Chapter 101 Chapter 101 (Two in One) I put your father...
Now the people who were stunned were Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting.
Ao Xinyi frowned, subconsciously put his hand on Bai Mu Ning, his eyes were alert, and he maintained a gentle and decent face and asked Nie Wanqing:
"Aren't you going to bring Ningning home after her birthday? As I said before, Ningning will spend her last birthday at the Bai family."
Nie Wanqing had no time to cry anymore, her eyes fell on Ao Xinyi's right hand which was resting on her daughter's arm.
The action of doing so was so natural, as if he had done it thousands of times before. Ao Xinyi's slender hands were dazzlingly white under the sunlight.
Nie Wanqing's red eyes turned cold, and she pursed her thin lips, feeling unhappy: "There must be some misunderstanding in the communication. Brother Jin and I came here today to bring our biological daughter home."
She emphasized the words "biological daughter".
"Xinyi, you are also a mother, you must understand how we parents feel. We can't wait even a moment. Ningning's birthday must be celebrated in our Jiang family.
If I hadn’t respected Ningning’s wishes, she said she wanted to say goodbye to you guys properly on her birthday, and Brother Jin and I would have come to take her home two days ago.”
Ao Xinyi frowned a little more, and after hearing what Nie Wanqing meant, he thought quickly: Has Mu Ning already contacted the Jiang family?
Was it that when the third brother first found the Jiang family, Mu Ning had already started interacting with them?
But the brother and sister didn't say anything to her? Didn't tell her family a word?
She originally thought that Mu Ning was just an insider and didn't have much contact with the Jiang family...
Ao Xinyi suddenly felt sad.
She didn't know why Mu Ning didn't tell her, but Nie Wanqing was her biological mother. The biological parents wanted to take the child home, and she, as the only one who raised her, had no reason to stop them as a non-blood mother.
If he went back to the Jiang family on his birthday, it was Mu Ning's own wish.
Then she...wasn't willing to stay.
As Ao Xinyi was thinking about it, he felt disappointed.
The Bai and Ao families gathered not far behind them and heard Nie Wanqing's weak but firm voice clearly. For a moment, they had different expressions on their faces, whispered to each other, and quietly moved closer.
Bai Qingqing was somewhat blocked by the huge crowd of relatives, so she stepped forward with the cup of sparkling water in her hand.
She tucked her hair, which was blown by the wind, behind her ears and stood sideways towards Ao Xinyi, Bai Mu Ning and the others, trying to hear more clearly.
The whistling wind blew the collars and skirts of several people present, and the waves fluttered in the wind, like restless hearts.
Ao Xinyi was waiting for Bai Muning to speak.
The parents on both sides and the four sons of the Bai family also turned their eyes to Bai Muning, as if waiting for her to make a decision.
Bai Muning looked at Bai Siqi timidly and helplessly, then looked at the other brothers, and quickly retracted his gaze. He said to Ao Xinyi as if he was mustering up his courage: "It's my decision."
She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, silently expressing her pain and reluctance.
When he opened his eyes again, Bai Muning's tear-soaked eyelashes trembled, and his gaze pierced through the crowd and shot straight at Bai Qingqing, who was dozens of steps away from her, attracting everyone's attention.
Nie Wanqing and Jiang Jin felt sorry for their daughter crying, and looked into the distance in confusion following her gaze.
A slender figure stood at the edge of the crowd, wearing a long dress inlaid with silver diamonds. Her wheat-colored skin looked particularly vibrant under the silver light.
When Nie Wanqing was watching Mu Ning's variety show, she took a close look at this girl. She remembered that her name was Bai Qingqing, and she was a Feng Shui master. She was very different from their daughter. When she stood next to Mu Ning, the two people had completely different looks and temperaments.
He is decisive and efficient in his actions, and is not one to suffer any loss. He would beat his own brother without mercy, and was not very polite to Mu Ning either.
When she saw her daughter looking at her, she became a little defensive.
"Dad, Mom," Bai Muning looked at Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting with tears in her eyes, crying hoarsely, "Ever since I found out that I'm not your biological daughter, I've always felt bad..."
"I feel guilty. I knew I was not your biological child, but I still took the place of your daughter and sister."
