Ever since the old man of the Bai family passed away, Bai Qirui went abroad and old lady Bai has been in a slump. She has fallen ill several times a year and rarely goes out.

The last time Bai Jinyu came back, she didn't suggest going to see her mother, and no one else mentioned it either.

But, after all, we are blood relatives, we can’t never see each other again.

After Shang Qichao said this, Bai Jinyu, who was originally tempted, made the decision without much hesitation.

Shang Qichao asked Shang Jianghan for his opinion again.

During the Chinese New Year last year, Bai Jinyu was in Zurich, and the Shang family father and son did not go there either, but someone sent them gifts.

It's reasonable to go and see it.

Shang Jianghan frowned, looking reluctant when the Bai family was mentioned.

"Go ahead and don't make things difficult for your mother." Shang Qichao finally made the decision.

Since Shang Jianghan is going, there is no reason for him not to bring his wife and children.

Shen Chaoxi has no feelings for the Bai family, but considering Bai Jinyuan, the teacher-student relationship cannot be lost.

She found a compromise.

"The kids haven't been to Chengxi Children's World yet. We can play there."

What he meant was that he wouldn’t stay in the Bai family for long.

After discussing it, the family drove four cars and went to the west of the city with the gifts.

After a 40-minute drive, we arrived at the Bai family villa at around 10 o'clock in the morning. The sun broke through the clouds and illuminated the earth, but the temperature was still not high.

Before coming to the Bai family villa, family called here and it was Bai Jinyuan who came out to greet us.

After not seeing her for a year, Bai Jinyuan had changed a lot. The thick light beige down jacket could not hide her pregnant belly.

The sisters wanted to see each other, and just a few words brought tears to their eyes.

"Come in quickly, Mom has been talking about you these past few days, saying that you didn't come even though you came back. Are you still mad at her? People get confused as they get older. No one told her that you were back, so I don't know how she sensed it!"

Bai Jinyuan took Bai Jinyu's hand and looked her up and down. It seemed that this sister had become a different person after not seeing her for a few years.

"Brother-in-law is here too. Jiang Han, Xixi, and Xiao Mingming are here too. Come in quickly. It's cold outside."

Bai Jinyuan was a little flattered by all these people coming at once.

The two sisters walked in front, and Bai Jinyu asked her how many months she was pregnant and why she hadn't seen Wen Zhaolin.

"It's more than seven months, and the due date is mid-April. Zhaolin is still in Jiangsu Province. His father had a serious fall, so he went back there during the Chinese New Year. It was not convenient for me, so I didn't go with him."

I have a lot to say but I don’t know where to start when we meet.

Several people entered the lobby on the first floor, and the aunt served them tea and said that the old lady was sleeping.

"My mom has been confused lately. I took her to the hospital for a checkup. They said it was a brain neuropathy, an old person's disease. There's no cure. I can only take medicine to relieve it. The medicine helps with sleeping, so I sleep more during the day."

Speaking of taking medicine, Bai Jinyu's fingers holding the cup turned white.

"Is my aunt still teaching in other provinces?" Shen Chaoxi asked.

"I'm back now. I'll report to Dongzhi No. 1 Middle School when school starts. But I can only hold a temporary post for now. I'll make plans after I give birth and return to school."

Bai Jinyu felt sorry for her sister traveling back and forth between the two places, so she clapped her hands and said, "That's good! I'll stay with you when you give birth!"

"Sister, you..." Bai Jinyuan realized it later and showed an expression of disbelief.

"I have already made an agreement with your brother-in-law and Jiang Han that I will not go to Zurich. My illness cannot be completely cured in a short time. Medical care in China is far superior to that over there. I can see my children often at home, and I feel better!"

As they were talking, the aunt said the old lady had woken up and asked the eldest daughter to go up.

The aunt at home was brought from the Bai family, and the name has not changed. Bai Jinyu hesitated for a while and refused Shang Qichao's company, "I will go up by myself. It's been a long time since we last met. I want to have a private talk with my mother."

After Bai Jinyu went upstairs, the topic turned to raising children.

Men don't get involved in this topic.

The merchant and his son went to one side to drink tea and chat.

However, less than ten minutes later, the sound of breaking porcelain was heard from upstairs.

Then, there was the old lady Bai's hoarse cry, which seemed to be mixed with words such as unfilial.

The door to the bedroom on the second floor was wide open, and Bai Jinyu's voice could be heard.

"So, for Bai Qirui and Bai Jingran, what do you think of me? Am I not your daughter? Are all the daughters of the Bai family going to be buried with him? You tampered with the medicine I used, leaving me in the control of the Bai family for decades. My younger sister is still unmarried at the age of 40? What has this family brought us? Why are you still thinking of using me?"

Bai Jinyu's voice was too excited and mixed with a sense of despair, lingering in the small space.

Shang Qichao and Shang Jianghan rushed forward immediately. Bai Jinyu's illness had finally improved and he couldn't be stimulated anymore.

Here, Bai Jinyuan stretched her stomach in a hurry and stood up suddenly, with a look of pain on her face. Shen Chaoxi asked someone to call an ambulance.

The noisy situation lasted for ten minutes before it ended.

When Bai Jinyu was half-hugged by Shang Qichao and walked down from upstairs, she was already in tears and her face was pale and bloodless.

Shen Chaoxi handed over a cup of warm water and saw that Bai Jinyu was trembling all over.

The old lady's voice on the second floor could be heard from time to time, and the aunt at home was already trying to comfort her.

Shang Zhuoming ran over and looked up at the adults.

He was still young and didn't understand what an argument was. He just felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, and his grandmother, who had always been smiling at him, was crying.

"Grandma!" The chubby little guy rubbed over, blinked his big eyes that looked like Shen Chaoxi, and called out timidly.

Grandma is crying and needs someone to comfort her. Grandpa seems angry. Dad is still upstairs and hasn't come down yet. Mom is taking care of my aunt.

"Don't cry, Grandma! I'll give you some chocolate!"

The little guy has a childish voice and a pair of big, clear eyes.

Bai Jinyu came back to her senses from her grief and anger. She was too excited just now and was on the verge of mental collapse. This call woke her up.

Thinking of the chocolate joke, Bai Jinyu burst into laughter and reached out to hold the child in her arms.

"Grandma, don't cry, and don't eat Mingming's chocolate."

Years ago, my family bought some candies, one of which was chocolate candy. Once the little one tasted it, he couldn't stop eating it and had to eat one bite every day.

Shen Chaoxi naturally wouldn't allow it. His little teeth hadn't grown fully yet, so he definitely couldn't eat sweets, especially candy.

So, the mother and daughter had their first unpleasant exchange. Finally, it was the aunt in the family who came up with a solution. She melted all the chocolate candies into a tiger mold and made tiger-shaped chocolates.

Shang Zhuoming’s favorite animal is the tiger. How could he bear to eat tiger chocolate? He put all the chocolates in an exquisite box and checked it every morning. He would not eat them himself, and others could not take them either.

The first person I had to share my beloved baby with was my grandmother.

Bai Jinyu was flattered, and her broken heart was healed by the child's words.

Half an hour later, the doctor checked and found that Bai Jinyuan was fine.

A New Year's visit to the Bai family ended in a mess, and the two sisters left at the same time.

When they parted at Bai Jinyuan's residence, she was hesitant to speak, but Bai Jinyu said, "Don't go there too often in the future. It's inconvenient for you. She has no worries about food and clothing over there, and she doesn't need us at all. But if you have any problems, remember that you still have me as your sister."
