Chapter 252: Li Jianmei Has Been Waiting There

"Stop her!"

Si Rong did not know why this person was acting crazy again; there were guests and children in the house now, and she would not allow her to run wild.

While Xiao Yu was at a loss, Ming Zi had already picked up a broom with one hand and blocked Li Xuan.

"Want to harm people again? Hmm? You don't think everyone is a fool, do you?"

She gave Li Xuan a push; truthfully, she did not use much force at all, but Li Xuan fell directly to the ground.

Ming Zi:...

Oh no, this old thing wants to frame someone!

She took a step back, but for once, Li Xuan did not try to turn the tables.

She only said, "Let me in, I want to say a few words to the little girl who just entered your house."

Si Rong glanced toward the direction of the main room; Li Xuan was referring to Bai Mo.

What did she want to say to Bai Mo?

In a flash, Si Rong felt she had grasped something, but the thought flitted by as quickly as light and shadow.

She felt that Ming Zi was right; Li Xuan must be wanting to harm someone again!

"Where did this little girl come from? Who you want to talk to is your business, but you cannot enter my house; your heart is deep and vicious, and I have to be on guard."

After Si Rong said this with a cold face, she had Xiao Yu close the courtyard gate.

Li Xuan had no choice but to stay at the entrance and wait.

Did Si Rong think that by not letting her see her, she wouldn't be able to? She would just wait at the door today, hmph!

Wan Fang was a smart person who knew not to ask what shouldn't be asked, and she soon took her son and said goodbye.

"What exactly is she trying to do?" Ming Zi was worried about Si Rong and stayed behind to help analyze Li Xuan's motives.

When this woman was young, her motive for doing bad things was to scheme against and envy Si Rong, but as she grew older and her life became more miserable, her actions became increasingly unfathomable.

For a moment, it was truly hard to guess what she was up to.

"Could it be that she wants to get in to do something to that girl, and then frame you for it?"

Ming Zi speculated.

Si Rong shook her head; Li Xuan was getting more neurotic as she aged. Her gaze fell on Bai Mo.

Sunlight fell on the sofa, and Bai Mo was covering her mouth and laughing; she didn't know what joke Jiang Siyu had told to make her laugh non-stop.

Her profile gave Si Rong a very familiar feeling.

Shen Yuan?

A person she hadn't thought of for a long time suddenly appeared in Si Rong's mind.

Could it be...

The previous conjecture made Si Rong feel somewhat restless, and she quietly told Ming Zi.

"It really does look like her, especially when she laughs," after being prompted, Ming Zi also felt they looked alike.

"Could such a good child have been born to those two heartless things? That would truly be a stroke of terrible luck."

Si Rong recalled that when she was chatting with Bai Mu earlier, she learned that the couple had not had biological children of their own because they wanted to adopt a daughter, and she had even remarked that the child was blessed.

Thinking of it now, it really lived up to the old saying.

Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise; blessing may be a misfortune in ambush.

I only fear that if she really is the child of Shen Chi and Lin Meixi, Li Xuan's attitude means she wants to take the child back.

It makes sense; after ignoring her for so many years, now that she is grown, she can be married off in a few years to exchange for a bride price.

In her heart, she did not hope that Bai Mo was the daughter of Shen Chi and Lin Meixi.

Nor did she want someone as good as Bai Mu to see years of hard work and love destroyed in an instant.

"Then what are you planning to do?" Ming Zi raised her chin and asked Si Rong, "Li Jianmei is waiting expectantly at the door."

Si Rong picked up the phone on the sofa and called Bai Mu.

Before long, Bai Mu and Bai Fu arrived together.

"What's wrong?"

After rushing over, Bai Mu asked Si Rong anxiously.

On the phone just now, Si Rong only told her that Bai Mo had a very urgent matter here.

Si Rong took them to the study upstairs to avoid the children noticing, and asked, "Do you remember when I asked you before why you wanted to adopt a child from the Huaiyang Welfare Institute?"

Bai Mu's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded, "I remember."

"You saw the woman at the door when you came in, right?"

Si Rong did not beat around the bush, "Back then, she sent her granddaughter, who was only a few days old, to the welfare institute. Today, she followed behind Bai Mo all the way to my house, and I haven't let her in yet."

The meaning of these words was very clear.

Bai Mu was so frightened that her hands trembled and tears slid down, "Is, is she trying to take Momo back? When Momo was first brought to me, she was a tiny little thing, and her lungs had problems. We spent so much effort to carefully raise her. No, no! I absolutely cannot let Momo leave me!"

"Yes! I called you over now to think of a way together," Si Rong saw that her emotions were unstable and said hurriedly, "To tell you the truth, the woman outside is an old acquaintance of mine. The grievances between us cannot be explained in a few words, but I do not want to let her take Momo away."

"Let's take Momo and leave!" Bai Mu grabbed Bai Fu's arm and said, "As long as we don't stay in Huaiyang, they naturally won't be able to snatch my Momo away."

Bai Fu saw her crying uncontrollably and felt distressed himself, "Calm down first."

You can hide for a while, but you cannot hide for a lifetime.

His wife was also caught off guard by hearing this suddenly and couldn't accept it for a moment, but in fact, he and his wife had discussed the issue of the child's background before.

When the child turned eighteen, they would tell her about her background.

Whether she accepted it or not was one thing.

But since a person comes into this world once, they did not want Momo to be kept in the dark for a lifetime.

"For now, we don't want her to know of Momo's existence," Bai Fu thought for a moment and said, "I think this is also the reason why the Commander's Wife called us here."

"We didn't intend to hide it from Mo Mo for her whole life; it's just that Mo Mo is still young, and we don't believe that the family who could send their child to the Fuliyuan back then would treat Mo Mo well."

"Mm, I feel the same way."

Si Rong thought for a moment, "Since she is guarding my front door, you all just shouldn't leave through the main gate."

Bai Mu wiped her tears with her sleeve, "Then where else can we leave from?"

Si Rong made a phone call to Fang Ting, and very quickly, a ladder was set up on that side.

Upon learning that they were going to use a ladder to go home, Bai Mo was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"How fun it is to take the ladder!" Bai Fu said.

Bai Mo:...

Her dad really is an old rascal.

"The lock on my front door is broken and won't open; I have to find a locksmith to fix it later, so you all go through neighbor Fang's house first."

Jiang Yue led Bai Mo, "Don't be afraid, I'll go over first and catch you on the other side."

"Okay."

Just like that, the three members of the Bai family left from Fang Ting's house.

Li Xuan sat at Si Rong's house until it turned dark; she had watched that girl go in with her own eyes, so she didn't believe she wouldn't be able to wait for her.

However, although it was already the start of spring, it was still bitterly cold at night.

The cotton-padded jacket on Li Xuan was already very worn and no longer kept her warm, so she had no choice but to squat there, trying her best to make the jacket cover as much of her as possible.

"Yo! Are you hatching eggs here?" Ming Zi opened the door and walked out, looking at Li Xuan as if she were watching a monkey.

Li Xuan knew Ming Zi had a poisonous tongue and, not wanting to pay her any mind, turned in a different direction.

"Still turning in circles to hatch them?"
