“Today, I have embarrassed both of you. Such a thing will never happen again.” Bai Luo gritted his teeth as he spoke. Though he had anticipated that today might not go well, he never expected that due to Bai Yanfei’s words, the biggest secret of the Bai family would be exposed.
If it weren’t for the fact that these two individuals were too formidable to provoke, Bai Luo would have considered silencing them permanently.
“Since that’s the case, we’ll take our leave.” Lin Zisheng had a smile on his face, but his eyes held no amusement. Bai Luo felt a chill down his spine; he realized he was growing old and found himself at a disadvantage when facing these younger generations.
“Please wait a moment!” Seeing the two about to depart, Bai Luo hurriedly stopped them. Besides offering an apology today, there was another important matter that couldn’t be forgotten. “There’s something significant happening a few days from now. Bai Qing is going to acknowledge her ancestry. Would you both grace us with your presence?”
As long as these two agreed to come, even if they didn’t admit anything, he can make people think that these two had some intentions toward Bai Qing. Of course, if rumors spread about two men vying for a woman, the Bai family’s status would undoubtedly rise significantly, completely different from the present.
“Alright, then please have the Bai family send us an invitation. Ah Lan and I will surely come.” Lin Zisheng clearly understood Bai Luo’s intentions. He merely wanted to use his and Wenren Lan’s influence to benefit the Bai family, but he wasn’t sure if the Bai family could handle the consequences.
“Feng…” Lin Zisheng knew Wenren Lan wouldn’t be unaware of what was happening. Especially when he saw the calculating gaze in Bai Luo’s eyes, Wenren Lan felt even more disgusted. How could these people plot against Feng like this? How could he endure it?
“It’s okay. We’ll just go to have a look.” He truly wanted to observe and see if they would attempt to drag them into something. Relying solely on the Bai family seemed unlikely.
Observing Lin Zisheng’s serious expression, Wenren Lan also grasped the meaning behind it. He nodded in agreement. Although he didn’t understand why Feng would do this, he would support his decision no matter what!
Noticing the interaction between the two, Bai Luo furrowed his brows. Something didn’t seem right between them!
For a long time, there were rumors in B City about the relationship between Wenren Lan and Lu Feng, but Bai Luo didn’t believe them. After all, their identities spoke volumes, and how could they engage in such inappropriate behavior?
However, watching their current interaction, Bai Luo began to doubt his previous certainty. There was an evident tenderness between them, and it didn’t seem as simple as just being friends!
But as he glanced at his daughter standing not far away, his heart became resolute. During this period, he had learned many things from his daughter, including the truth about Lu Feng’s injury.
A man willing to give up his life for a woman carried a profound meaning that any non-foolish person could understand.
“In that case, we’ll look forward to your esteemed presence!” Bai Luo’s smile became even more profound. When he gazed at Lin Zisheng, it almost seemed as if he were looking at his future son-in-law, causing Lin Zisheng to shiver involuntarily.
After the two had left, Bai Luo glanced at Bai Qing and motioned for her to follow him.
In the study, Bai Luo scrutinized Bai Qing from head to toe, his gaze devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a mere commodity.
“Bai Qing, tell Dad, which of those two people do you like?” Although both of them are outstanding, Bai Luo is inclined towards Wenren Lan. One reason is that the Wenren family is the leader in B City, and secondly, after today’s incident, no one would think Lu Feng has a good temperament.
However…
Wenren Lan’s attitude towards Lu Feng is too strange, which makes Bai Luo hesitant.
“Uncle Bai, I…”
“I already told you, call me Dad,” Bai Luo’s eyebrows furrowed tighter as he looked at the still timid Bai Qing. Despite all the education she received during this time, she still acted this way. It was truly disappointing.
“You’re about to acknowledge your ancestry soon. If people hear you calling me Uncle Bai again, it will disgrace the Bai family!”
