Chapter 717 Want to sit in my young mistress's seat? You'll have to wait in line!
"yes."
Bai Luoshuang slightly raised her eyes, a hint of mockery appearing in her cold gaze, her red lips moving slightly: "If only Bai Luoxi had married He Huaixu."
"Unfortunately, it wasn't her."
A few words can kill someone and break their spirit.
"White Frost—"
Enraged, Madam Bai abruptly stood up, her expression ferocious. "So what if I married He Huaixu? I still can't hold onto his heart!"
"After being married for many years, I can count the number of times we've shared a bed on my fingers."
Madam Bai stepped forward, staring arrogantly at Bai Luoshuang, and sarcastically remarked without any mercy, "If it weren't for that accident, I doubt Dr. He would even know what you look like."
"..."
Touched on a sore spot, Bai Luoshuang slowly tightened her grip on her side.
really.
Although she was the eldest daughter of the Bai family, a powerful clan in the Southern Continent, her birth mother died early, her stepmother was mean, and her father didn't care about her, an orphan.
High-society gatherings, socialite parties...
Bai Luoxi has always represented the Bai family at these events.
If it weren't for that sensational "accident" that shook the entire Southern Continent, probably no one would know that the Bai family had an eldest daughter.
"So what?"
Bai Luoshuang raised her fair and delicate face, her gaze leisurely fixed on her smug stepmother opposite her, her voice languid: "As long as I don't divorce He Huaixu, the position of the young mistress of the He family is mine. Bai Luoxi wants to sit here? Get in line!"
"You little bitch!" Madam Bai was furious, raising her hand to slap Bai Luoshuang across the face. "Who do you think you are to show off in front of me?"
"Smack—"
Although Bai Luoshuang looks delicate, her grandmother secretly taught her Taekwondo since she was a child, and she is quite skilled.
She intercepted Madam Bai's hand, a slight smile curving her lips: "You old hag, it's none of your business to talk nonsense in front of me."
"..."
Madam Bai stood frozen in place, staring at Bai Luoshuang in disbelief.
What did she just curse at herself?
You old bastard!
“Although I am not favored in the He family, I still hold the title of Young Mistress of the He family.” Bai Luoshuang gripped Madam Bai’s hand tightly and said slowly and deliberately, “Today’s slap is a blow to the He family’s face. What do you think their reaction will be?”
"..."
The insults Madam Bai hurled at him caught in his throat.
yes.
No matter what, we can't afford to offend the He family.
"Bang--"
Bai Luoshuang shook her hand away and wiped it clean with disgust. "I'm going to visit Grandma."
"..."
Watching Bai Luoshuang's retreating figure, Madam Bai was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.
In the entire Southern Continent, apart from the mysterious underground organization, the He Group is the most powerful.
The Bai family gained many benefits from the marriage alliance.
not to mention.
After Bai Luoshuang and He Huaixu divorce, Luo Xi will still have to marry into the family, so it's even more important not to let their relationship sour.
As for that little bitch—
Once He Huaixu dumps her, there are plenty of ways to deal with it.

backyard.
As soon as Bai Luoshuang entered the door, she saw the old lady sitting in a rocking chair under the tree.
"The young lady is back." Hearing the noise, the old lady's maid exclaimed with delight, "Old lady, your beloved granddaughter is back."
"Shuangshuang?"
The old lady slowly turned her head, and when she saw Bai Luoshuang, a bright smile appeared on her face. She waved excitedly at her, "Girl, you're back."
"grandmother."
Bai Luoshuang composed herself, forced a smile, stepped forward, knelt beside the old lady, and took her hand. "I heard you haven't been feeling well lately. Why didn't you send someone to inform me?"
"It's an old problem." The old lady patted Bai Luoshuang's head, her gaze incredibly gentle, though her breathing was unsteady due to her illness: "Why is it just you who came back? Where is your husband?"
“Huai Xu is away on a business trip. I’ll bring him to see you when he gets back.” Bai Luoshuang smiled, trying her best to remain calm.
"Very well." The old lady patted Bai Luoshuang's hand, a gentle smile on her face: "Judging from your great-uncle's appearance, he will definitely treat you well."
He Huaixu visited twice, and each time he behaved very well at her request.
Grandma especially liked him.
"grandmother……"
Bai Luoshuang opened her mouth, her voice choked with sobs.
She had only told her grandmother about her liking for He Huaixu.
Grandma thought she had gotten what she wanted and was living a good life, but...
She fell in love with a man who didn't love her.
"Granny, isn't it time to take your medicine?" Not wanting to continue this topic, Bai Luoshuang looked at the old nanny beside her.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
The old woman quickly brought over the Chinese medicine and winked at Bai Luoshuang, "The old lady disliked the bitterness of the medicine and drank half a bowl this morning."
"You old hag, you actually told on me!" The old lady's face changed and she hurriedly explained, "Shuang'er, don't listen to her nonsense. I've been obediently taking my medicine."
"Is that so?"
Bai Luoshuang couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Grandma, please drink the medicine while it's still warm."
"..."
The old lady glanced at the dark, murky medicine, her resistance visibly evident.
But seeing his granddaughter's serious expression, he obediently picked up the medicine and forced himself to drink it despite feeling unwell.
"Grandma, it's windy right now, let me go inside and take a nap with you."
Bai Luoshuang smiled with satisfaction and helped the old lady to the bedroom.
"Shuang'er, you stay here with Grandma."
The old lady happily lay down and took Bai Luoshuang's hand.
"good."
Bai Luoshuang tucked the old lady in and waited until she was sound asleep before getting up and walking into the courtyard. The smile on her face disappeared: "What did the doctor say about Grandma's illness?"
"You noticed all of this?" The old woman sighed softly, her face filled with sorrow. "The old lady's illness is a chronic condition that will only worsen with age."
“She caught a cold a while ago, and her health deteriorated further. She can only be kept alive with medication,” the nanny continued to explain. “The old lady was afraid you would worry, so she forbade me to tell you. Miss, I’m sorry.”
Of the entire family, only the eldest daughter truly cared for the old lady.
"Granny, thank you for your hard work." Bai Luoshuang pursed her red lips and gently reminded, "Try to let Grandma rest quietly, and especially avoid seeing that mother and daughter."
Grandma was always in a bad mood after seeing them.
“I understand,” the old woman nodded.
The words had barely left his mouth.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Miss, the master is back." The person who came was Bai's father's secretary. "He wants you to go to the lobby."
"Understood." Bai Luoshuang nodded, the warmth in her eyes gone. "I'll be there immediately."
"yes."
After the secretary left, the old woman grabbed Bai Luoshuang's hand and stared at her with a worried expression: "The family's business has been in turmoil lately. Rumor has it that the He family is behind it. The master will probably hold you accountable for this, so you have to be careful."
"Why don't you go back now?"
The gentleman never dared to go after the He family.
"Thank you, Granny." Bai Luoshuang knew perfectly well what was going on, and smiled slightly. "I am a member of the He family, and my father wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Although she was not favored, her status as Mrs. He was indeed useful.
Anyway, we're getting a divorce.
What's wrong with using it?!
——
good evening.
