âShut up!â Bai Ao stood up and yelled at Bai Ren, his slightly aged face filled with gloom.
This younger brother was really getting out of hand.
Spilling everything like this.
If they had wanted to tell Bai Susu, they would have done so long ago. Did they really have to wait for Bai Ren to do it?
He really didnât understand what the point was in bringing this up now.
At this moment, Bai Ao was truly furious!
Bai Susuâs mother, Sun Jiao, also started to wipe away tears in an instant.
They had intentionally kept it a secret from Bai Susu, and yet, the truth had still come out.
Alas, it had come from the mouth of Bai Susuâs second uncle.
Now, what should they do?
Meanwhile, Bai Susuâs second aunt, Zhao Yan, didnât say anything. She just gently tugged at her husbandâs sleeve.
Now was really not the time for such talk.
Ah, Bai Ren was too impulsive.
They say impulsiveness is the devil, and indeed, not a word of it was wrong.
âMom, Dad, is what Second Uncle said true?â
âDoi really have a brother, and because of me, mybrother didnât survive, and thatâs why you, Mom, canât have anymore children? Is that true?â Bai Susu said slowly, looking at them both.
Tears were already whirling in her eyes, as if they would fall at any second.
She really couldnât believe it was true!
How could this be!
In fact, Bai Susuâs heart already knew it was true.
After all, the expressions on her second uncle and parentsâ faces were so ugly.
But she still wanted to hear it from her own parents, whether it was really true or not.
Her own brotherâ¦
âYes, that year, your mother was indeed pregnant with twins, but because of a few seconds of hesitation, he didnât make it,â Baiâs father said slowly at that moment.
Now that it had come this far, what did it matter whether they admitted it or not?
The conversation had reached this point; they just had to grit their teeth and continue.
Besides, even if they didnât admit it, Bai Susu already knew the truth.
There was no point in trying to cover it up anymore.
Bai Susu, shocked, looked at her father. Her mind was in complete disarray.
No wonder her parents sometimes sighed for no reason when they looked at her or seemed so regretful.
Many times, when her parents looked at her, it was as if they were looking at someone else.
Their eyes on her, but through her, as if seeing another person. She thought she was overthinking it before, but now she understood there was a reason.
Bai Susu finally understood why, no matter how hard she tried, no matter how she performed in front of her parents, no matter how strictly she demanded herself to do better, her parents never offered a word of praise, and they were always dissatisfied, feeling that she wasnât good enough.
It turned out that all of this was because of her birth, and her brotherâ¦
Bai Susu was really feeling disappointed, sad, upset, and heartbroken.
Spite doing her best, she still couldnât meet her parentsâ expectations. So, that was the reality.
She had always thought that her parents were strict out of tough love, or that any parent would want their child to succeed greatly.
Truly, Bai Susuâs heart was in turmoil right now.
She was a bit at a loss for what to do.
âSo, after all these years, all the cold and hot treatment, your harshness towards me without a hint of affection, is because you believe I caused my brotherâs death. You regret and are upset that it wasnât my brother who came out first, right?â Bai Susu said to her parents with great disappointment, as tears instantly began to fall.
How could this be!
Why was this the truth!
Why did she have to know about this, why!
Wouldnât it have been better to keep it hidden forever?
At this moment, Bai Susu truly felt how helpless, disappointed, and desolate she was!
So, all these years, her parents had actually resented her.
So that was it!
âDaughter, listen to us. We really havenât blamed you. Itâs not your fault, truly!â Baiâs mother said, holding back her tears.
There was no choice; they now had to rely on Bai Susu.
They couldnât let things become chaotic.
It was all Bai Renâs fault. What on earth was he thinking? Didnât he realize how critical this moment was?
Why bring this up!
It would only make Bai Susuâs mood worse and make things even more difficult.
Besides, wasnât this the plan they had agreed upon?
Everything was fine just a second ago, and then this unexpected situation arose.
Now, what were they supposed to do?
âSusu, donât blame yourself; this is fate. We all understand this. Donât be sad. Your second uncle doesnât know how to speak!â Bai Ao scolded his brother,
âArenât you going to leave yet? Youâre not welcome in my house!â Bai Ao said to Bai Ren.
His younger brother really had no tact.
How could he say such a thing!
Truly, a person could be both infuriating and frustrating.
So inept at doing well, but so proficient at causing trouble!
Ironically, they had considered asking them for help, but now, wasnât that just inviting chaos?
At that moment, Bai Ao truly regretted everything!
Looking at Bai Ren, he was so angry he felt like punching him to vent his anger.
âGet out, donât stick around in our house. Although youâre my brother, your words are too harsh. Itâs not your place to meddle in our family matters!â Bai Ao said sternly once again.
âFine, Iâll go!â Bai Ren retorted angrily, pulling his wife along as they left.
Upon leaving, Bai Renâs wife looked helplessly at him.
