The Pitiful Mother Bibi Dong, Disliked by Her Daughter Qian Renxue

Suddenly, Qian Daoliu beside him coughed lightly, feigning anger and said:

"Feng'er, you only have Xue'er in your eyes now."

"We two old guys have been standing here for so long, and you're treating us like air, pretending not to see us, aren't you?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo chuckled heartily. He naturally understood that Qian Daoliu was teasing Jin Lingfeng.

Jin Lingfeng scratched his head, feeling a bit awkward. He had only been thinking of quickly giving the cake to Qian Renxue and had momentarily forgotten Qian Daoliu sitting beside him.

But just as he was about to explain, Qian Renxue put her hands on her hips and glared at Qian Daoliu, huffing:

"Grandpa, today is my birthday, I'm the boss, and I won't allow you to yell at Lingfeng!"

Immediately, Qian Renxue's soft voice echoed clearly in the quiet courtyard.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was slightly taken aback. He glanced triumphantly at the helpless Qian Daoliu and deliberately laughed loudly, feeling ecstatic inside. Seeing Qian Daoliu embarrassed was a rare sight.

Qian Daoliu smiled bitterly, gazing dotingly at Qian Renxue as he sighed softly:

"Alas, it's true what they say, a granddaughter grows up and can't be kept."

Jin Lingfeng couldn't help but smile. He hadn't expected Qian Renxue to defend him so fiercely and was deeply touched. It seemed his efforts in pursuing and pleasing her these past few days hadn't been in vain.

Qian Renxue's cheeks flushed impossibly red, as if they could bleed. She lowered her head deeply, overcome with shame, wishing she could disappear into a hole. How embarrassing...

At this moment, Jin Lingfeng smiled and smoothed things over, saying:

"Xue'er, hurry and open the gift box. I went to a lot of trouble to make this cake for you."

"Okay, Lingfeng."

Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, placing the cake on the stone table and began to untie the red ribbon.

Jin Lingfeng also walked over, while Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo watched with curiosity.

The next moment, the gift box was fully opened, revealing a three-tiered cream cake before everyone. It emitted a faint scent of cream, and the words "Happy Birthday Xue'er!" were artfully arranged in the center with fruit.

For a moment, Qian Renxue looked at the exquisite cream cake before her, her eyes pricking with tears. Her girlish heart was deeply moved, and she gazed tenderly at the young man beside her, saying excitedly:

"Lingfeng, thank you..."

Jin Lingfeng reached out and ruffled the young girl's hair, looking into her eyes and saying dotingly:

"Xue'er, let's cut the cake. Hurry and taste it to see if you like it."

Instantly, their gazes met, filled with a tenderness as gentle as water, creating a very warm atmosphere. The air around them seemed to sweeten.

But just then, to Jin Lingfeng's right, a stunning woman in a palace dress appeared out of thin air. It was Bibi Dong...

Bibi Dong wore a simple palace dress. The originally stern and cold aura was replaced by gentleness. Her gaze upon Qian Renxue was filled with deep affection and sorrow.

After being violated and confined for ten months, giving birth to a child, Bibi Dong's mental world had completely collapsed. She accepted the Rakshasa God's inheritance, which further affected her sanity, and her personality gradually turned cold.

About half a year ago, Qian Xunji returned severely injured after leading an expedition to hunt down Tang Hao. Bibi Dong seized the opportunity to devour him, avenging her deep-seated hatred and becoming the new Pope. However, the hatred in her heart remained unabated, precisely because she was influenced by the Rakshasa God's curse.

It wasn't until that night, after Bibi Dong absorbed the aura of the Primal Chaos Bead from Jin Lingfeng, that she completely broke free from the influence of the Rakshasa God's power within her and her temperament returned to normal.

This allowed her affection for Qian Renxue to reawaken, as her daughter was the only family she had left in this world.

Finally, Jin Lingfeng repeatedly requested her to appear on her daughter's birthday, so Bibi Dong arrived today with a heart full of trepidation...

Suddenly, the smiles on the faces of Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo vanished, replaced by shock!

