Chapter 24: The Old Madam of the Lan Family II
Was Bai Yan approaching Xiao'er not for the sake of relying on Xiao'er's aid to let the Bai family accept her?
Despite her being a woman who had gotten pregnant before marriage and smeared the Bai family's name, he was merely thinking of punishing her. In the end, not only did she refuse to show remorse, but she even wanted to frame Rong'er and her daughter!
Just based on this alone, she could not possibly continue to be the daughter of the Bai family!

After Bai Yan left the main hall, she stopped. The gently breeze blew past and lifted up a corner of her robe.
"Xiao'er, do you plan to stay in the Bai family or leave with me?"
Bai Xiao was silent. After a long while, he raised his head and his determined gaze landed on Bai Yan.
"Elder Sis, back then, it was because I did not have sufficient cultivation that you were bullied by others. But now, I've gone through six years of hard work and have a firm foothold in the Bai family!" Bai Xiao's handsome face seemed to emit a scorching brilliance. "I want to snatch back everything that belongs to us! I won't let the Bai family, which Mother raised, fall into the hands of the mother and daughter duo!"
"What I wish for even more is to protect you and not let anyone bully you anymore!"
The young man's gaze swept past Bai Yan's flat abdomen and his heart felt a slight pain as the rim of his eyes started to tingle.
