CHAPTER 48: CHAPTER 48: STAND UP FOR JUSTICE

"Aunt Bai, even you misunderstand me. In that case, I won’t bother you here any longer, I’ll just leave." Cheng Li was angry as she realized Bai Yuhua didn’t stand on her side, feeling embarrassed to stay any longer.

"Wait!" Bai Yuhua spoke up.

About to leave, but how could it be that easy? She hadn’t finished what she wanted to say.

"Aunt Bai, what now, won’t even let me leave?"

"Cheng Li, considering you used to be Xue’er’s good friend, I don’t want to say anything more. However, I hope you don’t come to our house without reason in the future. I don’t want Xue’er to be led astray by you."

Hearing this, Cheng Li’s face turned ugly. She wanted to lash out, but Bai Yuhua was an elder, so she could only hold back.

However, Bai Yuhua might not want her to come, but Jiang Xue might think differently. So, she turned to Jiang Xue and asked, "Little Xue, do you think the same? Do you also not want me to come see you anymore?"

Jiang Xue looked at Cheng Li, her face turning mocking, and said, "What Mom thinks is what I think."

"Little Xue, you?" Cheng Li was furious, glaring fiercely at Jiang Xue, covering her face as she ran out.

Watching Cheng Li act as if she was bullied, Jiang Xue’s mockery deepened. How come she never noticed Cheng Li could pretend like this before?

She’s truly a little innocent white flower.

After Cheng Li left, Bai Yuhua and Mu Siwu exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Jiang Xue, saying, "Xue’er, will you blame me for not letting you have more contact with Cheng Li?"

"How could I? Mom, I know you mean well. Don’t worry, I won’t blame you. On the contrary, I have to thank you."

When Bai Yuhua said it, it was completely different from when she said it. If she had spoken, Cheng Li would definitely have continued endlessly.

Now that Bai Yuhua said it, it’s different. She is an elder, and Cheng Li wouldn’t dare to argue or create too much tension unless she didn’t care about her good reputation.

However, after Cheng Li’s recent crying episode, she guessed there might be trouble in the future. Because, right next to the Mu Family, is the Zhuo Family, and their son Zhuoyue especially likes Cheng Li.

If Zhuoyue saw Cheng Li looking so wronged, he would surely come seeking trouble. Thankfully now, she’s in postpartum recovery, so even if Zhuoyue wanted trouble, he wouldn’t dare to come to their home.

However, Jiang Xue was too happy too soon.

Just then, a loud roar came from in front of the Mu Family’s courtyard gate: "Jiang Xue, get out here!"

Hearing the shout, Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua’s faces immediately turned ugly, standing up and walking towards the door while saying, "Zhuoyue, what’s all this shouting about? Don’t you know our Xue’er just gave birth? With all this noise, whom are you trying to scare?"

Zhuoyue hadn’t expected Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua to be at home, nor did he know about Jiang Xue giving birth, he had been out the past few days and only just returned today.

When he got back, he saw Cheng Li running out of the Mu Family crying. When he asked Cheng Li, she said nothing.

The more Cheng Li didn’t speak, the more Zhuoyue felt it was Jiang Xue bullying her. Thus, without much thought, he ran directly to the Mu Family to set things right.

Who knew the Mu couple would be home, and that Jiang Xue had given birth. This left him at a loss on what to do.

His admiration for Cheng Li was true, and he looked down on Jiang Xue. Married to a good man, yet constantly restless, not knowing her own blessings, it was detestable.
