Unexpectedly, some people couldn't wait any longer and came over directly. Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu walked towards her one after the other, and spoke up as soon as they saw her from afar.
"Niece-in-law, just lie still and don't move around. If you startle the baby in your belly, your aunt and I can't afford the consequences." Bai Xinru smiled brightly with a sarcastic tone.
Bai Xinyu glanced at Lin Xiazhu's belly, her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything. Her father had warned them more than once not to provoke her niece-in-law, and even more so not to provoke her.
They hadn't been back to their parents' home for more than half a year. Their father didn't miss them, but he did remind them a few times after running into them outside.
"It's been a while since we last met. Where are you headed?" That was the first question I asked.
"Dad, I just finished discussing a project with a client and I'm heading back now. Speaking of which, I should really go back and see you, but I haven't been able to find the time." That's what Bai Yuxin replied that day.
"We've met now, haven't we? Don't keep coming home unless it's absolutely necessary. Xiaozhu is resting at home during her pregnancy; she prefers quiet. You and your older sister are quite noisy, so try to come over less these days to avoid upsetting everyone." Bai Zhengping announced solemnly and impartially.
Bai Xinyu suffered a heart attack back then. It was one thing for her father to favor her younger brother and nephew in the past, but now there's another nephew's wife. If she has a great-grandson in the future, she and her older sister might not even be able to enter the Bai family's gate.
Although she harbored deep resentment, Bai Xinyu dared not show it. She knew her father's temperament all too well; she knew better than to confront him directly, for the consequences of his anger would be severe.
Like before, the eldest sister, after being instigated by her brother-in-law's family, actually tried to seize the shares of Songbai Group that did not belong to her, attempting to take over the leadership of her fourth brother. Her father tolerated her for several years, but after he found the eldest brother's son, he could no longer tolerate it and directly and forcefully bought the shares in the eldest sister's hands. The eldest sister took a sum of money and was completely kicked out of Songbai Group.
She and her elder sister only owned five percent of the shares in Songbai Group. Although it wasn't much, their quarterly dividends were in the millions or even tens of millions. Her elder sister received ten million and left Songbai Group in a sorry state.
Ten million seems like a lot, but compared to the quarterly dividends, it's a huge loss. Originally, he could receive tens of millions a year, and almost a hundred million in ten years. But the eldest sister angered her father and could only receive one year's worth of money.
At the time, the eldest sister was very unwilling and wanted to make a scene with her father. "Dad, this is too unfair. Even if I sold these shares, they would be worth more than ten million. They would be worth at least fifty million. You gave me too little. I will not give up my shares in Songbai Group."
"Slap!" Bai Zhengping slapped his eldest daughter across the face.
"I'm just informing you, not negotiating with you. The shares of Songbai Group, as well as the other assets of the Bai family, belong to the Bai family. They are all under my control. I can give them to you if I want, and I can take them back if I want. You have no say in this."
You're siding with outsiders, trying to help your husband's family fight for the Bai family's assets and shares. You should see if I agree. I'm not even dead yet, and you dare to do something under my nose. The fact that you're getting ten million is only because you're my daughter. Otherwise, you won't get a single penny.
"Get out of here. Whether you keep this money or use it to support your husband's family is none of my business. Songbai Group will have absolutely no future financial ties with you."
Bai Xinru was stunned. She had been openly interfering in the company's affairs, and her father had always turned a blind eye. Why couldn't he tolerate it suddenly? The Bai family had so much wealth, was it all going to be left to her fourth brother alone?
"Dad, my fourth brother is over thirty and says he'll never get married. He has a bunch of women outside, but none of them have given him a child. He's got so much money, who will inherit it in the future?" Her father had thought about this before, which is why he let her cause trouble. What has happened now?
Could it be that my fourth brother has a child out of wedlock? That would be terrible.
She soon found out what was going on: her fourth brother didn't have any illegitimate children; it was her eldest brother who had left behind a son, who had been found recently. The Bai family now had a legitimate heir, so her father didn't need her or her child anymore.
That's truly heartless. Her father is a hard-hearted man. She hates him so much. Not only does she hate him, but Bai Xinyu hates him too. But there's nothing she can do to change anything.
Seeing the two women's unfriendly gazes and their sinister stares at Lin Xiazhu's pregnant belly, Lin Xiaoxue quickly stepped in front of Lin Xiazhu to protect her, and said with a stern face, "Why have you two aunts come here? Is there something you want to say to my eldest sister?"
Bai Xinru clicked her tongue and glanced at Lin Xiaoxue with disdain. "Who do we have here? Isn't this the little star who just debuted and only plays annoying roles? She's known as the 'mistress' all along, Lin Xiaoxue? What brings you here? You'd better see your older sister less often in the future, lest you corrupt the child in her belly."
Lin Xiaoxue had always been indifferent and unaffected, but Bai Xinru's sarcastic remarks today had enraged her. It turned out that she wasn't truly indifferent; in certain situations and in front of certain people, she would still feel embarrassed.
"I earn money through my own abilities, what's it to you?" Lin Xiaoxue said stiffly.
"Tch, you have the nerve to say you earned your money through your own abilities? If you hadn't hooked up with Song Yuheng, would you have become famous so quickly? I heard you made a lot of money off him. You're really something. Well, I guess you're good in bed." Bai Xinru said enthusiastically, feeling much better after venting her frustrations.
"It's just having a boyfriend, it's a small matter, nothing to make a fuss about," Lin Xiaoxue said, having calmed down. "But Aunt Bai's daughter is quite something. I heard she started dating at sixteen. Sixteen! She's supposedly done everything she should and shouldn't have done, and I heard she even got pregnant. Sigh, I'm curious, did she give birth or have an abortion?"
Bai Xinru kept this matter very secret, and many people didn't know about it. They only knew that her daughter's private life was quite bad, but that all happened after she became an adult. Many rich kids in the entertainment circle like to play around, so it's not surprising. However, for her to be like that at sixteen, it doesn't sound good.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Xinru rushed forward, trying to tear Lin Xiaoxue's mouth apart.
Lin Xiaoxue was prepared and pushed her away. Bai Xinru staggered backward a few steps before regaining her balance, but she didn't rush forward again. Instead, she stared at Lin Xiaoxue with resentment in her eyes.
"What's with that expression? I have no interest in investigating your family's affairs. This was something your daughter's ex-boyfriend said when he was drunk, and someone overheard it. I happened to hear it too that day." Actually, Song Yuheng told her, but she couldn't reveal it to him.
"Are you kidding me? This happened several years ago. Why didn't you mention it then, and now you're bringing it up?" Bai Xinru may be a bit stupid, but she's not completely brainless.
“There were a lot of people that day, and that person had been drinking. Somehow, he brought up this matter. Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant, but I know about it anyway.” Lin Xiaoxue didn’t want to explain further.