As soon as she said this, Nie Wanqing clenched her hands under her sleeves. Jiang Jin couldn't bear it and held his wife's thin shoulders.
Ao Xinyi, Bai Shuting and others felt a pain in their hearts.
Their little princess, who was pampered and brought up in the palm of her hand, has always been proud. When had she ever said such words?
After Qingqing returned home, Mu Ning was emotionally unstable for a while, but then gradually stabilized. She was seen talking and laughing with her family members normally, and her daily interactions were still the same as before. No one knew that she was in such a tormenting mood.
After all, he is the child that was taken care of and raised by me.
Ao Xinyi softened his heart and put aside the anger and jealousy that had just arisen in his heart.
She stepped forward and held her hand: "Ningning, there is no such thing as taking up a place or not, you are the child I raised by myself, you are my daughter.
Qingqing, come home. Mom has a new daughter and you have a new sister. You don't need to feel guilty. I am the one who is sorry for Qingqing. It is mom and dad who didn't take good care of her. It has nothing to do with you..."
Ao Xinyi felt sad as he spoke, scenes of his time with Mu Ning flashed through his mind, and he couldn't stop crying.
Bai Muning quietly looked at the top of Ao Xinyi's head.
The value of 86 rose back up and reached 91 when she was sad and crying.
In addition, the expressions of several brothers of the Bai family also seemed moved, and they all seemed to want to comfort her.
Someone in the group of relatives behind me said, "Child, your parents love you so much, don't let your imagination run wild!"
"Yeah yeah."
Bai Muning secretly breathed a sigh of relief at Ao Xinyi's favorability.
She didn't care about other people. Now the main focus was Ao Xinyi. Her favorability level fluctuated too much, and she was really afraid that she would accidentally say something that would irritate her.
According to the development of the first time, Ao Xinyi's favorability, which was originally 96, will reach 100 today when she leaves to return to the Jiang family.
It now seems that although there were some minor twists and turns in the middle, the final result should be fine.
E01 had been holding it in for a long time. She had wanted to speak happily since Ao Xinyi's favorability increased. Now that she detected that Bai Muning was in a good mood, she immediately excitedly set off fireworks in her mind.
Bai Muning lowered his head, wiped his tears with his fingers, raised his head again, and gave Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting a strong smile.
Bai Qingqing stood sideways in the distance, listening to them talking. Suddenly, she frowned slightly, turned around in confusion, put the wine glass on the round table with one hand, and cast her eyes in their direction.
The breath of heaven...why is it emanating faintly from Bai Mu Ning?
Doesn't it usually descend from the sky and control everyone below?
Bai Qingqing's lazy eyebrows became serious. She returned her right hand to her side and let it hang down. Her fingertips moved as she moved closer to them.
"I know, I understand, and I also know that my parents and brothers love me very much, but I can't control myself from thinking this way..." Bai Muning said, and the tears he had just wiped away fell again.
With red eyes and fair skin, it looks like a lovable little rabbit.
Everyone present sighed.
Human reason and emotions are not so easy to control. It is already very good for Ningning, a child, to be able to do what she is now.
Bai Heyun handed her a handkerchief.
Without saying anything, he handed over the handkerchief and pressed Bai Mu Ning's shoulder.
He hadn't been home for a year, and when he came back he found out his sister, whom he had raised since childhood, had found her biological parents and was about to leave home. He felt very bad about it.
Bai Songxu couldn't bear to see Bai Muning crying, so he interrupted her and said, "Bai Muning, where's the energy you usually have when fighting with me? Stop crying!"
He glanced at Nie Wanqing and Jiang Jin. He was not familiar with either of them. They had distant temperaments, but they had similar facial features to Bai Muning.
This is her real family, her blood family.
Bai Songxu felt suffocated and his voice became twisted. He continued, "I don't care about whether we are biological children or not, or anyone else. Anyway, Bai Muning, listen carefully. As long as you are my sister, you will be my sister, Bai Songxu, for the rest of your life. Do you hear me?
Don’t feel guilty! Don’t cry! Hurry up and wipe your face with a handkerchief, it’s so ugly!”
Bai Muning's emotions were interrupted by him, and she burst into laughter, raising her hand to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief: "Bai Songxu, you are so annoying."
