They felt their hairs stand on end from the stare and snarled, “What are you looking at? Did we say something wrong? You’re an outsider. Don’t poke your nose into our family matter!”
Bai Lin nodded. “You’re not injured anywvhere else aisde from your brains. And you still need to be cared about?”
Lu Zhi was furious and ran over with her hand raised to hit Bai Lin.
Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang each grabbed her wrist and held her shoulder to quickly stop her.
As Lu Zhi struggled, she yelled, “How dare you bully a woman?! Let me go!”
She even glared at the panicking Jin Ran. “Are you just going to watch your mother get bullied? I’ve really raised you for so many years in vain!”
Zhao Yuan felt the same way and stepped out to criticize Bai Lin. “Xiao Lin, them mother and daughter were fine. Xiao Ran’s also been very obedient. Why has she become rebellious when she joins your team? Did you instigate her? Hurry up and apologize. Don’t escalate things to an ugly point.”
“Yeah! How could you teach my daughter the wrong things! Uncultured! I shouldn’t have let her join your group!” Lu Zhi cried vehemently.
Bai Xi bit her lower lip and said pitifully, “I’m sorry. Bai Lin grew up in the countryside and doesn’t quite understand our value of family. I apologize on her behalf.’
In just a few words, Bai Lin became the cause of the Jin Family’s internal conflict.
[I’m amazed. The Jin parents are totally the typical awful family. The daughter’s fear and resentment toward her family must’ve been taught by others… They don’t even reflect on it. I’m dying from just watching.]
[But Jin Ran really crossed the line. Her parents only wanted their daughter’s concern. Besides, who hasn’t been beaten up before? Is Jin Ran so delicate that she can’t be scolded or beaten?]
[I’m really going to die of anger. Why should Xiao Xi apologize for Bai Lin? She was clearly the one who did wrong!]
[Oh please, our Xiao Lin didn’t do anything wrong, and she doesn’t need anyone to apologize on her behalf. It was Bai Xi who insisted on doing that. Drama queen!]
Whether it was on the internet or in reality, everyone was running high on emotions. Zhao Yuan and Lu Zhi kept criticizing Bai Lin, demanding an apology and compensation from her.
Bai Lin suddenly chuckled.
Lu Zhi was stunned. “What are you laughing at?”
Bai Lin answered, “With how you’re duetting with Zhao Yuan, why don’t you set up a stage to perform or act? Stop annoying people just because you’re too free.
Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang had already let go of Lu Zhi and were standing on both sides of Bai Lin.
Yan Ruo chuckled. “Not everyone can be an actor, though.”
Zhou Guang put his hands in his pockets and looked at them coldly. “My sister isn’t wrong. Don’t always come looking for trouble. Don’t you find it annoying?”
“We just want jiejie to be part of us. We don’t mean anything else,” Bai Xi said sadly with her eyes casted down. After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Fan Feng.
Fan Feng had always supported her unconditionally, but it was not the case this time. Instead, he looked at her with disgust. “Stop pretending. She’s doing well on her own. Why’d she want to join you?”
Bai Xi gritted his teeth and hid behind Zhao Yuan. Her face was pale and her eyes were recl, like sne was aDout to cry.
Bai Lin was bored by the drama unfolding before her eyes. She did not want to waste any more time on them, so she said, “I’m not the one who should apologize for what happened with Jin Ran. I don’t want to waste my time arguing with you either, but you guys seem to hate me a lot.”
Bai Lin chortled as everyone looked at her. “How about this? Let’s fight so all of you get to vent your anger?”
The scene went so quiet that it was a little awkward.
Fan Zhi and the others who had been watching the drama almost laughed out loud when they heard this.
Who dared fight Bai Lin when she could fight the wolf pack alone? Fan Zhi came out to mediate the situation once he was done watching the drama.
“Alright, alright. Everyone’s probably having a temper from being frightened by the wolves. Jin Hang, take your wife to rest now. It’s not good for health to stay angry.”
Jin Hang took the opportunity to pull Lu Zhi away. Before he left, he glared at Jin Ran with a dark look.
Jin Ran stiffened as she grabbed Bai Lin’s hand tightly without saying anything.
Everyone went on their way, and the five members of Bai Lin’s group returned to the bamboo house to rest.
Since Bai Xi’s group carried too heavy a possession, they did not take their things along when they were in a hurry to come back earlier. They had no place to sleep now, and it was raining, so they could only rent Bai Lin’s straw raincoats and bamboos. The few of them squeezed together and waited for dawn.
After a chaotic night, Bai Xi’s group had huge dark circles under their eyes and were full of complaints when the production team appeared.
Despite that, the production team brought good news—one could voluntarily quit now!
The moment they heard the news, Jin Hang and Lu Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and immediately quitted.
They did not get any upper hand from the dispute about Jin Ran yesterday. Instead, they were so enraged that they no longer cared about her. The show had to end eventually, and they would deal with her when she got back..
