Chapter 545: 545: Give Me Some Time
“Back then, I thought I was infertile, which was why I brought her home, but as soon as I brought her home, I got pregnant and even gave birth to two other children.
“I am not a saint. How would I give them the same treatment? There would be times where I may be a little biased but…..I am still her mother who saved her life!
“But, ever since that traitor found out that I wasn’t her mother, she decided to take revenge. I can swear to god upon this! If Qin Yi wasn’t her boyfriend, my entire family would be killed by an accident as soon as we walked on the street!”
Bai Tu’s unhappy face soon recovered, but it was obvious that he wasn’t delighted about what he saw.
“Auntie, you wouldn’t have to say these things. I believe you, and I believe Xiao Lu as well but…the photos didn’t look photoshopped.”
After hearing what he said, Jing Lu felt guilty. She was only sobbing lightly in the beginning, but now, she felt so ashamed that there were tears rolling down her face.
Jing Lu knew her mother way too well. Cheng Shuyu was the one who would speak nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth. She was loud and stupid at the same time—definitely those kinds who would die in the first few episodes of those palace harem dramas.
Did she really think that Bai Tu was someone who she could fool so easily?
Just when Cheng Shuyu was about to open her mouth, Jing Lu quickly said in a sorrowful tone, “It’s true that Qin Yi was my elder sister’s boyfriend. Qin Yi was madly in love with her as well but she….. She wasn’t happy with the state that they were in. You should know by now that my elder sister is Jing Qian. She’s extremely pretty. Naturally, there were a lot of men who were after her.
“There was an instance where she wanted to seduce a rich man and had drugged his drink but….. Huhuhuhuhuhu… In the end, I was the one who drank the drink. I was in a really bad shape, and I met Qin Yi who came looking for Jing Qian. Then, we…”
When she saw Bai Tu who was looking at her, Jing Lu continued to cry as she defended herself, “I did sleep with him, and Qin Yi has been saying that he would be responsible for it. He did as he promised and broke up with my sister, but as soon as that happened, my elder sister messed up her relationship with her sugar daddy, which was why she came back looking for Qin Yi. After a few times, she found another man, and the first thing that she did was to get back at both me and Qin Yi.”
Cheng Shuyu was surprised by her younger daughter’s acting skills, and she quickly added, “This was all my fault. I wasn’t able to treat the both of them equally, causing my elder daughter to turn out this way. I always thought that everyone has a difficult past, and Jing Lu has always been loyal to you ever since she met you. Everyone has a past, Young Master Bai. You would forgive her for what she has done, right?”
However, Bai Tu kept quiet. This caused Jing Lu to panic, and she continued crying.
Bai Tu did not care much about it when he heard that their company had gone bankrupt.
As Jing Lu thought of how her future was about to be ruined by Jing Qian, she continued crying while silently cursing Jing Qian with the meanest words.
Cheng Shuyu continued convincing Bai Tu about how nice Jing Lu was and demanded an answer from him.
However, Bai Tu kept quiet. Cheng Shuyu already got tired, and even when Jing Xuean got pushed out of the room by the doctor, he still remained quiet.
Jing Xuean’s condition has been confirmed. He suffered a stroke, and even if he woke up, he would be paralyzed.
Bai Tu immediately contacted a physiotherapist in Imperial City, and they would be treating Jing Xuean in Imperial City.
“Xiao Lu, I know about what happened, but I still need time to digest this. Could you just give me some time?”
