Chapter 246: Do You Like Bai Mo?

"I remember your hometown isn't Huaiyang, right? How did you end up adopting a child from a Fuliyuan in Huaiyang?"

Si Rong asked with confusion.

Moreover, mentioning the Fuliyuan, she thought of how Li Xuan's granddaughter had also been sent to a Fuliyuan not long after Shen Chi was imprisoned.

It must be her overthinking; after all, how could such a coincidence exist in the world?

Most importantly, Li Xuan had seemed to say in her conversation back then that it was all her own fault that her child turned out that way, so Shen Chi's daughter was likely not quite normal.

Then it was even less likely to be Bai Mo.

Thinking this, Si Rong felt a sense of relief in her heart.

She had liked the child Bai Mo ever since they were on the Haidao, especially after experiencing that incident, and she hoped she could be safe and smooth-sailing in the future.

"My aunt helped me adopt her," Bai Mu recalled the old acquaintance, "I had been married for over ten years at that time and couldn't conceive, and later someone said that adopting a child would lead to being able to conceive."

Si Rong had also heard of this saying, "Then have you had a second child now?"

Bai Mu shook her head, "Since we adopted her, she is my child; we didn't have a second child."

Si Rong nodded, "Raising a child isn't easy; you truly cherish her."

She knew that some women who couldn't conceive would adopt someone else's child, then get pregnant and give birth to their own, and because of the difference between biological and adopted, they would eventually even send the adopted child back to the Fuliyuan.

People like Bai Fu and Bai Mu who would stop having children for the sake of an adopted daughter were a very small minority.

Perhaps it was a little compensation from the heavens for this poor child, Bai Mo.

The children were playing happily, and they also had a very pleasant dinner together.

However, Jiang Siyu was a bit speechless; her brother was quite normal when facing others, but he was a bit pretentious in front of Bai Mo.

"Brother, why aren't you changing your slippers?"

She asked Jiang Sinian in a low voice.

Jiang Sinian, "Mind your own business!"

"Brother, when you just put the bamboo shoots in front of Bai Mo, do you know what you looked like?"

"What?"

"A sycophant."

Jiang Sinian:...

"Brother, do you like Bai Mo?"

Jiang Sinian's expression changed drastically, "Shut up!"

Seeing him get anxious, Jiang Siyu knew she had guessed correctly.

Bai Mo was very beautiful, and she liked her too, but what about Jiang Yue?

Friendships also have degrees of closeness; she grew up with Jiang Yue, so naturally, her heart leaned more toward Jiang Yue.

But her brother was clearly more special toward Bai Mo.

"Dad, you're taking me to school today?" Kong Nuo was a bit surprised.

He went by himself when he was in elementary school, and now that he was in middle school, his dad was suddenly having a whim to take him?

"Yes, Dad hasn't cared enough about you before." Shen Chi put on a set of clothes that he considered decent, "Not just me, your mom is going too."

They wanted to see that girl and what exactly she looked like to be able to bewitch their son.

Kong Nuo:...

He felt a bit at a loss.

But his parents insisted on going, and his objections were of no use.

After a period of epidemic prevention, Huaiyang was seeing initial results.

It was no longer as strictly controlled as it was before the new year; as long as one wore a mask, they could go out on the street.

Many students had already arrived at the small woods one after another, and Shen Chi and Lin Meixi stood there looking around.

Kong Nuo pointed to that slender figure from afar, "That is Bai Mo."

The girl was dressed plainly, just wearing a light yellow cotton jacket and jeans, but she appeared very elegant because of that face.

Shen Chi and Lin Meixi exchanged a look, and then their eyes fell on the girl in unison.

For some reason, as Shen Chi looked at this girl, he inexplicably felt a sense of closeness.

However, he didn't think too much about it, only thinking that perhaps it was because the girl was likable.

His son really had good taste.

Lin Meixi, however, was not very satisfied when she saw the girl, and only after the girl walked away with her classmates did she speak beside Shen Chi.

"At such a young age, she has a scent of a vixen; she definitely wasn't born to a decent woman!"

If she were a decent girl, could she have hooked her son's soul at such a young age?

Now Lin Meixi believed the saying that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were natural enemies.

All these years she had painstakingly raised her son, and now that he was about to become an adult, his heart had begun to hold someone else's daughter.

"Don't say that," Shen Chi had never liked her way of speaking, "The little girl hasn't provoked you."

Those words made him unhappy to hear.

"Oh! She hasn't even entered the door yet, and she's already hooked the hearts of both you and your son; if she really marries in later, I don't think there will be a place for me in this house."

These words were too unpleasant; Shen Chi pulled her toward home, "You foul woman, have you forgotten why we came here today?"

She only knew how to be jealous for no reason.

Reminded by him, Lin Meixi remembered her purpose for today and shut her mouth.

"Although that girl is a bit unworthy of our son, since that kid Jiang Sinian wants to compete with our son, then our son must win!"

Her life was just like this, but her son was still young; there was no reason for him to be inferior to Jiang Sinian in every aspect.

It was Si Rong who was heartless first; a mother's debts are paid by her children, and now her son shouldn't expect things to go his way.

"Hello, classmate."

After class, Kong Nuo took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Bai Mo, holding a ten-yuan note in his hand.

"You dropped your money."

Bai Mo felt her pocket, and since the few yuan in change were all there, she shook her head, "It isn't money I dropped; you should hand it to the teacher, classmate!"

Kong Nuo:...

That was his.

But since Bai Mo had said so, Kong Nuo had no choice but to hand it to the teacher under her gaze.

The teacher asked around the class, and when no one claimed the money, he tucked the ten yuan into his own pocket.

That was his allowance for an entire week!

He had originally intended to use the opportunity to talk to Bai Mo a bit more and become friends, but he hadn't expected her to have such a personality.

If it were his mother, she would definitely insist that it was the money she had dropped.

Thus, Bai Mo became even more special in Kong Nuo's eyes.

He watched Bai Mo during class and watched Bai Mo after class, yet Bai Mo's gaze rarely landed on him.

She was always following that show-off Jiang Sinian, and Kong Nuo felt increasingly dissatisfied with Jiang Sinian in his heart.

He thought, if only Jiang Sinian didn't exist in this world.

That way, Bai Mo would look at him, Mom and Dad would also be very happy, and everyone would be happy.

"Classmate Jiang Siyu, come up to the front of the podium and write out this problem!" the male teacher asked.

Jiang Siyu's face was as embarrassed and flushed as a sunset glow, "Teacher, I'm not feeling well today; could I go write it another day?"

In the small grove, students from many classes looked over toward Jiang Siyu.

The male teacher felt he was losing face and tapped the blackboard with a wooden stick, "It's just writing one problem; I believe your body can hold out."

"Teacher, I really am not feeling well," Jiang Siyu sat there, on the verge of tears.

She had felt a stomachache as soon as class started today, and soon the stool was soaked through.

She had started her period.

She had been praying in her heart that the teacher wouldn't call on her to answer questions, but she hadn't expected to be so unlucky as to be asked to go to the podium.

Many students began to whisper, and Yao Xiaotang let out a cold snort.

Let this Jiang Siyu be arrogant just because she has a good family background!

The teacher should really teach her a lesson!
