Bai Qiongyu glanced at He Tiantian, and was about to speak when Grandma Qi spoke up.
“That’s my granddaughter,” Grandma Qi said. “Do you have a problem with that?”
Ye Weiwen was taken aback. He glanced at Anna behind the old lady and chuckled awkwardly, "Your granddaughter looks a lot like my sister Bai, especially when she was young. She was so pretty and charming. Otherwise, Old Xin wouldn't have taken a liking to her at first sight and pursued her so relentlessly!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qiongyu became furious.
If I don't explain, I'm afraid He Tiantian will misunderstand.
Explaining it would be beneath me to lower my standards and stoop to the level of this woman.
However, Bai Qiongyu didn't want to talk about those old, trivial matters; they were all in the past anyway.
Now that Grandma Qi can confidently say that He Tiantian is her granddaughter, why can't she say it?
What is she still worried about?
What storms hasn't Bai Qiongyu weathered? Who has she ever been afraid of?
“This is He Tiantian, my granddaughter,” Bai Qiongyu said. “Sister Qi, this is my late husband’s ex-wife Ye Weiwen, who could only share wealth but not hardship. And next to her is my stepdaughter, Xin An’an.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Weiwen and Xin An'an were immediately dumbfounded.
The mother and daughter were dumbfounded for different reasons.
Ye Weiwen was furious that Bai Qiongyu had reopened her wounds, saying that she could only share wealth and prosperity, not hardship.
She regretted it too. If she had known it was just a false alarm, she wouldn't have done that!
On the other hand, Xin An'an was both angry and anxious. If her granddaughter was like this, then she would definitely have to choose her son.
If a stepmother has her own son, what benefits will her stepchildren receive in the future?
“Mother, you can’t just assume someone looks like you and treat them as your granddaughter!” Xin An’an said. “It’s better to be cautious.”
Bai Qiongyu glanced at Xin An'an and smiled, saying, "It can't be wrong. It's my own child, I know."
Ye Weiwen sneered, pulled his daughter back, and said coldly, "Sister Bai, you're too shameless. You had a child outside behind Lao Xin's back."
“Unlike some people, I remarried a few years after my divorce. I don’t want some people to cheat on their spouses,” Bai Qiongyu said. Since this person didn’t give her any face, she wouldn’t give Ye Weiwen a kind look either.
"Bai Qiongyu, don't spout nonsense!" Ye Weiwen said angrily, pointing at Bai Qiongyu.
Bai Qiongyu coldly laughed: "If I were talking nonsense, would you still be so angry and flustered?"
"You...you shouldn't be so smug..." Ye Weiwen said angrily, looking at Bai Qiongyu and then at He Tiantian.
Bai Qiongyu squinted at Ye Weiwen and Xin An'an, and said, "If anyone does anything bad to my child, I will repay them tenfold."
Xin An'an was so frightened by Bai Qiongyu's gaze that she took two steps back.
She had always been afraid of her stepmother, and under her stepmother's oppressive presence, she dared not speak.
"Don't push your luck. I'm afraid you shameless person will let someone else benefit from the property left by Lao Xin," Ye Weiwen said. This was her main purpose; she was unwilling to let what originally belonged to her son become someone else's.
"Hehe, that was given to me by Old Xin. I can give it to whomever I want," Bai Qiongyu said. "If you're so capable, why don't you make Old Xin change his will!"
Ye Weiwen was furious. She hadn't received a single penny of all that property, and even her son and daughter combined didn't have as much as this woman.
Thinking of this, Ye Weiwen was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys all ached!
"You...you're going too far!" Ye Weiwen cursed. "We'll see!"
Xin An'an felt sad and anxious, and said, "Mom, stop talking, let's go quickly."
She was completely at a loss and went back to ask her brother what to do.
My mother has always been like this, directly breaking ties with her stepmother, making reconciliation impossible.
When Ye Weiwen saw Anna, Grandma Qi looked at her with a mocking gaze, and Ye Weiwen was mortified. Pulled by her daughter, she left the mall.
Seeing that the person had left, Bai Qiongyu looked somewhat embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry that Sister Qi and Anna had to laugh at me."
"Hehe, it's nothing!" Grandma Qi chuckled. "I've seen this kind of drama many times. In short, it all boils down to this: all the good intentions have resulted in an ungrateful child."
Bai Qiongyu's willingness to acknowledge He Tiantian as her granddaughter in front of her stepdaughter proves that she genuinely loves He Tiantian.
During the scene just now, He Tiantian didn't say anything and kept observing others.
He Tiantian felt especially happy when her grandmother acknowledged their relationship.
“Yes, Sister Qi is absolutely right,” Bai Qiongyu said. “But Tiantian, don’t worry, I will protect you and your father and won’t let you get hurt.”
He Tiantian nodded and said, "With Grandma here, I'm not worried."
However, He Tiantian thought about something else entirely. She still didn't know about her parents' deaths in her previous life, which remained an unsolved mystery.
However, with a grandmother like Bai Qiongyu and stepchildren like Xin An'an and her brother, could it be related to them?
The events of her past life are impossible to trace, but He Tiantian could tell from Xin An'an's eyes that this matter was not over, and Xin An'an and Xin Wei were bound to make some moves.
During this final period, He Tiantian decided to stay at home obediently.
In that case, Xin An'an wouldn't have a chance to make a move.
Hearing her granddaughter's words, Bai Qiongyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for trusting me! Let's not talk about these things anymore. Do you like this necklace?"
"It's too expensive, I don't want it." He Tiantian clicked her tongue in amazement. Two million US dollars! She could never earn that much money in her entire life.
How much braised meat would they have to sell!
You can't blame He Tiantian, because in her previous life her business was limited to braised meat.
"This is a gift from your grandmother. Girls should dress up nicely to look beautiful, and not waste their good looks. People like us with wrinkled skin and gray hair can't even look pretty anymore," said Grandma Qi, helping He Tiantian choose.
He Tiantian knew she couldn't keep refusing; if she didn't accept, her grandmother would think she was being distant.
"Okay, I'll take it. But just this one, don't buy anything else," He Tiantian said, feeling embarrassed to take anything more than this expensive item.
Bai Qiongyu nodded and said, "Okay, wrap this set up."
This is a pink diamond set, which includes a necklace, earrings, a ring, a bracelet, and a hair clip.
This whole thing cost a total of five million US dollars.
He Tiantian stared in disbelief, stammering, "Grandmother...Grandmother...This is too precious."
“My things will all belong to you and your father in the future, so this little bit is nothing,” Bai Qiongyu said. “I also have a lot of jewelry at home, which I will leave to you as well.”
"Take it, this is all from your grandmother's heartfelt wishes," Grandma Qi said with a smile, finding Bai Qiongyu even more pleasing to the eye.
He Tiantian had no choice but to accept it, nodding and saying, "Thank you, Grandmother!"
Converted to RMB, that would be tens of millions.
