"If I had to say who I came for, then I would say I came as Bai Qianmo's friend."
Han Songyan froze on the spot, feeling a loud "boom" in her mind.
How could it be Bai Qianmo?
What kind of influence does this brat have that Tian Bingsen would personally make a trip for her?
After being publicly humiliated by Elder Tian, Gu Hongxun and Bai Xiruo both looked embarrassed.
Bai Xiruo looked at Bai Qianmo with deep hatred, a fleeting glint of malice in her eyes.
Since you're so eager to steal the spotlight, then I'll let you steal it to your heart's content today!
Bai Qianmo was also filled with doubt at this moment.
She was certain of one thing: she did not know Tian Bingsen. Her only impression of him was that he was a calligrapher whom the old man particularly admired.
The way Tian Bingsen looked at her just now had a special meaning; to be precise, it was more like he was scrutinizing her.
Her gaze paused slightly, and Bai Qianmo immediately understood.
Tian Bingsen was Gu Hongxun's teacher, which means that Gu Jueye was very likely acquainted with Tian Bingsen.
When Gu Jueye visited the Bai family, he had a long chat with the old man about calligraphy. So, it's very likely that he knew the old man's favorite calligrapher was Tian Bingsen.
Therefore, although he did not come in person for the old man's birthday celebration, he invited the old man's favorite calligrapher to make an appearance.
Once you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
It's unclear whether Gu Jueye stole the limelight from Gu Hongxun and Bai Xiruo by accident or did it intentionally.
Bai Qianmo chuckled inwardly. Based on her understanding of this man, the latter was more likely.
With a broad smile, Old Master Bai looked at everyone and said, "On the occasion of this birthday banquet, I would like to introduce to you all my granddaughter, Bai Qianmo. I hope that you elders will give her some guidance as she establishes herself in the capital."
When Elder Bai unexpectedly revealed Bai Qianmo's identity, both Han Songyan and Bai Xiruo's expressions darkened.
The guests all looked puzzled.
When Bai Qianmo presented the gift, she called Bai Lao "Grandpa," so everyone was already mentally prepared.
Perhaps this girl is the Bai family's illegitimate daughter?
But if she were an illegitimate child, even if Old Bai brought her into the public eye, there wouldn't be such a grand introduction, would there?
After all, both daughters-in-law were present, and it was inappropriate to publicly introduce the illegitimate daughter in this setting, regardless of whether she was Bai Kangcheng's or Bai Kangyan's.
Someone asked in confusion, "Mr. Bai, I remember you only have one granddaughter, right?"
The smile on Old Bai's face did not fade. His wise and profound gaze slowly swept over everyone present, and his voice was deep and firm: "To be precise, I only have one biological granddaughter who is related to me by blood, and that is this girl beside me, Bai Qianmo!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
What does this mean?
The information here seems quite explosive!
"Old Bai, could it be that Bai Xiruo isn't your granddaughter?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan both showed strange expressions.
"How could that be? Miss Xi Ruo is the apple of Mr. and Mrs. Bai's eye. I personally witnessed Mrs. Bai's ten months of pregnancy. How could she not be their biological daughter?"
"Has the old man lost his mind? Where did he get this wild girl from, claiming she's his only blood-related granddaughter? What about Xi Ruo then?"
"I think something big is going to happen today. The Bai family is a prestigious and powerful clan, and there's no shortage of infighting within their ranks. Who knows, it might just be another farce about dividing up the family fortune?"
Han Songyan felt a sudden urgency, her mind in turmoil as she frantically tried to figure out how to handle the situation.
Bai Xiruo looked like a weak and helpless flower. She swayed weakly for a moment, and if Gu Hongxun hadn't supported her in time, she probably would have fainted by now.
Gu Hongxun frowned slightly and looked at Bai Xiruo with a puzzled expression: "Xiruo, what exactly is going on?"
Amidst the various speculations and the guessing game among the guests, the true identity of Bai Qianmo, who had suddenly appeared, was revealed.
A hysterical shout came from outside the door: "Bai Qianmo, you heartless woman, give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter..."
Han Yaxin stormed into the banquet hall with her hair disheveled. Her designer dress was now covered in mud, making her look like a vengeful ghost that had just crawled out of a deep pit. Her beautiful and charming face was now twisted and ferocious due to hysteria.
Behind her, a large group of reporters swarmed over, their bright lights blazing at Bai Qianmo's face as they snapped away.
"Bai Qianmo, is Nie Siqi's disappearance really related to you? Did you kill her because you were jealous of her during the filming of 'Qingguo'?"
"Before Nie Siqi disappeared, she made a distress call, saying that you had ordered someone to kidnap her. Her phone has been found in an abandoned factory, but Nie Siqi is still missing. Is this really related to you?"
"According to Nie Siqi's friend, you and Nie Siqi both fell in love with the same man, so you've been holding a grudge ever since?"
"Bai Qianmo, please answer these questions seriously."