Bai Luo slammed his hand on the table, producing a loud noise that made Bai Qing shrink back in fear. She was now terrified of this man, extremely terrified.
The day her mother silently sent her to the Bai family, she saw this man for the first time, the person her mother called her father. However, she quickly realized that the way this man looked at her was nothing like how a person looks at another living being; it was as if he regarded her as an object that could be bought and sold, devoid of any emotion.
“Da… Dad…” Finally, Bai Qing managed to utter the title, but she felt no sense of affection in her heart.
“Very well. Now, answer Dad’s question: Which of those two people do you prefer?” If Bai Qing was the one who needed to approach and get close to them, then naturally she should genuinely like one of them.
Regardless of which one, having control over either of them would be advantageous for the Bai family. While Bai Luo didn’t believe Bai Qing had the ability to do that, there were some things he could teach her. After all, he had used certain means to secure the position of Bai family’s head in the past.
“Dad, I like… Senior Lu.” Despite Wenren Lan having a better family background, Bai Qing was more fond of Lu Feng, and she instinctively feared Wenren Lan.
“Good. As long as it’s your preference, that’s enough. Before long, Lu Feng will be your husband. So, Bai Qing, you have to become even more outstanding. Only by being more exceptional can you make Lu Feng see only you in his eyes.” Finally, a gentle smile appeared on Bai Luo’s face, and his gaze towards Bai Qing softened.
However, at this moment, Bai Luo had no inkling that his scheme had already been seen through, and the other party had made up their mind not to cooperate.
“Feng, why did you agree to Bai Luo’s request? His attitude clearly shows he has some calculations in mind.” Wenren Lan had a premonition that Bai Luo’s scheming went beyond just the Lu family’s wealth; it involved Lu Feng as a person!
This is the part he simply cannot accept. In his heart, Lu Feng is an extremely important person, and having such an important person coveted by others makes him utterly unhappy.
“I already told you before, on the day of Bai Qing’s ancestry acknowledgment, we are going to watch a real good show!” Lin Zisheng’s understanding of this world surpasses Wenren Lan’s by far.
Especially after completing the hidden mission today, all the information related to Bai Qing seemed to unlock for him. Thus, he learned the truth about Bai Yanfei leaving the Bai family back then.
Few people knew about their sibling relationship, but only Bai Luo and the late Bai family patriarch, apart from Lin Zisheng, were aware of the true situation back then.
In reality, Bai Luo never developed any feelings for Bai Yanfei. He merely did everything with a simple purpose: to make Bai Yanfei fall in love with him, then voluntarily give up the inheritance rights, and even plan for Bai Yanfei to get pregnant. It was all a premeditated scheme.
Although Bai Yanfei was capable, she was still a woman. Having a gentle and considerate man who shares half her bloodline by her side, it was nearly impossible for her to resist such temptation.
Ultimately, she left the Bai family and even remained devoted to Bai Luo. How foolish!
“Feng, do you know something?” Lin Zisheng’s current attitude was too calm. Since he knew Bai Luo’s intentions, how could he willingly allow himself to be used? His calm demeanor meant he likely had his own plan, or at least some leverage against Bai Luo.

“So, Ah Lan, what do you think Bai Yanfei would do if she learned the truth about that incident back then? Although she belongs to the Bai family, she lacks the cunning and slyness typical of the Bai family. Her temperament is rare and violent. Back then, she stirred the Bai family into chaos, and now, she could easily ruin them completely!”
Hence, from the very beginning, Lin Zisheng had said that they were going to watch a show.
“However, even though that’s the case, we should still inform the Lu family. It’s probably time for us to return to the Lu family.” Lin Zisheng’s injuries had healed for quite some time now, but Lu Patriarch hadn’t said anything, letting him run wild outside and offering assistance whenever he needed it.
Perhaps now is the right time to take advantage of this opportunity and go see “him” – his grandfather.
“Mmm…” Wenren Lan reluctantly agreed when he heard that Lin Zisheng was going back to the Lu family. Why did those people in Lu Feng’s heart always seem more important than him?
