After that, Bai Yiyi slowly sat down beside Su Xueru and patted her back. She said softly, "Mom, don't be so angry. This isn't worth ruining your health over. Bai Ning grew up in the countryside and is used to speaking without manners. Please don't take it to heart."
Su Xueru was a person who cared about face very much. It was expected for her to be furious after being humiliated by Bai Ning. In any case, she had been Bai Ning's mother for sixteen years.
Bai Yiyi consoled her for a long time before Su Xueru's anger slowly subsided. She patted Bai Yiyi's shoulder and said with great relief, "My daughter is the most sensible girl in the world!"
Fortunately, she was with the right child now. Otherwise, with the way her adopted daughter was acting, she would be so angry that she would land herself in the hospital soon.
After she calmed down, she finally remembered why she had been waiting for Bai Yiyi on the sofa. She quickly turned around to grab her Hermes bag and took out a card.
"My dear daughter, there's a million yuan in this card. You can spend it as you like! If it's not enough, just tell me. School is starting soon, and there are many things you'll need money for. I don't want you to struggle."
Bai Yiyi pushed the card back to her and said with a smile, "This is too much, Mom. I haven't even finished using the one you gave me before."
The more she refused it, the more Su Xueru felt that her daughter was so sensible and obedient. She stuffed the card into her hand without any room for rejection and said seriously, "Daughter, take it. Remember, no daughter of the Bai family can be too frugal. You have to dress up well and look good. You're in the entertainment industry, so you have to pay more attention to your image."
Bai Yiyi looked at the card in her hand and thought for a while. That made sense. Then, she said sweetly, "I understand. Thank you, Mom!"
...
After hanging up the phone, Bai Ning was exhausted. She was ready to take a shower and go to bed early. She had just taken her pajamas and was about to enter the bathroom when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"Ningning, it's Mom. Are you asleep?" Jiang Meilin's voice came from outside the door.
Bai Ning put down the pajamas in her hand and slowly walked to the door to open it.
Jiang Meilin looked at her daughter, who looked fine, and asked tentatively, "Ningning, are you angry with Big Brother? Your big brother wasn't considerate and didn't think about your feelings. Please don't take it to heart if he offended you."
Bai Ning blinked in confusion and asked, "Angry? I'm not angry."
Bai Ning's eyes were calm. She was indeed not lying.
Jiang Meilin heaved a sigh of relief, but her heart was still uncomfortable. She was angry at that brat for treating her daughter like that. She must have suffered too much in her life, so she was already used to it. Her daughter was so pitiful!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Jiang Meilin kept scolding her son in her heart. 'That little brat was really stupid to say that his sister has a bad temper! I have to teach him a good lesson later!'
"I'm glad you're not angry. Go to bed early, then. Your father will send you to school tomorrow. It'll be good for you to sleep a little longer," Jiang Meilin quickly said.
"I know," Bai Ning replied obediently.
"Then you should go to sleep. Mom won't disturb you any longer." Jiang Meilin was about to leave.
"Mom, don't go yet. Wait!" Bai Ning suddenly thought of something and quickly called out to her mother.
She turned around and went back into her room. After a while, she brought out a small porcelain bottle that was the same as before and handed it to her mother. "Take one pill every two days. Your headache should get better in about one and a half months."
Jiang Meilin looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand in a daze. The bottle looked almost the same as the last time, but this time, there was a piece of paper stuck to it with instructions written on it. The writing on it was very beautiful, as if it had been printed.
"Is this the express delivery that your friend sent?" Jiang Meilin asked.
Bai Ning mumbled in response.
"Daughter, please thank your friend for me. He's so considerate," Jiang Meilin held the porcelain bottle carefully and said with a smile.
Even though she didn't have much hope for the medicine in the bottle, she was still very happy that her daughter cared about her. Even if it couldn't cure her illness, she would still try it.
Bai Ning understood her mother's doubts, but she did not explain too much. As long as her mother was willing to try, she would soon see effects.
...
Early the next morning, Bai Ning went downstairs in a high ponytail and a light coffee-colored casual suit.
She was carrying a black matte shoulder bag. The color tone of her clothes was simple and the style was plain, but when matched with her delicate yet angular face, there was an indescribable sense of fashion and coolness about her.
Jiang Meilin looked at her beautiful daughter and sighed in her heart. Her daughter was like a model—everything looked tailor-made for her!
