Therefore, whether it was the loss of control at the Engagement Party or Bai Tan's blame later on.
Xia Ling and the Xia family were the most innocent.
Seeing all this, seeing that Xia Nian failed to pursue Ning Ze, she could still turn around and marry Bai Tan. She could even live the life of a rich lady.
The Xia family's parents were taken back to the Xia residence. Father Xia rebuilt the company and was supported by Bai Tan. Gradually, it returned to its original scale.
Except for Xia Ling, everyone else had a good life.
The reality was so ironic that even someone as kind as Xia Ling felt resentment in her heart.
After all, she couldn't feel too much because of the burden of her body. It turned out that her entire life had been ruined by Bai Tan and the Willful Xia Nian.

As they ate breakfast, Bai Tan frowned and said to Xia Ling.
"Oh right, mom asked you to go back to the old residence for breakfast today. Don't go to the flower art class for now. Tidy yourself up a little. Mom will be happy to see you. "
As they ate, Xia Ling was a little stunned.
She lowered her head to look at a glass of milk. Her transparent and Pale fingers held the glass of milk, reflecting her dazed and complicated gaze.
Who would have thought that during this breakfast, Xia Ling would only be in a daze, and she would actually see her entire life.
"Okay. " She heard her voice respond to Bai Tan.
Xia Ling looked up and saw Bai Tan's face.
Dressed in a high-spirited suit, the man's face was handsome, and his outline was full of vigor. No matter how she looked at it, Bai Tan was perfect.
However..
Other than the disgust in his eyes when he looked at her, it was as if he was looking at a bug.
If it was the Xia Ling from before, she would feel very uncomfortable being looked at like that.
To Be in love with Bai Tan while being disgusted by Bai Tan at the same time, this kind of feeling was not something a normal person could bear.
Xia Ling endured it every day.
"What's wrong? " Bai Tan stopped talking.
Under the gaze of a pair of quiet and distinct black and white eyes, for a moment, Bai Tan's heart was telling her that these were a pair of innocent eyes.
He and Xia Nian's matter had nothing to do with her.
But... ...
Anger quickly swept over Bai Tan's heart.
Just because she was a member of the Xia family, just because she had the same face as Xia Nian, all of this was something Xia Ling deserved.
She had suffered for the Xia family!
Xia Ling frowned, her brows slightly furrowed. This fair and delicate face seemed to have something on her mind.
She looked at him and said firmly and softly, "I'm sorry. ".
"I have floral art class in the afternoon. The teacher said it's very important, and I don't want to miss it. On Mother Bai's side, she wants to see you. If she sees me, she'll be angry and tell me to get lost. "
"Oh? " Bai Tan put down his knife and fork and looked at Xia Ling again.
The girl was wearing a delicate blue and white checkered skirt today. The collar was very wide, and it was a doll collar, revealing a fair and fragile neck.
Compared to the energetic Xia Nian, Xia Ling looked fragile at all times, like a glass doll that could not be touched.
A glass doll... ... would always be a third wheel between him and Xia Nian, and he hated it very much ...
"Say it again, Xia Ling. Are you telling me that you don't want to go to the Bai family and want to go to the floral art class? "
His tone became unyielding.
According to Xia Ling's past personality, she couldn't stand the unyielding attitude of others, so she would definitely agree.
Bai Tan didn't know where she got the courage to reject him, but he couldn't accept her rejection.
She was like a snail, timid and cautious. Bai Tan ate Xia Ling's personality to death.
Sure enough, she hesitated.
The girl looked down, as if she didn't even have the courage to look at him.
Bai Tan got up and took a tissue to wipe his mouth. He should go to the company to work, so he didn't have much time to bully Xia Ling for pleasure.
"It's settled then. Floral art class will be canceled in the afternoon. I'll get the driver to send you home tonight and have a meal with mom. We'll settle the matter of them rushing the marriage in an instant. "
Settle the matter of rushing the marriage?
A complicated look flashed across Xia Ling's eyes.
She did not even dare to speak loudly when Bai Tan asked her to face the troublesome mother Bai.
He wanted her to be scolded, right?
He wanted her to take his place to bear the scolding from the Bai family that she could die at any time and could not continue the Bai family's lineage.
Bai Tan really did not treat her as a human being at all.
After some thought, Xia Ling raised her head and looked at Bai Tan again.
"I'll be going to the floral art class in the afternoon. I won't be going to the Bai family. Take a rest. I'll be going to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. "
Bai Tan did not expect that he would hear another rejection.
The strength in his bones made him very angry. He turned around and glared at Xia Ling with anger. This anger was hidden under his frowning gaze, and it directly suppressed Xia Ling.
Xia Ling bit her lower lip, but she still firmly opposed Bai Tan's anger.
She did not know why, but in the past, she did not dare to look at Bai Tan anymore. But now, with the memory of her fate in this life, Xia Ling's courage seemed to have grown.
In any case, she was not a person who would feel sorry for her. Facing Bai Tan, Xia Ling did not like him, did not feel guilty, and did not seem to be so afraid of him, worried about gains and losses.
Facing the girl's Gaze, it was Bai Tan's turn to be stunned.
Too many things this morning had exceeded his expectations.
Whether it was following Xia Nian or being forced to live in this villa by him, he had never seen Xia Ling's gaze. He only remembered her cowardly, squirrel-like black head.
Bai Tan was so surprised that the girl looked up at him like that. Looking into her clear and stubborn eyes, Bai Tan opened his mouth and suddenly did not know what to say.
Everyone was an adult. Xia Ling lived in his villa and had no status. He could not control what she was willing to do.
With her legs on her body, how could he imprison her?
"As you wish! " Bai Tan's face was dark as he said in an evil voice.
He turned around and left with a dark face.
Xia Ling sat in her seat in the villa. She was stunned for a while before she realized that Bai Tan had agreed to her request.
He held the milk in front of him with his Pale and clean fingers and took a small sip.
Although drinking the milk would cause a little pain in the fragile stomach, compared to the happiness in her heart, this pain was nothing.
*
Xia Ling lived in the Bai family. Bai Tan guaranteed her food, clothing, food, and travel. She had no financial income and was strictly controlled by Bai Tan.
In the afternoon, Xia Ling arrived at the flower art class on time.
The teacher was already waiting for her in the classroom.
This was a female teacher, one of the few people by Xia Ling's side who truly liked and treated her.
"How's your health recently? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup? "
Seeing Xia Ling from afar, the female teacher put down the flower branch in her hand and welcomed Xia Ling.
She held Xia Ling's arm and held Xia Ling's hand.
The weather today was not too hot. It was 26 degrees and there was still some wind.
However, Xia Ling's hand was a little cold. There was no sweat at all. It was like cold jade.
"It's alright. " Facing the female teacher's concern, Xia Ling pursed her lips and smiled again.
