Meng Qingyang had planned to accompany Bai Wei to the banquet, but Meng Langya's sudden contact disrupted his plans.

But when his aunt found out that he was with Qu Jian'er, her attitude changed instantly.

There was absolutely no initial reprimand.

Not only was he allowed to remain in the empire.

The other party even gave him his teeth, personally eliminating the possibility of him using his teeth to search for him again.

This left Meng Qingyang full of doubts.

Orcs go through three stages in their lives: infancy, adolescence, and adulthood. The transformation into adolescence is marked by the loss of baby teeth, and teeth are an extremely private symbol.

When the teeth find their home, and when the pheromones learn to mark, it will be the end of a young orc's form.

Holding the bracelet woven from teeth, Meng Qingyang longed to share his joy at becoming an adult with Bai Wei.

But when he saw someone being "bullied" by Mrs. Bai, he wanted nothing more than to rush forward and help.

Qu Jian'er stopped them: "Calm down."

Meng Qingyang pursed her lips and said, "Sister Qu."

Qu Jian'er rambled on, "At this time, it's all about who's more composed. As Weiwei's future man and her current man, we must remain calm and collected."

Meng Qingyang: "..." Did you slip in something strange in what you just said?

Qu Jian'er had barely finished speaking.

When Grandma Bai saw the takeout box behind Bai Wei, she looked at it with surprise and asked, "What are you carrying? Weiwei, why are you packing something like this?"

Bai Wei hadn't spoken yet.

Qu Jian'er rushed over: "Excuse me, just kidding, I asked her to pack it up!"

Fearing that the old woman might drop it if her hand slipped, she quickly caught it in her hands.

Finally, I took a look through it.

Ensure the food remains intact.

Meng Qingyang: "..." Who told me to calm down just now?

Bai Wei: "..." Give me back my sorrow!

An awkward atmosphere.

The atmosphere instantly filled the banquet.

Right now.

Everyone had the same thought: Had they misheard? Qu Jian'er was a public figure, and Bai Wei was a member of the Bai family; surely they wouldn't take the food home?

[That's right, these are the cookies we're packing! So embarrassing, I want to crawl into a hole.]

[As die-hard cookie lovers, we're incredibly proud... just kidding, have some sense of occasion, cookies!]

[Very good, it's like Qu Yuan's unrestrained style.]

[Speaking of which, Cookie's manager is really from the Bai family, that's impressive!]

[But they couldn't escape an arranged marriage; it's truly tragic.]

Wow, this is what they call a wealthy family. Suddenly I'm not envious at all anymore!

Seeing Qu Jian'er join in, the reporters seemed to foresee an irreversible future.

For example, the banquet might encounter some fatal problem due to Qu Jian'er's blessing, leading to its termination.

They started using poor signal as an excuse to quickly shut down the live stream and prevent the scandal from being leaked.

As expected.

Then I saw that Old Mrs. Bai was furious.

The old lady stared straight at Qu Jian'er: "You're one of the artists under Weiwei's management? Tell me the truth, did you corrupt our Weiwei? She used to be such a humble, outstanding, and self-disciplined person."

Qu Jian'er looked at Bai Wei: "..." She was talking about you?

Bai Wei looked back and said: "..." Thank you for the invitation. That's just my outward appearance.

Qu Jian'er knew that Old Madam Bai was only angry for a moment. When the other party realized how good she was, she would be happy for Bai Wei to become her partner. Out of respect for the elderly and love for the young, she did not object.

Mrs. Bai stood to the side.

She was furious. She had finally managed to persuade the old lady to act as a matchmaker for Bai Wei, and then Qu Jian'er appeared.

She was determined to get Bai Wei out of the Bai family, and she couldn't let things get messed up.

Mrs. Bai whispered a reminder: "So many people are watching, we can't let them laugh at us."

Bai Wei looked at Mrs. Bai in shock, her eyes becoming unfocused in an instant: "What a joke! Does packing some food for a friend mean I'm disgracing the Bai family? Never mind, you're not... and I can't expect you to understand me."

As he spoke.

Bai Wei covered her face and trembled.

Those trembling shoulders conveyed a sense of pitifulness.

She sobbed slightly, her ability to instantly turn aggrieved was a true inheritance from Qu Jian'er.

Bai Wei burst into tears.

Like a frightened rabbit, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at people pitifully.

Mrs. Bai stood there, stunned.

She never expected Bai Wei to have changed so much.

In the past, whenever they had a dispute, Bai Wei would either remain silent or argue hysterically with her.

She could handle either situation with ease, but she didn't expect Bai Wei to show weakness.

When the Bai family saw Bai Wei become unusually gentle, they hurriedly tried to comfort her.

Even Bai Rushi joined in.

Qu Jian'er stood beside Bai Wei, seemingly comforting her, but actually signaling Bai Wei to cry harder.

How to deal with a scheming stepmother?

Then be even more innocent and pure than the other person!

More and more people are showing their accusations.

Mrs. Bai, who was standing to the side, could no longer stand still.

She has been married into the Bai family ever since.

It's been more than ten years.

This is the first time she hasn't been able to keep a straight face in front of Bai Wei.

That statement, after all, is nothing.

Everyone knows the answer without even having to guess.

She has schemed and plotted all these years.

It was all so that she could secure her position in the Bai family and have her son, Bai Rushi, inherit the family business.

Bai Wei's few simple words wiped out her years of hard work!

Mrs. Bai quickly corrected her, "Weiwei, you misunderstood me. What I meant was, today is the old lady's birthday banquet. Why don't you take a look and see if there's anyone you like?"

Bai Wei did not respond.

Qu Jian'er retorted sarcastically, "You're probably a plant from another family, aren't you? Otherwise, why are you so eager to marry off our Weiwei? Did she eat your rice? Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to get rid of her? It can't be that the world is cold-hearted."

Mrs. Bai: "!?!"

Qu Jian'er looked at Bai Wei as she spoke, shook her head and sighed, "If I remember correctly, you ate Bai family rice about two years ago. People are still holding onto that so petty. Anyone who doesn't know better would think you're an adopted daughter like me."

Everyone: "..." You've calculated it very clearly, making us feel that the Bai family is mistreating their own children.

Qu Jian'er continued regretfully, "Wei, so you're an outsider too. You only eat a little rice, and someone's already rushing to marry you off. Oh, my poor child."

Bai Wei felt no sadness at all because of Qu Jian'er, but she still had to pretend to be very aggrieved.

Therefore, no matter how the Bai family tried to comfort her, she hid on Qu Jian'er's shoulder and refused to look up.

Mrs. Bai gritted her teeth and looked at the sharp-tongued woman: "Miss Qu is joking. How could my Bai family send Weiwei out of the house over something so trivial?"

Qu Jian'er said seriously, "That's hard to say. What if it's some heartless stepmother who's pretending to be doing this for Weiwei's sake in order to benefit the Bai family's assets? That wouldn't be a bad thing."

Mrs. Bai nearly suffocated.

She felt a wave of dizziness.

There was no other reason than that Qu Jian'er had hit the nail on the head.
