Bai Ying had no desire to continue this charade with these people.
If these people weren't her relatives, or the parents she had always cherished since childhood, how could she have allowed herself to suffer such injustice time and time again?
Bai Ying felt ridiculous. She had been so nervous before meeting them, and she was even imagining how happy her parents would be when they saw her.
Having not seen my parents for so many years, they will definitely ask me all sorts of questions. Will they ask about the grievances I have suffered over the years?
Bai Ying couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how she had thought that way back then.
What is she thinking?
The two people in front of me don't even see me!
Bai Ying slowly raised her head, her eyes instantly turning icy cold as she stared directly at Bai Di, who was still feigning tears and putting on a show. She no longer held back, ruthlessly exposing him: "Let me tell you, I will never forgive you. Didn't you try to threaten me with suicide? Go ahead and die if you dare!" Bai Ying exuded a powerful aura, her chilling presence like a tangible blade, causing Bai Di to tremble involuntarily, the sword in his hand clattering to the ground.
Bai Ying looked down at Bai Di with a cold smile, her eyes filled with disdain and disgust: "Let me tell you, stop trying to understand me with your disgusting thoughts. I have absolutely no interest in your family members. Perhaps before today I did have some expectations of them, but now, I have no intention of acknowledging them anymore."
Don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I'll make sure you don't have it so easy!
With that, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and flew away on her sword, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.
As Bai Ying and her husband watched Bai Ying's departing figure, their faces turned deathly pale. They never imagined things would escalate to such an uncontrollable point. Although they did favor their younger daughter, Bai Di, they had never considered severing ties with Bai Ying.
Seeing this, Bai Yanfeng immediately chased after Bai Ying, shouting loudly, "Who are you threatening? Let me tell you, you better keep your word! Stay away from us and don't bother us again!"
As Bai Ying flew through the air, her mind gradually cleared. She suddenly understood Senior Qi Haoyuan's good intentions back then, why he had told her not to easily reveal her true strength at the beginning. Senior Qi must have anticipated that if she exposed her strength too early, these family members might feign concern for her out of self-interest. Only by concealing her strength could she see their true feelings for her. After all, family is different from others; others might approach her for personal gain, but family should be people who love her unconditionally regardless of her strength.
But now it seems that even if I reveal my true strength, they will still choose White Flute without hesitation.
How could such a long-standing relationship disappear just because of a few words?
They probably never even considered accepting themselves.
Fortunately, I didn't cling to this family bond...

After Bai Ying left, Bai Di had actually achieved her goal, but things didn't turn out the way she had imagined.
Back home, her parents, Bai Ying and Zhou Ying, had terribly gloomy expressions. Bai Di tried, as usual, to win their affection with her coquettishness. She affectionately took Bai Ying's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Dad, don't be unhappy." However, Bai Ying only managed a forced, perfunctory smile, a smile devoid of warmth, merely a mechanical movement of his lips. Zhou Ying was also absent-minded, her eyes wandering, and she only nodded casually at Bai Di's attempts to please her.
Bai Di's heart tightened; a sense of foreboding washed over her. One afternoon, as she passed her parents' room as usual, she faintly overheard a conversation inside: "We need to find Bai Ying and apologize to her properly. After all, we're the ones who wronged her." Bai Di's hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. Jealousy and sorrow surged wildly within her. She roared inwardly, "I will never let Bai Ying return to this house! What right does she have to take everything I have!"
Bai Di knew that her strength was far inferior to Bai Ying's, and Bai Ying always carried the Qiankun Mirror, making it extremely difficult for her to frame Bai Ying again. She paced back and forth in the room alone, her brows furrowed, racking her brains for a solution. Every thought that popped into her head was immediately rejected by herself, leaving her feeling extremely agitated.
Just as she was racking her brains and had no clue what to do, she suddenly felt a gentle tap on her shoulder. "Xiao Di, what are you doing?" A gentle voice sounded behind her. Bai Di turned around abruptly and saw her fiancé, Hua Mujian, standing behind her. He was dressed in white, tall and straight, with his usual gentle smile on his face, which looked particularly soft in the candlelight.
Bai Di's eyes instantly reddened, and she threw herself into Hua Mujian's arms, her voice trembling with sobs as she said, "Brother Hua, you've finally come." As she spoke, she sobbed softly, her shoulders trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice these past few days.
"What's wrong, Xiaodi?"
Bai Di suddenly knew what he had to do.
"Brother Hua, didn't I tell you before? I'm not actually my parents' biological daughter. I'm afraid this will affect our marriage."
Hua Mujian frowned immediately. "Xiao Di, what are you thinking? I already know about this. My parents know too, and they both approve of you. This marriage was arranged when we were young. No one will stop us, and I will definitely marry you."
"But...but..." Bai Di sobbed, "You don't know, my parents' biological daughter has been found. She's the one who should really marry you. I'm afraid she'll take you away and make you marry her!"
