Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Kaiwen’s Considerations (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets) Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Kaiwen’s Considerations (Extra Chapter for Monthly Tickets) Shang Feng shook his head, “The circumstances back then didn’t allow it…”
Bai Xiao sneered, “Are you saying that I, as a child, didn’t understand things? No matter how poor the conditions were, at least someone had to know who the child’s father was, right? It can’t be that if you claim to be the father, you’re the father, right? At most my younger uncle’s words can only prove that I was indeed adopted by my parents, but he absolutely has no way to prove you are my biological father.”
Bai Jianguo was at a loss for words; he accepted someone’s money to do their bidding, and now Bai Xiao’s speech had truly left no room for sophistry or denial.
“It’s not like that, I really am your father. Back then, your mother and I were a couple, a lot of people knew about it.”
Shang Feng panicked, even bringing up witnesses and Bai Xiao could still deny them.
Bai Jianguo nodded repeatedly.
“Yes, yes, how could I lie about such a thing? Now I remember, there is someone else who can prove that Mr. Shang here is indeed your father.” Bai Jianguo was too anxious, he had to make sure that the money that had made it into his pocket was not going to fly away.
He was now ready to do anything, even commit murder and arson.
Shang Feng’s eyes lit up, right, wasn’t there an old lady?
He nodded vigorously.
Watching Bai Xiao from the sidelines, Shang Kaiwen felt a chill in her heart.
This Bai Xiao was no simple character. Even though she was just 20 years old, Kaiwen had indeed underestimated her initially.
She thought that a child from the countryside would be naive and short-sighted.
Otherwise, why would she not attend a proper university and instead go for some class? Just this narrow-mindedness revealed much about a person’s shortsightedness, limiting their future development.
She hadn’t taken Bai Xiao seriously at all.
According to her guess, although Bai Xiao refused to recognize her father, it was probably because of emotional issues, considering they had investigated Bai Xiao’s entire life from birth until now. This girl hadn’t had an easy time in the village, mistreated by her younger uncle’s family, with her grandmother adding fuel to the fire, exploiting her.
Such a harsh environment for growth could easily twist a person’s character.
Therefore, it seemed only natural for her to reject her father.
But today was a thorough eye-opener. Bai Xiao was able to face her father, confront the malicious Bai Jianguo, and remain calm and composed, discussing the matter with ease. With such a stable temperament and cool method of thinking, to say she was just a simple country girl would be something she’d never believe.
Even now, with Bai Jianguo’s testimony laid out, she still managed to stay calm and composed, pointing out the inconsistencies. A girl like that, she thought, would definitely not be a minor character content with inferiority in the future.
Plus, with the backing of An Zhiyuan and the An Family, Bai Xiao’s future development might progress by leaps and bounds.
Nobody could say for sure where this girl might end up, what position she might attain.
It seemed they would really need to put forth some effort to bring her back into the fold.
Bai Xiao made her feel it was essential; her own brother was already gone.
Among the Shang Family’s next generation, aside from herself, there were no particularly clever and capable individuals. If Bai Xiao were added, along with the support from her background,
she felt very confident that she could lead the Shang Family to even greater heights in this generation.
She needed someone capable who could assist her.
Now it appeared that Bai Xiao was the perfect candidate, without a doubt.
Moreover, Bai Xiao herself had great value.
This girl had saved people several times, all of whom were influential and powerful.
If they could establish relationships through her in the future, how could the Shang Family not become more glorious?
