestly.
Bai Sixian rolled her eyes at him and didn’t argue.
"His mom mentioned this is the first time she’s seen her son so sentimental, often locking himself in his room. That day, his mom went into his room, and guess what this ’domineering CEO’ was doing?"
Bai Sidong squinted, teasingly drawing everyone’s curiosity.
"Don’t keep us in suspense, this domineering CEO, could it be he’s writing love letters at home?"
Bai Sixian joked.
"Even more surprising than writing love letters. This grown man was sitting at his desk folding... paper cranes."
"Pfft... folding what?"
Bai Sixiang burst out laughing.
Su Xiaomeng also raised her eyebrows, looking at Bai Sidong in shock...
Handsome uncle wouldn’t make up stories about his son just to amuse people, right?
So... Bai Shunyuan is really at home folding paper cranes?
A grown man? Especially one like Bai Shunyuan... the ever ’domineering CEO’ Bai Shunyuan?
"Pfft... Hahaha!"
Su Xiaomeng thought of the scene and laughed uncontrollably, "Uncle, are you for real?"
"Why would I come all the way here to trick you?"
Bai Sidong put a dumpling in his mouth, chewing with satisfaction.
"His mom initially wanted to ask, but seeing Shunyuan being secretive about it, she decided not to interfere."
"As it turned out, these past few days, his mom paid more attention and observed the kid. Guess what? His desk was filled with love poems, and he often sat alone in the yard daydreaming."
Upon hearing this, Su Xiaomeng couldn’t bear listening anymore.
Thinking it over carefully, she knew what Bai Sidong said wasn’t quite realistic.
First, this simply wasn’t the Bai Shunyuan she knew.
Secondly, Bai Shunyuan already has a girlfriend, although that girl really makes her uncomfortable.
But as such a unique person, Bai Shunyuan has a special vision; choosing such a girl, she is convinced.
As for the third reason...
Su Xiaomeng always felt that as parents, one wouldn’t joke about their child’s romantic situation, especially among relatives.
Although she couldn’t be certain that what Bai Sidong said wasn’t entirely false, there surely must have been some exaggeration involved.
When she thought about it this way, assuming she had considered it thoroughly, she overlooked two points...
Firstly, she didn’t really understand the relationship between Shanshan and Bai Shunyuan.
Secondly, Bai Sixian had mentioned that he was a "perverted elder brother."
"Shunyuan is in love, not sure which family’s girl is so unlucky to be fancied by this guy. Haha!"
Bai Sidong laughed, his handsome face slightly tanned, basking in the sunlight.
While Su Xiaomeng was pondering, Yin Shixiu’s gaze slightly darkened, falling on Su Xiaomeng...
And she didn’t notice.
It seems that all parents in the world are the same; when discussing their children, they are always filled with pride and joy.
It’s like they have endless things to say, and no matter how much they talk, it never ends.
But Su Xiaomeng had never seen a father like her little uncle, who could talk so excitedly about his son’s flaws.
Bossy, male chauvinistic, thinking the world of oneself...
This was how Bai Sidong described his son, without holding back.
Listening to it, Su Xiaomeng felt that Bai Shunyuan was utterly useless, riddled with faults.
"But very filial."
Bai Sidong’s tone suddenly changed, catching Su Xiaomeng off guard.
"Very gentle and considerate."
Gentle and considerate?
Little uncle, are you talking about Bai Shunyuan?
"Oh yes, and especially clingy!"
Clingy?!
Su Xiaomeng and Yin Meng exchanged glances, Yin Meng having had little interaction with Bai Shunyuan, only knowing from Shan Minglang that the man’s personality was really not good.
Adding to that the incident of dragging Su Xiaomeng to karaoke before...
Yin Meng truly had a grudge against Bai Shunyuan.
Bai Sidong quickly finished the dumplings Bai Sixian had made for him.
Then he looked up, meeting Su Xiaomeng’s wide-eyed stare and Yin Meng’s bewildered expression. Suddenly, he chuckled and quickly explained, "He’s only like that with his mom. To others... he’s rather bad."
So... he’s a mama’s boy.
Su Xiaomeng thought, feeling a bit of disdain, no wonder he’s blindly arrogant and bossy.
"Ever since I became a police officer, I haven’t had much time to spend with the mother and son at home... He sometimes resents me, but for some things, resentment is useless."
Bai Sidong’s handsome face showed a hint of helplessness, his determined yet bright eyes revealing a trace of... guilt.
The atmosphere suddenly turned somber, and Su Xiaomeng listened carefully.
"The more he resents me, the better he treats his mother, spending holidays at home with her instead of going out with other boys..."
Su Xiaomeng looked at her little uncle, still a bit incredulous, "Really?"
Bai Sidong nodded, "Don’t dislike him just because of those faults your cousin has, okay?"
Su Xiaomeng blushed, lowered her head...
Mumbling somewhat against her will, "Why would I dislike him..."
But in her heart, she truly despised Bai Shunyuan!
Bai Sidong, noticing Su Xiaomeng’s innocence, decided not to say more...
Like... Bai Shunyuan’s unwavering devotion to his mother was simply an action to disdain him as a father.
The incident where Su Xiaomeng was almost in big trouble because of Bai Shunyuan was something Bai Sidong heard a bit about from his father, but not in detail.
He was closest to Sixian, and he couldn’t be enemies with the next generation.
Bai Shunyuan doesn’t know yet that Su Xiaomeng is his cousin.
Bai Sidong was quite curious to see what his son’s expression would be when he found out.
But... Bai Sidong thought, it might be more interesting for his son to find out from Su Xiaomeng than from them?
"Even though he’s an elder brother, he’s always lacked paternal love; you as a younger sister should be more tolerant..."
With her little uncle saying this, Su Xiaomeng could only reluctantly nod in agreement, after all... her little uncle was so handsome.
After finishing the dumplings, Bai Sidong didn’t seem to plan on staying long...
He quickly inquired about Yin Bowen’s situation from Bai Fengmao and Bai Sixian. After understanding the situation, he rubbed his clean-shaven chin...
"Alright, I got it. Dad, give me the USB drive, and Su, give me your phone number, I’ll pass it on to the bureau. Later, someone will contact you, just tell them the truth."
After saying this, Bai Sidong glanced at Yin Shixiu and Yin Meng, smiled, "My niece almost lost her life, and I’m going to make the perpetrator suffer a bit, you don’t have any objections, right?"
Yin Meng quickly said, "I’m the younger one here, you don’t need to ask me..."
