Looking at the mother and daughter putting on such a show, Bai Qianmo finally understood the power of genes.
No wonder Bai Xiruo is so good at pretending to be weak; it turns out she's not the only one who can do this, it's something she was born with in her genes.
"When I was being slandered online for dropping out of school and having an abortion, what were you doing? If you really considered me your daughter, would you have said those slanderous things about me in front of reporters? Now you've traveled all the way to the capital, not to see me, but because Bai Xiruo has been arrested, right?"
Bai Qianmo's words directly revealed Zhang Cuiyan's inner thoughts.
Her mouth twitched twice, and her chapped lips pursed in dissatisfaction.
"Speaking of Xi Ruo, what exactly did you do to her, you little brat?"
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly: "Shouldn't you be asking what Bai Xiruo did to me?"
“What could Xi Ruo do to you? She grew up in the Bai family, never suffered, and received a good education. On the contrary, you are a habitual liar and have a strange and selfish personality. Even if Xi Ruo really did something, it must have been you who hurt her first.” In her anxiety, Zhang Cuiyan blurted out her true feelings.
When she remembered that there were many reporters around, she immediately toned down her sharp edge.
With a determined heart, Zhang Cuiyan knelt down in front of Bai Qianmo in front of everyone with a "thump".
Seeing this, Bai Qianmo stood still without moving, but her cold eyes grew even colder.
"Qianmo, Xiruo is only twenty years old. Even if she really did something wrong, it's because she's young and doesn't know any better. Please think of a way to let her go, for the sake of me raising you."
"If Bai Xi commits a criminal offense, such as attempted murder, and the person she wanted to kill was her adoptive mother, such a heinous act, even if I had the ability to do so, I would only applaud and wait for the day she is sentenced as soon as possible."
“You…” Zhang Cuiyan looked at Bai Qianmo’s resolute face and trembled with anger.
"Oh dear, I can't live anymore! Everyone, come quick! This wretched girl is cruel, vicious, and utterly rebellious! She made me, her foster mother, kneel before her, be struck by lightning! Heaven, open your eyes and take this wicked child away! Waaah..."
Bai Qianmo coldly watched Zhang Cuiyan throw a tantrum on the ground, a tactic she often used.
I still remember when we were in that small mountain village, Zhang Cuiyan was stubborn and extremely selfish. She was always calculating and petty, which offended many people in the village.
Every few days, he would get into fights with a peasant woman in the village, and his insults became more and more vulgar, he had really developed a sharp tongue.
If she encounters someone who can be even more verbally abusive than her, she will lie down in their house and throw a tantrum until they can't handle her anymore and give in on their own. She feels smug and thinks she has won a battle.
The fact that her home was ransacked became something Zhang Cuiyan boasted about.
"Your trick might work a little in the countryside, but you've come to the wrong place." Bai Qianmo sneered, glancing at Bai Xinrou.
"I'll give you five minutes to get her out of here. Otherwise, I'll call the police and say she's causing trouble at our filming location. If you want to go to jail with Bai Xiruo, I'm willing to do you a favor."
"Qianmo, how could you treat us like this? Mom was right, you're a wolf, an ungrateful wretch, a selfish, cold-blooded, emotionless animal!"
"In that home, did you ever truly treat me like family? When there wasn't enough food, I could only eat plain rice. When there wasn't enough firewood, I was always the one chopping wood from the mountain since I was six. When the house wasn't big enough, they demolished the old, dilapidated house and renovated it to make my room. When the wind and rain came, my bedding would get soaked. What were you doing then? You were scolding me, saying I slept like a log and didn't even realize my blankets were soaked. Ha! I lived in that environment for 13 years, and now you come here to ask me for my conscience? Do you even have that kind of conscience?"
Bai Qianmo's forceful questioning left Bai Xinrou speechless.
"Three minutes left. Think it over. If you're sure you want to keep this up, I'll definitely play along to the end."
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Hai rushed over, bringing with him a group of security guards.
"What's going on? Who are you people? What are you doing causing trouble on our set?"
At this moment, someone in the group of reporters couldn't help but speak up.
"I really thought Bai Qianmo was ungrateful and abandoned her adoptive mother and relatives after getting money. I never imagined that Bai Qianmo suffered so much in that family."
"How much strength can a six-year-old girl have? My daughter is only six years old, and she's pampered like a little princess at home every day. I can't believe what it's like for my daughter to go up the mountain to chop firewood. As a mother, I feel heartbroken whenever I think about that scene."
"This Ms. Zhang just claimed that she raised Bai Qianmo for twenty years, she's obviously lying."
"No wonder Bai Qianmo doesn't care about them. If it were me, I would wish I never had to see these people again in my life."
Zhang Cuiyan, who was lying on the ground crying, stiffened for a moment. Although she was crying, she was actually secretly paying attention to the reactions of the people around her.
Unexpectedly, instead of criticizing Bai Qianmo, these reporters all turned around and criticized her?
Why is this situation different from when I was back in my hometown?
Zhang Cuiyan was stunned, and Bai Xinrou was dumbfounded.
Bai Xinrou was, after all, a girl, and not as thick-skinned as Zhang Cuiyan. In addition, she had received a certain education at school and also cared about her reputation.
Seeing his own mother rolling around on the ground like a shrew was already embarrassing.
But when she thought about the purpose of her visit, she held back.
As long as she can win over Bai Qianmo, stay in the capital, and use Bai Qianmo's connections to meet some wealthy people, she believes that with her looks, she can definitely marry into a wealthy family.
Even if she doesn't marry into a wealthy family, Bai Qianmo is now the boss of Fansheng. As long as they are willing to promote her, she will definitely be able to live a life of luxury.
In short, once she came out, she had no intention of going back.
"Mom, why don't we leave here first?" Now is not the time to provoke Bai Qianmo, otherwise we won't get any benefit from it.
Moreover, if today's events are exposed by reporters, it will not be good for their reputation.
Zhang Cuiyan had the same thought. When Bai Xinrou came to help her up, although she was still throwing a tantrum, she secretly followed Bai Xinrou's help and sat up from the ground.
"Bai Qianmo, I've raised you for so many years, you can't escape it. You won't be spared any of the responsibilities you're owed. I'll stay in the capital and keep dragging this out with you." As Zhang Cuiyan left, she didn't forget to glare fiercely at Bai Qianmo.
Watching Zhang Cuiyan and Bai Xinrou leave, a deep hatred appeared in Bai Qianmo's calm eyes.
Seeing these two people brought back a flood of unpleasant childhood memories, memories she least wanted to recall.