Seeing Wenren Lan’s expression, Lin Zisheng felt somewhat softened. Now, not only Wenren Ling but even Wenren Lan occasionally gave him looks like a large dog, making Lin Zisheng can’t help but want to tease him a few times!
“Alright, I didn’t say you have to stay here alone. Come with me,” Lin Zisheng said. He had gotten used to having a tail following him all the time during this period. If he didn’t let Wenren Lan accompany him now, he might become uneasy.
“Mmm… Ah? Okay, let’s go home to change clothes, and then we’ll head to the Lu family.” After saying this, Wenren Lan slammed the accelerator to the floor. At this point, he wasn’t merely driving but racing.
Looking at Wenren Lan like this, Lin Zisheng found it somewhat amusing. His gaze was fixed on him and didn’t move away. Due to habit, he ignored one word: “home.” Now, with Lin Zisheng around, that place had become Wenren Lan’s home!
Truly, when Wenren Lan would lock Lin Zisheng in a small room and repeatedly pour out his feelings, he would finally realize how many chances he had missed to reject this person…
After both of them changed their clothes, Lin Zisheng made a call to the Lu family. When they arrived at the Lu family, Wenren Lan finally got to know what position Lu Feng held in the Lu family.
Nearly a hundred people stood at the entrance, seemingly the entire Lu family, waiting for Lin Zisheng. Not to mention the younger generation, even Lu Patriarch was standing at the forefront, looking at Lin Zisheng with displeasure. He heavily knocked his cane on the ground.
“Grandfather, you’re giving me a lesson the moment I return. Aren’t you afraid I won’t dare to come back home again?” Lin Zisheng’s voice carried a clear trace of amusement, and his gaze at Lu Patriarch was also affectionate.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” After hearing this, Lu Patriarch’s face couldn’t hold back anymore. He was afraid his grandson would be scared away and never return home. “How are your injuries from last time? Any problems?”
Although he had heard from the younger members of the family that Lin Zisheng was fine, Lu Patriarch couldn’t truly feel at ease until he saw it for himself.
“Grandfather, don’t worry, I’m really fine,” Lin Zisheng said, then twirled around in front of Lu Patriarch to show that he was completely fine. “Grandfather, rest assured, I absolutely won’t mistreat myself.”
Hearing this answer, Lu Patriarch nodded with satisfaction, then invited everyone inside. However, when he saw Wenren Lan, his gaze momentarily turned complex.
Inside the house, everyone sat in the living room, looking at Lin Zisheng as if they were about to interrogate him at a trial. Lin Zisheng felt somewhat helpless; what did he do to deserve this judgmental treatment?
“Grandfather, if you have something to say, just say it. With you staring at me like this, I can’t guess what you want to say.” Lin Zisheng felt a bit helpless. Now he understood why Lu Feng wasn’t that fond of coming home. Every time he returned, his dear grandfather would look at him like this, with focused eyes, but say nothing.
After observing Lin Zisheng for a while, Lu Patriarch coldly snorted and then shifted his gaze to Wenren Lan. “You’re from the Wenren family, right?”
“Yes, Lu… Lu Grandfather, I am Wenren Lan. Grandfather often mentioned you when he was alive.” Wenren Lan felt somewhat awkward as he spoke.
Indeed, Wenren Patriarch often mentioned Lu Patriarch, but it didn’t mean the two had a good relationship.
Of course, in reality, Wenren Patriarch and Lu Patriarch had an okay relationship, but for some reason, perhaps due to a natural clash in their magnetic fields, they would constantly argue whenever they stood together.
“Talk about me, hmph! Isn’t it just insulting me? I know what kind of person that old rascal is, no need to hide it from me,” Lu Patriarch said. After saying this, his expression softened slightly, and his gaze at Wenren Lan no longer held hostility.