She was crying and laughing at the same time, and it seemed that her movements were too large, which affected the wound on her abdomen. Her face suddenly turned pale, and she subconsciously touched it with her hand.
Nie Wanqing had been paying attention to her. When she saw her pause, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
Bai Siqi took a deep breath, held her hand and looked at her belly.
She did not wear the golden dress that Bai Si had specially customized for her today, but instead wore a white wide-flared half-knee skirt.
The hem of the skirt fluttered in the wind, making her slender waist look even thinner, as if it would break if the wind blew.
The wound and the slightly raised marks of the bandage were hidden under the undone hem of her skirt.
Bai Muning shook his head and comforted Nie Wanqing, saying that she was fine. However, all the Bai family members knew that she was seriously injured yesterday, and they were afraid that her previous actions might have affected her, so they all became nervous.
"I'm really fine." Bai Muning took Ao Xinyi's hand and squeezed it quietly. He looked into her eyes and shook his head slightly.
Now is not the time to talk about this. If Nie Wanqing and Jiang Jin knew that she was injured, the situation would become complicated.
So... don't say it.
Having been Bai Muning's mother and daughter for nearly twenty years, Ao Xinyi immediately understood the meaning in her eyes, and was so heartbroken and anxious that he put the matter aside.
Bai Songxu was anxious to ask how Bai Muning was doing, but was stopped by Bai Lincheng before he opened his mouth.
E01 didn't notice the different reactions of the people around him, and they set off fireworks to celebrate:
〖Oi! The injury from yesterday was not in vain! Ao Xinyi is 95! (wow~) It’s the same as last time, keep going up! 96!! Yeah! Yeah yeah yeah!〗
Bai Qingqing watched silently from the side, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She couldn't understand why Bai Muning grabbed her hand yesterday and stabbed himself with the scissors in her hand.
This is different from her previous behavior logic.
Bai Mu Ning was just a little annoying with his gossip before, but his relationship with her had never reached this point.
If she did that yesterday because Bai Lincheng suddenly barged in, then now... why was she showing hurt at the right time, as if she was carefully controlling the timing?
The action just now was obviously aimed at these people from the Bai family.
She felt the concern and care for her from the people in Bobai's family.
But why?
Isn’t she going back to the Jiang family?
If she had not been like Li Qingqing in the original novel, who took the initiative to cause trouble for Bai Mu Ning and repeatedly made trouble to the point of death, according to common sense, Bai Mu Ning's life should have gradually drifted away from the Bai family.
Bai Muning and Li Qingqing don't have such a big conflict of interest.
[Why is that…]
[It is impossible for a person to do something without a purpose...]
Bai Mu Ning is not such a person who acts without purpose. Unless it is beneficial to her, there is no need to pay such a huge price.
After she returns to the Jiang family, will the Bai family still be useful to her?
Bai Qingqing was immersed in her own thoughts, her eyes gradually became dull, and she murmured softly in her heart.
Ao Xinyi and his companions, who were immersed in grief and sorrow, were suddenly startled. They caught a tiny voice and looked in the direction of the voice. Only then did they realize that Bai Qingqing had approached them and was standing two steps away from them.
The relatives on both sides of Bai Ao, who were standing some distance behind them, didn't notice who was talking, and couldn't hear the strange voice clearly, so they looked around inexplicably.
Bai Qingqing didn't notice that their conversation had briefly stopped.
I am still continuing to analyze the original plot based on what I recalled before.
She had recalled what Bai Mu Ning said before. The first half of the sentence was in the original book.
It was so infuriating to watch at the time that she even almost remembered the lines, which were almost the same as what Bai Muning had just said.
There is no part in the book where she is injured, so naturally there is no such action now.
So what's next?
"In fact, I had already made this decision before I found my biological parents. Mom, Dad, brother..." Bai Muning lowered his head to wipe the tears from his face, just missing everyone's subtle pause.
"My eighteenth birthday is indeed a very special moment. I have spent eighteen years in the Bai family and have grown up under your care and love. I am very lucky and grateful."
Her words made everyone present feel a little uneasy, and their hearts felt empty, as if something important was missing.
