Chapter 796: Confrontation (2)
A familiar voice drifted into Bai Yufang’s ears and her expression changed instantly.
Xiao Chun stepped out from behind Zuo Si before she walked towards Bai Yufang slowly and stood before her. After staring at her for a few seconds, she turned towards everyone else.
She then raised her chin and gestured to the emcee, who quickly understood her intentions and handed her a microphone.
After Xiao Chun took the microphone from the emcee, her eyes landed on Bai Yufang’s face once again and she asked, “Mother, how do you intend to fight for your case? Do you want to deny everything that was recorded in this video? Well, let me tell you this—I was the one who took this video. I sent you a message and after you replied, I used that to identify your location. Subsequently, I tracked you down and filmed this secretly.
“I witnessed and heard everything in the video in person. I couldn’t believe that my mother would do such a thing and I felt terribly disappointed and heartbroken about the truth.”
Bai Yufang’s face became slightly pale and after she forced herself to calm down, berated, “Chunchun, I know that you are on good terms with Xu Weilai, but you can’t spout nonsense when it comes to certain matters.”
“Nonsense?” Xiao Chun snickered. Her eyes were filled with disappointment and self-ridicule as she retorted, “You’re my mother. Did you think I would slander my own mother just to help out a friend?”
Bai Yufang closed her eyes and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but suppressed on second thought. She then sighed softly before she replied, “Chunchun, I don’t know what Xu Weilai said to you to make you come forward to accuse me like this, but you’re my daughter and I wouldn’t blame you no matter what you do.”
Without giving Xiao Chun further opportunity to speak, she then changed the topic to Grandpa Gu, “I wouldn’t take the blame for something I that
I did not do. We all have our own stand on this, so why don’t we ask Grandpa Gu? He knows best how our relationship has been over the years and whether I’ve hurt him or instigated him to do anything. It’ll only be my fault if Grandpa Gu thinks that I’ve hurt him.”
Then, she held the microphone up close to Grandpa Gu’s mouth and asked gently, “Grandpa Gu, please say a few words.”
Xiao Chun’s brows knitted into a tight frown and she clenched her hands.
As expected, being a psychiatrist, her mother was strong at heart and knew that she would not gain the upper hand in a confrontation with Xiao Chun. That was why her mother told her things like how she would forgive her no matter what she did so as to shut her stop her before she turned to Grandpa Gu.
Everyone turned their attention to Grandpa Gu after they heard Bai Yufang’s question. The explanation offered by the party involved would certainly be the most convincing.
Grandpa Gu leaned on his walking stick and stood up shakily. As he was bedridden for a few months, his face appeared lean and he seemed increasingly old and haggard. His face was wrinkled and his facial features were visibly less distinct. In fact, it would be hard to identify who he was if one did not look closely.
However, his drastic change wasn’t unexpected since he was seriously ill and thus, the crowd wasn’t bothered by his appearance and simply focused on what he had to say.
Grandpa Gu spoke into the microphone in a deep and aged voice, “Yufang didn’t do anything to hurt me. Everyone, please ignore these groundless videos and audio recordings. Let’s proceed with the wedding. Right now, my only wish is for my grandson’s wedding to go on smoothly and to see him find his happiness.”
His words basically put an end to the farce.
If Grandpa Gu did not have a problem with Bai Yufang, then others would only appear like a petty scumbag if they continued to gossip about this matter and stir up enmity.
Bai Yufang’s lips curled up slightly but before she could break out into a grin, someone interrupted, “Aunt Bai, it’s now my turn to confront you.”
