Bai Family Restaurant
A family of five is having dinner at the dining table.
After finishing his meal, Bai Kangyan gently put down his chopsticks.
He glanced at Bai Qianmo.
"I have something to announce."
As soon as he spoke, Han Songyan, Bai Xiruo, and Bai Luoyu all turned to look at him.
Bai Kangyan smiled and said, "Grandpa said today that he will be returning to China with your uncle next month. The reason for Grandpa's return is that he plans to publicly reveal Qianmo's identity as the eldest daughter of the Bai family when he celebrates his 70th birthday."
Mr. Bai's eldest son, Bai Kangcheng, was transferred to work at the F country embassy last year.
Therefore, the first wife's family currently resides abroad.
The old man suffered a cerebral hemorrhage last year. Although he was sent to the military general hospital for treatment in time, he was left with chronic leg problems.
Due to work reasons, Baek Kang-sung will be living abroad temporarily for the next two years.
He was very filial and worried about his father living alone in the old house, so he took his father abroad to recuperate.
The old man was in a hurry to return to China because he wanted to see his granddaughter.
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of the spoon hitting the porcelain bowl was particularly jarring in the quiet restaurant.
Bai Xiruo quickly lowered her eyes and bit her lip.
He casually picked up the spoon and drank the soup, seemingly lost in thought.
Han Songyan sat next to Bai Xiruo, taking in her every move.
"The old man's birthday is only two months away, doesn't that seem a bit too rushed?" Han Songyan frowned, clearly disapproving.
Bai Kangyan naturally noticed Bai Xiruo's unusual behavior.
He also felt sorry for this girl, but after all, Qianmo was the real daughter of the Bai family.
"This is the old man's wish, and we, as the younger generation, shouldn't say too much."
Bai Kangyan knew Han Songyan's thoughts, so he could only use the old man as a shield.
“Right now, everyone in the capital thinks that Xi Ruo is the real Bai family's young lady. If we hastily reveal Qian Mo's identity, what will Xi Ruo do in the future? There will definitely be many people laughing at her.”
Han Songyan was depressed and had no appetite.
She looked at her son and gestured for him to say a few words as well.
Bai Luoyu put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat.
"Qianmo's identity will be revealed sooner or later, but now is not the best time. We need to plan this matter carefully."
Bai Kangyan's expression darkened slightly, and he lowered his eyes to ponder for a while.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat tense.
Bai Luoyu glanced at Bai Qianmo out of the corner of his eye.
Bai Qianmo seemed detached, casually eating her meal.
They couldn't even be bothered to lift their eyelids.
This girl is either stupid or heartless.
"Qianmo, what do you think?"
Bai Kangyan carefully considered his wife's words, and a hint of hesitation crept into his heart.
Qianmo's identity will definitely be made public.
Right now, everyone in the capital thinks Xi Ruo is the eldest daughter of the Bai family.
If Qianmo's identity were revealed so suddenly, Xiruo would become a laughing stock in aristocratic circles.
This undoubtedly ruined Xi Ruo's life.
The thought of Xi Ruo having to bear the reputation of a fake heiress and being ridiculed and mocked by the world made him struggle.
Although this child is not her own, she has cherished and raised him as a precious treasure.
He really couldn't bear to watch Xi Ruo be gossiped about behind her back.
But the old man's attitude...
Thinking about these things gave him a headache, and his temples throbbed.
Ultimately, he passed the problem on to the person involved!
He noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.
Bai Qianmo slowly put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with the handkerchief in front of her.
Her entire movement was elegant and composed, without the slightest hint of the awkwardness one would expect from a rural girl.
"You shouldn't be asking me this question. Since it's the old man's idea, if you want to solve the problem, just go directly to the old man."
After speaking, Bai Qianmo slightly raised her eyelids and glanced at Bai Kangyan indifferently.
Bai Kangyan's face turned slightly embarrassed by the gaze.
He knew that the one who tied the knot must untie it.
The decision rests entirely with the old man.
But the only one who could temporarily dissuade the old man was Qianmo.
Qianmo's words undoubtedly laid bare his thoughts, exposing them to the light of day.
He was so embarrassed that he had nowhere to hide.
"I'm full, you can continue eating!"
Bai Qianmo said something politely.
He then got up and left.
The restaurant fell silent for a moment.
A faint, eerie voice slowly rose to the occasion.
“How could my sister possibly agree to this? After all, in her heart, I am a plunderer who stole her identity.”
Bai Xiruo's voice carried a touch of sadness, like the cold autumn night wind, making one's heart ache.
"Don't talk nonsense. You're innocent too. How can she put all the blame on you?"
Staring at Bai Xiruo's pale face, Han Songyan's eyes stung slightly.
"Xi Ruo, I know you have a kind heart, but you can't take all the responsibility on yourself. Don't worry, our whole family will support you." Bai Luoyu's expression was somewhat serious.
Before Bai Qianmo entered the family, Xi Ruo's life was like that of an innocent and carefree little princess.
But Bai Qianmo's appearance completely shattered all of Xi Ruo's beautiful dreams!
Although he knew he should remain neutral.
He also knew that everything Xi Ruo had possessed over the past twenty years should have belonged to Bai Qianmo.
Human emotions are the most elusive thing.
From the time he was old enough to understand, the only person who was by his side, crying with him, laughing with him, and making him happy, was Xi Ruo.
