Bai Qianmo's eyes turned slightly cold. She raised her hand and clenched it, exerting a little force, causing Han Songyan to cry out in pain.

Bai Kangyan rushed up and quickly pulled Han Songyan aside.

He used his body to shield Bai Qianmo and Han Songyan.

"Calm down, everyone. Let's sit down and talk things out calmly."

Han Songyan forcefully pushed Bai Kangyan away, pointing angrily at Bai Qianmo's face.

"Bai Qianmo, have you no shame? How old are you? You've already learned to stay out all night. Which wild man were you fooling around with last night?"

“Our Bai family has always been honest and upright. I, Han Songyan, have always been proud and arrogant. How could I have given birth to such a wicked child as you?”

"Tell me, who was that old man who brought you back? How far have things progressed between you two? Tell me now!"

Han Songyan was already somewhat hysterical, showing none of her usual poise and elegance.

"Alright, you start hitting and scolding the child as soon as she gets back. You should at least give her a chance to explain." Bai Kangyan had a headache and roared at Han Songyan.

"You're still protecting her? Don't you know the saying 'spoiling a child is like killing him'? She's on a path that everyone will despise. Do you really want to wait until she makes a huge mistake and it becomes public knowledge, so that people will criticize you behind your back?"

Han Songyan glared at Bai Kangyan, then turned to look at Bai Qianmo.

"Bai Qianmo, I warned you before, if you insist on being so stubborn, I don't necessarily have to acknowledge you as my daughter. Just pretend I never gave birth to you."

Bai Xiruo cautiously walked up and looked at Bai Qianmo with friendly eyes, "Qianmo, Mom is doing this for your own good. You should apologize to her quickly."

Bai Qianmo suddenly laughed, her voice slightly cold: "Apologize? Apologize for something you didn't do. Isn't that just digging your own grave? Are you stupid or doing this on purpose?"

Bai Xiruo's face paled, and she bit her lip lightly, looking completely innocent.

"Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. I just don't want to see the relationship between you and Mom continue to be so strained."

Bai Qianmo sneered: "If that's really what you think, you should shut up right now!"

"I'm sorry, I misspoke!" Bai Xiruo lowered her eyes and apologized immediately.

"Bai Qianmo, you're shameless and so self-righteous. Why should Xi Ruo apologize to you? She's worried that you'll humiliate her again. You're being completely unreasonable." Seeing Bai Xi Ruo being wronged, Han Songyan, like a mother eagle protecting her cubs, pulled Bai Xi Ruo to her side.

"Mom, don't say anymore. As long as you and Sister Qianmo can make up, I'm fine."

Bai Qianmo looked at the magnificent white lotus flower in front of her with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

You can never truly see how deep the emotions are behind a seemingly innocent facade.

"Say no more!"

Bai Kangyan spoke coldly, glancing at Bai Xiruo and Han Songyan with a chilling gaze.

“It was wrong of you to hit the child before the matter was clarified. Xi Ruo, don’t make things worse. You’ve had a long day, go back to your room and rest.”

Bai Kangyan's words, though seemingly calm, were full of profound wisdom.

To Bai Xiruo, it felt like a sharp knife scraping across her face.

"Well...you two have a good chat, I'm going back to my room first."

Bai Xiruo turned and left with a dejected look on her face.

Han Songyan felt heartbroken seeing Bai Xiruo leave alone with tears in her eyes.

"Why are you taking your anger out on Xi Ruo? That girl is the one who's being indecent, and it's wrong for Xi Ruo to speak up for her?"

Bai Kangyan's face was gloomy: "I'm just stating the facts. Since this matter concerns Qianmo, others interfering will only make things more complicated. You're emotional right now, and I don't want to argue with you."

After saying that, Bai Kangyan turned to Bai Qianmo and said, "Qianmo, you should explain it to us so that we can feel at ease. After all, you are still young, and we are so angry because we are afraid that you will be hurt outside."

Bai Qianmo's gaze fell on Bai Kangyan's face, and she saw that his expression was sincere, with a hint of worry in it.

She took two pieces of paper out of her pocket and handed them to him.

Bai Kangyan reached out and took it, then looked down at the form in his hand.

One of them is a medical record that reads "viral cold, upper respiratory tract infection, high fever of 39.4 degrees Celsius."

The other document is a hospitalization certificate from the Second Provincial Hospital.

This is what she asked the hospital for after finishing her IV drip this afternoon.

She had long anticipated that Han Songyan would pull this stunt, as she hadn't gone home for a day and a night.

To be on the safe side, she prepared in advance.

As she expected, it was exactly as she predicted.

Bai Kangyan held the two forms, his tall figure trembling slightly as he suppressed his anger.

His eyes were bloodshot as he slammed the two sheets of paper into Han Songyan's face.

"Look at yourself, ask yourself honestly, are you even a competent mother?"

The thin piece of paper, infused with the man's anger, still stung when it hit his face.

Han Songyan caught it subconsciously, glanced down at it, and a deep look of surprise flashed across her delicate face.

She didn't go home last night because she had a high fever and was hospitalized?

At this moment, Han Songyan's arrogance vanished instantly. Knowing she was in the wrong, she dared not look at Bai Qianmo again.

I felt my cheeks burning, and a wave of shame washed over me.

She thought the girl was out fooling around, never expecting the truth to be like this.

I felt a pang of guilt, but I just couldn't bring myself to say the words of apology.

Bai Kangyan ignored Han Songyan and immediately ordered Zhang Ma to make a pot of chicken soup to dispel the cold. Then he asked Bai Qianmo about it with concern.

Only after confirming several times that she was alright did they feel relieved.
