THE REAL RICH DAUGHTER IS EXPOSED AT A VARIETY SHOW

Chapter 1

Zhao Yuan looked at Bai Xi feeling sorry for her.

She was wearing a long white dress and her face was fair and delicate. She was holding a glass of warm water and staring at her feet.

“Mom, I’m fine. I’m also looking forward to seeing jiejie again.”

“Lingling, don’t worry. Mommy will always love you,” Zhao Yuan sighed, “My dear child, you don’t have to be afraid when you’re with mommy. If she does anything bad to you again, I’ll send her back!”

Zhao Yuan was very biased. She had only seen one of them a handful of times, while she had raised another for more than 20 years. Naturally, Bai Xi was more important.

Bai Lin was the real daughter who had been taken away by mistake. She was only taken back into the Bai Family when she was eight years old. However, she did not have the slightest manners and caused chaos in the Bai Family. She had even deliberately used hot water to scald Bai Xi.

Zhao Yuan guessed that she was jealous about how Bai Xi was doted on despite having no blood relationship with the Bai Family, thus the vicious treatment.

The Bai Family’s way of dealing with such a vicious person was to send Bai Lin to the countryside, and 12 years had passed now in a blink of eyes.

It was only then Bai Xi wore some hints of a smile. She moved closer and comforted her mother, “Jiejie was young and insensible at that time. She didn’t splash the hot water on me on purpose.”

The young man with a buzz cut, who was playing games on the couch, huffed angrily, “Jie, it’s because you’re too nice that you’re being stepped over and shat on by the barbaric wild bird.”

Zhao Yuan glared at him. “What are you talking about?!”

Bai Shao had just finished a round of his game when he ran over to sit next to Bai Xi, telling Zhao Yuan, “Mom, I really don’t know what you’re thinking. Even I can tell that she’s back with ulterior motives. She probably only wants money. Why did you let her come back?”

Bai Xi patted Bai Shao’s arm with a frown and said softly, “Xiao Shao, Bai Lin’s your biological elder sister, after all. I’m the unnecessary person here. All these years, I’ve taken her place and being indulged by the family, but I’ve never felt at ease. Now that she’s back, I’m returning what I should return to her. It’s alright.”

Bai Xi pursed her lips into a smile after speaking but worry clouded her gaze.

Bai Shao was resentful of his biological sister, whom he had no impression of since a long time ago. “For her to be my sister? Does she deserve to be one? She’s just a piece of trash. How could she be compared to you?”

“Bai Shao!” Zhao Yuan scolded.

“What did I say wrong?” Bai Shao retorted, “She dropped out of high school before she could even finish it. Now that she’s doing badly, she’s coming home to ask for money. She’s not like my Lingling-jie, so pretty and outstanding, and is famous in the showbiz with just one TV drama. She’s worthy of being called the showbiz fairy.”

Zhao Yuan was not taking Bai Lin’s side saying what she did, so she helplessly said, “You’re a member of the Bai Family still. You should be more polite.”

Bai Shao sneered and picked up his phone again for another round of game. “Fine, fine. But I’ll say this in advance. I only have one sister, Bai Xi. Don’t even think about making me call that person my sis.”

Bai Xi’s lips curled up promptly but she picked up the teacup to hide it.

…

Someone knocked on the door.
