Chapter 157 Chapter 157 We owe Qingqing too much...
"Jiang Mu Ning called you?" Bai Songxu sat up straight on the sofa, frowned and said, "Isn't she recording a show?"
Grandpa Ao looked at his grandson.
Bai Songxu calculated the time, looking confused and bewildered: "It's been a 48-hour live broadcast. When can she call you?"
When talking about this, Grandpa Ao became even angrier and angrily snorted at his grandson: "You are still Ningning's brother. Ningning had an accident last night and the live broadcast was interrupted. Don't you, as a brother, know about it?"
"No, wasn't it Bai Qingqing who had the accident last night? What does it have to do with Jiang Mu Ning?" Bai Songxu was even more confused.
"Bai Qingqing, Bai Qingqing, you are such a good brother!" Old Master Ao slammed the table and stood up angrily: "With Bai Qingqing, Ningning is no longer your sister? It is because you don't care about Ningning and this family can't accommodate her that she wants to go abroad!"
Bai Songxu: ???
He also stood up in bewilderment, his stomach was furious, and his voice was no less anxious than the old man: "What do you mean by not being able to accommodate her? What about going abroad?! What does this have to do with anything?!"
Yu Xiulan was watching the grandfather and grandson who were both equally anxious. Her head was throbbing. She stood between the two of them and said, "Your grandpa was watching Ningning's live broadcast last night. When he saw that the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted, he called her."
Bai Songxu was anxious and speechless: "The one who got into trouble was Bai Qingqing, Bai Qingqing!"
Yu Xiulan interrupted him: "I know, I saw it online, but your grandpa didn't know about it last night. He called Ningning on video and she was lying in the car alone. I don't know how long she cried. Her eyes were swollen."
"Your grandpa asked her what happened, but she didn't say anything. She just said that she was going abroad after filming this episode, and suddenly she received a call from grandpa and felt reluctant to leave, so she started crying. But her voice didn't sound like she had just cried. I don't know how long she had been crying before."
Ao Binghong added: "The people shouting in the background of the video were all shouting for Bai Qingqing. Ningning was lying there alone, and no one cared!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at his grandson's dazed face, which was clearly confused, and raised his head: "Look at you, you only know Bai Qingqing Bai Qingqing, you don't know anything I'm talking about!"
Bai Songxu came back to his senses and jumped up and down anxiously: "You old man, why are they all shouting Bai Qingqing? Someone fell into the sea! He almost didn't make it out! It took a rescue boat to pull him out of the sea! One of his legs was broken!"
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan were both stunned.
The way Bai Songxu looked at the two of them, he knew that his grandparents knew nothing, and he was so angry that he fell back on the sofa.
Although he was also annoyed with Bai Qingqing, this old man was too irritating.
Ao Binghong came specially to call for punishment.
In order to launch a surprise attack, from last night till now, apart from contacting Jiang Mu Ning, he has not contacted his daughter and son-in-law. Naturally, he does not know what the situation is with Bai Qingqing.
Although he had not met her yet, he was not very satisfied with this granddaughter who had just been brought home.
Bai Qingqing had only been back to the Bai family for a short time, but she appeared on TV so ostentatiously as soon as she got back.
Outside, Bai Qingqing is called a master at such a young age, and her photo is worshipped as a deity. At home, she makes Ning Ning suffer so much and forces her to go abroad. She definitely has no good intentions!
Jiang Mu Ning is his granddaughter whom he has doted on for eighteen years. She is the only precious little darling among a bunch of bad boys. She is well-educated, polite, filial, pretty and talented. Although she is not his own daughter, she is better than his own!
How can you treat the one in front as an outsider just because you have a new granddaughter?
Even if we put aside the feelings, no one would do things like this.
But now, after hearing that Bai Qingqing fell into the sea last night and broke a leg, Ao Binghong's face softened, and he tried to make excuses for himself with a guilty conscience:
"Then, then you can't just ignore Ningning. Isn't it enough that Qingqing has so many people caring about her when she returns home? The whole family revolves around her, and Yiyi and Shuting even ran to such a faraway fishing village to pick her up.
I say, can't one of you take some time to ask Ningning how she is doing? In this special period, she is already fragile and sensitive, and needs extra attention from others..."