Ao Xinyi shed tears, and Bai Shuting and the Jiang couple all had red eyes.
Bai Siqi frowned reluctantly.
Alarm bells rang in Bai Songxu's mind, and his favorability index skyrocketed. He reached out his hand in panic, trying to interrupt Bai Muning.
But he saw a smile on his best friend's face and turned away.
Bai Muning put on a strong smile on his face again. At the back of the crowd, he found Bai Qingqing not far away and smiled at her with the corners of his lips.
Bai Qingqing met her eyes, smiled back at the familiar lines, and sneered in her heart:
【But Qingqing is different.】
"But Qingqing is different,"
[She had been wandering outside for eighteen years, growing up in the difficult and harsh environment of the Li family.]
"She has been wandering outside for 18 years and grew up in a difficult and harsh environment like the Li family."
Two female voices sounded one after the other, overlapping each other.
One voice had a faint crying tone, while the other voice was free of the sound of wind and the rustling of leaves in the grass and trees, as if all impurities had been removed, and it was ethereal and clear to the ears of everyone from the Bai and Ao families present.
Ao Bai and his wife were stunned, and followed Bai Muning's gaze, looking at their daughter.
She looked calm, with a faint smile on her face as she looked at Mu Ning, completely unaware that her thoughts were heard by them.
How could this content...
Bai Lincheng stared at Bai Qingqing in silence with a calm gaze, but Bai San and Bai Si were both shocked by what she said. They broke away from their grief and couldn't believe what they heard.
Bai Songxu was also confused. When he came to his senses, he realized that what Bai Qingqing said was exactly the same as what Mu Ning said. They were both said before Mu Ning opened his mouth.
Is she so good at fortune telling?
Whatever you say counts?
Not even a single word is wrong?!
The favorability level that had been rising to 99 stopped rising. With a curious look in his eyes, he silently took two steps closer to Bai Qingqing, wanting to hear what she was going to say.
Bai Qingqing sighed in her heart, and her tone became sarcastic:
[She suffered a lot. I know no one could have predicted this, but I am heartbroken and unable to bear it...]
"Sister Qingqing has suffered a lot. I know that this is something no one could have predicted. I have no right to say this, but I feel heartbroken and unbearable when I see her."
The surroundings became quiet, with no sound except for the sound of wind and grass.
So I decided to set everything right.
【Return her parents to her.】
"So I decided that on my eighteenth birthday, I would set everything right and return Sister Qingqing's parents to her."
"Mom and Dad, I understand. You are Sister Qingqing's parents, and you must be her parents alone. Otherwise, it would be unfair to her."
Bai Muning held Ao Xinyi's hand, and also held Bai Shuting's. The three hands were clasped together. She turned to look at Bai Qingqing and said with a smile: "Qingqing, I'm sorry. I have occupied your place for too long. I will give them all back to you."
Nie Wanqing couldn't control herself and sobbed. She covered her mouth and turned her face away, burying her head in Jiang Jin's arms and crying while suppressing her sobs.
Her daughter grew up so well, but also suffered a lot of grievances.
Even though she was not Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting's biological child, she had called them dad and mom for eighteen years. Which child could have the heart to make such a decision to give up the parents she was attached to?
She feels distressed...
Ao Xinyi stared blankly at Nie Wanqing's huge and suppressed reaction. He didn't cry for a while, but was a little out of the situation.
The inner voice and the narrative words came one after another, which was so impactful that she felt a little dazed and unreal.
Bai Songxu stared at Bai Qingqing in silence. The hairs on his back stood up. He thought Bai Qingqing was so scary and could calculate anything.
Could it be that she was using some kind of witchcraft to control what Mu Ning said?
Otherwise how could they be exactly the same?
Ningning was controlled by her magic?! Ningning...
Bai Songxu suddenly turned his head and stared at Bai Muning, fearing that she was bewitched by some evil magic. At the same time, he felt that these words were something Ningning could say at this moment.
He was feeling conflicted when he suddenly heard Bai Qingqing's inner voice again. She sighed and sounded even more lazy.
There seems to be a sense of powerlessness mixed in:
[Then both parents burst into tears, feeling sorry for her, saying that she was their only daughter and sister, and no one could replace her.]
