"Mother, we already had breakfast." Lin Ping'er was somewhat disdainful, but she wanted to keep face, so she managed to squeeze out a faint smile.
When the old lady heard that the three were not here for a free meal, her expression noticeably brightened, but the look she gave Bai Ruozhu remained unfriendly.
In the yard, Bai Ruolan was washing, and upon seeing Bai Yihong and his wife, she simply snorted coldly without even greeting them, a complete lack of courtesy. Bai Ruozhu, knowing her cousin didn't like her, didn't bother to interact with her.
The old grandfather was eating porridge in the room. Upon hearing the commotion, he peeked out and asked with a furrowed brow, "Second child, why did you come so early? Was there any development in the matter from yesterday?"
Bai Yihong was startled and hurriedly explained, having not expected such a misunderstanding by his father, "It's not about that, it's…" He paused, then glanced at Bai Ruozhu.