In fact, Lu Patriarch had heard quite a bit about the situation between his grandson and Wenren Lan. Though he didn’t believe it was true, it was true that his grandson was close to Wenren Lan.
Though his grandson appeared gentle and approachable, as if anyone could easily get close to him, the truth was that one would realize true closeness was only possible if they maintained a certain distance. It was entirely impossible for anyone to get too intimate with his grandson.
Not to mention an outsider, even his other grandchildren had to consider his grandson’s mood before attempting to get close to him. Now, seeing how easily Wenren Lan could get close to him was a bit perplexing.
“Grandfather, I didn’t come here today to chat with you. It’s a matter of business!” Seeing Lu Patriarch’s expression, Lin Zisheng felt a bit of a headache. Had he made a mistake by coming to the Lu family today?
Seeing Lin Zisheng’s expression, Lu Patriarch also knew when to stop. He put on a serious expression, as if he were earnestly listening to what Lin Zisheng had to say.
With this scene before him, Lin Zisheng could do nothing but shake his head helplessly. “Grandfather, I’m here to discuss business with you today. Have the Bai family and the Lu family had any contact in these past few days?”
It wasn’t easy to have an opportunity to interact with the Lu family now, and Bai Luo couldn’t be the kind of person who would miss such a chance.
“This…” It wasn’t Lu Patriarch who spoke, but Lu Ran. As someone managing all the information in the family, Lu Ran had a clearer understanding of these matters.
“The Bai family did send people to apologize, and they even gifted me the seaside resort. How did you know, eldest cousin?”
“Today, the Bai family sincerely apologized to me, and they even gave me the seaside resort as a gift. How do you think I knew?” Lin Zisheng glanced at Lu Ran and lazily leaned against the sofa behind him, looking nonchAh Lant.
Seeing Lin Zisheng’s behavior, everyone present was shocked, and their gaze fell on Wenren Lan beside him.
How could Lin Zisheng be so impolite in front of outsiders?
In prominent families, etiquette was considered highly important. For Lin Zisheng to casually lean against the sofa like this was very disrespectful, especially in front of outsiders.
However, Lin Zisheng didn’t seem to care, and Wenren Lan didn’t either. In fact, to make him more comfortable, Wenren Lan even fetched a cushion and placed it behind Lin Zisheng. This…
For a moment, the members of the Lu family recalled the rumors about the relationship between Lu Ran and Wenren Lan. Could it be that they were…
But that didn’t seem likely, because Lin Zisheng’s attitude was too casual. It seemed more like he was treating Wenren Lan like a loved one rather than a romantic interest.
“Moreover, the Bai family must have more than just an apology, right? They probably have some other demands,” Lin Zisheng said. He had witnessed Bai Luo’s manipulative nature today. Bai Luo had only apologized, yet he had already invited Lin Zisheng to attend an event after Bai Qing’s return to the family.
“You’re right, eldest cousin. The Bai family does have more than just an apology in mind. Bai Luo wants to form an alliance with our family, and…,” Lu Ran’s brows furrowed, “though the intention wasn’t explicitly stated, I can sense that Bai Luo is interested in you, eldest cousin.”
As he spoke, Lu Ran snorted disdainfully. The audacity of the Bai family was truly beyond measure. They had almost killed his eldest cousin a few days ago, and now they wanted to plant a seed beside him. Did they want to take control of the entire Lu family?
Indeed, Lu Ran had correctly guessed Bai Luo’s intentions. Bai Luo was scheming to place Bai Qing close to Lin Zisheng to control him and the entire Lu family.
Hearing Lu Ran’s words, Wenren Lan’s face darkened, and he pondered how he could just kill Bai Luo outright.
“Really…” Upon hearing Lu Ran’s words, Lin Zisheng found it amusing.
“These people have really let their imagination run wild. When did I ever have any romantic interest in Bai Qing? She’s the kind of person who could sell me off at any moment. How could I possibly be interested?”
