Chapter 34.

The bright lights illuminated the entire hall in every detail. Qian Yirong was standing on the left side of the hall, while the other members of the Qian family, including Xu Baiqing who was pulled to sit next to Qian's mother, were on the right side, creating a comprehensive suppression of Qian Yirong.

Xu Baiqing noticed that the atmosphere was a little off. If she had followed her usual way of doing things, she should have stayed by Qianmu's side to protect herself, observed quietly, and then pushed the development of things in a direction that would be more beneficial to her.

But seeing Qian Yirong's isolated and helpless appearance, Xu Baiqing almost immediately wanted to stand up and stand beside her, but Qian's mother, who was holding her hand, noticed Xu Baiqing's movements and she pulled Xu Baiqing hard.

Qian's mother was actually very satisfied with her biological daughter. After all, compared to Qian Yirong, who had been taught by Qu Xueer for so long but still failed to win the favor of Mu Zexuan and other young masters, this biological daughter who made Mu Zexuan look at her with admiration not long after she was adopted was more in line with her expectations for a daughter.

It's a pity that maybe because she didn't grow up by his side, this daughter is too naive and simple. Qian Yirong's hostility towards her is obvious, but Xu Baiqing still treats Qian Yirong as his own sister and wants to be friends with her.

Now is not the time for Xu Baiqing to interfere. After all, not only her, but also her husband and son have received news from the Mu family. Although it is not explicitly stated, it is obvious that they want them to separate Xu Baiqing and Qian Yirong.

Compared to Qian Yirong, who is no longer of much value, Xu Baiqing is naturally more important. Moreover, she has been back for a short time but has not yet developed enough feelings with them and the Qian family, so they naturally will not let Xu Baiqing leave home. Therefore, the person who needs to be sacrificed is naturally destined.

Qian Yirong also noticed Xu Baiqing's actions. After Xu Baiqing looked at her with concern, she shook her head slightly, telling her not to make any movements. Qian Yirong also realized that the atmosphere at the scene was directed at her, so she remained silent and planned to deal with it according to the situation.

"Rongrong, you're grown up now. We bought a house near Shengde and put it in your name. Do you want to move out and live there?" Qian's mother spoke first. Her tone was gentle, but the meaning of her words was very clear.

Qian Yirong was stunned. She had originally thought of finding a chance to say that she wanted to move out, but unexpectedly, good news came. Not only did she get what she wanted, but she also got a house for free. However, the Qian family's inexplicable move of asking her to move out made her afraid that someone had interfered.

Qian Yirong's stunned behavior caused the three members of the Qian family to misunderstand that Qian Yirong was unwilling to move out. If that was the case, since there was Qian's mother who played the good guy, there naturally had to be someone who played the bad guy.

"After all, you have no blood relationship with our family, but we have developed feelings for you over the years. However, you should also know that everything in the house will be left to Cheng Shu and Bai Qing, so you must also understand the situation in advance." Qian's father said.

These words obviously told Qian Yirong not to covet the Qian family's property, so Qian Yirong was asked to move out of the house to remind her that she was not a member of the Qian family, and to let her understand that she actually had nothing to do with the Qian family.

"Dad..." Mr. Qian's words were so harsh. Xu Baiqing looked at Qian Yirong who lowered her head with concern. He found that her hands hanging at her sides were clenched tightly. He was worried about her emotions and couldn't help but speak.

"Qingqing, don't say anything about this." Qian Chengshu stopped Xu Baiqing from speaking for Qian Yirong. They had already discussed it before Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing came back, and there was no room for turning back.

So in order to prevent Xu Baiqing from speaking and making things more complicated, Qian Chengshu interrupted her and at the same time made it clear that the matter had been decided and would never be changed.

"...I know. I'll go pack my things." Qian Yirong said in a hoarse voice and immediately went upstairs to pack her things.

After Qian Yirong left, Xu Baiqing couldn't wait to break free from Qian's mother's hand. Although she had long known the cold nature of the Qian family, she still felt a little cold in her heart when she saw them driving away Qian Yirong, with whom she had been living for so many years, without hesitation.

"Mom and Dad, how could you treat my sister like this?" Xu Baiqing said angrily in a low voice. Turning to Qian Chengshu, he angrily said, "Brother, you too, why don't you speak up for my sister?"

Facing Xu Baiqing's excited questioning, the other three people from the Qian family had calm expressions, looking at her as if she were an ignorant child. However, in their opinion, Xu Baiqing had no idea why they did this.

Although there were indeed hints from the Mu family, they were more out of a desire to prevent Qian Yirong from having any inappropriate thoughts. This was also for Xu Baiqing's own good. Compared to Qian Yirong who grew up with them, Xu Baiqing was too naive and could easily be calculated by Qian Yirong.

