Upon hearing this, Bai Shaoheng's eyes instantly welled up with tears, shining with an unusual light: "Mom, I've finally met you."
Bai Fengfu didn't say much, just nodded lightly. For her, whether she had one more son or one less son was not important.
The middle-aged man next to him opened his mouth, his eyes fixed on Bai Shaoheng, but he couldn't utter a single word.
How could this be? His son is clearly Niannian, how could it be him...?
Bai Qingnian remained sitting there quietly, motionless.
He had known about this news for a week, when his sister Bai Yi brought the boy to him and told him in person.
He also knew that now that he was back, the Bai family would no longer tolerate this imposter.
Bai Shaoheng noticed Bai Qingnian, who was silent to the side, and he walked over to greet him warmly.
"You must be Niannian."
Bai Qingnian looked up at him and clearly saw the mockery in his eyes.
"Hmm," Bai Qingnian responded indifferently, withdrawing her gaze.
Bai Shaoheng smiled, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, but in Bai Qingnian's eyes, the smile was incredibly hypocritical.
Just as Bai Shaoheng was about to say something again, Bai Fengfu interrupted him: "Alright, Shaoheng, sit down and eat first." After saying that, she looked at Bai Qingnian, her eyes revealing a hint of indifference, as if she were warning him.
Bai Qingnian lowered his head silently, his heart filled with bitterness.
The entire dinner was unusually quiet, with only the clinking of bowls and chopsticks.
Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and the meal was as tasteless as chewing wax. After dinner, Bai Fengfu arranged for someone to help Bai Shaoheng choose a room and let him stay before taking Bai Yi and Bai's husband into the room.
Inside the study.
"I disagree! Niannian is my son. Even if he comes back, I will not send Niannian away!" Wei Zhu slammed his hands on Bai Fengfu's desk, his eyes full of anger.
So what if he's her biological son? He can give him money, a house, and a car, but why should he send Niannian away as soon as he comes back?
He raised Nian Nian from a young age, and the bond between them is immeasurable.
"Dad! Shaoheng is your own son! What you're doing is unfair to him!" Bai Yi said earnestly.
“But I raised Niannian from childhood…” Wei Zhu’s voice choked with emotion, and she covered her mouth and cried.
Bai Fengfu sat in the chair, her face expressionless, seemingly uninterested in their conversation.
"Mom! Please say something!" Bai Yi saw her father crying and had no other choice but to ask her mother for help.
Bai Fengfu glanced at her anxious expression and said calmly, "The Ming family values Niannian, so Niannian will stay. He is still my son. As for Bai Shaoheng, our Bai family will naturally not mistreat him."
"But……"
"There are no 'buts'! This is for the good of the Bai family!" Bai Feng touched her face and her expression instantly turned cold.
The Bai family and the Ming family are already engaged, so how could she possibly let Bai Qingnian leave at this time?
The girl from the Ming family has already set her sights on him. If the two families successfully form a marriage alliance, it will bring the Bai family's business to a new level.
So even though Bai Qingnian wasn't her biological son, she still acknowledged him as her son.
Bai Yi's expression was quite unpleasant. Of course, she knew about the marriage alliance between the Bai and Ming families, but wasn't that supposed to be her own younger brother?
It should be Shao Heng, not that imposter.
I remember when I first met Bai Shaoheng, he was standing alone under a tree sheltering from the rain. He looked like a little kitten that had been abandoned, so pitiful.
Later, she saw him again at the Nightclub and saw him being harassed by those women. She couldn't help but step in to help.
Then she noticed that his eyes were very similar to her own, and thinking of Bai Qingnian at home, she had strange thoughts.
They sent someone to investigate Bai Shaoheng's background and even took his hair for a paternity test, only to discover that he was indeed their own younger brother.
Thinking of what was written in the documents, Bai Yi felt extremely guilty. Her younger brother should have been cherished and pampered, instead of having endless work and part-time jobs every day.
“You are my daughter, and you will inherit the entire Bai family in the future. You need to have a broader perspective and a longer-term vision. How can I entrust the Bai family to you in the future if you are like this?” Bai Fengfu’s voice suddenly became serious.
Bai Yi fell silent.
The only sound in the study was Wei Zhu's sobbing.
"Alright, stop crying. I won't send Niannian away. Go and arrange Shaoheng's wedding banquet, reveal his identity, and prove that he is a child of the Bai family." Bai Fengfu sighed helplessly, feeling a bit of a headache.
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhu immediately wiped away her tears, "Then his identity..."
"We said they were twins, but the older brother was born with poor health and was sent to the countryside to recuperate. They've only just been brought back now."
"Mom..." Bai Yi wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Bai Fengfu.
After the matter was settled, the three of them left the study and went back to their rooms to rest.
In Bai Qingnian's room, he lay on the bed but couldn't fall asleep.
This was probably his last night at the Bai family home.
To be honest, he really misses his father. Unfortunately, he wasn't his son after all. Now that his real son has returned, he should give him back his place.
Bai Qingnian stared blankly at the ceiling, not knowing how much time had passed, before finally falling asleep due to drowsiness.
...
In the early morning, the whole world is bright and clear. Sunlight shines gently through the light, fresh mist, sprinkling onto everything in the world, creating a uniquely pleasing and delightful scene.
Bai Qingnian woke up early in the morning and quickly packed her things.
He wanted to leave the Bai family without disturbing anyone. He was afraid that if he saw his family members with whom he had spent so many years, he would be reluctant to leave. So he decided to leave quietly on his own.
He only carried a backpack with a few clothes inside before going downstairs.
At that moment, the servants in the house had not yet started their work. As he passed through the living room, he placed the letter he was holding on the table.
Take one last, reluctant look at the Bai family hall before turning and leaving.
But the moment he turned around, tears still involuntarily fell.
Mom, Dad, and my sister, goodbye forever...
As soon as Bai Qingnian stepped out of the Bai family villa, a black car appeared in front of him. Before he could react, he was pulled into the car.
On one of the balconies of the Bai family villa, Bai Shaoheng turned off the screen of his phone and gave the departing black car a triumphant smile.
Bai Qingnian, not just anyone can sit in my position!