Lin Zisheng’s words alarmed everyone present. Wasn’t it said that he was injured while protecting Bai Qing? Now it seemed like he had no affection for her at all.
Could their information be wrong?
Seeing the perplexed expressions around him, Lin Zisheng chuckled and explained the whole story, including Bai Luo’s actions. He wanted to warn everyone to be cautious.
Upon learning about Bai Luo’s deeds, the Lu family members were also deeply disturbed. Though using some underhanded means to climb to a higher position was not impossible, not every family was as united and protective as the Lu family.
However, to harm his own sister for the sake of the family’s leadership, was Bai Luo still a human? Did he not feel disgusted when doing such things?
“Alright, that’s all I have to say. I should head back now,” Lin Zisheng said. Despite knowing that the Lu family wanted him to stay, he had many things to attend to, so he couldn’t linger. Even though he was aware that the Lu family was not happy with his departure, Lin Zisheng left anyway.
Three days later, Lin Zisheng and Wenren Lan both received invitations from the Bai family.
“I thought they would send us an invitation after we showed up together that day,” Lin Zisheng remarked. Each invitation could bring three close companions, so now that Wenren Lan had an extra invitation, they could bring six people to the event and enjoy the spectacle.
“Feng, you can choose who will accompany us. It’ll be more helpful for you,” Lin Zisheng and Wenren Lan had discussed many things these past few days, and they were truly planning to give the Bai family a taste of their own medicine!
“Don’t worry, if they don’t do anything, that’s fine, but if they dare to make a move, well, they’ll regret it,” Lin Zisheng didn’t finish his sentence, but his attitude was clear, there was no way the Bai family would benefit from this!
“Feng, do you… like Bai Qing?” Despite Lin Zisheng always appearing indifferent towards Bai Qing, Wenren Lan still had his doubts. He was afraid that if the Bai family proposed an alliance and Bai Qing was involved, Lin Zisheng might agree to it.
“I don’t like her, and I never will. You can rest assured,” reassured Lin Zisheng.
What was he reassuring him about? He didn’t know, but looking at Wenren Lan’s expression, he unconsciously spoke those words.
Upon hearing this, a radiant smile appeared on Wenren Lan’s face, stunning Lin Zisheng for a moment.
And so, the two of them made all the preparations and brought Lu Ran and five other members of the Lu family to the Bai family’s banquet.
Seeing not just Lin Zisheng but also Wenren Lan and all the Lu family members present, Bai Luo was dumbfounded. How could he make a move with so many people from the Lu family around?
From the beginning, Bai Luo had been plotting to make Lin Zisheng submit, but he knew it wouldn’t be easy. However, he had heard that Lin Zisheng was a very responsible person, so he saw this as an opportunity. If he took advantage of his daughter, he didn’t believe Lin Zisheng would dare to abandon her.
But now, with so many Lu family members present, it was impossible to do anything. If he made a move, the Lu family would definitely find out, and not only would Lin Zisheng be taken away, but Bai Luo would also offend the entire Lu family!
Some might think this was a perfect opportunity. Catching someone in the act could promote the alliance, right?
However, the Lu family was full of sharp minds. Now Bai Luo couldn’t use the drugs that could quickly fade away. If the Lu family examined Lin Zisheng after an incident, everything would be exposed.
So, Bai Luo decided not to do anything and avoid falling into an irreparable predicament!
“Welcome, Young Master Lu, Young Master Wenren, and of course, the young masters from the Lu family,” Bai Luo put on a warm smile despite feeling bitter inside. He acted like he genuinely awaited their arrival.
“He’s a clever one. No wonder even Bai Yanfei was fooled by him,” Lin Zisheng commented. Bai Yanfei’s strength was legendary in the upper circles of B City. Many young ladies had tried to imitate her, but all of them had failed.
“I wonder if he can succeed in deceiving us this time,” Lin Zisheng picked up a glass of red wine from the waiter’s hand, looked around at those who wanted to approach but didn’t dare, raised his glass in a toast, and the atmosphere became more lively.
