Bai Qianmo was not angry at all at Bai Lao's lecture, and "helped" Bai Xinrou out of the ward.
When Bai Xinrou tried to speak, she secretly exerted force, causing Bai Xinrou to tremble all over in pain and lose the strength to speak.
However, she looked more like she had sprained her ankle.
Han Songyan was very angry with Bai Lao.
After Bai Qianmo left with Bai Xinrou, she said coldly to Bai Laodao.
"Dad, what's wrong with you today? Qianmo has always been very respectful to you, and she was the granddaughter you loved the most. Qianmo didn't push Bai Xinrou on purpose just now, so why are you so angry?"
Old Bai glared at Han Songyan with a cold face.
"How dare you talk to me like that? How did you treat Qianmo before?"
“I…I was blinded by Xi Ruo at the time. But later it turned out that Qian Mo was the kindest child. Although she doesn’t talk much and always seems cold, she is actually very soft-hearted. Moreover, she cares a lot about her family. She handled every single one of the big and small things that happened to the Bai family.”
At this point, Han Songyan felt even more guilty towards Bai Qianmo and wanted to protect her daughter even more.
"When you were sick this time, and Yitang and the others were kidnapped, it was Qianmo who took care of everything and even brought Yitang back safely. She's just a young girl who has just come of age. When I treated her like that before, she was upset, but she still had you as her grandfather. But how is there any difference between you now and me before?"
With a gloomy face, Bai Lao pushed the half-bowl of white porridge on the bedside table to the ground when Han Songyan got excited.
Clang
The bowls and plates shattered, and the soup inside splashed all over the floor.
Han Songyan shrank back in fright.
To outsiders, she is a glamorous pianist and a big star.
No one would know that she was deeply wary of Elder Bai.
It all comes down to my bad background. When I first met Bai Kangyan, we were from completely different worlds.
Everyone in the Bai family felt that she was marrying above her station, especially with Xu Hualan, the eldest daughter-in-law, being such a gem in comparison. She was like a hard, ugly stone standing out against the backdrop of that gem, always living under the cold, arrogant gaze of Old Master Bai.
This deep-seated inferiority complex is difficult to change even after time has passed and things have changed.
"When did it become your place, a junior, to interfere in my affairs?" Old Bai rebuked angrily.
Han Songyan was so frightened that she didn't dare to say another word in rebuttal.
Xu Hualan walked to Han Songyan's side and said gently to Bai Lao, "Dad, Kang Cheng should be handling your discharge procedures by now. Let me help you pack your things, change your clothes, and we'll get ready to go home in a bit."
Xu Hualan did not mention the content of the argument between Han Songyan and Bai Lao.
The old man was acting very strangely today; he was easily angered and irritable.
She had served the old man for many years and knew his temperament very well.
Even she couldn't understand the old man in front of her at this moment; this feeling was very abnormal.
Judging from Qianmo's calm attitude when she looked at the old man, she seemed unsurprised by his change of heart.
Perhaps there are hidden reasons behind this that they are unaware of, so the arguments and debates at this moment become meaningless.
Old Bai's face remained cold, but he managed to suppress his anger when Xu Hualan mentioned being discharged from the hospital.
Xu Hualan prepared cotton-padded clothes for him to wear when he went out.
The old man had no problem moving around and went to the bathroom to change by himself.
Xu Hualan took the opportunity to say to Han Songyan, "The old man is acting strangely today. Don't take it to heart. What we need to do now is figure out the truth behind his change."
Bai Lao's change was too obvious. Even though Han Songyan didn't stay by Bai Lao's side to serve him for a long time like Xu Hualan, she had already noticed the difference between him and the past.

Bai Qianmo took Bai Xinrou to the hospital rooftop and suddenly let go of her.
Bai Xinrou staggered and fell to the ground.
"Bai Qianmo, you've gone too far." Bai Xinrou stood up, brushed the dust off her clothes, and glared fiercely at Bai Qianmo.
"Excessive? Compared to what you've done, what I've done is nothing."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Xinrou feigned a puzzled expression.
Bai Qianmo scoffed coldly.
"Bai Xinrou, you are still lacking in skill compared to Bai Xiruo. Do you think you are qualified to stand here if you don't have someone guiding you?"
"I don't understand what you're saying. I know, you're jealous of how much Grandpa Bai dotes on me, right? Hehe, then I'm really sorry. From now on, you'll have to watch me receive all the love and pampering from Grandpa Bai. Everything you have, I will have too."
Bai Qianmo stared coldly at Bai Xinrou, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"Is this your purpose in getting close to the Bai family? You're jealous of everything I have, so you'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals."
"So what if it is? Bai Qianmo, what makes you think you deserve this life? In my eyes, you'll always be the one sleeping in the woodshed, the one I mock and insult every day. You'll never be able to surpass me. Miss Bai? Hehehe, what Bai Xiruo couldn't do, I've done now. Even if I'm not a member of the Bai family, in Old Master Bai's eyes, I'm even better than your own granddaughter. Aren't you angry and jealous? Bai Qianmo, I'll make you watch as I gradually take your place."
Just then, Bai Xinrou's phone rang.
She glanced at it, then proudly turned her phone screen towards Bai Qianmo.
"Grandpa Bai called. He must be worried that you're bullying me. Hehe, Bai Qianmo, I'll let you taste what it's like to be out of favor at the Bai family. Oh, by the way, Grandpa Bai has agreed to let me bring my mom to live at the Bai family."
