Upon hearing the word "adopted daughter," Bai Xiruo's face instantly turned pale.
“Qianmo, I’ve never thought about inheriting my parents’ property while I’m with them. I just genuinely want to stay with them.”
Bai Qianmo scoffed, "Since you're so sincere, why don't you sign a property waiver as well? That way, no one will doubt you anymore."
Bai Xiruo burst into tears: "Okay, as long as Mom and Dad agree, I'll sign it right away."
"It's nice to say, but why wait for their consent? Didn't you say you didn't covet the Bai family's property? To prove your innocence, you should give up your inheritance rights directly. From now on, no one will have the right to doubt your purpose in staying in the Bai family. After all, your biological parents are still alive. Logically, you should go back to the home that originally belonged to you."
Han Songyan pointed a trembling finger at Bai Qianmo: "Bai Qianmo, shut up! Xi Ruo is my daughter. She only has me as her mother. Who do you think you are, to order her around? Have you no shame? You want to sever ties with us but still want to inherit our property? Let me tell you, your father and I will make a will before I die. You can forget about getting a single penny."
Now that we've completely broken off relations, we should say what needs to be said upfront.
This brat is young, but she's got quite the ambition.
They're not old yet, but she's already starting to plan their inheritance.
"As expected, he's a heartless ingrate who only knows how to bite."
Han Songyan felt very fortunate about her choice at this moment.
Although Xi Ruo was not her biological child, she had raised her from a young age, and her character and personality were impeccable.
Although Bai Qianmo was her son, she grew up in a poor family for twenty years and is selfish and greedy. Such a person would do anything bad for money.
Bai Luoyu said with a stern face, "Mom, you've gone a bit too far. Qianmo is your own daughter. How can you say such heartless things?"
Han Songyan glared coldly at Bai Qianmo: "She means nothing to me now!"
Bai Kangyan roared, "Han Songyan, haven't you caused enough trouble?!"
"Haven't you made enough trouble! Bai Kangyan, let me tell you, unless I die, I will never acknowledge this daughter!" Han Songyan shouted hysterically.
Bai Kangyan, his face cold and expressionless, suppressed his surging anger and gritted his teeth as he said, "You go home right now!"
Meeting Bai Kangyan's eyes, which were burning with anger, Han Songyan's arrogance subsided somewhat.
"Mom, let's go back first. Grandpa isn't feeling well, so we can talk about this later." Seeing that Bai Kangyan's expression was off, Bai Xiruo quickly went to Han Songyan's side and gently comforted her.
Although Han Songyan is currently protecting her wholeheartedly, Bai Kangyan actually prefers Bai Qianmo in his heart.
All the shares of the Bai Group are in Bai Kangyan's hands, and she can't let the couple end up getting a divorce.
It's best to take a step back for now.
Han Songyan knew in her heart that what she was saying was hurtful to her husband's relationship, but seeing the Bai family bullying Xi Ruo, as Xi Ruo's mother, she naturally had to stand up and protect her daughter.
However, given the current situation, we really can't let this escalate any further.
If the old man really breaks off all ties with the second branch of the family in a fit of anger, who will still pay attention to them, those who only looked up to them because of the old man?
Han Songyan quickly calmed down and followed Bai Xiruo as she pulled her towards the door.

After the mother and daughter left, the living room finally quieted down.
Old Master Bai kept his eyes closed, and Bai Kangyan, like a child who had done something wrong, knelt down in front of Old Master Bai with a thud.
He choked back tears and cried out, "Dad, your son knows he was wrong."
Old Bai took a couple of deep breaths, his thin face showing signs of exhaustion.
“Your wife just now acted like a shrew. An artist, huh? Back when you were so determined to marry her, your mother and I told you that it didn’t matter if she came from a good family, but that she was too vain and competitive. A woman like that would never be a good wife or mother. Now look at what she did to Qianmo. This is not how a mother would act!”
"She felt that Qianmo was not good enough for her as her mother, and that acknowledging Qianmo would make her lose face as an artist. This is the truth that Han Songyan fears most in her heart. But let me tell you, the children of my Bai family will never be looked down upon. It is your business to pamper that adopted daughter like a treasure, but don't set your sights on Qianmo. My own granddaughter must be rightfully in this family."
Bai Kangyan looked ashamed: "Dad, don't worry, I've decided to make a will soon so that Han Songyan won't keep thinking about this."
A glint of light flashed in Old Bai's eyes. After a long silence, he slowly said, "This is your business. I can't interfere. You can handle it yourself."
Bai Kangyan nodded firmly: "I will not let you down again."
After making his promise to the old man, Bai Kangyan wanted to say something to Bai Qianmo alone, but seeing her cold gaze, he felt guilty and ultimately said nothing.
Thinking to himself, the only way he could make amends to her was to give her what rightfully belonged to her; that would be the greatest guarantee for her.
With the help of Bai Yitang and Xu Hualan, the old man returned to his room to rest.
Bai Kangcheng called Bai Kangyan into his study for a private talk.
Seeing Bai Qianmo sitting in the courtyard in a daze, Bai Luoyu stood behind her for a long time before slowly walking over to the wicker chair next to her and sitting down.
"They must hate us a lot in their hearts."
Bai Qianmo crossed her arms and gazed lazily and calmly at the silent night sky.
