Chapter 23 Chapter 23 The Way of Heaven!
The whole audience's pupils trembled.
The guests standing in the distance quietly moved forward, stood closer together, looked at Wu Hengfeng, and then looked at Ao Bai and his wife on the stage.
Finally, his eyes fell on Bai Qingqing and Bai Muning, who were at the center of attention.
Bai Qingqing sat in a wheelchair with a calm face, as if what was being discussed had nothing to do with her. She even looked at the audience with interest, observing everyone's expressions.
In the original plot, at the dinner party where Bai Qingqing's identity was announced to the public, the brothers were all xenophobic. Bai Shuting had a cold face. Ao Xinyi introduced her to the circle, and the lines were probably the same as before.
Of course, she was not announced as a twin at the dinner, but when someone still had doubts, Ao Xinyi protected Bai Mu Ning, fearing that she would let outsiders think too much. Even a fool could see who was closer and who was distant.
Thus, Bai Qingqing became the illegitimate daughter in everyone's eyes.
Although Ao Xinyi answered——
Bai Qingqing and Bai Muning are both my daughters.
"Bai Qingqing and Bai Muning are both my daughters."
Ao Xinyi's expression did not change at all. He had not used a microphone when he spoke before, but this time he turned on the microphone, and the amplified sound spread to every corner of the banquet hall.
The huge banquet hall was extremely quiet.
Mrs. Wu had an awkward smile on her face, and her subordinates were frantically pulling at her husband's clothes. Wu Hengfeng only then realized that he seemed to have said something wrong, and smiled innocently: "So that's how it is. Congratulations to Mrs. Bai for reuniting with her family now, haha."
On the other side of the stage, Wu Yunong also apologized to Bai Mu Ning: "I'm sorry Ning Ning, my dad is just a bad talker, he didn't mean any harm."
Bai Mu Ning's eyes were filled with tears: "Of course I know, I just feel sorry for my sister. She was taken away when she was young, and it has been eighteen years since she returned home."
Yuan Muyu had heard from Bu Yufu before that there was a big commotion in the Bai family on the day Bai Qingqing came back.
She looked Bai Qingqing up and down.
The face is unfamiliar. I have never seen it before.
But how does she look like the Bai family, dark and thin? Not to mention her brothers, even Bai Mu Ning, who is also a girl, has nothing in common with her.
On the other hand, Bai Muning and Ao Xinyi stood under the light, their skin glowing white and their eyes were the most gentle.
Yuan Muyu's disdain was evident on her face: "Ningning, is that really your sister? She doesn't look like any of your family members."
She glanced at Bai Qingqing, who was sitting in a wheelchair with a nonchalant look on her face. "There are many people who want to get close to our family. What tricks can't we use?"
"Eighteen years, there was no sign before, and he was hit by a car accident? It's too coincidental, don't be fooled."
Bai Muning immediately denied it: "It can't be wrong, I've done three paternity tests, it's definitely my parents' child."
She was resolute in her denial and showed full trust in Bai Qingqing.
Zeng Xue felt something was wrong and lowered her voice to say, "I have something to say, Ningning, don't be angry. Could Bai Qingqing be... an illegitimate child?"
Bai Muning opened his eyes wide.
Friends started discussing: "Mu Yu is right, it's such a coincidence that someone got hit by a car accident."
"Yeah, someone must have arranged it and found an excuse for her to show up."
"... Ning, Ningning, don't cry. This is just an idea. I know Uncle Bai and Aunt Ao have a good relationship, but there are always unexpected events. We are just worried that you will suffer a loss!"
Bai Muning's joy at his sister's return home was gone, and his tone became weaker. He still shook his head to deny it and said softly, "No, no, I believe in mom and dad."
*
The string music, which had been paused for a moment, started again.
Ao Xinyi said a few words at the end, then came down from the stage and, together with Bai Shuting, introduced Bai Qingqing to their friends.
A group of adults surrounded Bai Qingqing, who was sitting in a wheelchair. They held wine glasses and chatted familiarly with Ao Bai and his wife, their eyes falling on her from time to time.
The little girl was dark-skinned, wearing a black skirt, and had a thin figure.
She was not as bright and charming as Ao Xinyi. She had a dark and gloomy face, and looked more like Bai Shuting than others.
I don’t know if it was because of stage fright, but he only smiled at them occasionally while sitting in the wheelchair. Most of the time he kept his head down, so his face couldn’t be seen clearly, and he didn’t talk much.
It was normal for a child who had just been brought back from the countryside to be timid, petty, and impolite. They did not blame her, but smiled at Ao Xinyi and said, "The child has just returned home, so there must be many things he is not used to. You must put in more effort."
"Who is older, her or Mu Ning? What grade are they in?"
Bai Qingqing didn't say anything, so Ao Xinyi answered for her: "She's in her third year of high school, but Qingqing worked hard and was admitted to Dongda University in advance. She'll be a freshman soon."
"Dongda? What a good school! Does your Ningning plan to stay in Dongshi to study?"
"Hey, Lao Liu, Ningning is a big star and is doing quite well now! She has to go to acting school, right?"
Ao Xinyi smiled and said, "We'll follow Ningning's own arrangements."
Mrs. Huo arrived the latest. She rushed over and squeezed into the crowd. Before she got close, she asked Ao Xinyi in a low voice in surprise why the child was in a wheelchair.
Ao Xinyi knew what she was thinking and patted Mrs. Huo on the shoulder: "He's not lame. It was at the family dinner two days ago that the child's leg was scalded by the hot soup."
