Listening to his words, it seemed as if he feared being misunderstood as being not good to his daughter.

"Yes ah mom, don't talk like that about elder sister." Bai Mengru then said, "sister didn't have it easy, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't have suffered this many hardships, it's all my fault..."

Father Bai interrupted Bai Mengru's words, taking pity on her self-blame: "Mengru, what nonsense are you talking?! You're also a good child! You mother-and-daughter pair have suffered a lot following me, it's me who should compensate you..."

Bai Zhen Zhen clamped a meatball with her chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, practically gnashing her teeth as she chewed.

What kind of logic was that, you should compensate them, then what about your daughter?! Trading your daughter's future to have piece of mind regarding them, the mother and daughter?! Because it was your own biological daughter, therefore you felt it was reasonable?!

Bai Zhen Zhen: "I have some words to say to this MF but I'm not sure if it would be unacceptable."

---System: "Host, the system warns you: use of offensive language."

---Bai Zhen Zhen: "Bah, in any case I have already arranged the matters for his treatment. I will leave tomorrow on a business trip, what the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over."

"Zhen Zhen ah..." Looking from the side at the play of the Bai family's ethics, Elder Huo spoke.

He called Bai Zhen Zhen and beckoned to her: "Come here."

Bai Zhen Zhen didn't understand what Elder Huo wanted to do, but she still got up and walked to his side.

Elder Huo raised his head to look at her, slowly pulled her hand, and said softly: "All these years, you have gone through a lot of hardships..."

Bai Zhen Zhen was dazed for a moment.

She saw the praise and also the pity inside Elder Huo's eyes, as sincere as his tone.

"Zhen Zhen, you are a strong and independent good child! You're not afraid of hardship or weariness. At such a young age, you have already accumulated so much work experience. You also help with your family's life expenses. Grandpa likes you!" Elder Huo continued.

At the side, Huo Xiang watched his grandfather and Bai Zhen Zhen being all smiles, this scene warmed his heart.

Yang Suping was dumbstruck. She laughed "hehe" and said: "Elder Huo, you truly have the heart of Bodhisattva ah! Our family's Zhen Zhen cannot be shown in public, yet not only you do not disdain her, but even praise her ne!"

"Zhen Zhen is such a good girl, why would I disdain her?" Elder Huo asked, his eyes staring deeply at Yang Suping.

"That... that's not..." Yang Suping was a bit uncomfortable as she spoke, "aiya, I'm not ashamed to speak! She's a girl who entered the society before being fully grown, who knows what she might have experience ah...... "

"Aunt Yang!" Bai Zhen Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, and sternly interrupted Yang Suping's words, about to start dissing:

She couldn't diss her dad, couldn't she roast this Yang Suping?!

Unexpectedly, Elder Huo patted her hand, and said with a smile: "Zhen Zhen, don't be angry."

Then he looked at Yang Suping, his smile faded immediately.

"Ms. Yang's words just now were a bit excessive. I have never seen a mother- even if stepmother-, saying that to her daughter." Elder Huo said, and looked at Father Bai again, "and also this type of father, staying at the side without saying a word."

"I, I was afraid you did not understand the situation, so I was giving you a heads-up..." Yang Suping said mockingly.

"I already understand the situation very clearly," Elder Huo said, "she is a kindhearted, honest and tenacious girl. For my grandson to have married such a good wife, I am very honored."

"But Zhen Zhen ah, you're a bit bad..." Elder Huo said, pretending to be serious: "Others bully you because of your kindness, you have to talk back ah! Kindness is a good quality, but it doesn't mean blind sacrifice or currying favor, do you understand?"

"Elder Huo, hearing what you said, it's as if the Bai family has treated her unfairly..."

"Ms. Yang." Yang Suping's words were interrupted by Elder Huo once again, "if you still want to treat my granddaughter-in-law with this attitude, as the grandfather, I have no other choice but to ask you to leave."

Huo Xiang was gaping at the side.

He always thought that his dissing skills were pretty good, but he didn't expect the ginger to get spicier as it got olderah!

---Bai Zhen Zhen: "What's going on? Elder Huo is going so far as to speaking up for me? This couldn't be again because of the settings of charming everyone right?!"

---System: "Host, you think too much, Elder Huo is already 70 yeard old..."

---Bai Zhen Zhen: "Then this is...."

---System: "I think he really acknowledges you."

The rim of Zhen Zhen's eyes felt warm.

What a kind and benevolent old man ah.
