Chapter 46: Distorting Right and Wrong
"Yes, thanks to you, I was able to come back. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about Qian Cheng and Xue’er..."
Before Bai Yuhua could finish, Cheng Li interrupted, saying, "Aunt Bai, no need to be so polite. It’s what I should do. Little Xue is my good friend. I can’t just watch her make a mistake, right?"
Listening to Cheng Li’s words, Bai Yuhua’s gaze turned cold, and with an unpleasant expression, she asked in a harsh tone, "Cheng Li, are you really Xue’er’s good friend?"
"Aunt Bai, what’s wrong? I really am Xue’er’s good friend. If you don’t believe me, you can ask her. We’re so close that we can share everything."
"Really?" Bai Yuhua scoffed, glanced at Cheng Li lightly, and said, "Are you sure Xue’er wants to divorce Qian Cheng?"
"Of course, Xue’er told me herself. How could it be fake?"
"When I heard her say that, I was really anxious. I’ve been advising her to think it over carefully. Qian Cheng is a rare good man, and a soldier as well. I persuaded her not to forfeit this blessing and to live well with Qian Cheng, but she wouldn’t listen. I had no choice, fearing they might argue or even fight, so I went to find you."
At this point, Cheng Li was completely unaware that Jiang Xue had not, as she expected, had a big row with Mu Qiancheng and then left the Mu Family. So, she spoke ill of Jiang Xue in front of the elders of the Mu Family, presenting herself as a good person.
"Is that so?" Bai Yuhua’s gaze grew colder. It wasn’t like that at all. Fortunately, Mu Qiancheng had explained the situation to her; otherwise, she would have believed Cheng Li.
"That’s right, that’s how it is. Aunt Bai, don’t worry. I’ll go to Xue’er’s parents’ house later to persuade her to come back and live well with Qian Cheng."