The old man's words buzzed in his ears. Bai Songxu felt numb and lay motionless on the sofa, feeling a little weak. It seemed that he could not communicate with the old man at all.
When Ao Binghong finished speaking, he saw that his little grandson didn't seem to be listening, so he felt unhappy and stopped talking.
She just took two steps towards the sofa without saying anything, and asked him vaguely, "Bai Qingqing...how is it?"
Bai Songxu was not listening at all, his ears and entire head were empty.
There was the sound of a car door closing outside.
Bai Songxu's eyes lit up instantly. He sat up straight and turned to look at the door. Sure enough, he saw that the door was open and Ao Xinyi and Bai Qingqing walked in.
Bai Lincheng and Bai Shuting followed suit.
When the four of them turned around, they found themselves staring at Ao Binghong, who was standing in the middle of the living room.
【Hey, guest. 】
Ao Binghong stared at Bai Qingqing in the distance, his own granddaughter whom he had never met before. He was stunned for a moment. He felt that she looked like her at first glance from a distance.
So similar!
She has the same features as Yi Yi when she was a child, with straight black hair that falls to her chest, a pointed chin and face, and high features and nose. Her temperament is a bit more fierce, wild, and cold than Yi Yi when she was a child.
It's just that her skin is a little dark, wheat-colored, unlike her mother. When she was a child, Yiyi's skin was as white as snow, and in this respect she and Bai Shuting beside her seem to be cut from the same mold.
The three of them standing together looked like a blood-related family.
Looking at it this way, why didn't he realize before that Ningning really doesn't look like his parents...
Ao Binghong looked at Bai Qingqing intently, entranced for a moment.
Bai Shuting and Ao Xinyi were stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered what their daughter said in the car, that there were guests at home today...
Ao Xinyi asked: "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
The old man was very confident before he came, but now he looked at the crutch in his granddaughter's left hand and looked guilty: "She has been recuperating in the farm and has not come home to visit..."
Ao Binghong said this while glancing towards Bai Qingqing.
Soon his eyes moved down and fell on the crutch.
I just felt that the long cane matched with her unpleasant face, and it didn't look like it was supporting her body, but rather like a weapon that she could swing at any time to hit people.
This granddaughter is even more ferocious than she looks on the variety shows.
She can still smile at her colleagues on the show, but why doesn't she have any smile at all when facing her grandparents at home?
Seeing that Bai Qingqing had no intention of greeting him, he paused and said, "This must be Qingqing."
Ao Xinyi understood and smiled, putting his hand on his daughter's shoulder: "Yes, Qingqing, these are your grandparents. They must have heard that you were in trouble, so they came back to see you. They call them grandpa and grandma."
Bai Songxu heard what Ao Xinyi said, then looked at Ao Binghong who was silent at the moment, and chuckled: "He is not."
Ao Binghong glared at his little grandson.
"Hello, Grandpa. Hello, Grandma." Bai Qingqing curled the corners of her lips slightly and greeted them politely.
Yu Xiulan stared at her injured foot and walked over quickly, shouting, "Stop standing there. Why don't you bring a wheelchair? Xiao Xu, bring a wheelchair for Qingqing."
"It's okay, grandma. I just don't want to sit. I've been sitting for a long time today, so I just want to take a few steps."
Yu Xiulan had a good attitude, so did Bai Qingqing's attitude. Her smile was much more genuine than before, and the fierce aura on her body was also much softer.
Yu Xiulan thought about how they had been stuck in traffic for so long and arrived home more than an hour later than originally planned. It must be tiring to sit there all the time, so she quickly made way for them: "You must be starving on the way. The meal is ready, let's have dinner."
Ao Xinyi looked at his parents and felt a little confused.
My parents' attitude towards Qingqing has never been very good. Now...isn't the change a little too sudden?
When the few people walked forward and passed by Ao Binghong, Ao Binghong had a stern face and did not even smile.
Seeing his attitude, Ao Xinyi felt relieved. When no one was paying attention, he asked Yu Xiulan in a low voice, "Is Dad feeling better?"
"Much better. The acupuncture was very effective this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to fly for such a long time."
Ao Xinyi felt relieved and looked suspicious: "Are you really here to see Qingqing?"
Yu Xiulan: "...Anyway, I'm here to see my granddaughter."
