At the dinner table, the family of five ate in silence, creating an unusually awkward atmosphere.

Bai Qianmo didn't say another word. She ate a few bites of food and then got up and left.

In Han Songyan's eyes, Bai Qianmo was deliberately provoking her.

The more lazy and aloof Bai Qianmo was, the more intense Han Songyan's anger burned.

After dinner, Han Songyan returned to her room with a sullen face.

Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, staring intently at her reflection, her face somewhat pale.

Everyone says that Bai Qianmo's face looks like her when she was young, but she doesn't like hearing that.

Even though she knew that Bai Qianmo was her biological daughter, she still felt a strong sense of rejection whenever she thought about how this girl grew up in the countryside, had no education, no manners, and no worldly experience.

This feeling was very bad, but she couldn't control herself.

Bai Kangyan followed her into the house, closed the door, and sat down next to his wife.

"Honey, your attitude just now seemed a bit inappropriate."

Han Songyan rubbed her temples in annoyance: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself."

Bai Kangyan smiled gently, stood up, and gently massaged Han Songyan's shoulders.

“I understand. After all, Qianmo has never lived with us since she was little. It’s normal that you don’t know how to get along with her right away. Take it slow.”

Han Songyan sighed: "Am I too demanding? I only hope that she can be half as good as Xi Ruo, and then I won't ask for anything more, but obviously, she is far from it."

Bai Kangyan remained silent for a while: "Actually, the way Qianmo is now is largely due to us as her parents. If Qianmo had grown up with us, she might have been as outstanding as Xiruo."

What if Qianmo had grown up by my side?

Han Songyan imagined that if this child had been by her side from birth, perhaps she would have loved her as much as she loved Xi Ruo.

Han Songyan's furrowed brows gradually relaxed. The thing she was most grateful for in her life was marrying a gentle and understanding husband.

She has a strong personality, and often Bai Kangyan disagrees with her actions, but he will try to persuade her gently.

Actually, she knew that her attitude at the dinner table was terrible, but seeing Bai Qianmo's cheap watch dangling in front of her eyes made her furious.

"Honey, I'll be more careful about my attitude in the future, after all, she's my daughter too."

...

Bai Qianmo returned to her room

After taking a hot shower and drying my hair, I picked up my phone and logged into WeChat. Suddenly, a series of messages popped up.

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, are you there?"

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge? I need to talk to you urgently, come out quickly."

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, I'm your sweetheart from Daming Lake. You haven't contacted me for three days. Could it be... could it be that you've found someone new?"

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, am I still your darling? You heartless scumbag! Scumbag!!"

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Waaah, Ye Ge, I don't want to break up, please don't dump me..."

Bai Qianmo opened the chat box, ready to reply.

As soon as she typed "Yes", the other person immediately displayed an excited kneeling emoji.

I am Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, you're finally online! Oh my god, I thought I'd been dumped. I didn't eat or drink for three whole days, just waiting for your reply on your WeChat page."

Bai Qianmo stared at the screen in silence for three seconds. Before she could reply, the guy replied instantly. It seemed he wasn't lying.

He was able to reply instantly because he saw her "typing" message.

She deleted the word "有" that she had just typed; she had originally intended to reply with "Spit it out."

"Speak, what is it?"

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Actually, I miss you so much that I can't eat or sleep..."

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, have you missed me? Do you feel that without me, your incredibly smart, handsome, and rich sweetheart, by your side, your life is dull, monotonous, and boring?"

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, Ye Ge, why aren't you saying anything? Are you moved to tears by me?"

Bai Qianmo's cold eyes gradually froze into ice.

She rubbed her throbbing temples with her slender hand. It was her fault!

Reply instantly.

"Spit it out!"

I am Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge, your temper is still so fiery, so cool! Okay, let's get down to business. Ye Ge, there's been news that someone in the G-group offered 50 million to buy you out, but Fifth Master has already suppressed it. You'd better be careful."

Bai Qianmo raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, a cold light flashed in her beautiful peach blossom eyes, and her pink lips curled indifferently, full of disdain.

He then tossed his phone aside.

I got up, walked to the computer desk, and turned on the computer.

She quickly logged into a software with a black icon, and soon a series of information appeared in front of her.

Just as she expected, it was that person who made the move.

"Beep...beep...beep"

A low vibration came from her backpack. Bai Qianmo reached into her bag, pulled out another phone, glanced at the number, and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

"Have you read the documents?" A deep, aged voice slowly came from the other end.

"Hmm!" Bai Qianmo glanced at the data on the computer, her voice still carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"Don't take this lightly. The people behind the Huo family are not easy to deal with. This time you almost caused the entire Huo family to go bankrupt. They've already started investigating you." The old man's voice became more forceful, seemingly somewhat displeased with Bai Qianmo's attitude.

"I will handle it as soon as possible!"

Before the other end could say anything more, Bai Qianmo decisively hung up the phone and then turned it off!

The cell phone on the bed kept ringing incessantly.

Bai Qianmo picked up her phone and opened WeChat.

I'm Ye Ge's Sweetheart: "Ye Ge? Ye Ge? Why aren't you saying anything again? I have something important to tell you."

Then, a series of screenshots and a video were sent over.

The first screenshot is titled "Gu Jueye wins the Northel Biology Prize, becoming the youngest winner in Northel's 300-year history."

The picture above shows a tall, handsome man with an Eastern face standing on the stage at the Northel Awards ceremony. He is elegant, focused, and has deep eyes. He exudes a noble aura from the inside out.

Even standing among a group of white people, he was still the most dazzling presence.

The second title reads: "Lord Sir leaves the Y Country Biological Research Center and decides to return to China to develop his career. China's cell biology research level will reach a new level."

The following screenshots were all news reports, all praising and admiring the content.

Then came that video.

Bai Qianmo clicked on the video. In the video, the man, escorted by two assistants, was walking towards the airport exit.

A female reporter suddenly rushed out from the crowd and blocked the man's way.

"My lord, do you have a girlfriend?"

The man stopped in his tracks, his gaze growing increasingly dark and cold.

After a long silence, he finally answered, "No!"