"Things are not as simple as you think. We have no choice but to do this." Qian's mother looked at Xu Baiqing and said. Of course, she couldn't tell Xu Baiqing the darker part of her heart, so Qian's mother acted a little painful and regarded letting Qian Yirong leave here as being forced.

"What do you mean?" Xu Baiqing asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Rongrong has offended someone. We have no choice. Letting her leave here is also a way to protect her." Qian's mother said seriously.

Qian's mother's ambiguous words gave Xu Baiqing a flash of inspiration. She thought of something and immediately gritted her teeth. She no longer looked at the other people in the Qian family in the living room, and said, "I'll go help my sister." and ran upstairs.

"Just leave it like this?" Qian Chengshu said. What his mother said just now basically meant that they were forced to let Qian Yirong leave home. If Qian Yirong acted impulsively, she might offend Mu Zexuan.

"It doesn't matter much," Qian's father said calmly, "Mu Zexuan treats Bai Qing differently, and he sees Rongrong more clearly than Bai Qing does. Bai Qing might blame him now, but once Bai Qing sees Rongrong clearly, she'll realize that Mu Zexuan is doing this for her own good, and their relationship will deepen."

"I understand." Qian Chengshu nodded. He accepted his father's behavior of using Qian Yirong as a stepping stone to improve the relationship between Xu Baiqing and Mu Zexuan.

After all, if Xu Baiqing could really marry Mu Zexuan successfully, their Qian family would naturally benefit as well. It would just be sacrificing a sister who was not related by blood. Their Qian family had raised Qian Yirong for so many years, so she should give something in return.

Not knowing what the other people in the Qian family said after he left, Xu Baiqing felt a little panic when standing at Qian Yirong's door. After hearing what Qian's mother said, it was as if she was telling Xu Baiqing that Qian Yirong was kicked out because of her.

Just when Xu Baiqing didn't know whether he should knock on the door, the door in front of him suddenly opened. Qian Yirong was dragging a suitcase calmly, but when she saw Xu Baiqing standing at her door, she showed some surprise.

"Sister..." Xu Baiqing suddenly saw Qian Yirong, and his already red eyes became even redder. The corners of his bright red eyes looked pitiful, with tears about to fall in them.

"You..." Qian Yirong started, subconsciously looked around, and then said, "Forget it, come in first."

As Qian Yirong spoke, she pushed the packed suitcase in her hand to the door, pulled Xu Baiqing into the room, and then closed the door. After Xu Baiqing was pulled into the room by Qian Yirong, tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Don't cry first." Qian Yirong looked at Xu Baiqing who was crying quietly. She looked more pitiful and aggrieved than usual, which made Qian Yirong feel distressed. She pressed her down on the sofa, took a few tissues from the table, and gently wiped Xu Baiqing's tears.

But what she didn't expect was that after she got closer, Xu Baiqing hugged her waist and buried his head in her arms. His shoulders twitched slightly, and he was obviously still crying.

Qian Yirong patted Xu Baiqing's back soothingly. She didn't expect that she would be so sad. It seemed that after she went back to her room to pack her things, the other people in the Qian family must have said something, otherwise Xu Baiqing would not have been so emotionally broken.

"Be good, don't cry yet." Qian Yirong was worried that she would become physically unwell due to being too excited. After all, Xu Baiqing's health had always been poor, and she should try to avoid such intense emotions as extreme sorrow and joy.

"...I'm sorry." The person in her arms made a muffled sound, and the choked apology made Qian Yirong feel sad.

"It's not your fault, why are you apologizing to me?" Qian Yirong said, pulling Xu Baiqing away forcefully, holding her face, looking at her messy hair rubbed in her arms and the tear marks on her face, and sighed softly.

"It's all my fault..." Xu Baiqing pouted in grievance, and before she finished her words, tears fell again.

While Qian Yirong was tidying up Xu Baiqing's messy hair and wiping her tears, she listened to her chattering about what Qian's mother had just told her downstairs. After listening, Qian Yirong felt that no matter how smart Xu Baiqing was, she was still a little naive.

It was obvious that there was another hidden story behind this matter. What Qian's mother said was just the most superficial and insignificant reason, but Xu Baiqing directly took all the blame.

"Come, don't cry first, just listen to me obediently..." Qian Yirong wiped away the tears from the corners of Xu Baiqing's eyes soothingly, and analyzed the cause and effect of the matter for her.

Xu Baiqing listened carefully, her tears gradually stopped, and she showed some sudden enlightenment. So that's how it was. Although on the surface the Qian family was threatened and driven away Qian Yirong, whom they had raised since childhood, the Qian family would not only receive considerable compensation, but might even get more.

After listening to Qian Yirong's analysis, Xu Baiqing's dark pupils became even darker and deeper. No matter what, everything was because she had no say in the Qian family, and Qian Yirong could abandon her at any time. Therefore, only if she became strong could things like today not happen again. She didn't want to feel so powerless again.
