There are many people and many eyes around here; if anything truly important happens, it will definitely get out.
The mother and daughter entered the house. Bai Fan carefully closed the door tightly, then looked at his mother seriously and said:
"Mom, it's not an accident that you haven't been able to conceive your brother yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Fan's mother jumped up from her chair, then opened her eyes wide and questioned sharply:
"What did you say? What do you mean? What do you mean it wasn't an accident?"
Bai Fan stepped forward and supported his mother's arm, while patting her back repeatedly with his other hand.
"My second uncle came today, and I overheard his conversation with my father."
Bai Fan's mother naturally knew why Bai Lao Er had come today, but what did that have to do with her pregnancy?
“I heard my second uncle suggest that Dad find another woman, saying that such a large family business could not be left to his daughter. He also said that since you can’t have any more children, you should bring in someone who can. Dad neither agreed nor refused.” Bai Fan said all this in one breath.
Upon hearing this, Bai Fan's mother instantly lost her temper and got up to go out and question Bai Laosan, but Bai Fan pulled her back.
"Mom! There's still room for maneuver in this matter. If you really start a fight with Dad, you'll be pushing him away!"
Bai Fan's mother wasn't stupid to begin with, and upon hearing this, she calmed down and pressed on with a gloomy face:
"So what did you mean by what you just said? What did you mean by 'was it an accident'?"
Bai Fan lowered his head, a strange light flashing in his eyes, and then answered in an even softer voice:
“Bai Qingzhi came to see me yesterday. Besides what she said, she also told me something else. She said that the reason you haven’t been able to get pregnant all these years is because of your second aunt.”
Bai Qingzhi certainly didn't say that, but Bai Fan pulled her out precisely to prevent Bai Fan's mother from confronting him.
“My second aunt was afraid that if we had a boy, he would take away her family’s shares, so she had the doctor give you medication after you gave birth to me. Over the years, it has become a habit that cannot be changed.”
Bai Fan's mother was stunned, but seemed not to believe it at all.
"Mom, if you don't believe me, you can go and check it out, but don't go to the Bai family's hospital," Bai Fan continued.
Bai Fan's mother's breathing quickened, and her emotions were clearly fluctuating greatly. It took her a long time to calm down before she looked at Bai Fan coldly.
"Whether this is true or not, you should keep your mouth shut."
Bai Fan nodded obediently. Bai Fan's mother gave her one last look, then picked up her bag and walked out with a gloomy face.
When Bai Fan's mother returned that afternoon, she went straight into the bedroom and didn't even answer when Bai Lao San spoke to her.
When she came out that evening, her emotions were unreadable. Bai Fan sat in the restaurant without saying a word, as if nothing had happened that day.
Meanwhile, Bai Lao Er has already clashed with Bai's father, and at today's shareholders' meeting, Bai Lao Er clearly expressed his different opinions from Bai's father.
And it is based on sound reasoning and evidence.
There were seven shareholders in total, and four of them immediately stood with Bai Lao Er. Bai Lao Yezi later personally stepped in to support his second son.
Mr. Bai seemed unmoved by the situation, which made Mr. Bai extremely smug.
In his mind, Bai's father was already at his limit, while his side was gaining momentum, and his defeat was already inevitable.
But the old man thought differently. Bai's father had been operating in City A for so many years, and the forces behind him were deeply entrenched. He certainly wouldn't be so powerless to resist.
Therefore, the old man was extremely vigilant.
As night fell, the old man called his second son to his side and said with a serious expression:
"Although your older brother is currently indifferent, you can't let your guard down. There are only a few days left, so don't cause any trouble and keep your distance from them."
Bai Lao Er naturally nodded in agreement. Although he was somewhat foolish, he still took his father's suggestion to heart.
At the same time, he was thinking about going back and telling his wife and daughter to behave themselves and not cause any trouble lately.
But before he could even speak, Bai Lian had already run into Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Lian was already full of jealousy towards Bai Qingzhi. Why should an adopted daughter enjoy the same treatment as the biological daughter of the Bai family? Most importantly, even her status was not as high as Bai Qingzhi's!
When her grandparents came back this time and clearly expressed their desire to support her father, Bai Lian suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if the anger that had been weighing on her heart for so many years had finally dissipated.
The thought of becoming the most esteemed little princess of the Bai family made Bai Lian so happy she could laugh in her dreams.
So when I saw Bai Qingzhi by chance today, a wicked thought immediately arose in my mind.
"Isn't this my cousin? What's she doing in a place like this?" Bai Lian said arrogantly, looking at the scenery around her that was clearly out of place with her status.
After listening to the speech today, Bai Qingzhi was taken back to the company by Xiao Yuan. After sitting there for a while, she felt bored and decided to find Nuan Nuan to chat with. So she simply waited for Nuan Nuan next to the shop where she worked.
But I never expected to meet Bai Lian here.
She was accompanied by several young followers, dressed in fancy clothes, who seemed to be going out for fun.
Bai Lian had unintentionally told her follower about her family's affairs and had expressed her dislike for Bai Qingzhi.
So now, when this group of people see Bai Qingzhi, it's like flies seeing blood; they're practically practically red-eyed.
As Bai Lian uttered her sarcastic words, the others, not wanting to be outdone, hurriedly spoke up to show off their abilities.
Bai Qingzhi glanced coldly at these people, then smiled disdainfully and said:
"You really are my good sister, and a good daughter of the Bai family! How could you collude with outsiders to humiliate your own sister like this, completely trampling the Bai family's reputation into the ground."
In families like theirs, it's natural that everyone shares the same fate, whether it's prosperity or ruin; this is an unspoken understanding among everyone.
Bai Lian paused for a moment after hearing this, and then spoke even more vehemently.
It was getting late, so there weren't many people around. Just as Bai Lian was unleashing her furious attacks on Bai Qingzhi, two people entered through the door.
Both men were wearing hats and carrying black bags, walking hurriedly and trying to conceal their presence.
Bai Qingzhi noticed it immediately, lowered her eyes, and when she raised her head again, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Sister, I know you've never liked me, but you can't insult my parents like that! They're your own uncles!"
Bai Lian was clearly taken aback. She had said so much that she forgot whether she had spoken ill of her father and mother.
But it didn't matter anymore. Seeing Bai Qingzhi crying made Bai Lian even happier, and she even stretched out her hand to point at Bai Qingzhi.
This time, the words he uttered were even more vicious.
Actually, their voices weren't loud, but the two people who came in sat right next to their table, so they could hear them clearly.
Bai Qingzhi cried even more bitterly, but she still argued her case, subtly reminding Bai Lian to pay attention to the feelings between family members.
They also stated that their family was fully aware of what the women were doing, but they turned a blind eye out of consideration for family ties.
Bai Lian remained unmoved, arrogantly leading her little followers, almost ready to lay a hand on him.
