Chapter 173: Aren't you afraid she will regret it?

On the rooftop, Bai Shuruo and Bai Shunan continued to chat.

Bai Shunan was extremely surprised: "What? You have a daughter?"

Bai Shuruo nodded and added: "I sent her to a nearby daycare. The teachers and staff there are quite good to her, and she is very well-behaved and sensible, which is why I have the peace of mind to run this guesthouse."

Bai Shunan couldn't help but blame her younger sister again: "Aren't you just being reckless? Although I have never given birth to a child, I know how troublesome raising one is. You must have had a very hard time all these years. Why didn't you tell us about your situation? Even if you didn't want Han Yangting anymore, you should have trusted that we could take good care of the child. Although the scenery here is nice and it's livable, the education and resources in every aspect surely cannot compare to Fengcheng and Beishi. Ruoruo, aren't you considering your daughter's future?"

Bai Shuruo said: "But I feel she lives quite happily here. When people are alive, they don't necessarily have to pursue such good material conditions, right? I had nothing at home when I was little, didn't I still grow up?"

"That's just what you think. If she had a choice, she would definitely choose a place with better educational resources. Aren't you afraid she will blame you when she grows up? When she could have clearly enjoyed a better material life."

Bai Shuruo had actually considered this question, but she had also thought it through: dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes. Whatever kind of mother she was, her daughter would have to live that kind of life. As for the future, she would wait until her daughter grew up to talk about it.

"Sister, do you also think I'm selfish?" Bai Shuruo asked.

Bai Shunan took a sip of tea and then said firmly: "There is a little bit of that. You only consider yourself and don't consider those of us who care about you. And there's Han Yangting; Aunt Lin Wanfen has already forgiven him, so how much longer are you going to hide from him?"

"Aunt Lin Wanfen has forgiven him?" Bai Shuruo asked in surprise.

"Yes, he begged Aunt Lin Wanfen for half a year and finally obtained her forgiveness," Bai Shunan continued: "Actually, that matter with Han Yangting wasn't unforgivable. Father's death wasn't directly caused by him; he just made a decision as a company president, and he had the right to make that decision. He was wrong back then, but he also paid the price. These past few years, he has searched for you so bitterly. If I were you, I would have been moved by him."

After hearing this, Bai Shuruo was completely stunned.

She thought of that back again; for the past two days, every time she closed her eyes, it was that figure.

Bai Shunan asked: "Can you really not go back to the past? After more than three years, have you still not thought it through? Or is it because of Meng Ze?"

Bai Shuruo said: "These past few years, in order to protect me and Xiaofeng, Meng Ze has always told others that he is my husband. Although we don't have a real marriage, he has done a lot for me, including the first two years after the child was born. If it weren't for him, I might not have made it until now."

Bai Shunan smiled: "He shouldn't have done that. Knowing you were struggling, he should have taken the initiative to contact Han Yangting to take you and your daughter back."

Bai Shuruo said: "Xiaofeng is also very attached to him."

Bai Shunan sighed: "So, you refuse to accept Han Yangting because you and Meng Ze have already developed feelings?"

Bai Shuruo said: "I don't know either. Perhaps I've just gotten used to living like this. Maybe I'm just suited for a hard life."

Looking at Bai Shuruo's pained expression, Bai Shunan couldn't help but say: "Ruoruo, actually, you must know in your heart who you like and who you don't. No matter who you choose in the end or what kind of life you want to live, I support you. Just don't cut off contact with us again and let us worry about you every day. You don't know, these past few years, every time the anniversary of Mom and Dad's death comes around, I go to pay my respects to them, but I don't dare mention you to them. I only hope their spirits in heaven can bless you to be safe and sound."

Speaking of this, Bai Shuruo's tears flowed down again.

She apologized again: "I'm sorry, Sister, I was too selfish."

Bai Shunan placed her hand on Bai Shuruo's hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. Where is Xiaofeng? What time does she get out of school? Is it still in time for me to go buy her a gift now?"

"It's in time; she won't be back until evening."

"Is there a supermarket nearby?"

"Yes, I'll take you," Bai Shuruo said, wiping away her tears.

Although Bai Shunan had convinced herself that no matter who her sister chose or what kind of life she intended to live, she would respect it from the bottom of her heart.

However, when she saw the kindergarten Xiaofeng attended, she still couldn't help but blame Bai Shuruo again.

This kindergarten didn't even have a courtyard; it was just a single building. The main gate was usually closed and only opened at specific times, and there wasn't even a security guard.

Bai Shunan didn't dare to say anything more, fearing that if she said too much, her sister would be unhappy.

Bai Shuruo had actually already seen what her sister was thinking.

It was true; how could the kindergarten here compare to the good ones in Fengcheng? The kind that cost tens of thousands a year—Xiaofeng couldn't afford those.

Xiaofeng was currently attending one that cost a few hundred a month; a whole semester only came to a little over two thousand.

"Mom!" Seeing Bai Shuruo at the gate, Xiaofeng immediately ran over joyfully.

Seeing Bai Shunan beside Bai Shuruo, she couldn't help but become curious.

"Mom, this auntie is so pretty." Xiaofeng had seen many people at the guesthouse, but not many were as pretty and elegant as Bai Shunan.

Although she was young, her aesthetic sense was on point.

Bai Shunan squatted down and handed a newly bought teddy bear to Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, I am your eldest aunt. This little bear is for you. Your mom said you like watching Xiong Er the most."

Xiaofeng didn't take it, but looked at Bai Shuruo first.

Bai Shuruo smiled and said: "Xiaofeng, she really is your eldest aunt. You can take this gift."

Xiaofeng immediately became happy: "Thank you, Auntie. Why haven't I seen you before?"

Bai Shunan said: "It's all your mom's fault. She wouldn't contact us, and your mom and I are own sisters."

"Really?" Xiaofeng blinked her big eyes.

Bai Shuruo said: "Xiaofeng, it's Mom's fault for not telling you sooner. You not only have an eldest aunt, but also a little uncle and a grandmother."

Children like excitement and playing with relatives. Xiaofeng couldn't help but clap her hands happily: "Really? Then when can I see them in the future?"

"In a while, Mom will take you back to see them."

"Okay!" Xiaofeng hugged the stuffed bear and jumped for joy.

Bai Shunan added: "Xiaofeng, how about Auntie takes you to eat fried chicken and pizza?"

"Fried chicken? Fried chicken is the best," Xiaofeng said.

There were many snack streets near the ancient city, and there were also several fried chicken and pizza shops; children all liked to eat these things.

Bai Shunan took Ling Feng and Xiaofeng to eat these.

Because Bai Shuruo still had work to do, she didn't come along.

She knew her sister had good judgment and would definitely be able to take good care of Xiaofeng.

Moreover, she had begged her sister not to tell Ling Feng the true relationship between her and Meng Ze.