With a faint smile on his face, Lin Zisheng enjoyed this “annual show.” Little did he know that someone upstairs was utterly infatuated, unable to ignore this profound admiration.
That person is Bai Qing. When Lin Zisheng appeared at the banquet, Bai Qing’s gaze remained fixed on him. In her eyes, Lin Zisheng was like a source of light, deeply captivating her, making her want to follow his every move.
When her father said she could marry Senior Lu, she was overjoyed, almost ecstatic. It was something she never thought would come true, and how could she not be happy?
But as Bai Qing tried to continue looking at Lin Zisheng, she felt a strong warning glare directed at her. That look carried a clear warning, as if telling her that if she continued to gaze, her eyes would be gouged out!
She knew who the owner of that gaze was, and reluctantly averted her eyes. At the same time, she coldly snorted in her heart. Even if he stood beside Senior Lu now, so what? Senior Lu would soon belong to her, and she would have him all to herself!
“Ah Lan, what’s wrong?” Lin Zisheng was a little puzzled by Wenren Lan’s sudden change in demeanor. What was going on with him?
“Bai Qing is looking at you with that disgusting expression!” Wenren Lan felt disgusted by the possessive and triumphant look in her eyes!
Lin Zisheng just blinked and then smiled lightly. “Let her look as much as she wants now. Who knows if she’ll ever get the chance to see me again later.”
Based on the information provided by 001, Lin Zisheng had an in-depth understanding of Bai Yanfei.
For Bai Yanfei, Bai Qing was a witness to her love, the continuation of her and Bai Luo’s affection. So, she had always cherished Bai Qing and wanted to give her the best.
But now everything had changed. Bai Yanfei had come to realize that Bai Luo had never loved her, not even liked her. So, Bai Qing was no longer a treasure to be cherished; she had become a disgrace.
Bai Yanfei had once disregarded family ties and wreaked havoc on the Bai family. Would she spare Bai Qing now for the sake of so-called kinship?
No, that was absolutely impossible!
In fact, it would be quite the opposite. Bai Yanfei would consider Bai Qing as her primary target to destroy because she was the living proof of Bai Yanfei’s failure and humiliation.
As the eight people were bored, suddenly, noisy sounds came from outside. Lin Zisheng immediately became alert. It was about time, and most likely, eight or nine out of ten, it was Bai Yanfei.
“Yanfei, why are you here now?” Seeing Bai Yanfei suddenly appear, Bai Luo’s expression froze for a moment. The next moment, he put on a gentle and tolerant smile, “You must be worried about Bai Qing, don’t worry, I won’t mistreat her. After all, she’s my daughter. Although I haven’t had many chances to meet her since she’s been living with you, her aunt, I still love her.”
But Bai Yanfei didn’t resonate with Bai Luo’s words at all. Instead, they made her feel even more disgusted.
When she received that information, Bai Yanfei was unwilling to believe it. After all, that person was the one she had loved for over twenty years, the one who had filled her entire youth with beautiful dreams. He was the one she cherished the most.
Now, someone was saying that all of it was a deception, that she had been deluding herself all along. How could she accept that?
Initially, she completely ignored it. But as time passed, she slowly started to recall the moments they spent together and noticed inconsistencies. Although she still didn’t want to believe it, in the end, she decided to take a look at the information.
After seeing that information, Bai Yanfei felt as if the world was crumbling beneath her feet!
How could this be possible? How could the person she had loved for half of her life turn out to be like that? How could…
“Bai Luo, do you really have nothing to say to me now?” Bai Yanfei looked at Bai Luo, feeling extremely distressed. If she hadn’t stumbled upon that information, would there have been things she would never have known?
“Yanfei, what are you saying? I… I don’t understand.” Bai Luo was a little bewildered by Bai Qing’s sudden persistent demeanor. Didn’t he agree to acknowledge Bai Qing as his own? What did she mean by this now?