"Oh..." Mrs. Huo suddenly realized and her tone became more relaxed. She squatted in front of the wheelchair, stretched out her hand to Bai Qingqing, and said cheerfully, "Hello Qingqing, I'm your mother's best friend, Aunt Huo."
Mrs. Huo was very tall. She squatted down and looked into Bai Qingqing's eyes, treating her like a child.
Bai Qingqing had a good impression of her and shook hands with her: "Hello, Aunt Huo."
Mrs. Huo raised her red lips, revealing eight teeth, and handed her a small box: "I picked this gift especially for you, see if you like it?"
In the brocade box is a peace amulet carved from the finest jade.
It's really for children.
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Huo. I like it very much."
Mrs. Huo gently touched her little face and was about to get up when Bai Qingqing suddenly asked her, "Auntie Huo, do you like children?"
Mrs. Huo was startled. She pinched the little face with her fingers instead of touching it, and said generously, "I like it! Who wouldn't like such a cute child!"
Bai Qingqing waved to Madam Huo.
Mrs. Huo hadn't stood up yet, but she obediently put her ear close to her.
"After you get home tonight, if someone asks you out, don't go."
Mrs. Huo was a little stunned. Bai Qingqing had already straightened up after she finished speaking, leaning back on the chair, and waved the peace card in her hand at her, smiling: "Return the gift."
It was too noisy around, with everyone discussing the future development of Bai Mu Ning and Bai Song Xu. No one noticed their little movements. Bai Qingqing was given a headache by the noise, so she took a few steps back, turned around, and left.
Mrs. Huo was handed a glass of wine. Her eyes were still glued to Bai Qingqing's back as she left. She was a little slow to react. She clinked glasses with the other person and patted Ao Xinyi on the shoulder: "Qingqing is gone. Can she do it alone?"
Bai Qingqing left the banquet hall, and her ears suddenly felt much quieter.
The air outside is good and breathing is smooth.
Of course, if a group of people didn’t suddenly appear in front of me, my eyes would be much clearer.
"Hey, Cripple."
"Why did you run away? You can't get used to this kind of place, right?"
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Bai Qingqing stopped her wheelchair and looked at the vivid faces in front of her. She felt like she was watching a live version of the TV drama "A Rich Mary Sue and a Domineering CEO Fall in Love with Me".
There were two steps in front of her, and young men and women blocked her way, obviously not intending to let anyone go down.
And be prepared to make sarcastic remarks and speak out.
Bai Qingqing didn't struggle at all, knowing that in this situation, she had to listen to what the other party said before she could leave.
She waited for the person on the other side to speak, and recalled the plot at the same time.
"I didn't have a chance to talk to you just now. I heard that you used to live in a mountain valley? Which mountain, which valley? Why did you suddenly come to East City?"
Good question, I don’t know either.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at the man without saying a word.
Seeing that she was speechless, Yuan Muyu felt that his guess was correct, so he directly pointed out: "We have seen many family recognition dramas like yours. You don't think you are the first one, do you? Let me tell you, our circle is completely different from what you can imagine. I advise you to give up as soon as possible, otherwise you will lose your life before you get the money."
Bai Qingqing smiled: "You want to pay for the Bai family? How much do you want to pay?"
"Wow, she can't hide it anymore?"
"Sure enough, I knew she couldn't be Aunt Ao's daughter. She doesn't even look at herself and see who she is. She's not even as good as a hair of Ning Ning, and she still dreams of being a sister to Mu Ning!"
"Just call everyone over and let everyone see her true face."
"Oh my god, I thought I could have some fun, but I haven't even started! It's so boring!"
Yuan Muyu approached her: "You still want money? You're dreaming! I'm calling the police now, and you'll go to jail!"
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes and retracted her smile: "You can't say shit without paying me."
A group of boys and girls, almost everyone said something just now.
From the corner of his eye, he could see Bai Songxu and his friends looking at them from a distance, observing with cold eyes.
Although these people in front of me don't match the ones in the book, but judging from the plot, the original person felt out of place at the high-class banquet, as if he had entered another world.
The young masters and ladies of her age were all glamorous and beautiful, but none of them approached her. They mocked her and emphasized the huge difference between her and Bai Mu Ning.
Now all the factors are in place. If she is the real daughter Li Qingqing, she should be sad enough now.
She turned her wheelchair around and prepared to leave: "Please call the police if you want."
Previously in the banquet hall, Bai Qingqing had been silent the entire time, and this was the first time that the others had heard her speak like this.
Yuan Muyu was angry. She grabbed her wheelchair and pushed it forward, but the heavy weight in her hands suddenly disappeared.
Bai Qingqing nimbly jumped on the wheelchair and dodged to the side. The inertia almost caused Yuan Muyu to fall, but he was held by his friend and did not fall.
Only an empty wheelchair banged a few times, fell down the stairs and rolled to the ground.
——I remembered.
Li Qingqing escaped from the banquet and was pushed down the stairs. The other party mocked her, saying, "Don't you know what you look like? How dare you compete with Mu Ning for a seat?"
The grievances that Li Qingqing suffered for days finally turned into hatred towards Bai Mu Ning, and from then on she began her tragic life of targeting Bai Mu Ning.
In the night, the wind and clouds changed, forming a vortex that hovered in the sky and pressed down towards the ground.
Bai Qingqing frowned and looked up at the sky.
