Chapter 33: Bai Yunyun’s Plans

Liao Qing’s brow finally relaxed slightly, but she couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment. As long as she thought about how their family still depended on Liao Shiyun, she felt sick to her stomach.

“I just find it annoying.”

“Haha, if you find it annoying, just think about how miserable Bai Ruojiao is living in the countryside.”

Bai Yunyun curled her lips, smiling maliciously, “Think about how your enemy is showering your daughter with love, yet letting her own daughter suffer. Wouldn’t that make you feel better?”

Liao Qing thought about it and felt a little better. If Liao Shiyun knew that her precious daughter had been living so poorly all this time, her expression would definitely be interesting.

“Oh, right, there’s a letter for you from there.” Liao Qing said, turning to get the letter from the cabinet.

Seeing her daughter take the letter, she frowned, “You should contact them less in the future. Don’t let them find out. Anyway, Bai Ruojiao can’t turn things around now.”

Bai Yunyun shrugged, “What are you afraid of? As long as Bai Ruojiao doesn’t come back, and you and Dad don’t say anything, no one will know about it. I’m going to make sure Bai Ruojiao is trapped in the countryside forever, never to return.

But this letter reminds me. It’s time for me to ‘help’ Bai Ruojiao and send another letter to my eldest uncle. Recently, that little bitch Bai Ruoyan has been acting up. It’s time to put her mind at ease.”

She said this as she opened the envelope and took out the letter inside to read. But after reading it, she frowned tightly, her face showing a hint of impatience, but a gleam of thought flashed in her eyes.

“What’s wrong?” Liao Qing asked, seeing this.

Bai Yunyun handed her the letter.

Liao Qing read it and also frowned.

“She wants money again. It wasn’t long ago that we gave her some. She’s asking for 200 yuan right away. This Lin Qianqian’s appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Why doesn’t she just rob someone!”

Bai Yunyun bent down to pick up the letter that had been thrown on the floor and suddenly said, “Mom, give me two hundred yuan.”

Liao Qing’s brow furrowed tightly, and her face darkened. “Yunyun, you can’t indulge her like that. Besides, we don’t have much money. We can’t let her extort us like this. Why don’t I ask your second uncle to find a way to deal with her?”

But Bai Yunyun shook her head and suddenly became serious. “Mom, I have some news that I’m not sure about, but it’s highly likely.”

Liao Qing’s expression also became serious. “What news?”

“The college entrance exam might be reinstated.”

Liao Qing was stunned, then she reacted and her face changed. “How is that possible!”

“There’s nothing impossible. You know how many things have been happening recently. The situation is changing every day. We need to prepare in advance.”

Bai Yunyun was also a little agitated, but a sinister gleam flashed in her eyes.

Liao Qing knew her daughter too well. Seeing her expression, her heart immediately went up. “You, what are you planning to do?”

Bai Yunyun clenched the letter in her hand and gritted her teeth. “Mom, my eldest uncle just told me that the Finance Ministry Office may have two assistant editor positions in two months. I can’t miss this opportunity.”

Liao Qing pursed her lips tightly, but her hand trembled slightly.

“Well, it doesn’t have to be… This is a dangerous path, Yunyun. If you’re found out, you’re finished.”

Bai Yunyun took a deep breath, “Mom, we’ve already crossed the point of no return. From the day I stole Bai Ruojiao’s place at the Agricultural and Military University and made her go to the countryside, from the day we secretly sent her to other remote villages without telling my eldest uncle, from the day we cut off all contact with her, from the day we framed her and made her marry in the countryside, we’ve already crossed the point of no return!”

Liao Qing trembled, unconsciously taking a step back and leaning against the cabinet. She suddenly covered her head.

“We shouldn’t have… Anyway, you already got the university spot. If nothing had happened after that, we wouldn’t have to worry about this. Now we don’t have to…”

She was truly regretful now. She shouldn’t have been so blinded by jealousy back then, only wanting to compete with Liao Shiyun. As a result, she made one mistake after another.

Bai Yunyun, however, remained calm. “Mom, even if I had another chance, I would still do the same thing. Bai Ruojiao is my nemesis. Just like my eldest uncle and you, I don’t want to end up like you, being overshadowed by my eldest uncle for the rest of my life.”

“You…”

“Mom, it’s too late to regret now. We just need to take one last step, and we can completely eliminate the threat.”

Liao Qing’s lips trembled. She was still reluctant to let her daughter go down this path.

“Even if the college entrance exam is reinstated, she’s been in the countryside for so many years. She might not be able to get in.”

“What if she does get in? What if she comes back?” Bai Yunyun asked in a low, sharp voice.

Liao Qing clenched her fist, her face turning even paler.

But she still struggled desperately, “There’s also your grandma. She loves you so much. Even if your eldest uncle’s family makes a fuss, your grandma will definitely protect us.”

Bai Yunyun sneered, looking at her mother with a hint of mockery in her eyes. “Mom, have you forgotten about Grandpa? He loves Bai Ruojiao the most. If he finds out what we’ve done all these years, even Grandma won’t be safe.”

Hearing the word “Grandpa,” Liao Qing’s lips trembled. Finally, she closed her eyes weakly, as if she had resigned herself to fate.

Seeing this, Bai Yunyun knew that her mother had agreed. She relaxed her expression and chuckled.

“Don’t worry, Mom. As long as Bai Ruojiao is gone, and I get everything from my eldest uncle’s family, the Bai family will be ours in the future. Don’t think about it too much. I’ll go write the letter first. You bring the money later.”

She said this and turned to go into the house, her steps lighter.

She quickly wrote two letters. She didn’t even eat dinner. She went directly to her eldest uncle to get his seal.

Then, she sent one letter and tore up the other, crumpling it before taking it to the Planning Commission compound.

The Bai family’s eldest branch and Grandpa and Grandma lived in a three-story building in the east district of the Planning Commission compound.

At this time, only Liao Shiyun, Bai Ruoyan, who had come home for lunch, and the nanny, Zhang Ma, were at home.

Liao Shiyun was nagging her third daughter, as most mothers do, urging her to get married.

She was also worried. She had four children.

Except for her youngest daughter, who didn’t know anything, the other three were all over ten years old, and they were all still single.

She couldn’t say anything to her eldest daughter, who was in the army. Her eldest son had run off to another province, so she couldn’t say anything to him either. She could only nag her third daughter.

Bai Ruoyan ignored her, burying her head in her food.

“You and Zhi Cong are getting old. Anyway, you both have stable jobs now. Why don’t you just get your marriage license?”

Bai Ruoyan sighed, “Mom, Big Sister and Big Brother don’t have partners yet. You should be worried about them.”

Liao Shiyun glared at her, thinking that if she could control those two, she wouldn’t be waiting here.

At this time, she heard a knock on the door and the sound of Bai Yunyun and Zhang Ma talking.

Bai Ruoyan’s face darkened when she heard Bai Yunyun’s voice.

She raised her head and saw Bai Yunyun walking in with a smile. She immediately pulled a long face, pushed her bowl away, and went upstairs.

But she had only taken a few steps when she heard Bai Yunyun say,

“Eldest Aunt, Third Cousin, Qiaoqiao wrote a letter.”

She immediately stopped and turned around, walking quickly towards her, her eyes fixed on the envelope in her hand.
