The old man didn't say another word. He stretched out his wrinkled hand and tightly grasped Bai Qianmo's hand.
Suppressing the anger rising in his heart, he glared at Bai Kangyan.
“What I just said was not a discussion with you, but an announcement that if you two refuse to acknowledge Qianmo, she will be recognized as my granddaughter Bai Yixian.”
When Bai Lao said these words, his voice trembled slightly, and his expression showed a hint of fatigue.
"Qianmo, help Grandpa up."
Bai Qianmo sensed that the old man's complexion was not good, so she immediately helped him to his feet.
One hand was placed on the old man's wrist to take his pulse.
The reverse flow of qi and blood, and the stagnation of qi in the heart, are clearly signs of being seriously angry.
Seeing Bai Qianmo's worry, Old Master Bai patted the back of her hand reassuringly.
Then, a cold light shone on Han Songyan and her daughter Bai Xiruo.
“What your sister-in-law just said is exactly what I meant. Of all the people in this room today, the one who truly deserves our love is my granddaughter, Bai Qianmo. If you can’t even understand this, then you’re not worthy of being parents. Qianmo, go stay with Grandpa tonight. Let’s go.”
"Okay, Grandpa!" Bai Qianmo helped the old man Bai up, and the two of them walked towards the door.
Xu Hualan picked up her purse and glared at her son beside her.
"Yitang, let's go!"
Bai Yitang stood up with Xu Hualan and looked at Bai Xiruo with a worried expression.
A forced, bitter smile appeared on Bai Xiruo's pale face. She looked like a small flower in the cold wind, weak and helpless.
Stepping out of the private room, Bai Qianmo whispered to the old man beside her.
"Grandpa, please don't get angry over my affairs anymore. I can handle my own problems. Your health isn't good, so you can't get angry so easily anymore, okay?"
Although it was her first time meeting the old man, Bai Qianmo felt a genuine sense of belonging and warmth, and did not feel any awkwardness at all.
Knowing that the old man was in poor health, she genuinely didn't want him to get involved in this matter anymore, or cause him any more distress.
Old Bai gave a soft snort and turned his head to glance at Bai Qianmo.
"You really don't care?"
Bai Qianmo smiled and said, "What I just said was the truth. Once you see things clearly, you can let go of them. I really don't care how Han Songyan treats me."
Hearing Bai Qianmo call Han Songyan by her name, Old Master Bai chuckled and said, "Girl, you have a muddle-headed mother. If I didn't stand by your side, you would have suffered so much injustice."
Although he was recuperating abroad when Qianmo was brought back, he was not completely unaware of the situation here.
The reason I rushed back was because I didn't want my granddaughter to suffer like this anymore.
Bai Qianmo's eyes suddenly felt hot. She was a person who didn't like to show her emotions, rarely shed tears, and especially hated tears as useless things.
But at this moment, because of a single sentence from the old man, she suddenly became so vulnerable.
Perhaps, beneath her strong exterior, she is still only twenty years old.
