Lin Mingjing's brows furrowed coldly: "Bai Yan, you've always liked to bully An'an since we were little."

"I know you're jealous of how well your brother and I treat An'an. But don't you realize that you've had everything since you were little, while An'an has nothing?"

"If you were even half as well-behaved and sensible as An'an, our family wouldn't have ended up like this!"

“An’an is your sister, and you can do this to her! If you don’t apologize to An’an today, get out of the house right now!”

Lin Mingjing rested his hands on his waist, waiting for his daughter to become hysterical as before, questioning him why he loved An'an instead of her.

He would then tell her to look for the reason within herself.

The original owner needed fatherly love, but Bai Yan did not.

She looked up at Ji An'an: "Did I kill your parents?"

Ji An'an was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled, when she heard Bai Yan say, "What does it matter to me if you're an orphan?"

She smiled and looked at Lin Mingjing, saying, "Also, let me remind you, this house is my mother's estate. My mother's will states that it belongs to me."

"I am its owner. I can let whoever wants to live here or leave, understand?"

Lin Mingjing was stunned, as was Bai Ruohan... Bai Yan was already twenty-two years old and could have inherited her mother's estate long ago.

Ji An'an's expression froze for a moment, and she looked helplessly to the side: "Dad, brother..."

Lin Mingjing frowned and said, "Bai Yan, what do you mean? What, do you want to kick An'an out of the house, and kick our whole family out?"

"If you continue to be so arrogant, I'll take your brother and An'an with me, and you'll just grow old and die here alone!"

Lin Mingjing was certain that Bai Yan wouldn't dare; she dreamed of her father's love.

Bai Yan looked at him: "So if I don't apologize to Ji An'an, you all have to move out?"

Lin Mingjing raised his chin: "Yes, you were wrong about the engagement banquet, you have to apologize!"

Bai Ruohan had already noticed Bai Yan's strange attitude: "Xiao Yan, after all, Mu Yuanchen is An'an's fiancé, right? You're with him... and her engagement party has become a joke... Can you please be more understanding of her?"

Bai Yan smiled back.

She called out, "Aunt Chen."

About fifteen minutes later, all three suitcases were stored on the first floor. Bai Yan clapped her hands and smiled at them, saying, "Weren't you leaving? You can leave now."

Lin Mingjing and Bai Ruohan stood next to the suitcases. Lin Mingjing looked annoyed and embarrassed, unable to back down for a moment.

She took the wrong medicine today!

But he couldn't bring himself to say he wouldn't leave.

Bai Ruohan's lowered eyes darkened: Bai's mother gave all the shares and properties to Bai Yan, leaving him with nothing...

If he can't get his hands on what Bai Yan has, even with just his father's shares, he'll lose his current prestige in this city...

He cannot leave.

“Dad, this is a matter between Xiaoyan and An’an, girls. You shouldn’t interfere,” Bai Ruohan said.

His gaze then fell upon Bai Yan, and he gently advised, "Xiao Yan, your father and I just want our family to be happy together. Don't be too angry. Your father and I are your closest relatives; would we ever harm you?"

"Forget it, forget it, I can't interfere in your affairs anymore!" Lin Mingjing took the opportunity to back down, pretending to be angry as he went upstairs.

Bai Yan didn't stop him.

As Bai Ruohan breathed a sigh of relief, she looked at Bai Yan with some doubt in her eyes, "Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you..." She was different from before. How could Bai Yan have done such a thing before? "Did something happen to you?"

Bai Yan smiled and looked at Bai Ruohan with amusement: "Yes, I've realized that you weren't actually unable to understand me."

"If this method makes it understandable to you, I will use it more often in the future."

Bai Ruohan's expression changed. She wanted to say something, but in the end she said, "I'm going upstairs to find Dad."

Only Bai Yan and Ji An'an remained in the lobby on the first floor. Ji An'an clenched her fists tightly; she had never felt so awkward in front of Bai Yan before.

Bai Yan chuckled softly, picked up her phone, and prepared to return to her bedroom, instructing the nanny, "Get me another glass of milk."

My perfectly good breakfast was ruined.

After Bai Yan went upstairs, Ji An'an's face turned rather ugly. The engagement banquet had turned into such a mess, and now things were like this at home. What had Bai Yan done wrong?

Just then, Ji An'an's phone rang. It was him!

She answered the phone immediately, but her tone sounded somewhat helpless: "Hello, Uncle Fang... Yes, something happened at the engagement banquet, I... I'm not feeling well right now."

"But it won't matter, I'll take you to pay respects to my mother."

"Uncle Fang, are you coming to see me?"

"OK."

Ji An'an blushed slightly after saying this.

If Uncle Fang knew that Bai Yan was bullying her like this, he would definitely be very angry.

...

Bai Yan, wearing a shawl and holding a cup of milk, looked down from the second-floor balcony.

She could have kicked the whole family out... but that would have alerted them.

Secondly, even without their birth mother's inheritance, Lin Mingjing and his son, along with Ji An'an, have already established themselves in the city and amassed considerable wealth over the years thanks to the Bai family.

If we don't swindle them out of their fortunes, how can we justify their scheming?

Bai Yan leaned against the balcony, watching a low-key black car appear at the villa's entrance. She naturally assumed it was one of Ji An'an's protectors, and her gaze swept over it, but a moment later her eyes returned.

Bai Yan has excellent eyesight in both eyes, and even from a great distance, she can see everything downstairs clearly.

Staring in disbelief at the man getting out of the car, it was him?
