Bai Shimu first saw Gu Jueye on news reports. He was from a prestigious family, exceptionally handsome and elegant. Her first impression of him? "A demon!"
The second time she met Gu ...
After Bai Qianmo publicly exposed her true colors, Bai Xiruo's gentle expression appeared somewhat pale and powerless.
Bai Kangyan stared at Bai Xiruo in disbelief.
"Xi Ruo, did you really say such a thing in front of outsiders?"
Bai Xiruo dared not look directly at Bai Kangyan, a look of panic flashing in her eyes.
"Qianmo, I didn't expect you to misunderstand me so much. What do I have to do to satisfy you? Or is it that if I leave this house and leave Mom and Dad, you will really stop slandering me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face.
Bai Qianmo scoffed coldly. She had long guessed that Bai Xiruo would turn the tables on her after she said those words.
Bai Xiruo's acting skills were terrible, and her words were full of loopholes, but some people were still willing to blindly believe her.
"Bai Qianmo, when are you going to stop bullying Xi Ruo? She has given in and accommodated you time and time again, how can you be so greedy?" Han Songyan was trembling with anger.
The way she looked at Bai Qianmo was like that of an enraged lioness, who wished she could tear her to pieces.
"Enough!"
Bai Kangyan finally snapped, picked up a vase from the display case, and smashed it hard on the ground.
With a loud "bang!", both Han Songyan and Bai Xiruo screamed in fright.
Bai Kangyan stared at Han Songyan and Bai Xiruo with a livid face and unusually cold eyes.
"Han Songyan, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Have you ever thought about why Qianmo hasn't called you 'Mom' yet?"
Han Songyan stared blankly at Bai Kangyan with a puzzled expression.
"What am I reflecting on? It's clearly Bai Qianmo who is ill-mannered and can't stand us spoiling Xi Ruo, so she harbors resentment towards us as parents."
Bai Kangyan suppressed his anger, his voice trembling slightly.
“What my sister-in-law said that day was right. Don’t wait until you understand before you try to make amends. You clearly don’t understand the deeper meaning of her words.”
Han Songyan stared at her furious husband.
"Bai Kangyan, you never yell at me, but now you're smashing things in front of me and Xi Ruo for this brat. Did you even consider how we would feel about you?"
Bai Kangyan took a deep breath, his eyes filled with disappointment.
It seems she's truly beyond saving.
He had made his words so clear, but in her eyes and heart, there was only her daughter, Xi Ruo.
"When you wanted to have Qianmo, did you ever think about her? They say children are a piece of flesh that fell from their mother's body. Have you forgotten how carefully you cared for the child in your womb when you were pregnant?"
Han Songyan stood there blankly, that memory seemed so distant, yet also as if it were just yesterday.
“When you accompanied me to the countryside to visit the old man, you went into premature labor and lost a lot of blood because of the heavy snow blocking the mountain. When you were taken to the hospital, you held my hand tightly and said that if we really had to choose one of the two, we must save our child.”
A strange feeling flashed through Bai Qianmo's heart, and she gave Han Songyan a deep look.
There was such a past?
However, even if she risked her life to protect the child in her womb, what difference did it make? In her heart, she still regarded Bai Xiruo as the child she had carried for ten months.
Bai Xiruo stood next to Han Songyan and felt her body tremble slightly.
A sudden panic gripped her heart, and she clutched her dress tightly with both hands.
Clang
Bai Xiruo's body suddenly swayed weakly, and then she collapsed to the ground.
"Xi Ruo!"
"Xi Ruo!"
Han Songyan and Bai Kangyan were startled and immediately surrounded Bai Xiruo.
"Xi Ruo? Xi Ruo, wake up! Don't scare your mother, Xi Ruo..." Han Songyan called out anxiously.
Seeing that Bai Xiruo was unconscious, Bai Kangyan immediately picked her up and carried her horizontally.
"Quick, get the car! We need to get to the hospital right away!"
