Bai Yiyi observed Su Xueru's shocked expression and said with some doubt, "Big Brother came to me because Bai Ning has transferred to First Middle School. He asked me to take care of Bai Ning."
She had been paying attention to her mother's expression, and asked again, "Mom, didn't you and Dad help? Otherwise, how could she get into First Middle School with her grades?"
"How can we help her get into First Middle School? with her grades, even Eighth Middle School wouldn't accept her. If we use our connections to get her into First Middle School, heh, wouldn't we just be embarrassing ourselves? " Su Xueru said with a smile.
"If it wasn't your help, how did she get the acceptance letter?" Bai Yiyi said. Judging from her mother's reaction, they probably didn't help her. However, this made her even more curious.
"Are you sure she really got into First Middle School?" Su Xueru asked with a suspicious expression.
"Big Brother said he saw the admission notice with his own eyes. It can't be fake." Bai Yiyi said with certainty.
Su Xueru thought for a moment, got up, picked up the phone on the table, and made a call.
…
On the other side, Bai Ning was cooped up in her room, fiddling with a pile of miscellaneous equipment.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She looked at it, ignored it, and continued with her work.
However, the person on the phone seemed to be determined to persist until the end. The phone rang again and again without stopping.
However, Bai Ning was very focused and was not affected by the ringtone. She quickly finished her work, took out the refined materials from the instrument, put them into a small porcelain bottle, and then slowly took off her gloves.
The phone was still ringing. Bai Ning did not ignore it anymore. Instead, she picked it up and looked at it. The caller ID on the screen stunned her for a moment.
She swiped her finger across the screen and answered the call. A sharp female voice immediately came from the other end.
"Is your phone just for show? Why didn't you pick up after so many calls?" Su Xueru asked in exasperation.
Bai Ning quickly moved the phone away from her ear. Listening to her adoptive mother's inexplicable criticism, she replied lightly, "What do you want?"
Hearing this, Su Xueru became even angrier and almost shouted, "What's with your attitude, Girl?"
Bai Ning's head hurt from the ear-piercing noise. She had no time to listen to this lecture. She rubbed her temples and said coldly, "If you have something to say, then say it. If not, I'll hang up."
Su Xueru had long known that her adopted daughter's personality had changed a lot in the past year. Although she was not outstanding in the past, fortunately, she did not make her angry. Now, she was extremely rebellious, and every conversation she had with her would anger her to death.
She decided not to waste any more time and suppressed half of her anger. "You little girl, I don't know what kind of tricks you used to get into First Middle School. Let me tell you, you will only become a laughing stock and a disgrace to the Bai family there.
"Choose another school right now. I can promise you that no matter which school you choose, the Bai family will help you get in. I'll even pay for your school fees for your third year. However, there's one condition. Never tell anyone that you're a child of the Bai family!"
Bai Ning quietly listened to her adoptive mother's long speech and replied with a sneer, "First of all, my family name is Bai, and my father's family name is Bai. I'm a child of the Bai family, but not your Bai family. Besides, is your family the richest family in the world? "
Su Xueru was furious when she heard Bai Ning's words. She shouted into the phone, "Bai Ning, are you sick in the head?!"
Bai Ning licked her upper lip and lazily leaned on the sofa. Her eyes were bright as she said indifferently, "You think I'm sick in the head? Do you have any medicine? Or can you cure it? I think you should treat your rabies first. You're not the world's richest person, so where do you get the confidence to come and shout all over the place? Isn't it better to behave like a human?"
After that, Bai Ning hung up the phone.
Su Xueru was just about to fight back when she heard the dial tone from the phone.
She was so angry that her entire body was shaking. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she said,"This wretched girl actually dared to hang up on me and even called me crazy! Ah ..."
With a scream, she threw the phone to the ground, and the screen cracked.
Bai Yiyi was shocked by her mother throwing her phone. She had heard the conversation between the two through the phone's speaker. She had never seen her mother lose control of her emotions. She also didn't expect the usually quiet Bai Ning to be so fierce when she scolded people.
She walked over and bent down to pick up the phone with the broken screen on the ground, then carefully placed it on the table.
