This is his sister, his two sisters, always coming to bring him down, he couldn’t believe it!
So, he pinned his hopes on his mom, and in order to get her genuine thoughts, he even prepared to act a bit spoiled.
"Mom, do you think, do I look like the old lady?"
Not only was his tone excessively coquettish, he even imitated others by batting his eyes.
Bai Zhi and the other two had no idea what their aunt was thinking at that moment, but they felt like vomiting. It was a bit worldview-shattering.
This version of Bai Xiang was definitely not the Bai Xiang they knew, and the same went for Aunt Li Sisi.
She felt that her son must have lost his mind.
"I think you’re out of your mind."
When it came to snapping at her son, she always went all out and saw no issue with it.
"Sometimes, I even doubt whether you’re really my child or if someone switched you at birth.
Otherwise, why is everyone else’s skin so fair and clear, and only you are so dark, Bai Xiang? Tell me, were you picked up somewhere?"
Li Sisi stroked her chin, her pale face displaying unprecedented seriousness.
So after inexplicably turning into his twenties or thirties, he had become adopted?
All he did was feel that being too pale wasn’t good, so he just let himself sunbathe every day, right?
"Mom, I’ve been wondering about this too,"
Mutual hurt, who’s afraid of who.
"Oh, really? Then you can leave, picked-up child. The front door is right behind you."
Li Sisi pointed directly to the door, meaning, "Feel free not to let it hit you on the way out."
Bai Xiang felt that he definitely wasn’t her biological child, he couldn’t be, not with the kind of things she said.
"Mom, instantly, there’s no mother-son affection."
His heart was really chilled to the core.
"We never had that, hurry up. Come wash your face, or else you’re not eating dinner, just get lost."
Li Sisi gave a cold laugh and bluntly spoke, basically saying if you don’t wash up, then you don’t eat.
In the end, Bai Xiang was forced to wash his face.
There was just enough of the facial product Bai Zhi had given them; indeed, after they applied it and washed their faces again, they really did look whiter, visibly so.
And their skin became much softer; especially Li Sisi, who was exceptionally happy. It felt incredibly good; she had forgotten her skin could ever be this nice.
Bai Xiang also washed up, lightening his complexion significantly, even his acne seemed much relieved. Was it his imagination?
"Ah, now you look like my son."
Bai Xiang: "..." But you just said I was picked up.
As soon as Bai Guang came home, he saw his radiant and incredibly beautiful wife.
Seeing that, they thought, "Bai Guang is really dark," and Li Sisi decided she’d be their first customer.
Back at home, Ye Xiu had already prepared dinner. Bai Zhi felt a bit uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"I’m sorry, and thank you."
Her words made Ye Xiu quite uncomfortable. It was only right for her to cook a meal for her daughter, but Xingxing always acted so formally.
"Xingxing, this is what I should do."
Ye Xiu put down her chopsticks and sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Xingxing, whatever happened in the past, I was wrong, and it can’t be undone, but from now on, whatever I should do, I will do. You don’t need to be so formal."
In that moment, Ye Xiu seemed changed yet unchanged; it was a feeling.
Bai Zhi always felt like something was different.
"Oh, but I’m used to being polite."
