Chapter 4: Chapter 4 Far Away from Them
Xixi was already pitiable enough without her parents by her side, but to have Bai Zhi bully her too, how could this be allowed?
"Who pushed my little sister today?"
Bai Dan's face darkened as he looked at Bai Yu and Bai Ye.
Bai Ye stepped forward, seeming unable to meet his grandfather's eyes, his hands tightly clasped, clearly not feeling he had done anything wrong.
"I pushed her!"
Bai Da quickly stepped forward, grabbing Bai Dan's hand.@@@@
"Dad, hear me out! I knew about this the moment it happened,
it was Bai Zhi being naughty, trying to cook eggs on her own to eat and bullying her sister, that's why Bai Ye pushed her a bit. But you see, it's pretty normal for kids to push and fight. You don't need to worry too much..."
In Bai Da's eyes, how serious could children pushing and fighting be?
At most, she'd just fall to the ground.
Bai Zhi had been quite misbehaving lately, always bullying Xixi; he had been meaning to have a serious talk with Bai Zhi.
"You believe whatever they say? Pushing and fighting is no big deal, but do you know she ended up with a bloody gash on her head?
And you two, Bai Zhi is your little sister, why are you turning your backs on her? I don't care what the reason is, you pushing down your sister is wrong!"
Bai Dan was always blunt, saying what he meant. He felt strong and healthy and never planned to live with his son,
having already been living in the old family home. But three years ago, his eldest son had brought home a child, claiming it as his own!
He couldn't understand, could this adopted child ever be as dear as his own flesh and blood?
Bai Da looked at Bai Dan, shocked and disbelieving.
"Dad, you said it was just a small cut. How could it be serious? I know you favor Bai Zhi, but that doesn't mean..."
Bai Da was subconsciously defending Bai Ye, because in his heart, neither of his sons would wrongfully blame Bai Zhi,
especially considering Bai Zhi's recent behavior. It wasn't just her taking issue with Xixi, but also her actions like banging on pots and pans. As his daughter, how could she behave like this?
"Grandfather..."
Just then, Bai Zhi appeared, her head wrapped in gauze,
dressed in clothes too big for her thin frame, indicating that she was too small to fill them out.
Her head was wrapped round and round, but bloodstains were still visible.
Her face was devoid of color, looking pale and green, and upon seeing her like this, no one could say she was okay!
As soon as they laid hands on the original owner, the original owner felt no affection for them anymore.
In the future, they would walk their wealthy paths, and she would just stay with Grandpa.
"Alright, let's go home, home!"
With the granddaughter saying so, Bai Dan glared fiercely at Bai Da.
"From now on, Xingxing will live with me. Bring her stuff over to me, and also, give me 500 yuan. I'll use it to look after her health. Did you hear that!"
"Grandpa," Bai Yu, who had been quiet, frowned, "Our family doesn't have that much money."
Because although Xixi went to school with them, the teacher said there would be an additional fee. Over three hundred!
That wasn't a small sum!
"You get lost, you're not qualified to talk to me!"
Bai Dan walked past Bai Yu, taking Bai Zhi with him,
Bai Zhi did not look their way from beginning to end. Or rather, she did steal a glance at that group pet,
Indeed, cute and chubby, so lovable. Both nine years old, yet one was the group pet and the other like an old maid—simply incomparable!
But no matter, in her original world, she was alone. She had only her Grandpa's teahouse to pass on, and for that, she had learned many things.
She could live well with Grandpa without relying on them, without relying on the female protagonist.
"Xingxing, why did you come out, weren't you told not to catch a cold?"
Bai Dan knelt down, full of distress,
"Come, let Grandpa carry you!"
Bai Zhi felt a warmth in her heart. How many years had it been? How many years since she had last seen Grandpa?
Without any hesitation, she climbed on,
"Xingxing, how about you come live with Grandpa? I'll even get your household registration sorted out, and we, grandfather and granddaughter, will live together!"
But it was all just talk, he knew how stubborn his granddaughter could be!
Grandpa's back was warm, just like when she was little, like a mountain sheltering her from the wind and rain!
"Okay!"
"What?" Bai Dan couldn't quite believe his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating!
"Grandpa, I said okay. Dad doesn't like me, my brothers are mean to me too, I don't like them anymore. I love Grandpa, I want to live with Grandpa, and please get my household registration transferred out as well!"
Just so, when they finally make it big, they wouldn't have to come back pretending to be kind!
