Leaving the Western restaurant
Li Yushu offered to drive her home, but Bai Qianmo refused.
"My friend is coming to pick me up soon."
"Qianmo, in your heart, aren't we even friends?"
Bai Qianmo stretched out her fingers and unfolded them one by one.
Li Yushu frowned, staring at her hand with a puzzled expression.
“Mr. Li, I’ve done the math, and we’ve met so many times that I can’t even count them on two hands.”
The implication is that meeting a few times is enough to be considered a friend?
Do you expect friends to force you to buy or sell something?
Li Yushu immediately understood what she meant; if he insisted on giving it to her, it would make him seem too low-class.
"Alright then, I hope one day I'll have the honor of becoming your friend."
Bai Qianmo nodded politely and watched Li Yushu get into the car and leave.
She took out her phone and dialed Luo Cheng's number. In just three or four minutes, an SUV pulled up in front of Bai Qianmo.
During her meal with Li Yushu, she sent Luo Cheng a message, giving him her address.
After getting into the car, Luo Cheng looked at her.
How was the meal?
"I suggest we investigate Li Yushu more thoroughly."
"You suspect he's the murderer?"
"Even if he isn't the murderer, he must know something."
"I understand. Where are you going now?"
"Take me to the Second Hospital."
The old man found out about what happened last night early the next morning and called me.
She was at the crime scene at the time, and only said a few words before hanging up.
The old man has a temper that he can't tolerate; he should be waiting patiently in the hospital.

As expected
When Bai Qianmo arrived at Han Songyan's hospital room, she saw the old man sitting in front of the sofa with a gloomy expression.
Bai Kangcheng, Xu Hualan, and Bai Yitang were also present.
The reason the old man looked so grim was that Han Yaxin and her daughter Nie Siqi were also at the hospital today.
The old man had been holding a grudge because of the incident where Han Yaxin and her daughter Nie Siqi slandered Bai Qianmo.
Seeing them come to the hospital, they naturally wouldn't give them a friendly look.
Nie Siqi was quite afraid of Grandpa Bai and Xu Hualan. From the moment she entered the room, she obediently stayed by Han Yaxin's side, keeping her head down and not saying a word.
Han Yaxin, having seen her share of ups and downs, was able to remain very enthusiastic even though she sensed she was unpopular.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. She sat by the hospital bed and reached out to hold Han Songyan's hand tightly.
“My poor sister, how could she have encountered such a thing? That heartless ingrate Bai Xiruo, my sister doted on her for twenty years, and in the end she was treated so cruelly by her.”
"Waaah, sister, if we had just returned that girl to her biological parents when we took Qianmo home, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
Bai Kangyan sighed and stood aside, offering Han Yaxin a few words of advice.
Old Bai sneered, a hint of mockery in his wise eyes.
Is this a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken?
Feeling wronged by Bai Lao's blunt mockery, Han Yaxin sobbed and wiped her tears with a tissue.
“Uncle, you can’t say that. My sister and I are biological sisters who depend on each other for survival. I admit that she takes good care of me, but I have always respected and loved my sister very much.”
Old Master Bai snorted coldly: "We Bai family members are not fools, we know exactly what kind of person you are. We just don't want to argue with you. Ever since Qianmo returned to the Bai family, you, as her aunt, have not only failed to care for and protect her, but have also repeatedly colluded with Bai Xiruo to frame and slander Qianmo. Now what right do you have to appear here crying and wailing?"
Han Yaxin's eyes were red, and she looked embarrassed.
She cursed inwardly. This old man had always looked down on her, but now that her sister was in the middle, he was actually being polite.
Now the older sister is lying in bed unconscious, and may be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. Without her support, the Bai family will look down on them even more.
“Uncle, I admit that I was misled by Bai Xiruo before and did some wrong things, but ever since I learned Bai Xiruo’s true colors, I have never had any contact with her again. Our Siqi is just an honest and simple girl. She believes everything Bai Xiruo says, which is why she hurt Qianmo at the last birthday banquet…”
As Han Yaxin was explaining, she noticed a figure standing at the door.
"Qian...Qianmo, you're here."
Bai Qianmo withdrew her indifferent gaze from Han Yaxin's face, and gave a faint, almost imperceptible twitch of her lips.
He walked to Old Bai's side.
"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt."
After greeting Elder Bai and the eldest son's family, Bai Qianmo glanced at Bai Kangyan but did not speak.
Bai Kangyan noticed the distance between Bai Qianmo and him, and felt a pang of loneliness.
"I heard from your dad that your eyes were inflamed last night. Do you feel any discomfort anywhere now?"
Bai Qianmo blinked her bright, watery eyes playfully: "Look, it's fine."
"You must take care of your health. When you live away from home, you need to know how to take care of yourself. Don't stay up late playing on your phone all the time. I know you young people love to play games, but even if they are fun, you have to do it in moderation."
Bai Qianmo nodded obediently, even though she knew that the old man watched TV and used Weibo just as much as the young people.
But what can you do when they're your elders?
The moment Han Yaxin saw Bai Qianmo, a glint of light flashed in her red, tear-filled eyes.
She pulled Nie Siqi and immediately sat down in the empty seat next to Bai Qianmo.
"Qianmo, besides visiting your mother, Siqi and I have another matter to discuss today. We had a misunderstanding with you before because of Bai Xiruo's deliberate instigation. We are here to sincerely apologize to you. Your mother is currently in a coma, and now it's just you, your aunt, and Siqi left in the Han family. Please don't be angry with your aunt."
After she finished speaking, Han Yaxin tugged at Nie Siqi beside her.
"Qianmo, Siqi has always regretted what she did to you. She has wanted to apologize to you in person for a long time."
Nie Siqi's hands, which were resting on her thighs, were clenched tightly.
Despite her best efforts to restrain herself, her dissatisfaction still betrayed her facial expressions.
She just wouldn't accept it.
Why should Bai Qianmo be able to get whatever she wants so easily?
What a high-achieving student JQ is! He started his own company and even acquired Fansheng, the largest streaming platform in the industry. His friends are all industry bigwigs and aristocratic descendants like Gou Si and Shang Xingzhou.
Even the man she deeply loved couldn't forget Bai Qianmo.
Yet she had to apologize to the woman she hated and loathed most, against her will.
Why? Why?!
