After dinner

Bai Xiruo stayed at Longxi Garden.

Bai Luoyu and Bai Kangyan went to the study.

"Dad, do you really think it's appropriate to hold Qianmo and Xiruo's birthday celebrations together?"

Bai Kangyan walked to the desk and sat down. He picked up his glasses, put them on, and looked up at Bai Luoyu.

"Their relationship is so strained, it's really difficult for us family members. Do you have a better solution right now?"

"I have a feeling that putting these two little devils together tomorrow will be like a powder keg about to explode."

Bai Kangyan smiled, picked up the documents on the table, and began to read them.

"You're overthinking it. After what happened before, Xi Ruo has changed a lot. Although Qian Mo is aloof, she's a reasonable person. She would never cause trouble for anyone unless they offend her."

Bai Luoyu still felt that things weren't that simple.

Bai Xiruo returned to her room and took a hot bath in the bathroom.

Thinking about how I spent the whole day with Cao Jie still makes me feel nauseous.

She is the daughter of the Bai family, someone who has been pampered since childhood. Now, in order to get the resources she wants, she has to be subservient and sell her body to achieve her goal.

The more Bai Xiruo thought about it, the more the hatred in her heart seemed like a demon unleashed from its cage.

She stared at herself in the mirror, her pure face filled with only indifference and anger, just like her current state of mind.

"Bai Qianmo, the pain I've suffered, I will repay you tenfold one day. Just you wait!"

Knock knock

There was a knock on the door.

Bai Xiruo put on a bathrobe, casually wrapped her wet hair in a towel, and walked straight to the door after leaving the bathroom.

When she opened the door, she saw Han Songyan standing outside with a glass of milk in her hand, her eyes filled with indifference as she looked at her.

Bai Xiruo glanced down at the milk in Han Songyan's hand.

"I'm so touched that you still remembered to bring me milk." The tone was sarcastic.

Han Songyan coldly looked at Bai Xiruo, who was smiling in front of her. With no outsiders present, she was too lazy to continue acting with her.

She walked straight into the room, casually placed the milk glass in her hand on the desk, and glanced coldly at Bai Xiruo.

"Your father insisted on holding a birthday party at home for you and Qianmo together because he wanted you both to feel that his love for you is equally important. I hope that everyone can get along peacefully tomorrow and that no inexplicable scandals will arise."

"What do you mean, Mom? Do you think I'll do something at the birthday party?" Bai Xiruo looked very innocent.

Han Songyan sneered: "Do I need to remind you of the things you've done?"

"Hehe, you probably forgot what I told you before. As long as I am confirmed as the female lead in 'The Legend of 1900,' Bai Qianmo and I will keep to ourselves from now on. But if Bai Qianmo is the female lead this time, I can't guarantee that there won't be any explosive news tomorrow. After all, I have some juicy gossip."

Han Songyan frowned, her cold gaze revealing deep disappointment.

"Do you really think you can smear Qianmo with those photos? Bai Xiruo, do you know why you always lose to Qianmo? It's because you've always underestimated your opponent."

"Furthermore, let me tell you clearly, Director Kong Shen has decided that Bai Qianmo will play the role of the young female lead in the drama 'The Legend of 1900'. Without a doubt, she is the most suitable candidate."

The smile on Bai Xiruo's face gradually disappeared, and her originally innocent and harmless appearance now turned fierce and ferocious.

"Anything can happen until the day of filming."

"What do you want to do?" Han Songyan stared at the girl in front of her with a wary look.

It was a familiar face, yet it felt utterly foreign to her at that moment.

"Bai Xiruo, if you dare to lay a finger on Qianmo again, I will never let you get away with this!"

Bai Xiruo chuckled coldly twice: "What I want, no one can take away from me. Heh, you should think about yourself first. If your husband finds out that a Taoist priest took naked photos of you, what will he think of you?"

"Slap!" Han Songyan suddenly stepped forward and slapped Bai Xiruo hard across the face.

She was trembling with rage: "You beast, you are a heartless beast! Bai Xiruo, from the day you were born until now, I have always treated you like my own daughter, pampering and caring for you. Is this how you repay me in the end?"

Bai Xiruo turned her face to the side after being slapped. She covered her burning cheek and glared at Han Songyan with hatred.

His eyes were filled with anger and cold-bloodedness.

"Don't put on your fake kindness in front of me. If you had known I wasn't your daughter when I was born, would you still love me so much? Now you still care more about your biological daughter, don't you? Humph, you want me to be grateful to you? Do you know how much I've suffered this past year?"

"Take it out on me if you have any problems. Qianmo is innocent." Han Songyan closed her eyes in anguish.

In her heart, even if the daughter she had raised for twenty years was cold-blooded, she was still the child she had raised.

How easy is it to let go completely?

Bai Xiruo smiled coldly: "I will slowly repay you for the pain you have inflicted on me, bit by bit."

Han Songyan felt a sharp, cutting pain in her heart, but the pain gradually brought her back to her senses.

She slowly raised her eyes to look at Bai Xiruo: "If you dare to hurt Qianmo again, I will definitely keep my word. Even if it means ruining my reputation, I will drag you down to hell with me!"

"We'll see about that."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes.

No one can stop her; no one can stop her from doing what she wants!