She wanted to come during her last coming-of-age ceremony, but the old man felt that Qingqing had stabbed Ningning and was too ashamed to face her biological parents. She listened to him angrily talking about this matter for a month and even drank a few more doses of medicine because of it.
Anyway, she doesn't care about the old man. She just liked her granddaughter very much when she saw her today.
Of course, Ningning also has to pay attention to it.
This time when I come back, I must find out what’s going on at home. Why is Ningning suddenly going abroad without saying anything?
The family sat down at the dining table. Ao Binghong kept looking at Bai Qingqing with a stern face. His eyes were not very reserved. He stared at her straightly, and everyone at the table looked at the two of them.
According to Bai Qingqing's habit, the servant poured her a glass of water first.
Bai Qingqing took a sip, then put the cup down and looked back at Ao Binghong.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other at the dining table, and no one spoke for a while.
Half a minute later, Ao Binghong coughed lightly and said, "I heard that you fell into the sea while recording the show last night. How could you be so careless?"
How could I be... so careless?
Bai Qingqing frowned unabashedly. She was too lazy to say anything at first, but seeing that everyone at the table was looking at them, she still said, "...He was dragged away."
"Dragged away?" Ao Binghong immediately remembered his granddaughter's personality in public and his face darkened.
Why create a master of metaphysics when there are so many other characters to choose from?
That variety show was so smoky and messy!
Seeing that his daughter was not going to speak again, Ao Xinyi explained, "There is a demon in the sea. Qingqing was injured while fighting it. Her leg was also torn off by the demon."
"You believed it too?" Ao Binghong's eyes widened. He never expected that one day he would hear such outrageous words from his daughter's mouth.
He is a staunch materialist. He knows that his daughter works in the entertainment industry and often has feng shui plans, but feng shui is also a science.
Yin objects and fighting techniques?
Could it be that Bai Qingqing has confused his mind? !
No wonder even such a serious matter as Bai Qingqing stabbing Ningning was let go so easily. This couple and these brothers are so biased!
Ao Binghong sighed and suppressed his anger. He started to look at Bai Qingqing with displeasure again. He had felt a little soft-hearted because of her broken leg, but now he felt that he was really late to come back home!
You should come back early in the morning so that everyone at home can be more awake!
Ao Binghong thought about it and glared at Bai Songxu.
Bai Songxu was suddenly glared at:? ?
Bai Qingqing saw the old man had a gloomy face and was silent for a long time. She could tell what he was thinking. She yawned and asked, "Where's my lobster? Please serve it to me first."
The kitchen is serving the food to the table, and Bai San and Bai Si are also coming to the dining room.
Ao Binghong said, "Everyone is not here yet. Let's wait until everyone at home is here before we eat."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
I see, you're here to cause trouble.
The people in the kitchen were a little embarrassed. They looked at the old man and then at Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing smiled at her: "It's okay, go ahead."
Ao Binghong bent his fingertips, tapped his knuckles on the table, and said slowly: "Bai Qingqing, since you have returned to the Bai family, you must learn etiquette and know the rules. I don't care where you learned what kind of family education you had before. Now that you are my granddaughter of the Bai family, I can't let you be impolite."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the lobster that the servant had brought to the table and said, "Take this away. We won't be using it today."
The servant paused, looked at the lobster in his hand, thought for a moment, then turned around and took the lobster away.
Bai Qingqing didn't even look at Ao Binghong. She picked up her phone and ordered a takeout of garlic crayfish, paying extra for expedited delivery. After buying it, she looked at him and said, "Mr. Ao, I've been back to the Bai family for more than a day or two. Isn't it too late for you to teach me the rules today?"
"Mr. Ao? Bai Qingqing! You are so rude! How can you talk to your grandfather like that?"
Ao Binghong got angry quickly, but Bai Qingqing was even quicker: "Do you treat me as your granddaughter? I've been in the Bai family for three months, and the first time you saw me, you wanted to teach me the rules. What kind of rules are you teaching me?"
Ao Binghong's face suddenly changed.
Ao Xinyi immediately said, "Dad, what you did today was indeed inappropriate. The dishes have already been served. What's wrong with Qingqing wanting to have the lobster served earlier? Qingqing has only been home for so many years, and instead of caring about her, the first thing you do is to set rules for her. You are chilling the child's heart."
Yu Xiulan patted her husband's thigh under the table.
