The butler quickly fetched the medicine and helped Bai Chengfeng take it.
Once he had recovered, Bai Chengfeng was about to speak when Bai Tang interrupted with a smile, "I know you'll miss me, so from now on, I'll be staying at home. It's late, so I'll head to rest first."
With that, Bai Tang turned and went upstairs, leaving the other three fuming.
"Dad, she—"
Bai Xi'er couldn't help but want to curse Bai Tang, but Zhao Chengfang stopped her, instead speaking with a worried expression: "Honey, are you okay? Should we take you to the hospital?"
Bai Chengfeng's face darkened.
Zhao Chengfang continued, "This Bai Tang is really something. You care so much about her, and now she's turned out like this, nearly tearing the whole house apart. Now she's back, and who knows what trouble she'll stir up next."
"She wouldn't dare!" Bai Chengfeng said, his face grim. "I'll kick her out tomorrow. I, Bai Chengfeng, have no such daughter!"
Zhao Chengfang watched the furious Bai Chengfeng, a hint of triumphant glee flickering in her eyes as she comforted him.
Bai Xi'er was also pleased. If they could completely drive Bai Tang out of the Bai family, then everything in the Bai household would be hers!
Upstairs, Bai Tang washed up and lay down to rest.
When she woke up, it was already daylight.
Bai Tang got up and pulled open the curtains. The room's lighting wasn't great—it could even be described as somewhat dim.
She took a moment to survey the room's layout. Honestly, it wasn't much different from a guest room.
From the original owner's memories, her room had been taken over by Bai Xi'er not long after they arrived.
Not just the room—anything that belonged to the original owner, Bai Xi'er would snatch away one by one.
Even Bai Chengfeng would make the original owner willingly give them up.
Bai Tang looked coldly around the room. For some reason, a nameless anger welled up inside her.
This feeling made her frown.
Anger?
Even after spending ten years in that godforsaken place, she had never felt anger. Yet now, she was experiencing such an emotion.
Bai Tang found it novel.
And she didn't reject this anger. Her very bones carried a bloodthirsty nature, and this anger stirred a ripple within her.
Bai Tang curled her lips, deepening the arc of her smile, though the light in her eyes turned icy.
In truth, compared to reclaiming everything, she preferred destruction.
After all, even taking it back would mean nothing.
The girl stood by the window, lightly tapping her index finger as if pondering the matter.
In the sunlight, her flawless face seemed coated in a soft glow, making her appear even more beautiful. Yet the chill in her eyes lent that beauty an eerie, cold quality.
The ringing of her phone interrupted her thoughts.
Bai Tang snapped back to reality and answered the call.
"Awake yet?"
On the other end, Zhang Xiaochu's cheerful voice rang out.
"What's up?"
"Coming to pick you up for class!" Zhang Xiaochu said matter-of-factly. "Didn't I say yesterday I'm going to chase you?"
The cold aura around Bai Tang dissipated, and she now seemed harmless and innocent. "Zhang Xiaochu, let's fight. If you win, I'll be your girlfriend."
"But I can't bear to hit you!" Zhang Xiaochu chuckled.
Fighting Bai Tang? That would be asking for death.
Did he look stupid?