“I want to ask you a question. Do you really love Bai Qing’s mother?” Bai Yanfei clenched her fists tightly, though she didn’t want to know, she could already guess his answer.
Of course, I love Bai Qing’s mother. Otherwise, why would I go against everyone’s wishes to bring Bai Qing back?
“Of course, I love Bai Qing’s mother. Otherwise, why would I go against everyone’s wishes to bring Bai Qing back?” Bai Luo’s voice was very gentle, filled with affection for his deceased wife and love for his daughter.
But upon hearing this, Bai Yanfei’s heart turned ice-cold. As she suspected, Bai Luo indeed explained it that way. Even at this point, he was still deceiving her!?
“Heh, Bai Luo, my dear big brother, since you put it that way, can you say in front of everyone that you love me and will love me forever?” Bai Yanfei raised her eyebrows as she looked at Bai Luo, the sadness in her eyes almost gone, replaced only by deep malice.
“Yan… Yanfei, what are you saying? We’re siblings. How could we say such things?” Bai Luo’s forehead was covered in cold sweat as he tried to maintain a tense expression while looking at Bai Yanfei, as if he were dealing with a mischievous child.
“Heh, are siblings not allowed to say such things? But big brother, why didn’t you say that when you flirted with me, when we made vows of eternal love, and when you deceived me into bed!” Bai Yanfei yelled loudly, then laughed maniacally, relishing the moment when Bai Luo’s perfectly maintained facade cracked.
What… what’s going on!?
Everyone present was not foolish. Bai Yanfei had made it all so clear, how could they not understand the underlying implication? Could it be…
Was Bai Luo really Bai Qing’s father, and Bai Yanfei still her mother? This was terrifying!
“Enough, Yanfei! Who gave you the right to make a scene here? Now go back immediately. You caused so much trouble for the Bai family in the past, leading to your expulsion from the house. Do you want to cause trouble again?”
Bai Luo’s eyes blazed with anger. It was as if he was looking at a disobedient little sister. “Bai Yanfei, although you are the Bai family’s illegitimate daughter, we have treated you well. Do you still hate the Bai family so much?”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly “woke up.” So, Bai Yanfei had come here to tarnish the Bai family’s reputation. Indeed, an illegitimate daughter was just an illegitimate daughter. Hmph, if Old Master Bai were alive now, he would probably wish to strangle this unfilial daughter on the spot!
“Heh, Bai Luo, if you had just said something tender, maybe I would have played along with the act. But unfortunately, I know you too well. I knew that after I said those words, you would try to shift all the blame onto me. But it doesn’t matter now.” Bai Yanfei shook her head, as if she didn’t care about anything anymore.
“You don’t need to use Bai Qing to threaten me anymore. The thought of her crawling out of my womb makes me sick!”
Once, Bai Qing’s existence was a symbol of happiness, but now her presence only served as a reminder of Bai Yanfei’s failures.
Father’s kindness, elder brother’s affection, and older brother’s love, these were all reasons she was willing to endure this immoral relationship. But in the end, it was all a deception, even Bai Qing…
“Bai Luo, do you think I still know nothing now?” Bai Yanfei took a few steps forward, smiling at Bai Luo.
“Now I know that besides the first time, it wasn’t you who slept with me, and Bai Qing is not your daughter either. You probably can’t even imagine that I managed to find that man you bribed and bought the recording he made when you two were making that deal.”
“Impossible! He died a long time ago, and he never left any recording!” After Bai Yanfei finished speaking, Bai Luo’s mind went blank for a moment, only to realize he had been deceived when he saw the smile on her face.
“Bai Yanfei, you lied to me!?”
But what he didn’t expect was that he soon heard his own voice, engaged in a conversation with another man. Listening to the content, Bai Luo immediately understood that the Bai family had played him, and… he was finished.
Ha! Messy and calculating family! Just a den of snakes!
