Bai Jiang didn't say anything. He waved his hand and motioned for Su Liang to sit down. "Su Liang, I know you're a good kid. You grew up under my nose. I trust you."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai."
"You're welcome. How's your mother's illness? If you have any difficulties, just let me know,"Bai Jiang looked at Su Liang and said kindly.
"She has improved a lot. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bai," Su Liang said in a low voice.
She couldn't help but recall the time when her father was still alive. At that time, Mr. Bai and Su Liang's father had a very good relationship. However, after Su Liang's father passed away, they gradually distanced themselves from each other.
Especially after her mother fell ill, they spoke less and less. At the thought of this, Su Liang's eyes darkened. Mr. Bai should have known that Bai Qing and the housekeeper at home were bullying her.
However, he didn't seem to know anything about it. He only occasionally showed concern for Su Liang and the others, but she could not tell whether this concern was good or bad.
"That's good. Then you go ahead and do your work," Bai Jiang said to Su Liang, who had her head lowered and didn't say anything.
Su Liang didn't want to stay in the same space as this family. She hated it. When she heard that she could leave, she immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Bai, I'll go ahead and do my work."
After Su Liang left, Bai Qing couldn't help but ask, "Dad, you know that she looks so much like me. Why do you keep her in our house every day?"
Bai Qing's underlying meaning was very easy to understand. She wanted Su Liang to leave as soon as possible. This was exactly what Bai Qing's mother, Lan Piao, wanted. Therefore, she couldn't help but help her.
However, before she could finish her words, Bai Jiang interrupted her, "Have you forgotten how Su Liang's father passed away? Now that her mother is seriously ill, what should outsiders say about me if I chase her out?"
His words silenced the two of them.
"Also, Bai Qing is not sensible. Don't you know any better as her mother? Take good care of her. Don't let the golden goose fly away again," Bai Jiang said as he looked at the mother and daughter.
Now that the whole family had latched onto Gu Han, they were afraid that something might go wrong and cause the marriage to fail. However, Bai Qing wouldn't take it lying down.
She did not get the answer she wanted from her father, so she could not help but lean closer to her mother, wanting to act coquettishly. "Mom, look..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she saw her mother's expression change as well. "Your father is right."
When Bai Qing heard her mother's words, she subconsciously wanted to retort.
"You should take a good look at yourself. Why are you fussing with a servant all day? No matter how much you look like her, is it useful? You are the Missus and she is the servant. It is more serious to properly prepare for the marriage with Gu Han."
Bai Qing was denied a method to vent her anger one after another. She angrily threw a tantrum and went back to her room.
As soon as she entered the room, she smashed everything in the room. None of the servants who followed her dared to come close. The smashing did not abate her fury. "Su Liang, Su Liang, it's all because of you. You're not going to enjoy what comes next."
Su Liang didn't know that Bai Qing was so angry because of her. After finishing work today, coupled with Bai Qing's slap, both her body and mind were very tired. She returned to the small room at the back and was extremely tired. She took a shower and fell asleep.
Su Liang did the same for the rest of the day. However, she didn't run into Bai Qing looking for trouble, nor did she run into Gu Han.
The whole family was busy with Bai Qing and her husband's marriage. Perhaps they had their hands too full with their own affairs, so Su Liang was very happy these days.
She went back and forth between the hospital and her part-time job every day. Even if she helped at home, she tried her best not to appear in front of Bai Qing to annoy her.
However, she didn't expect Chen Yan to still appear in front of her from time to time. "Chen Yan, I'm really busy," Su Liang said as she looked at Chen Yan in front of her uncomfortably.
"I know. I just want to be friends with you. I have no other intentions," Chen Yan looked at Su Liang and said sincerely.
She really couldn't find any words to reject such a reason.
Soon, it was the night of the engagement between Gu Han and Bai Qing.
