When they returned to the Bai family home, Bai Junbai was nowhere to be seen after going upstairs in the morning. Lin Xiazhu and Lin Ruan were waiting in the living room. The latter was holding the sleeping little Mo Xun. The little guy had just fallen asleep and they hadn't had time to put him on the bed yet.
It's especially hard to soothe her now. She doesn't want the maid to hold her at night. Besides wanting to cling to her mother, she can also cling to her father if he has time. So, in order not to make Lin Xiazhu too tired, Bai Ruan basically doesn't work overtime now. She goes home immediately after work to help take care of the child.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law," Lin Taozi greeted them obediently.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law, it's so late, why aren't you and your brother-in-law asleep yet? You didn't have to wait for us." Lin Xiaoxue walked over with a smile and wanted to sit down next to Lin Xiazhu.
"Don't come any closer, you'll smell bad for Xiao Moxun." Bai Ruan frowned, disapproving of her actions.
Lin Xiaoxue paused. She had originally wanted to hug her nephew, but seeing how disgusted her brother-in-law was, she decided against it and wisely sat down on the sofa opposite him.
"Tell me what happened." Lin Xiazhu pointed to the sofa next to her, gesturing for Lin Taozi to sit down, but she was speaking to Lin Xiaoxue.
It was her again. Wasn't it her who brought the peaches?
“Song Yuheng and I went to a party. The place was in the mountains. I felt uneasy, so I sent you a message just in case. Actually, it was nothing. Song Yuheng and I were about to leave when we ran into Uncle Bai and Taozi at the door, so we stayed for dinner.”
Didn't we already talk about this before? If your older sister doesn't believe her, she might as well ask Peach.
"Peach, tell me, where did you go today? How could you be abandoned on the road without any warning? Are you out of your mind? Why didn't you hold your phone? Learn from your third sister. Although she likes to cause trouble, she knows to call for help first when things are not going well."
After scolding Lin Taozi, Lin Xiazhu saw a smug look on Lin Xiaoxue's face and said irritably, "Don't think I'm praising you. You brought all those things on yourself. If you had behaved yourself, nothing would have happened."
"Eee-woo..." Little Mo Xun seemed to be disturbed and shouted in protest. Lin Xia Zhu immediately fell silent and glared at her two younger sisters.
These two troublemakers caused her to lose control of the volume and disturb her little Mo Xun's sleep. Lin Xiazhu pointed upstairs and asked Bai Ru'an to carry the person upstairs.
Bai Ruan frowned and glanced at Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi, his disdain barely concealed. If it weren't for their trouble, he would be sleeping with his wife and children right now.
"Big sister, can we talk about it tomorrow? Peach and I are fine now anyway, you can't punish me now. I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep. Peach, which guest room do you want to sleep in? I want the one on the far side, don't try to take it from me." Lin Xiaoxue didn't wait for Lin Xiazhu's reaction and turned to run away.
If she doesn't run away soon, her brother-in-law's eyes will start spitting fire. He holds grudges, and who knows what he'll do to her later. I remember last time he got into trouble for some reason and suddenly canceled one of her gigs.
We can't afford to mess with them, we really can't afford to mess with them.
"Big sister, I'm going to rest now. You should go upstairs and rest early too." Lin Taozi wasn't completely oblivious; she sensed that her brother-in-law harbored deep resentment, as if she and her third sister had taken over her eldest sister.
On the same day, Lin Xiaoxue got up before dawn and left the Bai family's old house. When Lin Xiazhu got up to confront her, she was already gone. She could only ask Lin Taozi for answers.
Lin Taozi slept comfortably until late morning, without feeling embarrassed. With her older sister by her side, she felt quite at ease. However, when she saw Bai Zhengping, she still offered an explanation.
"I didn't get back until after 1 a.m. last night, and I walked a long way during the day, so my feet are still hurting. That's why I went to bed late." Although she sleeps in every weekend when she doesn't have to work or film, she still has to maintain a certain image in front of others.
Bai Zhengping didn't say anything, and his expression didn't change, as if he didn't know what she was talking about. It was almost 10 a.m. Usually, Bai Zhengping would go out to have tea with his friends, but every few days he would stay at home all day with his beloved great-grandson.
Three-month-old Mo Xun can already sit up quite steadily with his wife's help. When Bai Zhengping tries to make him laugh, he obligingly babbles a few times, blows a bubble, and giggles a few times.
"Little Mo Xun is so amazing, he laughs so loudly." Lin Taozi stood next to him like an idiot, waving at him with a bright smile.
For some reason, Xiao Moxun always looked indifferent when he saw his aunt, his eyes seeming to despise her. However, he was too handsome, and Lin Taozi still tried to get close to him despite being treated coldly.
"Little Mo Xun, can you let your auntie hug you for just a little while? Don't be so aloof. I'll work hard to earn money to buy you toys in the future. You can buy whatever you want, I'll buy it for you." Lin Taozi sniffed humbly, pretending to cry.
"Stop acting. He's so young, how would he know so much? If you want to hug him, he won't let you?" Lin Xiazhu said with a laugh.
"He will let me hold him, but he just won't smile at me. Everyone smiles, but he's so cold to me. Waaah, does Xiao Moxun look down on me?" Although Lin Taozi was faking her tears, she also thought that Xiao Moxun was still young and didn't understand, but she still suspected that the little guy was looking down on her.
They must have thought she was too poor and the least capable of earning money, so her older sister always had to give her pocket money.
“Xiao Mo Xun probably thinks you’re too noisy and wants you to be quiet,” Bai Zhengping said seriously. He even picked up Xiao Mo Xun and bounced him around. The little guy laughed excitedly, which pleased him.
Lin Taozi shut up. The person who made her shut up was Grandpa Bai. She had been standing next to him for too long, which was affecting his playing with the little guy.
Lin Xiazhu waved to her and went outside. The two sat at a stone table under a parasol by the swimming pool.
“Peach, you only have one year left to graduate. You’ve already taken on that role in Yan Xin’s drama, so why are you still doing commercial performances? You’re still young. Don’t rush into making money. It’s not too late to work hard after you graduate…” Lin Xiazhu patiently tried to persuade her.
After talking for more than ten minutes, Lin Taozi didn't interrupt and just nodded obediently. Finally, after Lin Xiazhu finished speaking, she spoke up, "Big sister, I understand. I won't do anything to worry you anymore. I was too stupid and couldn't judge people well. I was actually tricked."
The girl was also an arts school student, but they weren't in the same school. They met on the bus to a commercial performance. A bus came to pick them up, and they happened to sit together and started chatting.
At first, the person was quite friendly to her, and he remained kind to her until the commercial performance ended. Later, when the person's driver came to pick her up, she insisted on dragging Lin Taozi into his car.
Lin Taozi wanted to take the bus back, but she was too embarrassed to refuse the other person's kindness. Once she got on the bus, she stopped being coy and saying she didn't want to ride with them.
Who would have thought that the person would kick her off the bus halfway there, saying, "I just realized we're not going the same way. Sorry, you can get off here and figure out how to get back to the city yourself. Bye."
