âAsking me to plead with Jia Ruguang? Impossible!â Bai Susu said with a cold laugh.
Jia Ruguang is the eldest young master of the Jia Family and the most favored one. Heâs the Jia Familyâs only seedling, so thatâs why Jia Ruguang can act so recklessly.
âYouâ¦â Bai Ren, so angry that he slammed his chopsticks down on the table, glared furiously at Bai Susu across from him.
This little girl was really something else.
How dare she speak to him like this.
The education in the family had really proved to be a tremendous disappointment.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âUncle, you donât need to worry about this matter. My parents wonât force me anymore, so thereâs no room for discussion. I wonât go. Youâre just afraid of losing the glory and riches you hold, of having to live a hard life, but as for me, I donât care about those things. My happiness, I decide for myself!â Bai Susu firmly looked into her Uncle Bai Renâs eyes, enunciating every word.
She, Bai Susu, would choose her own destiny and happiness.
No one could force her to do something she didnât like or want to do.
Not even her own parents!
Call her selfish if you want, or say she lacks familial affection, but life happens only once. Why should she suppress her own happiness for some false sense of glory and riches that others desire?
We all live only once, so why sacrifice for such things.
Of course, sacrifice might be acceptable, provided itâs worth it.
These people, even my own uncle, treat me like this.
What about being a girl? Does that mean I have no rights?
At this moment, Bai Susu was seething with anger inside.
âYou⦠elder brother, look at the wonderful daughter youâve raised!â Bai Ren said with a livid face, turning to his elder brother.
Look at this family discipline.
Younger generations treating their elders like this, truly taking no heed of their seniority.
âLetâs eat, the dishes will get cold!â Bai Susuâs father, Bai Ao, said.
And truth be told, even if he and his brother Bai Ren stood on the same line, he wouldnât give Bai Ren any favors.
You need to know, this guy, whether in the company or in front of their father, always thwarted him.
So, letting his daughter give Bai Ren a hard time was also a way for him to save face, and naturally, he couldnât be bothered to intervene.
Havenât these Bai family members always just relied on the fact that they have a son, behaving so ostentatiously, always talking about how daughters are merely commodities to be married off, and sons are the ones to rely on? He had long wanted to punch someone whenever he heard this.
Every time Bai Ren and Zhao Yan heard such words, they felt distressed.
Originally, they had dragon-phoenix twins, but it was because the boy was delayed by just a few seconds that he was suffocated to death.
This has always been a deep pain in their hearts.
Every time they saw Bai Susu, they would think of the boy, and their hearts would ache unbearably.
Sometimes, they also wondered: what if their son had been born a few seconds earlier? Would the outcome have been different?
But these were only hypotheticals; there are no âifsâ in this world!
Everything is fated.
Towards Bai Susu, they felt both affection and resentment.
Alas.
At midnight, their regrets and pain intensified.
It was also because of that incident that Zhao Yan, Bai Susuâs mother, could no longer have children, and hence theyâve had only Bai Susu as their child ever since.
If it were possible, they too would have wanted a son.
But fate plays cruel tricks!
Fortunately, Bai Susu has been very promising!
In every aspect, she matched up to any boy, and that was the only consolation.
However, no matter how much she equaled a boy, she still was a girl, not a boy.
Her parents, Zhao Yan, had always remained silent, thinking back to the past with silent sighs.
She was their child; they hoped she could grow up safely, yet their hearts were terribly torn.
âEat what? Whatâs there to enjoy? Girls are inherently inferior to boys; this is a fact. Bai Susu, you had a brother, but because of you, your brother died. He died at birth, and your parents, my elder brother and sister-in-law, never told you, did they?â Bai Ren sneered as he spoke.
At these words, Bai Susu was instantly shocked!
Uncle, what does that mean?
She was somewhat confused!
Bai Susu looked incredulously at her uncle and then at her parents, noticing their faces turn ugly.
Could it be true?
She had a brother who died at birth?
Why did her uncle say it was she who caused her brotherâs death?
What was going on that she didnât know about?
Wasnât she supposed to be her parentsâ only child?
âNo, thatâs not right, youâre lying to me. Why hasnât anyone told me this? Wasnât I supposed to be my parentsâ only child?â Bai Susu said, her face pale.
âHmph, your mother was carrying dragon-phoenix twins. You were born first, and your brother died because he was born a few seconds too late, suffocated in the womb. Because of that, your motherâs body was damaged and she could no longer bear children. So, all this time, there has only been you. You caused your brotherâs death!â
âIf your brother had been born first, you wouldnât be here. Now, if that had happened, we would have him instead of you. The reason your parents are so harsh and strict with you, sometimes hot and cold, is because of this. You are the lifelong pain they see when they look at you, reminding them of the boy they lost!â
âIâve always said, no matter how hard a girl tries or how successful she is, she will never be a boy. And a large company like Bai Corporate Group needs a male heir to carry on, of course!â Bai Ren couldnât help smirking as he was blissfully unaware of Bai Susuâs pallor.
In the end, Bai Corporate Group would definitely fall into his or his sonâs hands.
âShut up!â Bai Ao stood up and yelled at Bai Ren, his aging face filled with gloom.
