Bai Qianmo had the driver take her directly to Longxi Garden. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Bai Xiruo just returning home outside the gate.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Bai Xiruo and then prepared to go inside.
"Bai Qianmo!" Bai Xiruo reached out to block her way, her delicate face unusually cold.
Seeing Bai Xiruo's expression, Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow with amusement.
"Finally stopped pretending?"
No matter how many things Bai Xiruo did behind her back to frame and slander her, she always pretended very well when they met.
She has always tried her best to portray a gentle and kind-hearted innocent girl, and she enjoys it.
In the Bai family, only the old man and the eldest aunt saw through Bai Xiruo's tricks.
Almost everyone else felt that Bai Xiruo was very wronged and pitiful.
Although Bai Kangyan truly loved her, he also showed no less fatherly love to Bai Xiruo.
Whether she was ignorant or pretending to be confused, Bai Kangyan's attitude made her realize one thing: this father did not belong entirely to her.
A sinister glint flashed across Bai Xiruo's cold face: "You really have no shame. Your mother hates you so much, how dare you come back to this house?"
"Bai Qianmo, let me kindly remind you, from the moment we were switched at birth, our destinies were already set. I grew up in the Bai family and am seen by everyone as the true eldest daughter of the Bai family. This is a fact that you cannot change."
"Moreover, I have been by my parents' and brother's side for twenty years. This family affection is irreplaceable by you. If you have any self-awareness, you shouldn't have come back to the Bai family to humiliate yourself, because nothing here belongs to you."
Bai Qianmo scoffed, "If someone who has usurped the family's place can be so self-righteous, why can't I stay in my own home? So what if Han Songyan doesn't acknowledge me as her daughter? She doesn't have the surname Bai. As long as the Bai family approves, what do other people's opinions matter?"
Bai Xiruo's face darkened, and her brows furrowed.
"As expected of someone from the countryside, you're uncouth, rude, and have no manners whatsoever. I heard you got a zero on your high school exam? All the children in the Bai family are excellent. You don't have the Bai family's genes in you. You'd better not use the Bai family's name to swindle people in the future."
“Our Bai family? Are you a member of the Bai family? Oh, I forgot, your biological parents did indeed share the surname Bai, but they are now living in that small mountain village you look down on, continuing their vulgar, rude, and uncultured lives.”
"I wonder if they ever miss you, their daughter? Maybe one day they'll come to visit you in person, hoping you still have some humanity left and remember where your roots are?"
After saying that, Bai Qianmo stretched lazily, waved away Bai Xiruo's hand, and walked straight home.
Mentioning her biological parents in the countryside, Bai Xiruo's face turned completely pale.
She never wanted to see that uncouth couple again.
Bai Xiruo's long-suppressed anger was completely ignited by Bai Qianmo's words.
She quickly caught up with Bai Qianmo, wanting to slap her without hesitation, something she had wanted to do for a long time.
Because of her awkward status, she had to pretend to be kind and friendly in front of the Bai couple, suppressing all the humiliation and indignation in her heart.
At this moment, because Bai Qianmo brought up the rural couple and her own painful past, she was on the verge of a state of heightened alertness, and even began to act irrationally and madly.
The mere thought that her blood was of lowly origin made her wish she could drain all her blood.
A slap swept past, but missed Bai Qianmo's face.
When his palm was less than five centimeters away from Bai Qianmo, his wrist was grabbed and a sore sensation followed.
Bai Xiruo frowned tightly and struggled a few times, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull her hand away.
Bai Qianmo, on the contrary, stood there motionless, like a statue.
Bai Qianmo stared at Bai Xiruo struggling, her eyes deep and dark.
"I hate it most when people slap me in the face. You should be glad that your hand didn't actually land, otherwise I might have chopped it off and fed it to the dogs."
Bai Xiruo stared into Bai Qianmo's cold eyes, and a chill suddenly ran through her.
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly, flicked her wrist, and Bai Xiruo felt a push coming at her, causing her to stumble back two steps.
Bai Qianmo casually tugged at the thin veil on her dress with one hand, her cool voice exuding authority.
"Bai Xiruo, it's not a good thing for you to drop your pretense in front of me. At the very least, it makes me realize that you're very scared."
"Do you think I'm afraid of a vulgar slut like you?" Bai Xiruo rubbed her wrist and glanced down at her swollen wrist.
“When I fainted and was hospitalized this time, my parents took good care of me. That’s when I realized that I still hold an important place in their hearts, something you can’t compare to.”
Bai Qianmo's rosy lips curved slightly, and she glanced at Bai Xiruo indifferently: "So you're pretending to have low blood sugar to gain pity and sympathy?"
Bai Xiruo's expression suddenly froze: "You... what nonsense are you talking about?"
Bai Qianmo revealed a half-smile on her face: "You should know very well what I'm saying."
Bai Xiruo took a deep breath, suppressing the fleeting panic in her heart.
She snorted lightly, "So what if you know? Mom and Dad don't know. They just think I'm weak and need to eat more. They've been staying by my side these past few days. Dad has handed over all his work to my brother and is watching over me day and night. I've achieved my goal." "Bai Qianmo, there's no place for you in the Bai family anymore. You should face the facts and get out of here as soon as possible."
Bai Qianmo's unfathomable gaze passed through Bai Xiruo and glanced behind her.
Bai Xiruo heard footsteps approaching and turned around abruptly. When she saw who it was, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled.
"elder brother?"
