The back and forth between the two children gave the adults present a general understanding of the situation’s ins and outs.
Young Master Bai’s gaze fell on his sister. "Youwei, go apologize to them."
"I won’t! Brother, you’re not even on my side anymore. I disown you!" Bai Youwei pouted, looking ready to burst into tears.
"If you’ve done sothing wrong, you need to apologize."
"I just won’t. It was clearly her fault." Bai Youwei’s eyes were red-rimd, holding back the tears.
Old Madam Bai always doted on her granddaughter and couldn’t bear to see her wronged.
She awkwardly looked up at the Si Family, "President Si, Mrs. Si, considering our families have had a cooperative relationship for many years, surely the conflict between the children is..."
"This is not simply a conflict. An apology is necessary, and if it cos to it, we can just end our cooperation."
President Si’s stance was firm; he wouldn’t tolerate even a hint of an affront to his granddaughter!
He hadn’t wanted his granddaughter to go on the variety show in the first place, but since all the won had agreed, he couldn’t oppose it.
"Youwei, go ahead and apologize, then. If there’s anything next ti, say it; don’t just reach out and pull soone’s hair for no reason, okay?"
Seeing that the Si Family was unyielding, Old Madam Bai had no choice but to persuade her granddaughter.
Knowing what was more important, an apology or losing the cooperation, she knew the cooperative benefits they received from the Si Family were too substantial to ignore.
"Grandma, don’t you care about anymore?" Bai Youwei felt even more wronged as tears slid down her eyes.
Her brother asking for an apology was one thing, but she hadn’t expected her doting grandmother to do the sa.
"No, it’s just that when you do sothing wrong, you have to apologize. Our Youwei is a good child; surely, you understand this, right?"
Elder Mrs. Bai smiled kindly, patiently convincing her granddaughter.
If she had known they were the Si Family from the start, she wouldn’t have been so bold earlier and would have coaxed the Si child with kind words.
Bai Ziyao, standing behind, saw Old Madam Bai change her tune so rapidly for the first ti.
At the sa ti, he realized that the inconspicuous child across from them was a mber of the Bai Family and soone he shouldn’t provoke.
"I don’t want to." Bai Youwei stubbornly refused to apologize, turning her face away in defiance.
"How about this, I take Youwei out to dinner as a way to apologize, how does that sound?"
Young Master Bai’s attitude seed sincere as he twisted his wristwatch, revealing a burn scar underneath.
Sang Qiao was particularly sensitive to such scars; she had seen one on Si Chenli’s body too and rembered that Ah Li had t with an accident while discussing a deal with this young master from the Bai Family.
She felt an involuntary pang in her heart and, for so reason, replied, "Good, I hope the Bai Family shows the sincerity an apology warrants."
"Of course, I’ll arrange it imdiately," said Young Master Bai as he lightly moved his thin lips and took out his phone to ssage his assistant.
The way he held his phone as he typed also felt familiar to Sang Qiao, reminding her of Si Chenli.
But the face in front of her was completely unfamiliar, and this person was not her Ah Li, who had just managed to escape alive from a burning house.
Thinking of this, Sang Qiao couldn’t help feeling sorrowful; only the person before her had been lucky enough to survive.
"I won’t go. You young people should go eat; I’ll take Tiantian ho first." Father Si, seeing the Bai Family, felt irritation and had no desire to partake in this dinner.
After all, it was because of a business discussion with Young Master Bai that Ah Li died in the fire.
Now the Bai Family’s little brat was bullying his Tiantian, and based on just those two incidents, he had not a shred of good feeling towards the Bai Family people.
"Grandpa, then you go ho and rest first, I’m going to eat." Si Tiantian clutched Sang Qiao’s hand, her eyes bright and sincere as she looked at Father Si.
Father Si, who was about to reach out to take his granddaughter’s hand, "!" She’s not coming back with him?
"That’s fine, you guys go eat, your mother and I will head back first, Tiantian, after eating, you should go ho with your mother, okay? And don’t go to that variety show again. Later, I’ll see if that bald spot in your hair can be fixed."
Mrs. Si wasn’t interested in this kind of dinner gathering, either. She wanted to go ho and look for the family’s hair growth tonic.
Her precious little daughter was so beautiful, she couldn’t afford to go bald.
"Okay." Si Tiantian obediently nodded her head and stood by her mother’s side.
Although she really disliked that Bai surna guy, if there’s food, why not eat!
"Then I’ll go too." Sang Shen stood up as well, he would eat this al no matter what!
"I don’t want to go." Bai Youwei’s voice was full of grievance, she just wanted to rush ho. She was used to others indulging her and being the center of attention, but now felt neglected, which was extrely uncomfortable.
Especially since the person she used to look down on had beco even more formidable than she was.
This sense of disparity made her feel even worse.
"You must go, this al is your chance to apologize properly to them." Young Master Bai refused his sister’s plea rcilessly, not letting her learn her lesson this ti would an she might bully others again in the future.
He had never liked his grandmother’s way of educating, but he couldn’t stop it either.
"Be good, go on, it’s just one al." Old Madam Bai also urged gently, without the earlier arrogance.
In the end, Bai Youwei was forced to follow, no matter how reluctant she was.
"Mommy, I want to be carried." Si Tiantian tugged on Sang Qiao’s trouser leg.
Sang Qiao bent down and picked her up, "Can’t even walk a few steps?"
"Uh-huh." Si Tiantian nodded vigorously, she was tired, she didn’t want to walk anymore.
"Brother, I want to be carried too." Bai Youwei likewise reached out and tugged at her brother’s pants.
"Walk by yourself." Young Master Bai walked ahead coldly and indifferently, not caring whether the little one behind him was keeping up or not.
Bai Ziyao was trailing behind, extrely embarrassed. He obviously didn’t dare persuade Young Master Bai to carry anyone, so he cooed gently, "Shall I carry you, is that okay?"
"No, I want brother to carry ." Bai Youwei persistently chased after him, wrapping her arms around her brother’s leg, her legs clamped on too, in a stance that if he didn’t carry her, she would continue hanging on like this.
Young Master Bai had never been one to be threatened. He pulled his sister’s hands away, "Being very troubleso, aren’t we?"
"But she’s being carried too." Bai Youwei pointed to Si Tiantian beside her, on the brink of a big cry.
She hated her brother and didn’t want to play with him ever again.
"She’s only three years old," Young Master Bai casually threw out an excuse.
"But I’m only four years old," Bai Youwei was not easily pacified, she was just a little kid too!
"Let Ziyao carry you."
"Her mommy will carry her baby, you don’t even carry , and still, you want to pass off to soone else, wah wah wah..."
Bai Youwei couldn’t hold back anymore, tears stread down, she was already feeling very unhappy, and now being rejected for a hug made her feel even worse.
