The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 598: Old Madam Bai’s Favouritism

Bai Zihao met Xiao Shuchun while he travelled there. It was like falling in love at first sight. They worked on the relationship together. They faced problems together until they got married.

Of course, Old Madam Bai did not like Xiao Shuchun because she was not from an influential and powerful family. However, because of Bai Zihao insisted to get married to Xiao Shuchun, she was reluctantly giving them her permission. Yes, permission. Not blessing. That was probably why Old Madam Bai did not like Bai Yongnian and Bai Huizhong.

Bai Yongnian really did not care if he lost her grandmother. It was not like he had a loving grandmother, to begin with. He could see that Old Madam Bai favoured Bai Shaoqing so much.

There was one time that he really saw Old Madam Bai’s favouritism. His father bought a toy for Bai Huizhong. Bai Huizhong loved that toy very much. However, as soon as Bai Shaoqing’s eyes laid on Bai Huizhong’s toy, he threw a tantrum.

Bai Shaoqing demanded the toy to be given to him. Yes, demanding, not sharing. Of course, Bai Huizhong refused at that time. He was a kid. Someone wanted to snatch his toy, of course, she would refuse.

However, Old Madam Bai hit Bai Huizhong and snatched the toy directly from Bai Huizhong’s hand and gave it to Bai Shaoqing. He went to grab the toy back but he was being kicked by Old Madam Bai.

Xiao Shuchun saw this scene and rushed to get her sons. She was angry at his mother-in-law. Bai Yongnian saw her mother argue with Old Madam Bai.

Old Madam Bai took the toy from Bai Shaoqing’s hand and threw it to the ground, smacking it into pieces. Of course, Bai Shaoqing cried when he saw that the toy he had just got was smacked into pieces. Old Madam Bai coaxed him by saying she would buy him something better. If she could buy something better for Bai Shaoqing, why did she do it earlier instead of grabbing his younger brother’s toy?

At that time, he really hated his own grandmother. He asked her mother about that. Seeing her mother had difficulty answering it, he understood. Old Madam Bai did not like him and his younger brother.

So, why bother to act like a filial grandson? He spoke even less to Old Madam Bai. And Old Madam Bai did not notice anything at all. Meaning she did not care at all.

....

The news where Bai Guowei being beaten by several people separated among people. Some of them inquired as to why he was beaten up. They were speechless as they got the answer. They felt that he deserved it.

Bai Guowei woke up. He groaned in pain as he tried to stand up.

"Son, just lay down. You can not stand up yet." Old Madam Bai said as she rushed to her son helping her son to lay down back.

"Mother... What happened?" Bai Guowei gathered his strength to ask.

"Don’t you remember? Some people come to our house and beat you up. Those bastards..." Old Madam Bai was angry.

Bai Guowei finally remembered the incident. He gritted his teeth.

"It must be that bastard who asks them to come and beat you over." Old Madam Bai continued. She shamelessly put the blame on Bai Xiang.

Bai Guowei’s eyes flickered when he heard Old Madam Bai say ’that bastard’. He knew who Old Madam Bai referred to. He did not want to correct Old Madam Bai. Since Old Madam Bai wanted to think of Bai Xiang as the culprit, he would act like that was the case.

"You should go and ask His Majesty to punish him. He should be punished. How dare he beat the future crown princess’s father?" Old Madam Bai demanded.

Bai Guowei flinched. How could he do that? He could not enter the palace whenever he liked. He did not have the high position to do so.

"Let’s talk about this when I am recovered." Bai Guowei said.

"Yes... Yes... You are still injured. You should not go out." Old Madam Bai nodded several times when she remembered her son’s condition.

Old Maid Dong came here and informed Old Madam Bai that Bai Zihao was here to see her.

"Just tell him to come to his brother’s room." Old Madam Bai said.

"Why is he here? Does he want to borrow money from us?" Bai Guowei asked.

"Humph! Even if I have the money, I will not give it to him. Yesterday, when you were injured, when the pharmacist was called, he did not even want to pay for your treatment." Old Madam Bai said angrily.

"Mother, Second Brother." Bai Zihao greeted both of them.

"Zihao, you only have me as your brother. Why are you still calling me, Second Brother? Or do you still think that Bai Xiang is your first brother?" Bai Guowei asked.

Bai Guowei just lit the fire for Bai Zihao. He knew that his mother would be furious about that. As expected his mother became furious about that.

"Is what your brother says true? You still think that bastard is your brother?" Old Madam Bai asked Bai Zihao.

"Mother..." Bai Zihao wanted to reason with Old Madam Bai.

"If you really think that way, then, you are no longer my son." Old Madam Bai gave Bai Zihao an ultimatum.

Bai Zihao was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he reacted. "Fine. Let’s cut ties and separate our family."
