Chapter 104 Chapter 104 I hope my daughter will have a home from now on...
Bai Lincheng's eyes were calm, and they fell calmly on Bai Qingqing's face as she frowned in thought, and he scanned the faces of the Bai family members present one by one.
The mother looked stunned. She leaned on the chest of her father who was concentrating and frowning, and raised her head with tears in her eyes.
The third brother glanced at Bai Qingqing, a look of thought flashed across his face briefly, and then he quickly raised his eyes and continued to watch the helicopter fly away.
The fourth brother, Bai Heyun, walked unnoticed behind the third brother and moved slightly closer to Bai Qingqing, as if trying to hear more clearly the inner voice that was drowned out by the huge noise.
Xiaowu was standing the farthest away, so he probably couldn't hear what was in his heart clearly.
He just pulled his eyes away from Bai Qingqing.
Holding the phone in both hands, he lowered his head and typed a few words. After finishing, he looked up at the helicopter that had already risen into the air and wiped his eyes.
Bai Lincheng couldn't see whether he was crying or not, but judging from his actions, his fifth brother probably shed tears for Bai Muning.
In the past two days, he has been watching the actions of Bai Muning and Bai Qingqing, and has carefully considered the relationship between them.
This world is a novel, with its own plot development. In this novel, I am afraid that everyone in the Bai family will have a miserable end.
Just as Bai Qingqing said in her heart when she first entered the Bai family.
The third child died first. He should have had a bright future, but he broke Jingui's hand, suffered from split personality, became blind and committed suicide.
His fate was two car accidents, which broke one or both legs and left his family broken up.
The Bai family fell into decline.
The heroine of this novel, Bai Qingqing had just pointed out in her mind, was Bai Mu Ning. The younger sister they had raised for eighteen years, the one who was about to change her surname to Jiang... Mu Ning.
Bai Qingqing traveled into this book and was controlled by the plot. She had to do things that were in line with the plot of the original novel. What about Mu Ning?
What was her purpose in doing that?
By doing so, she directly put Bai Qingqing on the opposite side of her. Even though she was about to return to the Jiang family and had no conflict of interest with Bai Qingqing, she still resolutely did that.
Bai Lincheng never doubted the possibility that Bai Qingqing would lie in her heart.
After this period of contact, he felt that Bai Qingqing was an upright person with a righteous character who would not take her anger out on others because of her emotions.
Even if she was really controlled by the plot to hurt someone, she would not lie.
But admit it openly.
Assuming that the Bai family's stance in the novel is in opposition to the heroine Mu Ning, and that they are generally referred to as villains, and that she herself, as the protagonist, knows everything... Bai Lincheng withdrew his gaze from the faces of the Bai family members and looked up at the helicopter that was flying away from the Bai family.
Bai Muning's actions last night and what he said today, combined with Bai Qingqing's thoughts, all made sense.
Bai Lingcheng retracted his gaze, turned his head and said to his parents: "Today is Qingqing's birthday, let's start early."
"Hmm... um." Ao Xinyi's eyes focused and he gradually came back to his senses. He looked at the time and it was already past eleven o'clock. More than ten minutes had passed since the luncheon started.
She pushed her husband hurriedly: "Hurry up, move, everyone is waiting."
Mu Ning had contacted his parents privately long ago, but kept it a secret from her, so that she was the last one to know about it today. When he saw Jiang Jin and Nie Wanqing, he left so resolutely.
Ao Xinyi was reluctant to leave, but his heart sank.
But today is also her biological daughter's birthday. This is the first time that Qingqing has celebrated her birthday at home. Ao Xinyi doesn't want his mixed emotions of grief and anger to continue into the following celebrations and make his biological daughter, who has finally returned home, unhappy again.
She rubbed her face, adjusted her expression, acted more relaxed, showed a sweet smile, walked to Bai Qingqing, gently placed her hands on her shoulders, and said softly: "Qingqing, today is your birthday. Tell me what wishes you have. You can have as many as you want. I will make them come true for you!"
Everyone in the Bai family looked over and stared at Bai Qingqing.
【I want to go home...】
"I want to go up to the sky and fly into outer space." Bai Qingqing pointed her index finger at the sky.
Ao Xinyi was stunned by her daughter's two consecutive voices, then she chuckled and nodded, "Sure, you can travel in space now. Whenever you want to go, Mom will arrange it for you."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Bai Qingqing: “I was just kidding.”
Her real birthday is not on this day.
The Bai family is not short of money, and after she became a Feng Shui master, her family fortune became even richer.
In her own world, she bought a mountain, built a villa on the mountain, raised two puppies, and let them run around happily on the mountain every day.
But she never celebrated her birthday in a big way. She spent her lunar birthday with her three best friends, 19 kittens and two dogs in a mountain villa.
