Chapter 151 - 150 Earth Baby (Happy New Year to the Brothers)
Having clarified the sequence of events, Lu Tianxing organized his thoughts and began to speak slowly, explaining, "Grandpa, you’ve misunderstood me. She and I are just ordinary friends. Previously, by chance, I just saved her once, and there’s nothing special between us. Zhiqing said that when you saw me holding her, it was merely a polite hug, with no other implication."
"Really?"
Bai Qiao Mountain looked skeptically at Lu Tianxing and then at Bai Zhiqing, who was silent with her head down, unsure whom to believe. He definitely didn’t trust Bai Zhiqing’s words; she’d probably do anything to get a divorce from Lu Tianxing, and any excuse could be exaggerated tenfold. Lu Tianxing’s words couldn’t be completely trusted either. Nowadays, lying had become a topic husbands were particularly good at after getting married.
"Brother-in-law," said Bai Weiwei, "our teacher has taught us that lying is not a good child’s behavior. The police also taught us ’to be lenient if you confess, to be strict if you resist.’ Trying to bluff your way through is useless."
Bai Weiwei’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Tianxing.
Lu Tianxing completely ignored Bai Weiwei. This little sister-in-law always knew how to stir up trouble when bored. In the future, he needed to find the time to spank her vigorously, to properly educate her. When adults are talking, children should not interject.
"Zhiqing, tell me," Bai Qiao Mountain’s gaze finally settled on Bai Zhiqing, waiting for her response, "Is what Tianxing said true?"
"I..."
Bai Zhiqing opened her mouth, wanting to say that everything Lu Tianxing said was a lie, yet she didn’t know how to express it. Lu Tianxing was indeed not wrong; she had indeed just seen a woman hugging Lu Tianxing, and from a distance, she couldn’t even be sure whether theirs was merely a courteous hug. She didn’t even see clearly what the woman looked like. The only reason she brought up the matter was to use it as a leverage to get a divorce from Lu Tianxing.
