Chapter 894: Dispelling Gossip (1)
No one had done anything, but she was here begging for mercy. What was this?
She should be calmly treating it as a joke, to show that she did not care. Meanwhile, she should be inwardly weighing the pros and cons to find a way out for herself.
Zheng Min said, “Is it true that you’re not my daughter?”
Bai Youran was startled, then hurriedly denied it. “No, Mother, I am your daughter. You gave birth to me. I’m your daughter!”
Zheng Min said, “Since you’re my daughter, why are you crying?”
Bai Youran: “…”
Zheng Min smiled sarcastically, “It’s no use pleading with me. Your grandfather makes the decisions in this family. He will decide whether to keep you in the family.”
With that, Zheng Min got up and went upstairs. She did not want to bother with Bai Youran.
If Bai Youran was not her daughter, where had her daughter gone?
***
Just as Mo Beihan expected, the Bai family did not abandon Bai Youran. Bai Youran’s identity was not important to the Bai family. Their marriage alliance with the Mo family was more important.
The Bai family did not know that Mo Yunhao had gone bankrupt. They still thought that Mo Yunhao’s business was successful and that he was the Mo family’s future successor, so he was useful to the Bai family.
Mo Beihan smiled coldly. The Bai family would soon regret it.
Three days later, the Bai family saved Bai Youran’s reputation. They publicly announced that Bai Youran would always be the Bai family’s daughter.
They put it very well. They did not dwell on whether Bai Youran was biologically related, but that the Bai family would continue to acknowledge her.
When everyone saw the Bai family’s response, they understood completely.
Their marriage alliance with the Mo family was the most important. Because of Bai Youran’s status as the Young Madam of the Mo family, it did not matter to the Bai family if she was their biological child or not.
Many people envied Bai Youran’s good fortune. She would definitely have been in trouble if this had happened before her engagement to Mo Yunhao.
At the very least, her worth among the upper class would be greatly reduced!
But now that she was married, neither the Bai family nor the Mo family would casually abandon this marriage alliance.
Around that time, Bai Chi remembered what Bai Youran had told him before. She had found Gu Qingyao’s mother and older sister and said that Gu Qingyao was not the Gu family’s biological daughter. Now it looked as if Bai Youran had already known that she was one of Zhang Xiaohui’s twins.
Then… might Gu Qingyao be the Bai family’s real daughter?
They were the same age and were born on the same day. When Bai Chi thought about it, he rued the fact that he had not managed to marry Gu Qingyao. Gu Qingyao was now the Gu family’s daughter, and her stepmother was a member of the Qiao family.
With the Qiao family’s formal return, everyone had seen the might of the Qiao family’s wealth. The Bai family and the Qiao family were now related, which was definitely a good thing.
Bai Chi hurriedly reported the matter to Old Master Bai in hope of gaining his favor.
Old Master Bai was delighted and surprised to hear that!
If Gu Qingyao was really the Bai family’s daughter, it would certainly benefit the Bai family!
In fact, it would be a huge benefit!
Meanwhile, Bai Fei had also finished investigating Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing.
“Grandfather, the two of them are called Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing. They are the ex-wife and daughter of the Gu family’s fourth son, Gu Yunshen. That’s the Gu Yunshen who married the Qiao family’s youngest daughter a few days ago. They divorced ten years ago and have cut off all ties. It was Zhang Xiaohui who insisted on a divorce. They have a pair of twin daughters.”