On her birthday according to the Gregorian calendar, she would return to her home at the foot of the mountain and be with Lao Bai and Ms. Ou. In the morning, they would cook for her a bowl of deluxe longevity noodles. In the evening, they would eat cake, light candles, blow out the cake, and make a wish. That would be her birthday.
Her home was…ordinary, just like countless other ordinary families, and very warm.
Even better than many ordinary families.
She would like to describe her family as "healthy family relationships".
On this day that was not her real birthday, Bai Qingqing missed them a little.
The group walked towards the banquet center.
Ao Xinyi was asking her if she had any other wishes.
Bai Qingqing said no, but was still questioned for a long time, so she had no choice but to say, "I want to eat cake."
Ao Xinyi: "Of course there is a cake! How can this be considered a wish? Is there anything else?"
Bai Qingqing smiled.
Eating birthday cake is a ritual for her real mother, Ms. Ou. She is a busy working woman, but she will spend several days picking out a satisfactory cake for her daughter's birthday, just to light candles and make a wish with her on her birthday.
Bai Qingqing's eyes flashed with Ms. Ou's face. She was silent for a while as she recalled the past. However, Ao Xinyi suddenly seemed to realize something, closed his mouth, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Given the financial situation of the Li family and their partiality towards their own son Li Yao, how could they possibly give Qingqing a good birthday?
I'm afraid ordinary people don't even have the most ordinary birthdays.
Eating cake...I'm afraid it's really her daughter's wish.
Ao Xinyi's eyes were soaked with tears. He said nothing more and quickly turned his head to suppress his emotions. After adjusting himself, he smiled again and no longer pestered her to force her to say any special wishes.
Ao Xinyi said in a hoarse voice: "We will eat cake in a while. Mom knows you don't like sweet food. Today's cake is not sweet at all. You should like it."
"Don't worry about other wishes. Just think about them slowly. It's okay to talk about them after your birthday. You can tell mom anytime!"
Bai Shuting: "You can also talk to dad."
The big black bear usually couldn't even fart even after three beatings, but he suddenly spoke on his own initiative, causing Bai Qingqing to look at him in surprise.
Then he turned his gaze back to Ao Xinyi's face, smiled, nodded and said okay.
A group of people returned to the banquet center.
The relatives of the Bai and Ao families came forward to greet them warmly.
As soon as the eldest family sent Bai Muning away, the relatives all secretly observed the faces of the eldest family, fearing that they would be sad.
Fortunately, the group of people were talking and laughing when they came over. Although Ao Xinyi's eyes were red, he had a smile on his face. He held Bai Qingqing's arm and it was obvious that he had adjusted his mood.
Everyone reacted.
Yes, although Mu Ning is gone, there is still a little birthday boy at home who is the protagonist of today.
She is the biological daughter that the Bai and Ao families just found, so they must celebrate her birthday well.
Everyone turned their eyes to Bai Qingqing and gave her birthday wishes in a scattered manner. Some people did not give their gifts to the housekeeper, but handed them to her in person, wishing her a happy birthday.
Ao Xinyi hugged Bai Qingqing to the main seat and invited everyone to take a seat.
Ms. Xu and Uncle Yan thought it was time to start, so they gave instructions to today's staff to prepare the dishes. They also brought up the crown and birthday cake, waiting for the signal from Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting.
Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting stood side by side in front of the long table and spoke: "Thank you all for coming today to celebrate our Qingqing's eighteenth birthday."
Ao Xinyi's gentle gaze swept across the entire room, then fell on Bai Qingqing who was sitting next to him.
"For Qingqing, this day is an important turning point in her life, and for our family, it is a belated consummation.
Qingqing did not grow up with my wife and I. She has been on another path in life since she was a baby. The hardships and trials she has experienced along the way are far more than what she should have experienced at her age.
"Although fate let us down for many years, it finally brought her back to us a month ago. Shu Ting and I were fortunate enough to light the first birthday candle for our daughter and say to her: Happy Birthday."
Butler Xu waved his hand, and two staff members in white suits slowly entered the venue pushing the cake.
The string orchestra played music, slow and melodious, in the warm breeze of the rising sun.
Ao Xinyi picked up the champagne and raised it half into the air. The Bai and Ao families at the table also raised their glasses.
Ao Xinyi held Bai Shuting's hand and said, "Today is the first time that Qingqing celebrates her birthday with her parents and in this home. We sincerely hope that this birthday is not only a celebration of her growth, but also a brand new starting point in her life."
"From now on, she is no longer alone. She has a family to rely on, we are always by her side, her brother is by her side, and all the relatives present here are caring for her. May our Qingqing walk a path of light, love, and belonging."
