Han Songyan looked aggrieved: "This really has nothing to do with me. How was I supposed to know that a female reporter would stand up and smear Qianmo at the press conference? If I had known, I would have kicked her out long ago."
"You don't know? Then what about your sister Han Yaxin? Didn't you understand what she said back then? Saying those things in public, she was clearly slandering Qianmo. Han Songyan, Qianmo is your daughter, she's not your enemy! Do you even know what you're doing?"
With tears welling up in her eyes, Han Songyan said, "I just wanted her to leave the entertainment industry, but I really didn't expect that female reporter to bring up some unfounded rumors to smear her. I was also innocently implicated."
"Besides, Qianmo has already proven her innocence, and this matter is over. You don't need to get so angry with me anymore, do you?"
Han Songyan was angry; she felt that Bai Kangyan was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is a big dye vat. It's very difficult for female celebrities to remain untainted here. Which famous female star doesn't have a few scandals? Everyone has to go through this. Since Qianmo wants to continue in this industry, facing doubts and slander is only a matter of time."
Hearing Han Songyan's self-righteous defense, Bai Kangyan's face darkened considerably: "So you don't feel any remorse at all?"
Han Songyan blinked guiltily, "I admit I was prejudiced against Qianmo before, and I've been trying to reflect on myself these past few days. As for Xiruo, she also did some wrong things before, and she's already moved out to avoid upsetting you. How much more guilty do you want us to feel? Do you want me to kneel down and kowtow to her to apologize? Besides, this matter really has nothing to do with us. It was all Song Qingqing's doing. Her sister, Song Wanwan, had a falling out with Qianmo during the filming of 'The Phoenix's Journey,' and was even blacklisted by the entertainment industry because of Qianmo. So Song Qingqing wanted to avenge her sister, which led to what happened a few days ago."
Bai Kangyan fell silent. Listening to Han Songyan's words, it seemed that neither she nor Bai Xiruo were involved in this matter, but he still felt that there were many loopholes in her words.
"Mom, is Qianmo really JQ's PhD?" Bai Luoyu asked with a worried expression.
Han Songyan looked somewhat uncomfortable. The person she used to mock had suddenly soared to great heights and become a top student at JQ, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for her.
"It's said that JQ's official website and her teacher both personally confirmed it, so it must be true."
Bai Luoyu frowned. The little crow wasn't a junior high school student, but a student in the JQ Genius Class?
So, the photo on Death's desk that day was of Little Raven himself?
"I'm going out for a bit." Bai Luoyu grabbed his coat and hurriedly left.
"Luo Yu..." Han Songyan wanted to call out to her son, but Bai Luo Yu was in a hurry to leave and didn't hear her call at all.
Han Songyan looked nervously at Bai Kangyan. Originally, if her son had gone too far, he could have stood up for her. But now, she was really afraid that this man would lose his temper.
Bai Kangyan didn't get angry. They had argued too many times before, and their relationship had been seriously affected.
These past few days, while he's abroad, in the quiet of the night, he often thinks about how he fell in love with this woman.
It was perhaps because of her exceptionally beautiful face, and then because of her perseverance in pursuing her dreams, that he was able to start his business in a foreign country. When he was at the lowest point in his life, this woman was by his side, supporting him all the way.
So he secretly vowed that once he made it big, he would give her the best of everything.
They had been married for over twenty years and had never had a quarrel that affected their relationship, until Qianmo came home and he was disappointed in her time and time again because of her attitude towards their daughter.
He doesn't want to argue with her anymore, because arguing doesn't solve anything.
He pinched his brow wearily and said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it turns out that you are involved, I will not tolerate you this time."
“Honey, we’re really innocent. Xi Ruo is being cursed all over the internet because of Song Qingqing’s framing. She’s already pitiful enough. Yesterday, Grandpa publicly announced at Qian Mo’s press conference that her name would be removed from the Bai family’s genealogy. She was afraid you would be angry if you saw her, so she moved out yesterday. We’ve watched Xi Ruo grow up. She’s really not a bad child. In a few days, after Grandpa’s anger has subsided, could you go and put in a good word for Xi Ruo?”
There was not a trace of heartache in Bai Kangyan's eyes. He said coldly, "The old man has his reasons for doing this. Xi Ruo is not a member of the Bai family after all. Now that Qian Mo has returned, everyone should go back to their place."
Han Songyan opened her mouth, wanting to say a few words for Bai Xiruo, but Bai Kangyan waved his hand wearily: "I haven't slept all night, I need to catch up on my sleep, don't bother me unless it's important."
After uttering these cold words, Bai Kangyan got up and left.
Han Songyan was filled with disappointment. It was all because of that brat Qianmo. If it weren't for her, how could their relationship have turned out like this?
Master Qingyun's calculations were indeed correct. Qianmo and her birth charts are incompatible, like fire and water. As long as this girl is in the Bai family, there will never be peace in this family.
But what can she do right now?
The old man and Bai Kangyan both favored that girl. Because of Xi Ruo's matter, he was in a bad situation in the Bai family. Besides, that girl was his own daughter after all. He couldn't really send her away, could he?
