After leaving Qingyun's residence, Han Songyan, like a lost soul, found a place outside and spent a whole day in a daze, constantly replaying everything that had happened in the past six months in her mind.
After seeing Bai Xiruo's true colors, she realized how many mistakes she had made.
As for Qianmo, her own daughter, she not only suppressed her at every turn, but also disregarded her feelings and arbitrarily hurt and humiliated her in order to protect Bai Xiruo.
All of this was still vivid in her mind, and she felt waves of pain in her chest, wishing she could slap herself hard across the face.
What kind of bewitching potion did Bai Xiruo give me to make me unable to distinguish right from wrong and commit such a stupid mistake?
Now, he is on the verge of ruining his reputation and has deeply hurt his own daughter.
Han Songyan returned home late at night.
Standing at her doorstep for a long time, she hesitated, unsure how to face Bai Kangyan.
Just then, a car drove towards them.
The people in the car obviously noticed her too. The car stopped at the door, and Bai Luoyu got out.
"Mom, why are you still out so late?"
Han Songyan felt a pang of guilt and forced a smile: "I have a dinner party tonight, I just got home."
Bai Luoyu didn't think much of it and nodded: "It's cold outside, let's go inside."
"Okay!" Han Songyan replied and walked into the house with Bai Luoyu.
"By the way, you were in such a hurry to leave today, did something happen?"
Bai Luoyu's eyes flickered slightly: "I'm going to find Qianmo."
After saying that, Bai Luoyu suddenly stopped: "Mom, do you really hate her that much?"
Han Songyan fell silent: "In her eyes, I am not a qualified mother. Since she came home, I have never considered her feelings. She likes acting, but I suppress her in every way for Xi Ruo's sake. How can I have the right to hate her?"
Bai Luoyu's eyes lit up as he stared at Han Songyan in disbelief.
Did Mom take the wrong medicine today?
"Mom, did you suffer some kind of blow today?"
Han Songyan's lips twitched, and a hint of panic flashed across her eyes.
"No...no, what could possibly hurt me? You...you should go see Qianmo today. How is she? Has the whole internet's attack on her affected her mentally?"
Bai Luoyu blinked and circled around Han Songyan with a curious look: "Mom, you're not thinking of doing something to Qianmo again, are you? Did Xiruo say anything to you when you saw her today? Let me tell you, you'd better not interfere in Qianmo and Xiruo's affairs in the future. What you did before was really inhuman."
"Take the old man's decision to reveal Qianmo's identity, for example. You made a scene in front of Grandpa back then, and you said so many vicious things in front of Qianmo. Do you even remember that?"
Han Songyan took a deep breath, her delicate face contorted with suppressed anger.
"Am I that bad in your eyes? She's my daughter, after all. Even if I did favor Xi Ruo before, I wouldn't have driven her to such a dead end. I just... I just didn't want her to stay in the entertainment industry."
Bai Luoyu scoffed: "My dear mother, do you think we don't know what you're thinking? You're so proud and always think of yourself as an artist and a movie queen. You have to maintain your status wherever you go. So in your life, Qianmo is your only stain. You're afraid of her identity being exposed, and you don't want to admit that she's your daughter. So you've teamed up with Xiruo to target her in every way. Do you know what Qianmo said to me today?"
Han Songyan remained silent; she indeed had no right to refute anything.
Even her own son stood up and criticized her, which shows how confused she was before.
Bai Luoyu took a deep breath: "Qianmo said she doesn't hate you, because in her eyes, she has never regarded you as her biological mother!"
My heart jolted violently, as if I had been struck in the chest with a hammer, and my whole body ached intensely.
Feeling inexplicably sad, Han Songyan gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"She's right, I'm not good enough for her!"
After saying that, Han Songyan walked into the house.
Standing there, Bai Luoyu stared at Han Songyan's forlorn figure with a look of surprise, feeling a strange unease.
If it were any other time, his mother would have immediately mocked Qianmo after he said such a thing, and then proudly brought up Xiruo to make an example of him. But today, her attitude was clearly not something she would have said.

Han Songyan pushed open the door. Bai Kangyan was leaning against the headboard reading a book. Hearing the noise, he slowly looked up.
"I'm back."
"Hmm, why haven't you said anything yet?" Han Songyan asked casually, pretending to be as usual. She placed her handbag and coat on the sofa next to her, and then walked to the dressing table to start removing her makeup.
Why are you so late coming back?
"Oh, there's a dinner invitation from the production company tonight."
"You probably didn't eat much at that dinner party, right? The kitchen left you some dinner, I'll go heat it up for you." As Bai Kangyan spoke, he lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
Han Songyan looked at him through the mirror on the dressing table, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"No need, I ate something for dinner." The nicer he was to her, the deeper her guilt became.
Bai Kangyan sat on the edge of the bed without moving, his deep gaze looking at Han Songyan: "My attitude during the day wasn't very good, and my tone was very harsh. Thinking about it afterwards, I realized that I also had many problems. We used to like to communicate when we encountered problems, but recently, we've had more conflicts and less communication."
After saying this, Bai Kangyan sighed softly.
