Chapter 199 The Real and Fake Heiresses Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 11) White...
After greeting everyone with a smile, Bai Tiantian glared at Bai Yueyue and said, "Didn't I tell you to focus on your studies and not play games? Explain to me why you know so much about a new character that's only been out for three days!!"
Hearing Bai Tiantian's words, Bai Yueyue, who was just about to slip away, turned her head and stammered, "Sister, I was wrong."
Everyone was initially confused about what he was feeling guilty about, but then they realized that there had been no argument or foul language at all. He was just a little guy who was secretly playing games while studying and was afraid of being caught by his older sister.
The people present today have already witnessed several major scandals and are quite used to them. They are too lazy to even mention such trivial matters during their leisure time. However, their perception of Bai Yueyue has changed from the street thugs they had heard about to a somewhat playful child.
Song Wenjing went over to greet Bai Tiantian, hoping to get closer to him for future actions and also to test whether the system knew he was a competitor.
Although the Song family was considered wealthy, they were still far behind the Bai family. Today, Bai Yichen invited quite a few people to show his seriousness.
Bai Yichen is currently leading his two sisters to greet people one by one. Song Wenjing is not in charge, and as a recent high school graduate, he really can't get close enough to join the conversation.
Bai Yichen nodded in satisfaction as he watched his two younger sisters getting along harmoniously. In novels, those real and fake heiresses fight over houses, clothes, and jewelry, but that's only because they're not rich enough.
Just like the villa where his family usually lives, there are seven or eight rooms on the second floor. There is a bedroom for each of his two younger sisters, a study, and a walk-in closet, and there is still plenty of room.
There are more clothes and jewelry than you can ever wear or carry. If you like something, just buy two. There's no need to argue about it.
As for competing for things other than material possessions, things like parental love and attention are even more bizarre. Can't they just spoil both daughters? Are families with two daughters simply unable to live?!
Bai Yichen thought to himself, but on the surface he still maintained his aloof and domineering CEO image. However, anyone could see that he loved both of his younger sisters very much.
The banquet came to a perfect end. Bai's parents and Bai Yichen proved with their actions that they loved their two daughters very much. Naturally, there would be no brainless young master or young lady who would go up to the sisters and make sarcastic remarks.
As for the task that garnered the most votes in the poll initiated by Song Wenjing—revealing the truth about the fake heiress at the banquet—he essentially won without lifting a finger.
He earned a total of 500 points from the banquet. If we ignore the audience's satisfaction, he was actually quite successful.
Because of the inexplicable confidence induced by the audience, Song Wenjing felt that he had almost secured a win in this PK, and there was no pressure in the subsequent live broadcasts.
As for continuing to stream, besides the fixed daily time allotted as a transmigration streamer, it's also important to maintain audience goodwill and earn some points along the way.
Lin You followed the two sisters back to the villa. Bai Yueyue, because she was secretly playing games, was sent to a closed, military-style tutoring center with no internet access, at Lin You's suggestion.
In response, Bai Tiantian made a special promise that as long as Bai Yueyue studied hard, when school started again, the Bai family driver would pick him up and drop him off at school every day, which would be perfect for him to show off.
Which immature teenager could resist such a temptation? He agreed on a whim, though Bai Yueyue regretted it the very next day.
However, he also knew very well that whether he agreed or not back then, it wouldn't have had much impact on how things would have turned out. He would either have been coaxed into coming in by his sister like he is now, or he would have been beaten up by his sister and then come crying to her.
At least this time his sister was quite good-tempered and willing to coax him.
Bai Yueyue dragged her heavy steps and continued running laps to the instructor's commands, comforting herself as she ran, "This is good, at least I'm avoiding a beating."
Bai Yueyue was unaware that, in order to prevent him from going astray again, Bai Tiantian had originally planned to arrange for a driver to pick him up and drop him off at high school.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, the Bai family arranged for her to have a personal assistant, a driver, and a bodyguard. The salaries were all provided by the Bai family, and she was in charge of all their duties.
Of course, Bai Zhiyao wasn't jealous, because she received the same treatment. Her father had transferred the villa next to her sister's house to his own name, saying it was a gift for her coming of age.
