Chapter 632: Chapter 632: Out with the Old, In with the New
"Uncle, what do you mean? Is Bai Xiao the daughter of my second aunt?" Yan Chunlu had been listening on the side and was completely stunned.
Anyone with a functioning brain would be able to connect the dots after a little thought! The words all pieced together to reveal that Bai Xiao was the daughter of her aunt who had passed away many years ago, and that she was actually related to her.
"It’s very likely, more than eighty percent sure," Yu Shaohua knew he couldn’t keep it a secret.
"Then am I not sisters with Bai Xiao?" Yan Chunlu felt a stir in her heart.
Sisters, that’s good.
"Then Bai Xiao and her older brother Bai Song are..."
Worry. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
The person she wholeheartedly admired, could it be that one day, in some melodramatic twist, he would become her older brother? If that were the case, she might as well die.
"Your second aunt only had Bai Xiao, and her older brother is the child of her adoptive parents, who are truly virtuous and kind." He thought about the records, which didn’t say much but meant a lot; having experienced hardships himself, how could he not understand? The kindness this family had shown to Bai Xiao was profound and unparalleled.
This was a debt of gratitude.
No wonder Bai Xiao was so protective of her older brother; she was someone who knew gratitude and sought to repay it. It seemed their relationship as siblings was very strong indeed.
She wouldn’t hesitate to confront others for the sake of her older brother. He liked this kind of temper in her.
The child was smart; considering how adverse the environment had been all these years, she still managed to learn medical skills from her adoptive parents. The skills she possessed now were enviable.
One should really thank the Bai Family for passing down their ancestral medical skills to an adopted daughter with such dedication. Just for that, one could tell that her foster parents were people of high moral integrity, which is why they could raise someone like Bai Xiao.
Yan Chunlu finally felt at ease.
Yu Shaohan looked at his daughter’s disappointing demeanor, and it pained his heart.
At this moment, his daughter still cared about that Bai Song; could it be that he had really made a mistake?
"Uncle, I’ll go find Bai Xiao then, I’ll talk to her! After all, we do know each other, maybe she’ll listen?" Yan Chunlu felt inexplicably excited at the thought that she and Bai Xiao were cousins.
Yu Shaohua looked at Yan Chunlu and shook his head; he had watched the child grow up! She had no major faults, but her nature was soft, not someone who thought things through extensively. Someone like her trying to persuade Bai Xiao, who was so determined and stubborn, was likely to be fruitless.
"Chunlu, let it be! You should go back with your mother. Your mother just had a misunderstanding with Bai Xiao; going now, do you think Bai Xiao will look at you differently? It’s more likely that her resentment will be harder to overcome. Just wait! Your older brother should arrive by noon."
Yan Chunlu thought it over and realized he was right; her mother had just humiliated Bai Song, and Bai Xiao was willing to argue with them over it. Now, telling her they were relatives, there was no way Bai Xiao would accept that.
"Okay, I’ll listen to Uncle."
"Little sister, you and Chunlu should head back. Once this matter is resolved, I’ll let you know!" At this moment, Yu Shaohan being here was of no help either.
Yu Shaohan had no choice but to stand up, realizing her older brother probably wasn’t in the right mindset to consider anything else, "Big brother, we’re leaving now. You’re not getting any younger; you should take care of yourself." She looked at her older brother’s stooped figure, and felt a wave of emotion; they were all getting old.
A new generation of young people began to step forward, as one generation gives way to the next.
Yan Chunlu obediently followed her birth mother and left.
Yu Shaohua breathed a sigh of relief.
