Bai Nuo touched his face, wincing in pain at the touch, but gritted his teeth to bear it. "It hurts a little, but not too much. A real man shouldn't cry so easily. Stop it!"
Ayu's tears stopped abruptly at Bai Nuo's stern words.
"If anyone hits you in the future, hit them back. Don't be polite, but don't cry. If you can beat them, then fight; if you can't, then run. Anyway, don't shed tears when something happens, understand?" Bai Nuo didn't care whether A Yu understood or not. The room was a mess, and Grandma was lying on the floor. A child's emotions weren't that important.
"Nono, don't separate from your father... it's not good!" Bai Nuo struggled to get her grandmother into bed, and just as she covered her with the blanket, her grandmother grabbed her sleeve.
"Are you awake?" Bai Nuo breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Does anything hurt? But you'll have to bear with it, there's no way to get a doctor for you right now." It would be strange if she didn't feel pain; the old woman's complexion had worsened, turning pale.
But the old woman just shook her head. "Did you hear what I just said? Don't separate the family!" Actually, she hadn't fainted at all. She had just fallen and couldn't get up, and because of the pain, she couldn't make a sound. But she hadn't passed out. She knew everything that had happened here.
Grandma disagreed with the idea of separating the family property.
"Grandma, if we don't separate, will we even have a chance to live?" Bai Nuo felt that she understood Grandma's thoughts very well. Grandma was old and all she wanted was for her son to take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days. If Grandma had been stubborn in the past, she could have moved out to live with A Yu, but now that she was old, that kind of toughness had disappeared with the passage of time.
She didn't want to separate from the family. Actually, it wouldn't be a problem for her father to remarry after her mother died, but even if her father didn't care about them, he shouldn't treat them like this. Bai Dalin didn't treat them like human beings. If they stayed, they would either be beaten to death or sold. How could she not run away?
“You can move out! You can disown him, anything is fine, but you can’t separate from the family.” The old woman was unusually insistent.
"Grandma!" A surge of anger welled up in Bai Nuo's heart. She pointed to her swollen cheek and then to Bai Yu's eyes, which were swollen like eggs from crying. "Do you see my face? He hit me like this. Do you see A Yu? He's so scared. What if he hits me again next time?"
"No way!" Looking at Bai Nuo's swollen face, the old woman felt a pang of heartache. Bai Nuo was her granddaughter, whom she had raised single-handedly and cherished dearly. However, Bai Dalin had no brothers, and throughout all these dynasties, not a single daughter had ever wanted to separate from her father. This...this...
"If he hits you again, I'll fight him to the death!"
"hehe......"
"You're not allowed to separate from the family!" Seeing that Bai Nuo was unyielding and determined to leave, the old woman's tone became stern. "If you dare say that again, I'll die right in front of you!"

As dawn broke through the darkness and the first rays of sunlight appeared on the distant eastern horizon, Chen Qiuling woke up. She hadn't slept well that night; her neck, hands, and feet ached.
"Hmm..."
"Awake?" Bai Nuo woke up when Chen Qiuling did. "Did you sleep well?" She even had the mind to tease her. The embarrassment of last night was completely gone. If it weren't for her cheeks still being swollen like a pig's head, no one would have imagined that she had been beaten so badly last night.
Actually, not only Chen Qiuling slept poorly, but Bai Nuo also slept poorly. The room was very messy, but Bai Nuo didn't want to clean it up. Anyway, she would not live here in the future. She had a dream all night long, dreaming of her parents, her newly bought house and car, and even Jiang Wanyin. If these people were still here, they would protect her firmly, right?
"When are you finally going to let me go back?" Chen Qiuling had been up all night, her eyes bloodshot, her voice hoarse, and heavy bags and dark circles under her eyes. She looked more than ten years older overnight. After a night of torment, she felt extremely irritable, and the first thing she said was accusatory, "It wasn't me who hit you, it was your father. What kind of ability do you have to come to me? If you're so capable, go find your father!"
"You became my father's mistress, and you resent my mother. The grudge between my mother and you is my mother's. What kind of skill is it for you to bully me? If you're so capable, go find my mother!" Bai Nuo chuckled, and hearing the footsteps outside the door, guessing that Bai Dalin had arrived, she shut her mouth.
"Dalin!" Chen Qiuling heard the footsteps and was about to speak, but before she could finish, a pair of cold scissors was already pressed against her neck, and she immediately froze.
"Cry!" Bai Nuo said coldly. "Tell me not to bully you or stab you. Hurry up and say it, or you'll be able to send your son to sweep your grave in a dream next year!"
Chen Qiuling froze, then burst into tears, begging for mercy and screaming as if someone was really hitting her. But Bai Nuo was just standing next to her, holding scissors to her neck; he did nothing else. It's a pity Chen Qiuling isn't an actress, given how much she can deliver.
"Bai Nuo, what do you want? Open the door for me!" Bai Dalin, who was outside the door, was extremely anxious when he heard Chen Qiuling crying so pitifully. He was worried that Bai Nuo might really do something to Chen Qiuling, and he was also worried that something might happen to the child. He paced back and forth anxiously and tried to push the door, but the door did not budge!
"Open the door! Open the door right now!" Bai Dalin cried out urgently.
"I told you, if you agree to my conditions, I will naturally open the door and return your wife and children to you!" Bai Nuo glanced at the door that had moved slightly. Bai Dalin still cared about Chen Qiuling. He had come so early. It was barely dawn.