She knew that her parents, who had raised her, were worried that she wouldn't feel secure. With this villa, no matter what happened in the future, she would have a home of her own, and she would feel more at ease.
After her identity was revealed, although Bai Tiantian was a really good older sister and her parents' and brother's love for her had not changed, Bai Zhiyao was still somewhat apprehensive because she no longer had a blood relationship with her. This was the comfort and security that her parents gave her.
The older brother was very generous, giving each of them a car as a gift. As for other things, he said he didn't understand the tastes of young girls these days, so he gave each of them a large red envelope as initial funds for college students, and they could buy whatever they wanted.
Moreover, his allowance will be doubled, and his living expenses will be calculated separately. I must say, this act of throwing money around has a bit of a domineering CEO feel to it.
I wonder if her brother will find them a girlfriend with a "coffee-splashing, document-dropping, and late-to-work" buff in the future.
After listening to her complaints, Bai Tiantian ate some snacks that Lin Youxian had made out of boredom while analyzing, "Although our brother is also a domineering CEO, he is very experienced. According to what you said, he has read at least eight hundred or a thousand CEO novels, so he definitely wouldn't be interested in naive and innocent characters. This is called aesthetic fatigue."
Lin You had recently been reading a lot of novels with Bai Zhiyao, most of which she had stolen from Bai Yichen's study. Hearing Bai Tiantian's words, she chimed in with a few comments:
"The domineering CEOs in novels are quite unlucky. Any beautiful woman who is rich, capable, resourceful, and devoted to the male lead is always the villainous female supporting character. Only the pure, innocent, kind, and lively female lead is worthy of the domineering CEO's favor."
"Maybe she finds working in a company too mentally taxing, so she wants to find someone simple-minded so that she and her husband don't have to scheme against each other at home?" Bai Zhiyao chimed in, joining in the fun.
"To put it bluntly, it's just about finding an easy fool to be fooled," Bai Tiantian casually remarked, then started urging the other two who were slacking off to study hard.
Bai Zhiyao obediently went to study. Once a person seriously learns something, they learn much faster than when they are just muddling through.
Her calligraphy has improved a lot, and she has started to learn to draw talismans. What she is copying now is the most basic peace talisman drawn by Lin You.
Lin You was a bit slow. She already knew how to cultivate immortality, so why bother learning medical skills? If she encountered a problem, she could just use a Rejuvenation Pill or a Disease-Expelling Talisman and it would be fine.
Bai Tiantian glanced at Bai Zhiyao, who was studying hard, and smiled at Lin You without saying a word. The child is working so hard, so as the older sister, you should set a good example.
Lin You: ………
Alright, it's always good to have more skills. Anyway, her soul strength is very high now, and her learning efficiency has improved a lot. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she has a photographic memory. It's just a medical book that's as thick as a brick. Let her learn it. Who isn't a top student?
The three high school graduates studying together created quite a lively atmosphere. When Bai's mother came to deliver the meal, this was the scene she saw, and she couldn't help but show a loving smile.
Because Bai Zhiyao preferred to live with Bai Tiantian, she didn't return to her own villa but instead brought her parents, who lived in a dilapidated old house in the suburbs, to live with her.
Although they didn't spend much time together, and her parents were somewhat reserved when they met her, Bai Zhiyao could tell that they still cared about her.
The way they showed their concern was very simple and unpretentious: they paid attention to her and her sister's academic performance and reminded them to eat less cold drinks.
According to her sister, in the summer, they should eat less cold drinks, but when winter comes, she will remind them to wear long underwear.
Because Bai's mother suffered from cold when she was young, she endured a lot of pain during childbirth, and her current poor health is a result of those past illnesses.
Therefore, she paid special attention to keeping her two daughters warm. Not only did she remind them, but she would also stew a warm and nourishing sweet soup from time to time. The ingredients she used were not expensive, but the cooking time was just right and the taste was good. Not only the two Bai sisters, but even Lin You liked to drink it.
Although she doesn't need to take care of her health, she has a sweet tooth, and things made with care always taste different. Just like those expensive beef buns you eat outside that cost two dollars each can't compare to the ones your mom makes at home.