"Happy birthday, Bai Qingqing!"
The guests responded one after another. Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting smiled and raised their champagne towards Bai Qingqing.
The several sons of the Bai family present also raised their glasses and wished her a happy birthday. Bai Songxu also rarely looked serious. He honestly raised his glass and saluted Bai Qingqing. He looked at her seriously and said, "Bai Qingqing, happy birthday."
The boy's voice was drowned out by the intermittent sounds of congratulations and could not be heard clearly.
Bai Qingqing heard it.
She glanced at him and then passed over his face. She nodded to Ao Xinyi and Bai Shuting, then stood up with her glass, turned around and raised her glass to thank the hundreds of people at the table, and drank the champagne in one gulp.
The six-layer cake was slowly pushed between the people and stopped beside Bai Qingqing.
The background string music quietly grew louder, and the melody echoed clearly on the green grass of the manor. Ms. Xu personally brought the candle to them.
"Qingqing, you light the candles." Ao Xinyi took a golden candle from the tray and handed it to Bai Qingqing.
Everyone present was watching. Bai Qingqing turned around and looked at the pink and white cake. She was silent for a moment, wondering if the aesthetic taste of mothers all over the world was similar.
Ms. Ou also likes to choose this color combination for her.
It's called joy.
She took the candle from Ao Xinyi's hand, inserted it on the top layer of the cake, lit the top candle in front of everyone, closed her eyes and made a wish.
Ao Xinyi watched intently, looking at his daughter's face with somewhat greedy eyes. When she opened her eyes, he reached out and gently placed a diamond crown on her head.

[Amazing! Did you see the picture released by the Bai Group official account today? Bai Qingqing is really the daughter of Mr. Bai and the Asian film queen QAQ [Picture]]
[Those who still refuse to speak out after seeing the official statement should now believe it, right?]
[What a slap in the face… Where are those who scolded Bai Qingqing before? Come out and apologize.]
[Oh my god, the real and fake daughter is reflected in reality. The eldest daughter of the Bai family was cyberbullied like this and must be very wronged. Fortunately, I didn’t scold her haha]
[Our Mu Ning celebrated his birthday every year with Mr. Bai and Sister Yi, accompanied by his brothers. Why are they gone this year? (burst into tears) So sad]
Twelve o'clock noon during the day.
The Bai Group's head office and more than 20 of its subsidiaries simultaneously released birthday wishes to Bai Qingqing at noon.
The accompanying pictures all show Bai Qingqing wearing a silver dress and a diamond crown, smiling and cutting a cake surrounded by Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi.
The blurred background is the Bai family villa. In the middle ground you can see a large area of expensive air-shipped flowers decorating it. On the green grass, there are long or round tables covered with white tablecloths. Just by looking at the people in the camera, you can see a lot of familiar faces, all of whom are common people in the media.
It was obvious that all the families of Bai and Ao were there.
The degree to which Bai Qingqing was valued and close to the Bai family was far greater than they had imagined.
They originally thought that Bai Qingqing, who came from the countryside, would be somewhat out of place in the Bai family.
The news about Bai Qingqing's eighteenth birthday and Bai Mu Ning's return to the Jiang family in Beijing ranked second and first on the trending searches. They stayed on the topic for the entire day, and the popularity did not subside until the evening.
After taking a shower in the evening, Bai Qingqing lay back on the bed and looked through the trending searches, went online, and replied to the birthday wishes sent by the few people on her list.
Perhaps Wu Weiran saw her reply and soon sent another message, telling her that the time and venue for the fourth episode of the variety show had been set and it would start filming next week in Baotong County under Ying City.
The personnel have been decided and the configuration is roughly the same. Bai Muning will participate as usual, and Bai Songxu will switch back to Bao Zishi.
After receiving the information, Bai Qingqing searched for the names of the cities and counties, replied "Got it" to the director, and continued browsing the web.
At the same time, calculate the time in your mind.
Wu Weiran said that the filming will start next week, which is exactly one week away. The estimated time has been pushed back a bit, and it is obvious that he has communicated with Bai Muning.
Before leaving, Bai Muning said that he would come back to live at the Bai family's house before the filming started, and then he would leave from the Bai family with her.
Although the Jiang family will not let it go too early, the shooting date has been set after all.
I'm afraid that in four or five days, I'll see her wandering around the Bai family again.
Bai Qingqing didn't read the new document sent by Wu Weiran, she only heard that they were going to enter the village again.
She threw her phone away, turned over in bed, hugged her pillow and sighed, "I won't be able to rest for two days..."
There was a noise at the door, and three even knocks were heard, suppressing her sigh.
Ao Xinyi's subtle voice came from outside: "Qingqing, are you asleep?"