[Ao Bai and his wife were heartbroken. They hugged her and cried, saying that she could come back anytime. The Bai family would always be her home.]
Bai Qingqing's thoughts raced from the crying Nie Wanqing to Bai Songxu, and she looked at his face with some impatience.
[Bai Songxu walked right up to me, pointed at me and asked if I had secretly said something to his beloved sister. Otherwise, why would she say that, claiming that she was her only sister for life... Hmm? What does his expression mean now? ]
【Why is everyone not moving...】
Bai Songxu's expression was shocked and speechless. He didn't look like he was going to rush up to her and point his finger at her and scold her. Instead, he stared into her eyes as if he wanted to see through her.
Bai Qingqing's heart quieted down, and she felt inexplicably frightened. She turned her gaze to the faces of the others and scanned them, only to find that no one was moving.
[Stuck? ]
[Or do you want to... wait for me to speak first? ]
Not only them, Bai Qingqing turned her head and looked further, looking at the relatives from Bai Ao's family who came to attend the birthday party. Each of them had a shocked expression.
Only some people further away seemed normal. They probably didn't hear what was being said in front, and were whispering to each other, asking questions.
What Bai Mu Ning just said...from her perspective, it was reasonable and not so shocking that it made her speechless, right?
Bai Qingqing thought about it, but was too lazy to study each of their reactions in detail.
Let’s go back to what Bai Muning said just now about returning her parents to her.
Seeing Bai Muning holding Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting's hands, as if waiting for her to speak, her face turned disdainful.
【What did I say? 】
[Thank you for returning my parents to me? Or do you reject it sternly: No, they are also your parents, we are a big family that loves and is peaceful with each other? ]
[If you really wanted to be a harmonious family, why did you grab my hand and stab yourself yesterday? ]
[If I hadn't gone crazy and explained it on the spot, wouldn't I still be considered vicious? ]
"My parents are mine, so you can leave without worry." Bai Qingqing walked forward with a cold face, walked into the group, and smiled indifferently and politely: "You will change your name to Jiang Mu Ning after you go home, right? Or will you change to another name?"
Bai Muning was stunned by what she said.
The last time Bai Qingqing heard her say this, she was so angry that her eyes turned red and she went crazy, leaving a deep impression in the minds of all the guests and relatives.
Is it so peaceful this time?
She glanced over Bai Songxu's head, pursed her lips at the number that stopped at "99", and then looked at the favorability of Bai Siqi and Ao Xinyi.
One stopped at 98, and the other dropped to 93...
What's going on with Ao Xinyi!
Bai Mu Ning's breathing stagnated. Jiang Jin stopped patting his wife's back and turned to look at them. The powerful pressure dissipated and he said to Bai Qingqing: "After Mu Ning returns to our Jiang family, he will naturally change his surname to Jiang. As for the name, we will also respect Ning Ning's wishes."
Bai Qingqing nodded slightly to him, turned around, and directly extended her hand to Bai Mu Ning, her indifferent smile slightly deepened: "Then I wish you a new life after returning home, Miss Jiang."
〖Ah, what’s going on! 〗
〖What did she wish for? She didn’t wish for anything! She was just scolding you! Ah, I’m so angry! Ning Bao, don’t shake hands with her!〗
Bai Muning was silent as he looked at Bai Qingqing's hand that she stretched out in front of him. The corners of his lips twitched, his heartbeat quickened, and he forced a smile as he extended his hand.
Hold hands.
"Thank you, Qingqing."
E01 saw that the Bai family was all silent, and saw the two of them shaking hands and saying goodbye, and realized that it was time for them to leave.
But the favorability level remained unchanged, and I was jumping up and down in anxiety.
〖We are about to board the plane, wow, what’s going on with Ao Xinyi’s favorability? Isn’t it the same as what we said last time? I feel like you performed even better this time!!〗
〖What went wrong?〗
Bai Muning also wanted to ask what went wrong, but the fact was that up to now, everything was happening as it should, but each time it happened strangely differently.
She steadied herself.
By the time she turns around and boards the plane, Ao Xinyi might react, so just wait and see.
Bai Muning and Bai Qingqing separated their clasped hands.
