"Little Ruo, what's wrong with you... Do you hate Grandma? Today is Grandma's birthday, and Grandma has been looking forward to seeing you for so long..." Lin Suqing's eyes reddened and her voice choked when she saw Bai Xiaoruo being so "warned". The little Ruo in the past was the most obedient and soft-hearted. How come it is so difficult to get her to have a meal with her now?
“No, I don’t hate Grandma, but…” Bai Xiaoruo blurted out her true feelings, “I’m no longer a member of the Xian family, and Grandpa… doesn’t want me to come here anymore. So, Grandma, I’m really sorry.” Her hesitant appearance made Lin Suqing even sadder. She leaned against Xian Zhengsen’s chest, wiping away her tears, reminiscing about the little Xiaoruo from before.
They couldn't force the girl to do it if she didn't want to.
Why did things turn out this way? They're treated like enemies, and they're not even allowed to see each other.
Bai Xiaoruo was also helpless, but she really didn't want to stay. She didn't want to have any more entanglements with Xian Mingyu or the Xian family.
All I can say is, I'm sorry.
She turned to leave, her bodyguards standing protectively beside her, when suddenly—
Xuan Mingyu strode forward and quickly knocked down all three of her bodyguards. He then grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at her bodyguards on the ground. They were in so much pain that they couldn't even stand up, but they were terrified. This guy was so powerful, why did he need to bring bodyguards when he went out? The thing is, he always brought a whole bunch of them!
Her hand was gripped tightly, and she couldn't pull it free. Bai Xiaoruo was a little annoyed. "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
"Stay."
"Huh?" Bai Xiaoruo was stunned. What did he say?
"Didn't you see how heartbroken Grandma is? Today is her birthday, and she's been waiting for you all this time, even refusing to eat. Bai Xiaoruo, how can you be so heartless as to watch an elderly woman cry like this and then walk away so easily!" He would never allow anyone to hurt his family! Not even Bai Xiaoruo!
If she doesn't stay and have this meal with her grandma today, he'll tie her up and keep her here!
What is the small Feng family? Up until now, if it weren't for Bai Xiaoruo's sake, Xuan Mingyu wouldn't even give her maternal grandfather that much respect!
Do you really think that Xian Mingyu is such a soft persimmon that you can be bullied and trampled on at will?
Killing her, killing the entire Feng family, is easier than crushing an ant.
If she hadn't always relied on his love and pity for her, would she have been so arrogant to this day?
"I..." Bai Xiaoruo really couldn't say anything more; she didn't want to upset her grandmother.
"Mingyu, if Xiaoruo doesn't want to go, just let her go. Don't force her." Lin Suqing wiped away her tears and told Xian Mingyu to let go.
Even if Bai Xiaoruo were forced to stay, she was already unhappy, so how could she possibly enjoy the meal?
It was indeed the Xian family who wronged her back then. They, as her elders, also bear responsibility for her divorce from Xian Mingyu.
People who are forced together are destined for this kind of ending.
Bai Xiaoruo knew that her grandfather was urging her to go back home. Her phone was ringing in her bag.
But seeing her grandmother so heartbroken, she couldn't bear it.
Grandma is so old, and she's been eagerly waiting for me to come. She hasn't had dinner yet, and everyone is keeping her company on an empty stomach.
Looking back, my grandparents treated me so well, how could I be so cold and heartless?
It's just a meal, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"Grandma, I promise to stay, but after having dinner with you, I really have to go back."
“Little Ruo, you don’t have to force yourself. If you really don’t want to stay here, Grandma won’t blame you.” Lin Suqing shook her head. She didn’t want Bai Xiaoruo to be forced to stay.
"No, Grandma, I'm not forcing myself. I really want to have this meal with you." Bai Xiaoruo glanced at the three bodyguards on the ground. "You can all go back first. I'll let you know later. I'll talk to Grandpa. He won't make things difficult for you."
"But..." The bodyguards hesitated. The master had repeatedly instructed them to protect Bai Xiaoruo, but they had been easily defeated one by one.
"Go back, I'm fine."
"yes."
Bai Xiaoruo looked at Xuan Mingyu's hand, which was still tightly gripping her wrist, with a hint of reproach. "You can let go now, right? I've already agreed to stay and have dinner with Grandma. Or do you want to hit me too?"
Xuan Mingyu snorted coldly, let go of her hand, and turned to walk upstairs. With her here, he simply couldn't eat his meal!
"That brat! We've really spoiled him rotten!" Xian Zhengsen was furious.
Let him go if he wants; I can't be bothered with him.
Bai Xiaoruo took Lin Suqing's arm and they entered the banquet hall together, where the birthday dinner officially began.
Bai Xiaoruo had already eaten dinner at home and didn't have much of an appetite. She only drank a cup of coconut milk and sat quietly between Lin Suqing and Fang Peiru, not saying much.
After the banquet ended, Xian Mingyu did not come downstairs.
When cutting the cake, Bai Xiaoruo only took a small piece to fill her stomach, and she was already full.
Just as she was about to say goodbye to Lin Suqing and go back, a torrential downpour suddenly began outside. The rain came down so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard.
