Bai Qianmo didn't look at Bai Xiruo again and turned to walk towards the rest area.
After Bai Qianmo left, Han Songyan immediately pulled her arm back.
Because of the excessive force used, my body instinctively took a step back.
After regaining her footing, Han Songyan stared at Bai Xiruo in front of her with a gloomy gaze.
"I'm warning you, don't cause any more trouble for Qianmo, or I'll choose to fight you to the death."
A strong sense of jealousy and resentment rose in Bai Xiruo's heart.
She had lived in the Bai family for twenty years and originally thought she was the luckiest person in the world, but in just one year, cruel reality shattered her beautiful life.
Her parents, who deeply loved her, now have another daughter in their hearts, and she feels like an unwanted presence.
Thinking of all the injustices she had suffered, Bai Xiruo scoffed, "How ridiculous, Mom. Your maternal love changes so quickly. Before, you were full of disgust for Bai Qianmo, but now you're suddenly very caring towards her. Do you think Bai Qianmo will appreciate your kindness? No, she'll only resent you even more."
The more Han Songyan showed concern and protection for Bai Qianmo, the deeper Bai Xiruo's hatred for Bai Qianmo became.
Jealousy drove her mad; she was determined to make Han Songyan taste the same pain she had endured.
Han Songyan felt a sharp pain in her heart. Although she didn't want to face reality, Bai Xiruo was telling the truth.
But she didn't expect Qianmo to forgive her; she only hoped to make up for the mistakes she had made in the past with the rest of her life.
"Bai Xiruo, do you think this will drive a wedge between us? Let me tell you, I am more clear-headed than ever before, and I know better what I'm doing. I don't expect Qianmo to forgive me, but I will protect her with everything I have. Listen to me carefully, my attitude towards you now has nothing to do with Qianmo. It's just because you have disappointed me too much. From now on, our mother-daughter relationship is severed. If you dare to make a move on Qianmo again, I will definitely keep my word."
After saying this, Han Songyan glared coldly at Bai Xiruo, then strode towards the audition room.
Bai Xiruo stood there, her face expressionless, her eyes dark and cold, her hands clenched tightly at her sides.

Audition begins
Bai Qianmo was number eleven, while Chen Feifei's audition for the third female lead was number seven, which was ahead of her.
Su Peishan went to accompany Chen Feifei to the audition first, while Bai Qianmo sat alone in the rest area outside the audition hall for the female lead, waiting to be called.
There were eleven girls sitting around her. Bai Qianmo was aloof and didn't like to have too much contact with strangers, so she sat alone in a corner.
Bai Xiruo sat with the other girls.
Two of the girls knew Bai Xiruo from her last audition, so they seemed quite familiar with each other this time.
The two girls glanced at Bai Qianmo and whispered to Bai Xiruo, "Xiruo, why did Bai Qianmo suddenly come to the audition? Did Teacher Han bring her?"
Another girl said, "I just saw you standing together talking with Han Yinghou and Bai Qianmo. You guys seem to have a good relationship."
It seems to be different from what the gossip news reports.
Bai Xiruo smiled gently: "My mother just found out about Qianmo's audition. She's been living outside and doesn't contact us much. As for why she was chosen, I'm just as clueless as you are."
"Bai Qianmo rarely contacts you? Doesn't she contact Teacher Han either?"
Bai Xiruo shook her head: "She almost never goes home. My mother called her many times, but she was probably too busy and never answered. Later, my mother stopped calling. When I see her at events, I always greet her. She doesn't seem to like me much, so we've always been distant."
Upon hearing Bai Xiruo's words, the two girls frowned unhappily.
"Xi Ruo, you have such a good personality, the reason she ignores you is definitely because she's jealous that you're better than her."
"Yes, yes, your parents dote on you and have raised you to be so outstanding, of course she'll be envious. Maybe she heard you auditioned for 'The Legend of 1900' and came here eagerly."
Hearing them mock Bai Qianmo, Bai Xiruo's originally gloomy mood improved a lot.
"No, Qianmo is excellent too."
"Hmph, how can a pheasant compare to a phoenix? There's a reason why your parents love you so much. I saw on the news the other day that you were injured, and your parents rushed to the hospital to take care of you in the middle of the night. It's really enviable."
"It's mainly because Xi Ruo is outstanding. What parent doesn't like an outstanding child?"
"By the way, Xi Ruo, can Bai Qianmo play the piano?"
A cold glint flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes, but a hint of worry appeared on her face: "I've never heard of Qianmo playing the piano, let alone seen her play it, so I'm really afraid that she won't perform well enough during the audition and will be scolded by Director Kong."
A girl exclaimed in surprise.
"She dares to audition without being able to play the piano? Director Kong's temper is well-known in the industry. Last time, several girls were scolded and ran away crying during the audition."
"Just wait and see, Bai Qianmo is definitely going to get scolded today."
Bai Xiruo sighed helplessly, "I just tried to persuade Qianmo, but she insisted on going to the audition, saying that she would definitely be the female lead in this drama..."
"Tch, she's really overestimating herself. We all have ten years of piano playing experience and we wouldn't dare to make such a boast. She's just bragging."
Another girl scoffed, "Ignorance is bliss! Let's not bother arguing with such laymen."
