Xiao Qiangwei tilted her head to look at Qi Shang, and only when his gaze shifted elsewhere did she burst out laughing.
"Was this made especially for me?"
After asking the question, Qi Shang seemed even more uncomfortable.
As a result, she put on the earrings on the spot. Xiao Qiangwei took out her phone to look at them, and then smiled and said:
"You're already in your fifties or sixties, and you still make up so many excuses when you want to give a gift. Alright, you handle today's matter properly. I have an appointment with a friend this afternoon, so I'm leaving now."
Qi Shang wanted to refute, but then thought it was unnecessary, so he just watched Xiao Qiangwei leave.
Seemingly realizing he was being a bit pretentious, Qi Shang smiled slightly.
He designed these earrings himself and found the best craftsmen in the royal family. From the beginning of the design process, he felt that they would definitely suit Xiao Qiangwei.
As expected, my judgment was correct.
That evening, Qi Shang called Han's father and directly pointed out Han Lan's purpose.
Han's father was not surprised at all. On the contrary, they wholeheartedly supported their daughter's strong pursuit of Xiao Yuan.
Qi Shang naturally understood what the other party meant, and with a cold smile, he directly told them that Xiao Yuan could not possibly be interested in Han Lan.
They were also warned that if Han Lan continued to act recklessly, the Bai family might not stand idly by.
You should know that those guys surnamed Bai are very protective of their own.
Knowing his cousin's character, Han's father reluctantly agreed, and that very evening he found Han Lan and had a detailed talk with her.
Han Lan kept her head down the whole time, completely ignoring her father's words.
She always believed that she was Xiao Yuan's ex-girlfriend, and that if she tried harder, Xiao Yuan would definitely change his mind.
But the biggest problem now is that Bai Qingzhi is blocking the way.
Thinking of this, hatred flashed in Han Lan's eyes.
Bai Qingzhi was unaware of everything that was happening on the other side. She had been very happy on set recently, and with Han Lan no longer spreading rumors, her popularity had skyrocketed.
After seeing off another actor who had finished filming, Bai Qingzhi returned to the dressing room and removed the elaborate headdress from her head.
As darkness fell, Bai Qingzhi packed her things, left the filming location, and got into Bai Qingze's car.
Grandma asked them to go back today, I heard there's something to announce.
After driving around for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the Bai family's old residence. As soon as Bai Qingzhi got out of the car, she saw Bai Fan, who had been waiting at the door.
Bai Fan is now more than five months pregnant and is living a happy and fulfilling life with the young master of the family that her mother introduced her to. Her whole face radiates maternal glow.
Upon seeing Bai Qingzhi, Bai Fan hurried over to greet her, and Bai Qingzhi, fearing she might fall, quickly helped her up.
"Why did you come out?" Bai Qingzhi asked, somewhat reproachfully.
It's so dark outside, what if I bump into something?
Bai Fan smiled slightly, then took Bai Qingzhi's hand in return.
The two chatted as they slowly walked towards the house.
Just as he reached the door, Bai Fan suddenly stopped.
"Grandma brought a woman home today, and she... looks a bit like you."
Bai Qingzhi tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"I heard that the announcement is related to this woman, but I don't know the specifics. I'll go in and take a look later."
Once inside the house, Bai Qingzhi finally understood what Bai Fan meant.
Sitting next to Madam Bai was a woman of similar age, and most importantly, the woman looked exactly like Bai Qingzhi!
However, upon closer inspection, her eyes lacked some of their former liveliness.
Their eyes met, and the woman gave a shy smile, somewhat resembling Bai Qingzhi's former personality.
Not only was Bai Qingzhi surprised, but everyone else who came in was also surprised, wondering what Old Madam Bai was up to.
Once everyone had arrived, Old Madam Bai finally spoke:
"Qingzhi, come here."
Bai Qingzhi obediently walked over.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady held Bai Qingzhi's hand with her left hand and the woman's hand with her right.
“I met Xiaodie at the temple. She was homeless and all alone. I felt sorry for her because I saw that she looked somewhat like Qingzhi. I decided to adopt her as my granddaughter. I called you all here today to be witnesses.”
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Bai Qingzhi and continued:
"Grandma went to the temple and got you a bracelet to protect you. It was blessed by a master and is very effective."
Bai Qingzhi smiled and thanked him, which made the old lady even more fond of her.
The old lady no longer owns any shares, so adopting her granddaughter won't have any impact.
After announcing this, everyone began to eat. Bai Qingzhi was really hungry, so she lowered her head and ate without saying a word.
At her age, the old lady's greatest wish was to have many children and grandchildren, and for her daughters and granddaughters to be obedient and filial. So when she saw Bai Qingzhi's trousers, she felt a wave of tenderness in her heart.
"Eat slowly, I'll ask the chef to make more if you're not full." The old lady personally served her some food, smiling kindly.
Xiao Die ate quietly. Bai Fan sat next to her, his eyes darting around as he leaned closer to ask:
Have you had plastic surgery?
Xiaodie was taken aback after hearing this, then shook her head.
"I've been like this since I was a child."
"That's such a coincidence, but it's also fate. Looking at you, it really seems like I'm seeing Qingzhi's sister," Bai Fan said in surprise.
Xiaodie laughed when she heard this.
"I'm only able to get the old lady's attention because of my face; otherwise, I don't know where I would be!"
Everyone enjoyed the meal, and that night they stayed at the old house, leaving one after another the next day.
Bai Qingzhi didn't have any scenes to film today, so she stayed with her grandmother.
It was clear that the old lady was very happy.
Xiaodie took meticulous care of the old lady, even more so than her granddaughter.
"I'm older than you, so can I call you Qingzhi?" Xiaodie asked.
Bai Qingzhi always felt a little awkward looking at this face, but she had a good feeling about Xiao Die and didn't dislike her.
"Where are you from?" Bai Qingzhi knew she wasn't a biological daughter of the Bai family, but looking at this face, she suddenly wondered if it was possible that the other person was actually her relative.
"City A, I guess. I've lived in City A since I can remember," Xiaodie replied with a smile.
Her hands were calloused, which must be from working odd jobs.
Bai Qingzhi didn't ask about the other party's parents, after all, that would be like reopening old wounds.
The two chatted for a while longer until it was past three in the afternoon. Xiaodie glanced at the time and hurriedly got up.
"My part-time job is going to be late. Let's talk later when we have time," Xiaodie said, then rushed to the door to get dressed.
Bai Qingzhi raised an eyebrow in surprise. She actually had to do part-time work?
"Although Grandma adopted me, I can't just sit back and enjoy the benefits, can I?" Xiaodie said with a sly wink, seemingly seeing through Bai Qingzhi's thoughts.
Bai Qingzhi chuckled, and after exchanging glances, the two felt their relationship had grown much closer.
Around 4 PM, Bai Qingzhi said goodbye to the old lady, as she had a performance the next morning and needed to rush back.