"Bibi Dong, you..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo instinctively stood up, questioning Bibi Dong, but before he could finish, Qian Daoliu interrupted him:

"Golden Crocodile, forget it.

"She's here to see Xue'er. Let's give them some privacy."

Immediately, Qian Daoliu cast a complex glance at Bibi Dong, then at his stunned granddaughter Qian Renxue, and with a heavy sigh, disappeared from the spot.

Earlier, when his son Qian Xunji returned severely injured, Qian Daoliu had personally intervened but to no avail.

In the end, Qian Xunji died at the hands of Bibi Dong in the Papal Palace. Qian Daoliu knew about this.

However, considering his granddaughter Qian Renxue, and the fact that Qian Xunji had wronged Bibi Dong in the first place, he didn't kill her. Instead, he allowed Bibi Dong to become the new Pope as compensation.

Now, seeing Bibi Dong appear on Qian Renxue's birthday, Qian Daoliu was very pleased. After all, there was a certain kind of care only a mother could provide...

Golden Crocodile Douluo, as a close friend of Qian Daoliu, naturally understood his intentions. He gave Jin Lingfeng a meaningful look and disappeared from the spot.

"Your Holiness the Pope, you've arrived at the perfect time."

"Xue'er and I were just about to cut the cake. Won't you join us?"

Jin Lingfeng was initially taken aback when he saw Bibi Dong, but his surprise was quickly replaced by immense joy.

His greatest wish was for Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue to reconcile, as both were pitiable women.

However, before Jin Lingfeng could finish speaking, Qian Renxue's cold, furious roar erupted:

"Your Excellency the Pope, you are not welcome here!"

"Please return to your Papal Palace and don't disturb my birthday!"

These simple words, spoken by Qian Renxue, struck Bibi Dong's heart like needles, causing her immense pain. Her eyes widened in that instant.

"Xue'er... Xue'er, don't be angry."

"I... I shouldn't have come today. I'll leave... I'll leave right now..."

Bibi Dong met her daughter's cold gaze, forcing a strained smile as she spoke. She turned to leave, but the moment she did, the tears she had been holding back could no longer be contained and spilled from her eyes. Her body trembled slightly.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was far from the dignified and supreme Pope she once was. She was merely a pathetic mother, disdained and resented by her daughter...

The atmosphere around them instantly became heavy with sorrow and oppression.

Qian Renxue's lips were tightly pressed against her cold cheeks. But the moment she saw the woman she both loved and hated before her start to cry, her heart clenched violently. It hurt deeply, causing her immense sadness.

Growing up without ever experiencing a mother's love, Qian Renxue harbored deep resentment towards Bibi Dong. In her heart, she no longer considered Bibi Dong her mother, believing she didn't deserve the title.

However, like any child with normal psychology, she secretly yearned for her mother's affection, a desire she could never fulfill.

It was this painful emotional state that gradually led to her reclusive and strong-willed personality. About half a year ago, after her father Qian Xunji passed away, she only drew close to her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

Now, Qian Renxue couldn't understand why her heart ached at the sight of Bibi Dong crying. The proud Qian Renxue would never allow herself to bow down to this woman. Even though her heart pained, she endured it, striving to maintain a cold expression...

But just as Bibi Dong was about to leave, Jin Lingfeng quickly stepped forward, grabbing her hand and calling out emotionally:

"Your Excellency the Pope, please don't go!"

"Since you're already here, stay and have cake with Xue'er before you leave!"

Bibi Dong looked at the young man blocking her path, wiped the tears from her eyes, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"It's no use, Jin Lingfeng. Xue'er doesn't want to see me. If I stay, I'll only make her hate me more..."

From behind, Qian Renxue snorted and angrily reprimanded Jin Lingfeng:

"Lingfeng, come back here and let her leave!"

"I don't want to see her again. I never want to see this woman again in my life..."

However, at this very moment, Qian Daoliu reappeared. He looked at Qian Renxue and said with a sigh:

"Xue'er, wait a moment."

"Today, I will tell you everything..."
