The two exchanged a glance, and although they didn't speak, their displeasure was almost palpable.
Bai Lian's mother gave Bai Lian a look, and Bai Lian immediately understood, saying:
"Qingzhi, we can't be too picky. What kind of person will we end up with if we keep picking and choosing? The ones who are too picky won't want us, and the ones who are too picky won't want us, right?"
The implication is that Bai Qingzhi's identity is awkward, and finding her cousin is a blessing.
Unexpectedly, her words directly triggered Bai's mother, who immediately replied in a cold voice:
"The person I found is definitely better than you! My daughter is none of your business to point fingers at. Get out of here!"
They didn't save him any face at all.
Bai Lian was startled. Just as Bai Lian's mother was about to speak, Bai's mother continued her barrage:
"Like mother, like daughter. You're not welcome in my house anymore. Show yourselves out!"
Bai's father was also angered by Bai Lian's words, and looked at his younger brother, saying:
"It is the father's fault if the son is not taught properly. Second brother, you should go back and discipline your own children properly. You don't need to participate in the recent general manager election. You are not qualified."
It wasn't until the three of them stood in front of the Bai family's gate and watched it close that they realized that Bai's father had actually abandoned all pretense of respectability.
"What nonsense! Once I get my hands on Dad's shares, let's see how arrogant he can still be!" the second son of the Bai family said angrily.
Grandpa Bai is currently recuperating abroad, and his mother is taking care of him.
After the surrogacy was completed, Grandpa Bai brought the children back to the Bai family, but later, the second son's biological mother bribed the doctor to find the child's father's information.
She was adaptable and willingly became a concubine, following Old Master Bai without complaint. More than twenty years later, Old Master Bai softened and kept her by his side.
In addition, Madam Bai had a strong personality, and the two often quarreled when they were together. Over time, Grandpa Bai stopped coming back so often.
Now, news has come from his mother that the old man's health has been gradually declining recently, and he is already thinking about the issue of the shares he holds.
At the same time, their mother also told them to be careful with their words and actions recently. She said that if she whispered something in their ear, the majority of the shares would most likely end up in their hands.
Seemingly imagining his future arrogant life, the second son of the Bai family spat viciously at the door and left with his daughter and wife.
The servant naturally relayed his words back. Bai's father remained silent, but Bai Qingzhi stepped forward and spoke earnestly:
"Grandpa is not someone who can't distinguish right from wrong."
The old man was wise and capable throughout his life; he would never do anything detrimental to the Bai family.
Mr. Bai patted his daughter's head and smiled with satisfaction.
Still resentful about what had just happened, Bai's mother grabbed Bai Qingzhi's hand and said in a fit of anger:
"Qingzhi, you don't need to spoil them anymore. Mom will take care of you if anything happens!"
Mr. Bai was already used to his wife's fiery temper. He pulled Mrs. Bai upstairs, talking as they walked:
"Don't you dare corrupt your good daughter!"
Bai Qingzhi smiled helplessly. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. Everyone saw that it was a message from Liu Chenghan.
Invite her to a party tomorrow.
Bai Qingzhi thought for a while and then politely declined. Although she had a good impression of Liu Chenghan, parties were a private matter, and they weren't that close yet.
Liu Chenghan was not surprised. Looking out the window, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Meanwhile, Bai Qinghuan encountered some trouble. Her junior brother was trapped in the enemy's trap, and she needed to find a way to rescue him.
Before she could even set off, Gu Ting suddenly appeared and then presented his own plan, which was even more detailed and secure than hers.
Gu Ting is a year younger than her, and she has always treated him like a younger brother. In fact, Bai Qinghuan knows that Gu Ting has feelings for her, but she only thinks it is just a child's passing interest.
"I've said it before, in your world, only I can stand with you." Gu Ting finished dressing, his eyes full of determination.
To be honest, Gu Ting really surprised Bai Qinghuan today; she didn't even know he was in the same industry!
There wasn't much time to argue, and the two gradually disappeared into the night...
Xiao Yuan received a call from his mother while he was at the company, demanding that he come home for dinner no matter what.
Xiao Yuan wanted to refuse, but his mother pretended to cry, so he had no choice but to rush back to see her.
He could guess why Xiao's mother did this without him even having to say it. There were always two or three times a month when Xiao's mother would pull this stunt, the reason being to introduce girlfriends to her family.
He had no idea where his mother had found those women.
Frustrated, Xiao Yuan scratched his head and decided to go back and tell his mother that he had someone he liked.
Xiao's mother is very straightforward. He was afraid that if he said it, he would give himself away. What if she made it too obvious in front of Zhizhi and scared her?
The car was moving smoothly, and the old butler personally opened the door for him. Xiao Yuan asked:
Whose is it this time?
"The Bai family." The old steward was equally helpless. The madam was now so desperate for her daughter-in-law that she didn't care if Xiao Yuan was with a woman, even if she was an older sister.
Hearing Bai Jiaxiao Yuan's footsteps pause, he desperately hoped that it was Bai Qingzhi inside, but even a fool could tell that it was impossible.
Zhizhi's family protects her so much, how could they allow her to go on blind dates?
Sure enough, when I entered the room, the woman sitting obediently on the sofa looked nothing like Zhizhi. Although I had guessed it, I was still a little disappointed.
"Son, please sit down. This is Bai Fan, the daughter of General Bai San." Mother Xiao waved to Xiao Yuan with a radiant smile.
Bai Fan sat there feeling a little awkward. If her father hadn't insisted, she wouldn't have wanted to come at all.
"President Xiao," Bai Fan stood up and greeted him.
Xiao Yuan nodded aloofly, then sat down opposite his mother, looking intently into her eyes and saying:
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
Xiao's mother waved her hand, thinking that Xiao Yuan was going to say, as always, that he didn't want to get married for the time being.
"This time, I have something different to say!" Xiao Yuan sighed and continued.
Xiao's mother glanced at her eldest son, then at Bai Fan, and finally the two of them went upstairs.
"Mom, I have a girl I like, so please don't introduce me to anyone else." Xiao Yuan was afraid his mother wouldn't believe him, so he directly pulled up Bai Qingzhi's photos. Most of them were taken secretly, and the most normal one was Bai Qingzhi's ID photo from her university registration.
Almost at first sight, Xiao's mother took a liking to the girl, smiling foolishly as she held her phone and then shared the photo with herself without saying a word.
“She’s also from the Bai family, but she was switched at birth. She’s very timid, and I don’t dare to confess my feelings yet.” Xiao Yuan’s eyes were full of love as he said this.
After watching for a while, Xiao's mother rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuan.
"What a waste. A twenty-six-year-old man who doesn't even dare to express his feelings. Let me tell you, I like this girl. You should hurry up and marry her."
"You don't mind her identity?" Xiao Yuan asked in return.
Unexpectedly, this earned him an even bigger eye roll from Xiao's mother, who even slapped him.
"Am I that kind of person?"
Xiao Yuan was completely relieved; this was the best possible outcome, although he had already considered how to deal with his mother if she objected.
