Chapter 154: Chapter 154

"Resolving this issue isn’t about who gets killed, it’s about the problem not being solved!" Bai Ruxue, the clearest-minded person in the room, spoke up, looking at Grandpa Bai, "Great uncle, about how great aunt swapped my dad, separating him from his biological parents for over thirty years, and he couldn’t even attend his biological father’s funeral! We will get the police involved! When the police decide on great aunt’s fate, we will accept whatever they determine! But now! We need to recognize our ancestry! You two should also take back the son you forced onto another family!"

Bai Ruxue’s blunt comments, along with addressing him as great uncle and great aunt, shocked everyone in the room.

Especially Grandpa Bai.

His eldest son had just succeeded, and he couldn’t bear to let him recognize his ancestry! Even knowing he’s not his biological son, he still didn’t want it.

He hadn’t gained any benefits yet, and his own third son hadn’t even managed to rely on him to get into the factory! If he just lets them recognize their ancestry , any future success will have nothing to do with him, he would just be their uncle.

Thinking of this, Grandpa Bai’s face darkened again as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

"Even if your dad isn’t my son, he’s still my sister’s son, whether we swap him back or not isn’t a big deal! We know it in our hearts! Do we need to make the whole village aware? You should still call me grandpa! Don’t call me great uncle again! Did you hear me?"

With one sentence, Grandma Bai raised her swollen face, her eyes filled with hope.

Could it be that this way they wouldn’t report her? Is the old man helping her?

But what shocked everyone was that before Bai Ruxue could speak, Bai Xianglan spoke up.

"Big brother! Daliang is my son, he’s a descendant of the Lin Family, there’s absolutely no reason not to recognize our ancestry! I’ve raised your Bai Family son for so many years, the child was swapped by sister-in-law, today I want my son back to recognize his ancestry! You can choose whether you want your own son or not! But you can’t stop me from taking back my son!" The usually gentle sister opposing him made Grandpa Bai’s face look extremely ugly.

"Xianglan, must you oppose big brother ? The child was swapped nearly forty years ago, if you stir things up now, it won’t be good for anyone! Big brother has lived here his whole life, can you bear to see him being talked about behind his back when he’s about to die? As a family, we know about the child’s matter in our hearts! Don’t tell anyone else!" Grandpa Bai’s voice even took on a pleading tone towards the end. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel[f]ire.net

"No way! We will not only recognize our ancestry, but I will also report great aunt for child abduction, don’t expect this matter to end well!" Bai Ruxue coldly looked at Grandpa Bai, "Don’t think I don’t understand your ulterior motives! Aren’t you eyeing my dad’s job at the milk powder factory to reap some benefits? Aren’t you just trying to let your son, who you forced onto others, take grandpa’s place? Let me tell you! Dream on!"

"You..." Grandpa Bai was incensed, rendered speechless when his intentions were uncovered.

"Recognizing our ancestry isn’t a bother! You just need to change the household registration and surname! In the future, you’ll have nothing to do with the Bai Family!" Bai Ruxue continued mercilessly.

"Yes! Why can’t my own son recognize his ancestry? When his dad died, he couldn’t even see his biological son, can you make up for this regret, big brother? Or can sister-in-law make up for it? Can the Bai Family make up for it?" Bai Xianglan’s crying demeanor changed to a fierce question.

"Xianglan, don’t forget! You’re also part of the Bai Family! You have the surname Bai!" Grandpa Bai reminded her.

"Fine! Then let me clearly tell you today! I, Bai Xianglan, will no longer be siblings with BraveSoul Bai! I only want my son! As for you, you can consider your sister dead from now on! You never loved me, anyway! As a big brother! You didn’t even visit your sister for twenty years! And now you’re talking to me about being part of the Bai Family?"

Bai Ruxue felt her blood boiling, this was her grandmother! Clear in love and hate, able to be gentle or steely, clear in her stance.

She thought that even if the truth was exposed, given her grandmother’s gentle nature, she would still struggle with the feelings of being raised, caught in a dilemma.

But unexpectedly, once her grandmother knew she’d been deceived by Grandma Bai for so many years, she dealt with her son’s matter without a shred of maternal sentiment, severing ties so cleanly.

She was also happy for her dad, living until this age, he finally received favoritism, got some motherly love.

"Mom... What about me?" Lin Gang realized at this point, if he were pushed out, recognizing these two as his real parents, he’d have nothing, let alone money, and even the job he was about to take over would evaporate, so he quickly took his usual tack of pleasing his mom, trying to soften her as he had in the past.

Because previously, when he couldn’t get something, he’d act pitiful and please his mom, who would then tenderly give him everything.

It’s just that ever since his dad died, he got tough, never pleasing his mom again, instead intimidating her, even getting physical...

But he didn’t expect that his previously gentle mom would become so sharp, saying she didn’t want him just like that, and wholeheartedly protecting others.

"Your mom is over there! Whatever you do, ask your real mom! I’m not your mom!"

"Mom, you can’t do this! You can’t abandon me! What will I do if you don’t want me?" Lin Gang panicked, thinking that saying soft words should settle things, after all, this mother treasured him for over thirty years, she shouldn’t be too harsh.

But he didn’t expect her to be so ruthless, really planning to abandon him.

"Tomorrow I’ll go to the police station, clarify the situation, get the household registration done, afterwards your surname won’t be Lin! It’ll be Bai!" Bai Xianglan turned a blind eye to Lin Gang’s pitifulness, her words causing Grandpa Bai’s eyebrows to furrow tightly.

So soon, so fast he couldn’t even think of a solution.

"What about my job?" Lin Gang was unwilling to give up, seeing no hope of changing his surname, he immediately spoke up to gain some benefit for himself.

"The job is with the Lin Family! It has nothing to do with you!"

Bai Daliang, hearing this, felt a mix of emotions, accepting his fate, yet being someone without decisiveness, he again didn’t know what to do, instinctively looking to his wife, but found her looking at their eldest daughter, so he too shifted his gaze to their eldest daughter.

Bai Ruxue saw her dad sitting obediently, not speaking out of turn, and looking at her, feeling satisfied, she nodded at her dad.

But her dad didn’t understand, looked at her in confusion, so she spoke up.

"Dad, tomorrow you go to the police station with grandma, I’ll go with you guys too! We’ll be surnamed Lin, it’s unreasonable to keep the surname Bai!"

With one sentence, Bai Daliang felt assured, when at a loss, following the eldest daughter was right! That’s what his wife told him.

"Big brother, if that’s the case, your job is actually with our Bai Family! You want to recognize your ancestry, but you can’t take this job with you!" Bai Dahe, who had been outside the house, suddenly interjected.

Grandpa Bai was initially furrowing his brows, deep in thought, but hearing his words, his eyes brightened, yet before he could speak, Bai Ruxue piped up.

"This job was obtained by me, what’s it got to do with the Bai Family? My dad is still surnamed Lin, unless you want me to ask you surnamed Bai?"

With one sentence, the Bai Family’s hopes were completely shattered.