Bai Tiantian and Bai Zhiyao also loved to drink it. Watching the three delicate and soft girls huddle together, each holding a bowl, drinking sweet soup and chatting quietly, Bai's mother felt genuinely happy.
Ever since she was taken away by Bai Tian, she has been on tenterhooks. On one hand, she worries that her daughter, whom she has raised for eighteen years, will hate her for being switched at birth and causing her so much suffering. On the other hand, she worries that her biological daughter will look down on her poor biological parents and will not consider acknowledging them.
She was even worried that her two daughters would fight. She had seen TV dramas before, and she had witnessed the plot of the real and fake heiresses several times.
Fortunately, heaven took pity on her; both of her daughters were good children, and the two sisters had a very harmonious relationship. If you looked closely, you could even see a resemblance to the way Tian Tian and Yue Yue spent time together.
Lin You's public identity is that of Bai Tiantian and Bai Zhiyao's classmate. She lives in the villa behind the house, and her parents are deceased. She lives alone and likes to come here to freeload meals and join in the fun.
The villa was the address Lin You filled in when setting up her ID card information. The house is now indeed in her name, and her information has become that of the two sisters' classmate.
Bai's mother was very welcoming to Lin You's visit for a meal. With her two daughters' identities suddenly changed, there was bound to be some awkwardness when they were together. However, with a familiar friend mediating between them, many things went much more smoothly.
Some novels like to depict poor families as having a bunch of bad habits, unable to integrate into the lives of the rich, and that every move they make is full of poverty and squalor—that's all nonsense.
Even a poor person can look beautiful when dressed in fine clothes and wearing precious jewelry, and can feel happy and joyful when eating delicious food and living in a spacious and bright house.
As for things I've never seen before, or banquets I've never attended, I'll get used to them after a few more encounters.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai don't need to socialize. They are fine with normal social interactions and conversations. Plus, with the Bai family around, they have gotten along well with the neighbors since they moved here.
Mr. Bai was a veteran technician in a factory. Because he wasn't very cunning or scheming, he only managed to become a team leader after most of his life. His salary was considered above average, but he was the sole breadwinner for his family of four, including two students and a sick person. They were indeed struggling financially.
Later, when her daughter grew up, she found ways to do part-time jobs, tutoring her classmates to earn money to help support the family, which improved their living conditions.
I thought I could just retire and enjoy the comforts of my children's lives, and that would be a fulfilling life. But I never expected to encounter something like this just as my life was coming to an end.
Both daughters are good, and his younger brother from the Bai family, who shares the same name as him, is also very loyal. I don't know who he talked to, but his promotion, which had been stalled for almost ten years, was completed in just three days.
Now he's a supervisor, his salary has doubled, he doesn't have to do any work, his working hours are much more flexible, he doesn't have to work overtime, and if there's nothing to do, no one will say anything if he leaves a little early.
What Bai's dad likes most now is to go there every day with his thermos to clock in, take a stroll around the old production line, give some pointers to the new employees, and chat and boast with the other supervisors.
Based on his skills and seniority, Bai Ba should have been promoted long ago. However, the workplace is never a place where reason prevails. Without cunning and shrewdness, one can only wait idly.
Honest and simple-minded Mr. Bai waited patiently for ten years before finally becoming the manager he had always dreamed of. It was a life of unbridled joy, like being an emperor. Fortunately, he still had more than ten years until retirement, enough time for him to enjoy it to the fullest.
Bai Ma's illness is that she cannot overwork herself or be exposed to cold. She feels uncomfortable whenever the seasons change, or when it is hot or cold. She also gets sick when she is frightened or upset, but it is not a serious illness.
In summary, it's a "rich man's disease"—the inability to work, to exert oneself, to be mentally exhausted, and to be pampered with good food and drink. This is indeed quite a burden for a family with only one able-bodied person supporting two children.
Now they don't have to worry about money anymore. They don't have to worry about their daughter's tuition and living expenses for college, their son is well taken care of, and Bai's father's salary has doubled. Bai's mother even has the illusion that she has more money than she can spend.
