Leaving the Bai family's old house
After Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo got into the car, Bai Qianmo stared silently out the window for a while.
"Fifth Brother, I want to go to Longxi Garden."
The man didn't ask any further questions: "Okay, I'll take you there."
He knew that there was always a hurdle in Qianmo's heart that she couldn't overcome regarding her parents.
Even if one forgets that unpleasant memory, one would still feel deep disappointment when they learn that their parents were forced to acknowledge them.
He knew this girl well. From the time they first met when she was eight years old, he had witnessed firsthand the indifference and harsh treatment she received in her adoptive parents' home.
With endless chores to do every day, her adoptive mother always forcefully made her take on all the housework. As a result, before the age of eight, she would often be late or leave early when attending school in the village, which led to her parents being called in by the teacher multiple times.
Instead of defending her, the foster mother slapped her twice in front of everyone and went around slandering her reputation.
Growing up in such an environment allowed her to see the worst side of human nature at a young age, which caused her to develop resentment towards her family.
Therefore, he could understand why she still harbored resentment towards her biological parents after all this time.
The car sped along the road, and Bai Qianmo remained silent the whole way, seemingly preoccupied with many things.
She was thinking about the scene when she appeared at Longxi Garden.
How should we address Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan when we speak?
The titles "Dad" and "Mom" were both unfamiliar and heavy to her.
Arriving at the villa in Longxi Garden
Gu Jueye looked at Bai Qianmo: "Do you need me to go in with you?"
"No need, I'll be out in a bit."
Gu Jueye didn't say anything more, respecting her opinion.
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Bai Qianmo nodded, looking at the man she deeply loved and who loved her deeply in return, and her heart suddenly became very calm.
Get out of the car
I walked to the door and pressed the doorbell.
A moment later, the nanny ran out of the house.
When the nanny saw Bai Qianmo, a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She had only been with the Bai family for a short time, but she had already gained a detailed understanding of their situation.
Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai have a son and a daughter. Their daughter is Bai Qianmo, a very popular star in the entertainment industry.
"Miss Bai is back. The master and mistress are home. Please come in."
The nanny opened the door, and Bai Qianmo walked in.
The nanny was so excited that she danced around: "Oh my, you're even more beautiful in person than in the photos, Miss Bai! My granddaughter is a fan of yours. She really likes you. When she found out I was working as a nanny for the Bai family, she asked me several times to help her get an autographed photo."
Bai Qianmo smiled slightly: "How old is your granddaughter?"
"I'm in my final year of junior high school, and I'll be taking the high school entrance exam this summer."
Bai Qianmo nodded, chatted for a few minutes, and then went to the living room.
"Sir, Madam, Miss Bai is back."
The nanny opened the door and invited Bai Qianmo in.
The couple, who were sitting in the living room, both looked towards the door when they heard their daughter return.
"Qianmo, you're back!" Bai Kangyan put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up happily.
Han Songyan smiled somewhat awkwardly.
"Why are you back at this hour? Did you just finish work? Have you eaten yet?"
"I've already eaten." Bai Qianmo walked to the sofa.
"I'm going out of town for a while tomorrow, so I'm coming home to visit today."
Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan exchanged a glance.
Han Songyan asked, "Where are we going?"
"Yunnan,"
"So far?" Han Songyan frowned.
"I heard there are a lot of snakes, insects, and rodents over there, so I need to bring some insect repellent. Have you prepared all of that?"
Bai Qianmo looked at Han Songyan and could tell that she was genuinely worried about her.
"It's ready."
"That's good. Although you're young, you still need to take care of your health and balance work and rest."
Bai Kangyan asked with concern, "What kind of movie are you filming that requires you to go to such a far place?"
Bai Qianmo: ……
"That...the theme of tomb raiding!"
They're going to go down into the tomb of the King of Qi together, so it's a similar theme, right?
Han Songyan said, "This topic is quite popular recently, but I've heard it's very tough."
The family of three sat together and chatted idly for more than ten minutes without realizing it.
Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan felt that their daughter was very well-behaved today. She answered almost everything they asked and talked more than before.
This made them very happy.
Bai Qianmo glanced at the time: "I should go back."
Han Songyan paused, somewhat reluctant, "You're leaving so soon? It's raining outside, why don't you stay here for the night?"
"No, the car is waiting for me outside."
Bai Qianmo got up and walked towards the door, then suddenly remembered something.
He pulled a photo out of his purse; these were some of the few photos he had left from today's press conference.
I took out a spare pen and signed my name on the photo. After thinking for a moment, I wrote a line of words of encouragement on the back.
She walked up to the nanny.
"Give this to your granddaughter, and I hope she will do well in her high school entrance exam this year."
The nanny was overjoyed, holding the photo up: "If that girl sees this, she'll be so happy she won't be able to sleep all night."
Bai Qianmo smiled and turned to look at Bai Kangyan and Han Songyan.
There was a few seconds of silence.
"Dad, Mom, take good care of yourselves."
The two froze on the spot.
After Bai Qianmo left home, Han Songyan's eyes welled up with tears, which fell in a steady stream.
"Did you hear that? Our daughter is calling us."
Bai Kangyan was also visibly excited.
"She has finally let go of it, and we should too."
Han Songyan nodded with tears of joy: "Yes, we still have the rest of our lives to make up for our mistakes. Qianmo is a kind child. I, an unqualified mother, should be grateful that I gave birth to such a generous and tolerant daughter."
Sometimes she would fantasize that if she were in Qianmo's position and faced her mother's indifference and suppression, she might hold a grudge for the rest of her life.
This is all just human nature.
Therefore, she dared not hope that her daughter could forgive her now.
She thought she would never hear that "Mom" again today.
Bai Qianmo stepped out of her house, and a light drizzle brushed against her cheeks, making her feel exceptionally relaxed and at ease.
She felt the shadow deep within her heart gradually disappearing.
