Chapter 1240 I Do Not Accept Any of Your Apologies
Xu Chaomu’s words reverberated powerfully in the quiet prison, and instantly, Jiang Zhilan fell silent.
She had to admit that what Xu Chaomu said was the truth.
Initially, her actions against Xu Chaomu were motivated by her desire for her daughter’s happiness and, secondly, wasn’t it because she feared that Bai Xuan finding out would threaten her and Bai Man’s position?
After all, Bai Xuan had truly adored Xu Mengxi back in the day.
If Bai Xuan had known that Xu Mengxi had once borne him a daughter, he would definitely have doted on Xu Chaomu.
At that thought, she felt a chill down her spine.
But now, the Bai Family had lost everything, and surviving was the priority.
Xu Chaomu looked at Jiang Zhilan again and said, "Now that the Bai Family is gone, you think of me? Before this, why didn’t you make a peep? Do you think I would help you? Your calculations are too cunning, but I, Xu Chaomu, am no pushover to be trifled with, kicked away when useless, and picked up again when beneficial."
"I didn’t tell you before, simply because there was no opportunity," Jiang Zhilan meekly replied.
"Taking me for a fool?" Xu Chaomu scoffed coldly. "No opportunity? You had plenty of opportunities!"
