Chapter 770: She Tried to Sabotage My SonI Will Not Let Her Get Away With It

Thats enough. Ill pretend that I dont know what you and Mother did, Helan Fangnian interrupted, frustrated. Xiuse As a woman, first, you must be kind; second, you must be composed

Helan Xiuses eyes reddened. You tell me to be kind, but what about Qingsi? she said. Shes so rotten. How could you still like her?

Helan Fangnian paused to look at Helan Xiuse for a while. Shes not rotten She was once the kindest girl in the world, he said, expression stony. She went through things that you have never experienced, and you wouldnt want to experience. Her character today was forcefully shaped by the people around her. Dont compare your circ.u.mstances to hers.

Helan Xiuse blinked; tears streamed down her cheeks. She calmed down and extended a hand to clutch onto Helan Fangnians. Im sorry, Brother, she said. I was wrong. I shouldnt be comparing myself to Qingsi. Please dont be mad at me.

Youre all grown up. When it comes to Mothers words, you have to learn to differentiate between the right and the wrong yourself, Helan Fangnian sighed. Listen to what should be right, but you cannot heed her words when they are wrong.

Helan Xiuse nodded. Okay.

But Mother said that we have to invite Mrs. Yue and Tingfeng to the charity auction dinner. But we dont know if theyll go. What should we do?

Its their choice to go or not. We dont have a right to dictate their decision.

Okay

Only the trio was left in the living room. Yan Qingsi quietly ate a slice of watermelon. Arent you going to talk to me?

Yue Tingfeng cleared his throat. Hmm, we should be talking, eh? Mom, lets not go to this charity dinner. Theres no point in going.

Mrs. Yue nodded her head in agreement. I agree. Lets not go.

Yan Qingsi cast a side-glance at Yue Tingfeng. Dont think that Im stupid.

Yue Tingfeng rubbed his nose. Its nothing. Its none of my business anyway. Ill tell you what happened

He told Yan Qingsi what happened during the night before he went to Hai city when he encountered Helan Fangnian. And thats what happened, he said. I never touched a single hair on her head from beginning to end. Later I saw right through that little scheme she pulled at the door, so I didnt fall from it from the start. But I didnt do anything though. Its strange that those two siblings apologized.

Yan Qingsi and Mrs. Yue both looked at Yue Tingfeng, silent.

Yue Tingfeng s.h.i.+vered under the twos stares. Dont look at me like that. Im telling the truth. It has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Yan Qingsi reached out to pinch Yue Tingfengs chin. Gee How did I not notice that you were this attractive?

Yue Tingfeng grabbed Yan Qingsis hand. Dont speak such nonsense. I dont think she likes me. She just wants to sabotage me.

Mrs. Yues expression darkened.

Yue Tingfeng noticed it. Mom, whats wrong? he asked.

Mrs. Yue slammed a hand on the table. Zhang Suyathat b*tch. She tried to sabotage even youI wont let her get away with it. Well go to that charity dinner. We must.

Mom You

You idiots, Mrs. Yue huffed coldly. And you call yourselves clever. Its so obvious that she wants to blame you for everything, then marry her daughter off into the Yue family. This scheme has been used so often its getting dull.

Mrs. Yue knew, not because she was clever enough, but because Mrs. Helan happened to use this ruse before. That was why Mrs. Yue remembered it so clearly.

However, Mrs. Helan only told her daughter to probe around this time. She was not really scheming.

Still, who knew if the real deal would come later?
