253 A Hero
For a long time, Bai Xi didn’t want to go out, nor did she want to go to the gallery.
She would push back her modeling job as much as she could and try not to let others recognize her. When they went out to buy groceries, they would always wear masks and sunglasses, and they rarely spoke. Even Chuchu knew about this kind of exaggerated style.
“Your mother is like a spy in a TV drama!” she said to Chen En discreetly.
It was just like the actor’s brother she met in the TV series. In order to get into character, he was very “sneaky” both inside and outside the scene.
Bai Xi was only willing to go out more when she went to the firm. When she was in a good mood, she was even willing to have a meal with Qu Zhi and the others.
Her skin was tender, and the injury on her face took a long time to heal. The bruise at the corner of her eye only disappeared after the lawsuit.
Qu Zhi’s heart ached when she saw this.
If it was her in her previous life, she might not have had the courage to bear all this.
Qu Zhi couldn’t do much, but whenever she was free, she would go to Bai Xi’s house and help her check if there were any daily necessities missing. If she needed anything, she would bring some from the shopping mall when she came.
Fortunately, Bai Xi was more and more adept at handling household affairs. She had a lot of free time at work and didn’t go out much, so she had plenty of time to learn slowly.
The walls of the house were filled with post-it notes that she had written, reminding her of her daily tasks. In the morning, he had to throw away the garbage, buy vegetables, work, and get off work. Everything was well taken care of.
She even bought a small blackboard and hung it at the door to write the menu for the next day.
What she wanted to feed her son for breakfast and dinner was written on the blackboard. When Chen En returned, he could see it immediately. If he didn’t like it, he could erase it and write it again, and his mother would make it for him when she saw it.
If they have anything to say, they can write it on the small blackboard.
Chen En liked this mode of getting along very much. Although the mother and son did not talk much, Chen En felt at ease when he saw the words on the blackboard. It was as if he was talking to a friend.
He felt his mother seemed to have changed into a different person.
She had changed from a gentle and kind mother to a smart and capable mother. If her mother was a beautiful doll in the past, her mother now was an omnipotent superwoman.
It was just like Chuchu’s mother.
Occasionally, Bai Xi would be out chatting with clients and would not come home for dinner. Now, she would generously ask aunt Hui for help and ask her to bring Chen En home for dinner.
Her world was now in her own hands. She was clear-headed and did everything she wanted. Although he was a little busy and tired, he looked much more energetic and full of energy.
She was well-dressed and her voice was a little energized. It was as if nothing had happened to her. She didn’t say much usually, but her personality had completely changed.
Sometimes, Qu Zhi would still see Bai Xi cry silently.
Everyone gathered to drink, and as Bai Xi drank, her eyes turned red. She answered everything she was asked. She looked carefree and straightforward, but in fact, tears were glistening in the corners of her eyes.
Everyone knew in their hearts that divorce was no small matter. Only Bai Xi herself knew how much she had suffered.
However, everyone was very happy with the current Bai Xi.
Compared to the previous demanding and unreasonable Mrs. Chen, Bai Xi’s personality was much gentler and more likable. If she really had any difficulties, everyone was willing to help her.
Bai Xi’s eyes reddened again when she heard everyone speak the truth.
“Drink, keep drinking.” At this time, she was actually a little drunk, but she felt that there was no way to repay others’ good intentions, so she could only drink a little more to show her sincerity.
However, Qu Zhi pushed the fruit plate in front of her. “Don’t think about the drinking. I can’t afford to keep you drunk with your alcohol tolerance.”
Bai Xi wiped her tears. “Okay, the gallery will reopen in a few days. I’ll treat everyone to a gathering.” A new batch of paintings had entered her gallery, and they would all arrive in a few days. She would clean up and reopen her gallery.
“Oh, our Boss Bai is back!” Qu Zhi was sincerely happy for her.
The Art Gallery opened, and Bai Xi’s heart was back again.
Bai Xi nodded.
After the storm, she was still a hero.
