Chapter 156: Chapter 156

Grandma Bai knelt on the ground, laughing heartily.

Bai Ruxue felt a little pity for the old lady, though it stemmed from Lin Gang’s rejection, not Grandma Bai herself.

Regardless of right or wrong, she did everything she could for Lin Gang, but being rejected by the son she gave everything for was unbearable for anyone, I suppose.

But then again, Cai Xianglan was separated from her own flesh and blood for so many years, Daliang grew up in hardship—all the suffering Grandma Bai felt now amounted to nothing. She deserved it.

Pitiable people always have something despicable about them!

That saying has never been wrong; Grandma Bai did all kinds of bad deeds! Asking for forgiveness now is truly too late.

Upon seeing Lin Gang push Grandma Bai aside, he moved next to Bai Xianglan, holding her arm pathetically and pleading,

"Mom! You’re my only mom! Biological or not, I only recognize you as my mom! You can’t abandon me, Mom!"

A man nearing forty behaving so childishly is quite enough.

As he spoke, he might have forgotten that just moments ago, when Bai Ruxue and the others came to pick him up, he was still throwing tantrums at this very mom, wanting to take away her last bit of food.

According to Bai Ruxue, he couldn’t wait to see his biological parents because he believed they could give him everything he wanted.

Now he conveniently forgets and talks about recognizing only one mom, what a joke.

"Gangzi! Your surname is Bai! You’re my nephew, not my son! Since the truth has come to light, you should acknowledge your roots! From now on, call me Aunt! Even though I’ve severed ties with the Bai Family, having raised you for so long, there are still some feelings. In the future, Aunt won’t pretend not to recognize you!" Bai Xianglan spoke out.

Grandpa Bai saw his sister steadfast, determined not to take this son back, so he had no choice but to speak.

"Xianglan! I will decide, let both children acknowledge their roots!"

"Well, thank you, Brother Bai!" Bai Xianglan said, as if she was speaking to a stranger.

"Fine! Let’s proceed . Everything should be discussed after Daliang and Gangzi acknowledge their roots! Xianglan sister, what do you think?" Wang Jianjun spoke up timely to mediate.

Bai Xianglan wanted to nod, but at this moment, Bai Ruxue signaled to her. This update is available on NoveI(F)ire.net

Though she didn’t fully understand Bai Ruxue’s intention, she decided not to agree, turning to speak,

"Let’s talk tomorrow! It’s getting late! Let’s all go home first!"

Bai Ruxue smiled contentedly; if the issue dragged on, Grandma Bai would have endless excuses to evade punishment. Regardless, she committed sins first; imprisonment or compensation has to be chosen.

"Mom, let’s go home! Stop talking nonsense with these people! Let’s go, Mom, let’s go home!" Lin Gang stood up to grab Bai Xianglan’s arm and tug her.

"Uncle Gangzi, since you’re back, go home with your biological parents! Didn’t Grandma just say? Call her Aunt from now on!" Bai Ruxue spoke up at the right moment.

"Exactly! Xiao Xue is right! Gangzi, I have raised you for so many years, though you caused trouble repeatedly and ruined the Lin Family, Aunt didn’t hold it against you after finding out you’re not biologically mine! But today, your biological parents are here, there’s no reason not to go with them! Go home with your biological parents!" Bai Xianglan said softly.

She was exhausted from crying and didn’t have much energy to argue with Lin Gang.

"Grand-Uncle, you’ve finally found your son, why leave him here instead of taking him home?" Bai Ruxue looked towards Grandpa Bai, her eyes full of threat.

Grandpa Bai’s heart skipped; the trouble had reached him now. Originally, he thought if he couldn’t save his wife, he wouldn’t care; she deserved it anyway.

But seeing how Bai Ruxue was, if he didn’t handle this well, their whole family might face bad consequences.

And most importantly, he couldn’t let Gangzi keep clinging to his sister.

"Gangzi, go home with Mom and Dad! Once home, Mom and Dad will cook something nice to calm your nerves!" Grandpa Bai spoke kindly.

"Get lost, who are you calling Dad? My dad’s dead!" Lin Gang was having none of it, just clutching Bai Xianglan’s arm tightly.

Grandma Bai saw this, changed from her dazed state, and burst into tears.

"I gave birth to you with all my might, did all sorts of vile things for you, yet you are so cold-blooded, you don’t recognize us old timers, has your conscience been eaten by dogs? Remember when you were a kid, I often secretly gave you treats! Have you forgotten?"

When these words were shouted out, Bai Dahe, who was standing outside the house, became agitated, thinking his mom only favored him. He didn’t expect she secretly gave treats to this newly acknowledged brother.

As a child? Even he, favored by his mom, didn’t have enough to eat, and during such times, his mom still secretly gave this newfound brother treats.

It seems even he couldn’t compare to this brother!

His mom even harmed his aunt’s son for his brother; he realized, from childhood, his brother suffered much, he always bullied him, even when shedding the brother’s blood, mom would blame the brother for upsetting the younger one.

Suddenly, driven by an unknown force, Bai Dahe shoved Wang Jianjun aside, rushed into the room, and fell to his knees before Bai Daliang.

This move surprised everyone in the room, including Grandma Bai, who stopped crying and stared in amazement at her youngest son kneeling on the ground.

Grandpa Bai was utterly stunned, and Bai Ruxue had already moved in front of Bai Daliang.

Remembering the previous experience of being hit, she was on guard.

But Bai Dahe raised his head to look at Bai Daliang and spoke,

"Brother, although you are no longer biologically my brother, you will always be my real brother in my heart. I was foolish before, always thinking of bullying you, not understanding anything as a child. You suffered on my account, always saying as the elder brother you should look after me! I now realize these were ideas instilled by mom! She was biased; anything good would be secretly given to me; the second brother would get a little, but not as much as me! Brother, you never had any share! Turns out mom wasn’t favoring me; she was giving what should have been yours to him! Brother, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"

As Bai Dahe spoke, his voice began to choke with emotion.

Bai Ruxue was incredulous; was this still the reckless Third Uncle? How did he suddenly become so... She was covered in goosebumps, it was indeed unbelievable.

"Dahe...get up quickly! Get up!" Bai Daliang was at a loss, quickly moving forward to help Bai Dahe up.

"Brother..." Bai Dahe followed his lead to stand up and hugged him, "I don’t want any biological brother, I only want you to be my brother!"

Everyone in the room watched Bai Dahe’s drastic change without knowing the reason.

Even Li Guihua didn’t understand why her man suddenly had to do this, crying and embracing the brother.

But what they didn’t know was Bai Dahe felt his mother’s previous favoritism was false—she truly only loved the eldest son she exchanged with aunt.

Suddenly feeling abandoned by his mom, with the brother who always tolerated and protected him despite being bullied—the brother was his true family. Hence the kneeling apology earlier.
