The two of them chatted for a while, finally breaking the awkward silence. Watching Bai Jingshan’s cautious attempts to ingratiate himself, all the unfamiliarity seed not so important.
Bai Xiao softened.
Her own father treated her like a grandson, and she felt uncomfortable. No one can comnt on who was right or wrong back then, and Yu Shaoya couldn’t possibly give Bai Xiao an explanation. She didn’t know how to continue this resentnt.
Bai Xiao felt she mostly resented the grievances she suffered, rather than fighting for Yu Shaoya.
People are indeed selfish.
But watching Bai Jingshan like this, she still felt uncomfortable.
"Dad, don’t wait for outside the hospital anymore. If you want to see , call ."
Bai Xiao escorted Bai Jingshan downstairs and finally said these words.
"Okay, okay, I’ll call you."
Today Bai Jingshan was utterly shocked by the delightful surprise.
If he had known that Cheng Xiang and the others’ commotion would break the ice between him and his daughter, Bai Jingshan would have spent money to bring Cheng Xiang and the others here. It felt like regaining a lost daughter.
After sending Bai Jingshan off, she watched him stand downstairs for a while, finish a cigarette, and then get in the car and leave.
......
Cheng Xiang stord back angrily.
As soon as he got ho, he shook off his wife’s hand.
"Why did you stop just now? Do you even hear what Bai Jingshan said? He actually denied his own daughter for that bastard child. He’s disgusting. So what if he’s rich? Does being rich make him great? Does being rich allow him to spout nonsense?"
Liu Shui sat on the sofa. The sisters-in-law had already left; finding no advantage, who would want to linger here?
"How can you have the nerve to complain? You haven’t even thought if Bai Jingshan is the kind of person who speaks without reason. If he dares to say this, he must be absolutely sure! Think about it yourself: your sister and Bai Jingshan had a proper divorce, and Bai Jingshan even let Bai Wei follow her mom. Doesn’t that make you wonder if there was a problem?
Cheng Si said Bai Jingshan had soone outside the marriage leading to the divorce, but think about it yourself: if Bai Jingshan was really what your sister said, why hasn’t he remarried all these years? Would Bai Jingshan be afraid of your sister?
Now I think sothing’s off. Maybe Bai Jingshan’s telling the truth. You should ask your sister who Bai Wei’s father really is."
Bai Jingshan is wealthy, but he wouldn’t just randomly beco a fool.
Cheng Xiang suddenly felt unsure; he had suspected this earlier! But he dared not think too deeply, fearing it was true.
If it were true.
It’s already rciful enough that Bai Jingshan hasn’t destroyed the Cheng Family. They went to cause trouble, which was really ill-considered.
The living room suddenly fell silent.
Cheng Si went downstairs and saw her eldest brother and sister-in-law sitting silently on the sofa.
She knew her brother went out today but didn’t know where, and she hadn’t even figured out how to talk to Bai Jingshan. After all, she was in the wrong; expecting them to continue treating Bai Wei as a biological daughter?
Bai Jingshan didn’t smack her face already counting as mild.
She’d thought, unless Bai Xiao disappeared, with Bai Xiao gone, Bai Jingshan would have to choose Bai Wei. Wasn’t it only Bai Wei during those years without Bai Xiao?
Bai Jingshan’s age made it unlikely for him to have another child, so now she must force Bai Jingshan to choose Bai Wei. She was used to a good life; she couldn’t possibly return to the days when she had to support herself. Just thinking about it, Cheng Si couldn’t endure, even more because Bai Jingshan had a child before marriage without letting her know, which only deepened her resolve.
Bai Xiao was just unnecessary. Why did she have to suddenly appear and mix into things?
She planned to go out and find him.
She hadn’t gone looking for him all these years because he abandoned her back then, but this ti, she had to find him.
"Where are you going?"
Cheng Xiang’s head throbbed with anger.
He hadn’t expected his quiet sister to do such a thing.
Secretly fooling around outside, in the past, this would have been dealt with by family law.
"I’m going out for a bit, eting a friend."
Cheng Si found it strange; her brother usually didn’t care about her whereabouts! What’s wrong today?
Moreover, both her brother’s and sister-in-law’s faces looked bad.
"Who is Bai Wei’s father?"
With one sentence, the sky fell.
Cheng Si was startled, standing there motionless.
"Brother...you...what...did you say?"
"I’m asking you who Bai Wei’s father is. Don’t tell you don’t know either?"
Cheng Xiang cald down considerably. Years of business had not made him blind; it’s simply hard to believe when personally involved. But if he really thought about it, it was a simple question.
How could Bai Jingshan ignore his biological daughter for so many years?
"Brother, what are you talking about? Xiaowei is naturally Bai Jingshan’s daughter. Did you hear sothing from Bai Jingshan? Brother, you can’t believe those words, Bai Jingshan doesn’t want to acknowledge Weiwei. Naturally, he wants to kick us mother and daughter out to make way for that illegitimate child. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ignored us all these years. Back then, he did sothing wrong to , or I wouldn’t have left so heartlessly with my daughter.
Do you still have to step on my wounds now?"
Cheng Si knew how to handle her elder brother. Saying this, her brother usually wouldn’t ask more, would want to comfort her. Her brother lacked big abilities but was loyal, especially to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have lived at ho so freely for years.
"Cheng Si, stop lying to . I’ve always wondered over these years. Fine, Bai Jingshan doesn’t like you, but how co he’s also not close to Bai Wei? Bai Jingshan doesn’t have several children; he wouldn’t neglect his own daughter. Your brother might have no skills, but he’s not stupid. Back then, I believed your words, but when you divorced, Bai Jingshan was at the lowest in his career, nearly bankrupt, yet still bothered to fool around outside?
I don’t believe it, who would?
You know that today your sister-in-law and I, along with relatives, went to confront that illegitimate child. Bai Jingshan was right there, and he explicitly told us to ask who Bai Wei’s father is and what wrong you did to him for him to utter such harsh words, warning us not to provoke him again or he’d show no rcy.
Are you still lying to and your sister-in-law? Do you want to see us end up in ruins because of this?
"Brother! You believe others but doubt ? Are you still my brother? I don’t have a brother who only listens to others. I’m going out; let’s both calm down." Cheng Si quickly left.
Cheng Xiang watched his sister leave in a rush, full of anger.
How could his sister have changed like this.
She wasn’t even willing to say a single sincere word to him now.
Doesn’t she know the Cheng Family is already on the brink! Could be destroyed at any mont.