One by one, everyone tried to persuade him. Ao Binghong was so angry that his chest heaved violently. "Okay, okay, so that's how you spoiled your child. That's how you spoiled her to the point of being lawless. No wonder Ningning felt like she couldn't stay in this family anymore. Even I feel like I can't stay here anymore!"
【Oh oh oh, the real purpose is revealed. 】
[I just came here to pick a fight with Jiang Mu Ning, what the hell is she doing? ]
The voice of the heart sounded, and the sound quality was different from that of the human voice, it sounded a little special.
It seemed to be Bai Qingqing's voice again.
But she didn't open her mouth at all.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan were both stunned, looking at Bai Qingqing's face and her lips in a daze.
When Bai Qingqing heard the word "Ningning" from Ao Binghong's mouth, her expression, which had been extremely tough just now, suddenly changed.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she felt wronged and hurt: "Is it because of Jiang Mu Ning again? Is she crying and saying she wants to leave this house and give me back everything that belongs to me?"
Bai Qingqing's expression changed, and the atmosphere at the table changed instantly.
Ao Binghong and Yu Xiulan were stunned. How did she know what Ningning said?
When they just talked about the content of the call, they hadn't reached home yet.
Bai Songxu stared blankly at Bai Qingqing's new trick with his mouth open, and sat dumbfounded in his seat.
Bai Qingqing turned her face away and forbearingly wiped away her nonexistent tears: "She's well-behaved, sensible, doesn't that make me look vicious? I took away her only remaining family affection and left her no chance to survive?"
"As soon as she cried in front of you, you came to question me, educate me, and tell me that Ningning is also your family, right?"
"I'm done."
Bai Qingqing raised her hands, her expression calming down from holding back tears: "She has used this trick countless times in front of my parents and brothers. No matter what I say or do, she has a reason to cry. Now the target has changed to you guys, I'm tired."
"I'm a stranger. I'm leaving." Bai Qingqing took two steps back, picked up the phone on the table naturally, and put it into her trouser pocket.
Ao Binghong's eyebrows twitched.
Yu Xiulan groaned and reached out to keep him, "Qingqing, it's not like that..."
"Mom and Dad, please eat. Grandpa is not in good health. It's not easy for Grandma and Grandpa to come back from such a long distance. Don't be angry with them. Just eat."
After she finished speaking, she picked up the crutch that was leaning against the table, supported it under her armpit, and limped away.
The cell phone in my pocket dinged.
Her back became more resolute as she turned away.
Bai Qingqing's figure disappeared around the corner. Yu Xiulan reached out and hit Ao Binghong twice: "What are you talking about! Why are you setting rules for your granddaughter on our first meeting? The child's leg is broken, and you won't let her eat properly! You are so biased!"
Yu Xiulan was feeling upset while scolding her husband.
I couldn't help but think of the phone call I had with Ningning last night.
Although it was the old man who made the call, but...what Ningning said on the phone and the meaning behind it were exactly the same as what Qingqing had just said.
According to Qingqing, this situation has happened many times?
Bai Shuting stood up with a gloomy face: "Mom and Dad, you guys eat, I'll go bring some food to Qingqing's room."
Yu Xiulan immediately said, "Yes, go quickly and bring the crayfish to her as well."
Bai Shuting left the table immediately.
Ao Binghong was left speechless by Bai Qingqing's words. He remained silent for a while, feeling somewhat puzzled by what she had just said.
But he quickly remembered what Bai Qingqing had done: "Bai Qingqing used a pair of scissors to hurt someone. She stabbed Mu Ning. Wasn't that her doing?!"
Ao Xinyi's lips trembled, and his eyes turned red. As if he had something to hide, he said sadly, "Mu Ning snatched the scissors from Qingqing's hand and stabbed himself..."
Bai Songxu: "When Jiang Muning called you about this matter, did he say that Bai Qingqing did it?"
Ao Binghong's head buzzed.
No, he was the one who called. Ningning didn't say anything, she just cried on the phone and kept saying that it was not Bai Qingqing's fault.
He himself misunderstood.
Yes, Ningning said that he misunderstood the matter.
Yu Xiulan was still a little confused: "How could this happen? How could she... no matter what, she can't do anything to hurt herself."
Bai Lingcheng sighed quietly, "Qingqing... is really a good child. We, as parents and brothers, owe her a lot."
