“Youyou, Bai Ling is talking to you,” Madam Bai couldn’t help but frown. She gently pushed Bai Youyou and scolded, “hey, why are you dreaming all day long and ignoring us…?”
“Mom, it’s okay,” Bai Ling looked more worried. She grabbed Madam Bai’s hand and shook her head gently. “Sister has been in a bad mood recently. It’s okay. Don’t scold her.”
“I’m not in a bad mood!” Bai Youyou’s face instantly turned gloomy when she caught the word. She said coldly, “I was thinking about the arrangements for a while and didn’t hear what you guys were saying. I have never been in a bad mood. Do you understand the situation? If you don’t understand the situation, then stop assuming things.” Her tone was unspeakably harsh. Bai Ling bit her lip. She didn’t know why her sister had become like this.
Bai Ling and Bai Youyou had a normal relationship. But she still remembered her sister, who had secretly given her candy bars behind her mother’s back when she was young. Even after that, Bai Youyou had a proud personality and liked to show off a little, but she was not like this now. It was as if the whole world owed her. However, Bai Youyou’s entire body had withered. She looked pitiful and fragile, making Bai Ling worry, and she could not care less about her rude tone.
“How can you talk to your sister like this?” Madam Bai’s brows furrowed even more tightly. She couldn’t help but scold, “Youyou, what’s wrong with you? Your sister is concerned about you.”
“I don’t need her hypocritical relationship!”Bai Youyou’s expression became even uglier. Her voice was sharp. “I know. You’re looking down on me for ruining your reputation. Only Bai Ling is your pride, your good daughter! Since you don’t like me, please don’t keep me company. I’m not asking you to keep me company! I don’t need it!”
“Youyou, how could you say that?” Madam Bai looked at Bai Youyou in disbelief. Her hands were trembling. “You and Bai Ling are both my daughters. To me, you two are the same. How can you say such words to hurt my heart?” Bai Youyou had not been in a good state these days, and Madam Bai had placed almost all her attention on Bai Youyou, causing her to neglect Bai Ling. Realizing this, she had brought Bai Youyou along to send Bai Ling to school. In the end? Bai Youyou still thought she loved Bai Ling more.
“Sister, how can you talk to mommy like that?” Bai Ling could not help but frown. “Mom is doing this for your good. How sad would mommy be if you said that?”
“Shut up. You’re the most filial daughter! Hypocritical!” Bai Youyou didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, she lifted her chin and sneered disdainfully, “don’t think that I don’t know. Aren’t you just looking down on me for embarrassing the Bai Family? You regret giving birth to such a shameless daughter like me. Unfortunately, it’s too late for you to regret it. It’s your fault for not strangling me to death when I was just born. That is all…”
Slap! Before Bai Youyou could finish her words, Madam Bai could not take it anymore. She lifted her hand and slapped Bai Youyou hard. Madam Bai was so angry that her entire body trembled, and her eyes were red. “Bai Youyou, listen to what you’re saying? You are hurting my feelings. Ask yourself, haven’t I been nice to you all the while? What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to give my life to you?” Madam Bai wondered why her daughter had become like this.
“Mommy, don’t be angry. Sister didn’t mean it,” Bai Ling quickly held onto Madam Bai and said worriedly, “don’t take it seriously. She is just angry and confused.”
“Did you slap me? You finally can’t pretend anymore, right?” Bai Youyou didn’t show any remorse. She covered her face as if she had seen through the truth. She glared at Mrs. Bai with resentment. “You and Daddy don’t love me! You only love your reputation!” To the Bai family, she, who had once been humiliated, was dispensable. Cheng Songyang was right. Ever since the suicide incident, the Bai family had abandoned her. In the end, the entire Bai family would fall into Bai Ling’s hands. But why? Why could Bai Ling, the other daughter of the Bai family, have everything that belonged to the Bai Family? She didn’t even need to think about it! She wouldn’t let anyone else have what she couldn’t have, even if she had to destroy it!
“Enough, sister! Don’t say anymore. Are you trying to hurt mommy’s feelings?” Bai Ling couldn’t help but shout.
Madam Bai’s tears fell in streams. She covered her face. “What sin have I done…” Madam Bai held back her tears, crying in pain and despair. She wondered why had her once lovely daughter become like this. It was as if something had changed her.
