Located in an urban village on the outskirts of Beijing, the small hotel is a three-story old residential building.
The village's environment can be described as dirty, chaotic, and poor. Small shops line the uneven streets, and food stalls are set up at night for people returning from working in the city.
Zhang Cuiyan and Bai Xinrou sat in front of a noodle shop, with their temporary hotel upstairs.
Zhang Cuiyan ordered two bowls of beef noodles and ate them with great relish.
"Aren't there a lot of netizens cursing Bai Qianmo online right now? Hmph, serves her right. That heartless bastard, living a life of luxury in the capital, does she really think I can't deal with her? Heh, in a couple of days, she'll be coming to us on her own initiative."
Bai Xinrou glanced around the small restaurant. The walls were yellowed and dilapidated, the tables were worn out, and the floor was greasy. Some men who were obviously migrant workers were sitting around making a lot of noise.
Bai Xinrou absentmindedly picked at the noodles in her bowl.
Thinking back to when I saw Bai Qianmo today, I felt a pang of sadness.
If only she had been the one who was switched at birth with Bai Xiruo.
In that case, her life would be completely changed, and she would be able to live in a mansion, wear designer clothes, and drive a nice car, just like Bai Qianmo is now.
Now she can have everything that Bai Qianmo has.
No more scrimping and saving every day for a few dollars, and feeling envious when my roommates buy dresses that cost hundreds of dollars.
Feeling agitated, Bai Xinrou slammed down her chopsticks and picked up her phone to browse through it.
The footage of the interview with the mother and daughter by Orange Video has indeed been uploaded online, contrary to Zhang Cuiyan's expectations.
It seems that netizens have become immune to Bai Qianmo's reputation.
Some netizens said: All the scandals surrounding Bai Qianmo will be overturned. Everyone should refrain from making insults right away. I don't think this mother and daughter are kind people.
This comment actually received tens of thousands of likes.
Bai Xinrou looked through it for a while, then quietly withdrew.
"Mom, I don't think what we said today will threaten Bai Qianmo at all. It would be better if we eased our relationship with her first and then retreated to advance."
How does one use a retreat as a strategy for advancement?
Bai Xinrou thought for a moment: "Let's first improve our relationship with Qianmo and gain her trust before she takes me into the entertainment industry. If I become famous, won't our family's fortunes be completely turned around?"
Zhang Cuiyan stared at Bai Xinrou expressionlessly.
"Smack!" The chopsticks in my hand were slammed hard on the table.
Soup splashed onto Bai Xinrou's face, and Bai Xinrou was stunned, not knowing what she had said wrong.
"You little vixen, have you been blinded by the arrival of the big city? Have you forgotten why we came here?"
Bai Xinrou was full of grievances: "We came here to save Bai Xiruo, but that girl doesn't recognize us at all. Why should we go and save her? All these years she has been living a life of luxury in the Bai family, being the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and she looks down on us at all."
"Stop talking! Whether she acknowledges me or not, she is a piece of my flesh and blood. She is in trouble, and as her mother, I have to help her no matter what."
"I'm full!" Bai Xinrou put down her chopsticks, grabbed her bag, and rushed out of the small hotel.
Zhang Cuiyan was also very annoyed, so she placed the beef noodles that Bai Xinrou had barely touched in front of her.
"You brat, wasting food again."

Bai Qianmo came to the Second Hospital after get off work.
Zhu Qinghan, Yin Ling, and Gu Shengling also rushed over.
Zhu Qinghan was helping Han Songyan with her medical examination when Dr. Liao arrived with a group of experts to inspect Han Songyan's condition.
Today marks the third day since Han Songyan fell into a coma.
If he doesn't wake up soon, he can basically be diagnosed as being in a vegetative state.
Bai Kangyan, Bai Luoyu, and Bai Kangcheng have been contacting friends everywhere and have consulted experts both domestically and internationally.
The experts I consulted all gave the same answer.
If he doesn't wake up in three days, this will be a long battle.
When Dr. Liao and his colleagues entered, they saw Zhu Qinghan performing acupuncture on Han Songyan, and his expression immediately turned serious.
"This is……"
Bai Kangyan was exhausted both physically and mentally these past few days and didn't think much about it: "It was my daughter who invited the doctor."
One of the older experts looked Zhu Qinghan up and down and asked, "Young lady, how old are you?"
"I'm 23 years old this year."
"You're so young and you dare to claim you understand medicine? Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are profound and complex. At your age, you've probably only reached the beginner level. How dare you spout such nonsense?"
Zhu Qinghan inserted the last silver needle into Han Songyan's head before slowly standing up and looking at the senior experts.
"Since you say that medicine is profound and extensive, you should understand that there are many things that you have never heard of or seen before, so it is not surprising that you are proficient in medicine at the age of 23."
"This patient has suffered severe damage to his cerebral cortex. If he does not wake up within three days, he will be in an irreversible deep coma. In cases of loss of consciousness like this, even the most advanced scientific instruments cannot improve the patient's condition. Traditional Chinese medicine has always focused on conditioning the body, which is relatively slow to take effect. What effect can your acupuncture therapy have?"
Dr. Liao said to Bai Kangyan, "Kangyan, I know you're anxious and want your wife to wake up quickly, but you can't blindly seek treatment in desperation. We experts come to the hospital every day to hold seminars, hoping to develop a medical treatment plan for your wife as soon as possible. As for these unorthodox people, don't let them mess around with you anymore."
