After pondering for a while, Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you think of Xi Ruo? That girl is quite nice, I really like her."

Li Yushu remained silent for a long time before saying, "You shouldn't worry about my affairs."

Although there was no direct refusal, the meaning behind the words was quite clear.

Madam Li's heart sank, and she glared at Li Yushu.

"You can't even find a girl as good as Xi Ruo to your liking? Let's see what kind of person you'll be interested in in the future. Let me be frank, don't even think about girls like Bai Qianmo!"

Vulgar and rude, showing no respect for elders.

A girl with such poor manners should never even dream of entering the Li family!

The Bai family is in complete chaos at this moment.

The sounds of Liu Ma pleading and crying could be heard from the living room from time to time.

"Mr. Bai, I have worked for the Bai family for almost thirty years. I truly consider the Bai family my own home. Please don't send me away."

Bai Kangyan sat in front of the sofa, his expression gloomy, exuding a sinister aura as if a storm was brewing.

"Here's 100,000 yuan, consider it a thank you for your 30 years of hard work for the Bai family. The driver is waiting outside. Pack your things and leave." The voice was cold and resolute.

Liu Ma cried her eyes out.

Seeing Bai Kangyan's resolute attitude, she looked at Han Songyan standing to the side with tears in her eyes.

"Madam, I don't want to leave you! Please don't send me away, sob sob..."

Han Songyan glanced at Liu Ma with a pang of pity, then turned to face Bai Kangyan.

"Honey, Aunt Liu, she..."

"Shut up!" Bai Kangyan interrupted her coldly.

He didn't even twitch his eyelids.

"No one will plead for mercy today."

Han Songyan froze, staring in astonishment at the man beside her.

I felt really bad.

Knowing that Bai Kangyan was angry at the moment, Han Songyan didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing that Bai Kangyan didn't even want to listen to Han Songyan's words, Liu Ma felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.

In the end, he could only pack his things, dejected and heartbroken, and leave the Bai family.

After seeing Liu Ma off, Bai Kangyan arrived at Bai Qianmo's room.

After hesitating for a while, I finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

Bai Qianmo opened the door and calmly glanced at him.

His expression was calm.

It's as if nothing just happened.

But Bai Kangyan sensed that something was missing in her gaze when she looked at him.

My heart clenched suddenly, and a wave of disappointment washed over me.

"Qianmo... I'm sorry! I'm not a good father."

He was too ashamed to see her, but right now, he desperately wanted to know if his daughter really resented him.

I felt sorry for her and secretly hated myself for being so foolish.

Bai Qianmo scoffed and shrugged dismissively.

"It's nothing, just what I expected."

The moment Bai Xiruo lost her bracelet, she guessed that she must be involved in it.

Sure enough, the bracelet appeared in her room.

Bai Xiruo's purpose was clear: to completely ruin Madam Li's reputation in front of her.

In truth, Bai Xiruo knew very well that the Bai family would not believe her. As long as the bracelet appeared in her room, it would be irrefutable evidence.

This has indeed proven to be true.

Even Bai Kangyan, who was closest to Bai Qianmo, stood against her at a crucial moment.

The Beijing metropolitan area is only so big.

If someone has a scandal, it will spread like wildfire throughout the industry within a day.

Moreover, the Bai family is a prominent family with a certain status in Beijing's social circles.

Countless eyes are secretly watching.

If this mudslinging is really thrown at her today, it will only become a major stain on the Bai family when her identity is revealed.

Bai Xiruo's move was intended to ensure that she would have no chance of making a comeback.

What Bai Xiruo didn't expect was that a miniature camera had already been installed in the room on the day she entered the Bai family.

Bai Kangyan had a lot to say, but staring at the calm and clear eyes in front of him...

Suddenly, he couldn't utter a single word.

"You...you should get some rest."

Bai Kangyan walked towards the door.

A cold, eerie voice slowly drifted from behind.

"If there is a next time, I will never let her off so easily again."

Bai Kangyan's back stiffened abruptly, and he stood frozen in place.

He understood what she meant.

However, the emotional turmoil made him hesitant to think in that direction.

*

"Mom, I don't know why Aunt Liu would do this. Now Dad and Qianmo must think that this has something to do with me." Bai Qianmo said softly, her voice filled with innocence and sadness.

Han Songyan seemed a little absent-minded, her brows furrowed as she pondered something.

Why would Qianmo have a camera installed in her room?

Why did she do that?

And when she said the bracelet was fake, her gaze and demeanor were too calm and natural.

It didn't sound like a casual remark at all.

Moreover, it was she who took the initiative to invite the jade appraiser.

The scene was chaotic, and she was preoccupied with getting the girl to admit her mistake, so she had no time to think about anything else.

Now that she's calmed down and thought about it carefully, there are many things she can't understand.

How could Qianmo, a junior high school graduate, tell the difference between real and fake jade?

Did she have relevant work experience during the years she dropped out of school?

"mom?"

Seeing that Han Songyan remained silent for a long time, Bai Xiruo's face showed some tension.

Han Songyan snapped out of her daze and glanced at Bai Xiruo.

Only then did he realize what Bai Xiruo had just said.

"Xi Ruo, this has nothing to do with you, don't overthink it."

Bai Xiruo bit her lip lightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Not everyone believes in me like you do." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Han Songyan felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Bai Xiruo's sad appearance.

She gently pulled Bai Xiruo into her arms with tenderness: "As long as Mom believes in you, that's enough. With Mom here, no one can bully you."

This child was raised with half a lifetime of effort by her.

Even without blood ties, in her heart, Xi Ruo is her own daughter.
