On the way home, I was very angry.
Bai Yalan actually has such a powerful grandfather. She has never told me about it before. She has hidden it so well.
Lu Qing'er thought about it, but still found it hard to accept.
In the evening, after a busy day, Bai Yalan returned home and lay on the mahogany sofa like a little child.
Seeing her like this, Xiao found it funny. The Bai family was easy-going and would not make a big deal out of anything unless it was a matter of principle.
Seeing my daughter in such a state, I just thought she was tired. I didn't have time to feel sorry for her, let alone blame her.
Mother Bai sat down next to her daughter, touched her head lovingly, rubbed her arm, and chatted with her daughter for no apparent reason.
"By the way, Xiaolan, guess who Mommy is seeing today?"
"Who is it?" Bai Yalan asked nonchalantly.
"It's the girl from the old Lu family," Mother Bai said with a smile. "I haven't seen this girl in a long time. She's grown up to be quite pretty. I didn't expect her to get married so soon. Now she's here with her husband to join the army. Judging by what she's wearing, she must be living a good life. It's not bad for her to be with her husband. At least she has something to look forward to in the future. Oh, I heard her husband is even a deputy battalion commander."
Mother Bai was talking to herself, not noticing the relaxed and comfortable look on Bai Yalan's face, which disappeared in an instant.
She slowly sat up, with a rather unhappy expression on her face.
He just said lightly, "I've met her before."
Seeing his daughter's expression, Mr. Bai quickly asked her with concern, "What's wrong, Xiaolan? Why do you look so strange?"
Grandpa Bai was also surprised: "Girl, are you feeling unwell? Come here and let me feel your pulse."
Only then did Mother Bai realize that something was wrong with her daughter. "What's wrong, Xiaolan? She was fine just now."
Seeing that everyone in the family was worried about her, Bai Yalan quickly smiled and regained her relaxed expression. "I'm fine, don't worry. Grandpa, I can take my own pulse, so why bother you?"
But Mr. Bai wasn't so easily fooled. He nodded, stared into his granddaughter's eyes, and said firmly, "Since it's not a physical problem, then there must be something on his mind."
As for Lu Qing'er, Bai Yalan had never been interested in even mentioning her.
But after listening to what my mother said just now, I realized that my mother still didn't know about the conflict between her and Lu Qing'er. From now on, they will be seen every day. With Lu Qing'er's scheming, there is no guarantee that she will not find a chance to offend my mother.
Bai Yalan was worried that her mother was being tricked, so she spoke with a hint of horror and briefly recounted the incident of Lu Qing'er falling into the water.
Mother Bai was incredulous. "You mean, that girl from the Lu family accidentally fell into the water and blamed it on you?!"
Everyone was shocked. They never thought that such an unpleasant thing would happen between them.
Bai Yalan said helplessly: "That's right! Mom, believe me, I really didn't push her into the water, she was the one who slandered me!"
Mr. Bai was the first to express his belief in her. He knew very well what kind of person his granddaughter was.
The old man's eyes were sharp and his expression was resolute: "Girl, Grandpa believes in you! I, Bai Miaoshou's granddaughter, would never do such a wicked thing."
Father Bai also frowned: "The daughter of the old Lu family had a similar incident when she was little."
He fell down and blamed the neighbor's child, and he refused to give in until he compensated her with a bag of candy.
Of course, he couldn't say anything about the Lu family's family traditions; they were problematic. The children were ignorant, and the adults followed suit. They took advantage of every opportunity, and even when there wasn't, they would still make trouble. They had never properly taught their children how to behave properly.
Such a good girl was raised in a wrong way.
That's why the people in the courtyard always talked about it behind his back, saying that the daughter of their Lu family was not as well educated as the daughter of his Bai family.
Mother Bai probably recalled their childhood memories and was furious. "How could this girl do this? I'm going to find her!"
It was rare for the gentle mother Bai to be so impulsive. She was so angry that she stood up on the spot and was about to rush out to find Lu Qing'er.
Bai Yalan stopped her, "Forget it, Mom. It's been a long time since the incident. We have no evidence, and there's no need to dwell on it. Even if we see her in the future, we should just pretend we don't know her. You guys should be careful too."
"That's right." Father Bai also persuaded his wife, "The daughter of the old Lu family is ignorant. There's no need to argue with her. If there's no need in the future, just ignore her and pretend she doesn't exist."
Mr. Bai also said: "There is really no need to argue with a little girl, Sujuan, let's take a long-term view and look ahead. There is still a long time to go."
The old man has experienced many ups and downs in his life and has seen the treacherous nature of human beings. He doesn't take the little girl's evil tricks seriously.
Moreover, even if you can gain temporary advantages by relying on this kind of cleverness, you will eventually fall one day.
