Chapter 1316: An Irresponsible Mother

~7 min read 1,378 words

Bai Yufei lowered her head and spoke weakly: "At that time, I had a chip on my shoulder; I didn't want to admit defeat."

"Then why are you bowing your head now?"

"Because... I have reached a dead end! Mother, please help me!"

Bai Yufei gently tugged at Chi Rong's sleeve, crying like a flower drenched in rain.

Yet Chi Rong hesitated to make a statement.

She seemed to be wavering.

And her hesitation made Bai Yufei increasingly unable to keep her composure, so she opened her mouth and called out: "Mother?"

Chi Rong hesitated for a moment before slowly raising her head.

She looked at Bai Yufei, raised her hand to gently stroke her cheek, and sighed: "Is this heaven's will?"

Hah, heaven's will?

Only the weak rely on heaven's will! Whatever she wants, she fights for herself!

After this silent rebuke, Bai Yufei prepared to continue playing the victim, striving to make Chi Rong lean toward her side.

However, the next second...

"Fei'er, you should just continue to stay in the Hospital to recover from your injuries."

Chi Rong's decision left Bai Yufei in a daze.

She felt she must have misheard, and hurriedly asked with caution: "Mother, what did you just say?"

"I said, you stay in the Hospital to recover from your injuries."

Chi Rong's tone was very flat, yet left no room for negotiation.

Bai Yufei panicked instantly; she put on a wronged expression and pleaded: "But Mother, I want to go home! I haven't been living well outside these past few days, and I keep having nightmares!"

"But if Xin'ai finds out you have returned home, I am afraid she will be uncomfortable."

Without a doubt, Chi Rong was abandoning Bai Yufei for the sake of Liu Xin'ai!

But...

Chi Rong was Bai Yufei's last hope!!

She could not give up on her!!

Bai Yufei stared at Chi Rong without blinking, her gaze sharp: "Afraid Liu Xin'ai will be uncomfortable, so you ignore me? This is the first time I have seen such an irresponsible mother like you!"

Bai Yufei's accusation made Chi Rong feel very uncomfortable inside as well.

But Chi Rong was not a pushover, especially after hearing Bai Yufei's description; she knew this girl...

Had committed a grave mistake!

There was no other way; Chi Rong could only harden her heart and say: "It is just moving to a different place to live; there will be people to take care of you. You should focus on recovering."

Chi Rong's tone remained gentle.

Yet Bai Yufei only felt she was extremely hypocritical!

The hands hanging at her sides slowly clenched into fists!

Even the voice she used to speak was full of accusation: "So you blame me too, even though I had my reasons! You all only see Liu Xin'ai suffering, but you don't care how I have been living during this time!!"

The more Bai Yufei spoke, the more agitated she became; in the end, she was practically roaring!

Chi Rong felt pained by Bai Yufei's plight.

But she would not let that turn right into wrong or confuse black and white!

So she hardened her heart, turned her back to Bai Yufei, and said to Qin Yiyan: "Find the evidence as soon as possible and give Xin'ai an explanation."

"Yes."

Hearing his mother's words, Qin Yiyan knew that his mother had also given up on Bai Yufei.

This result was correct.

For someone like Bai Yufei who would not repent, there was no need for them to waste any more energy!

Bai Yufei tilted her head, looked at that mother and son, and then slowly revealed a crazed smile.

Ha, evidence!?

No one knew about the plan between herself and Fang Yijing!

Now that Fang Yijing was already mentally incapacitated, where could they go to find evidence!?

In the end, after all that busy work, they would only be able to set her free!

Oh my, compared to Liu Xin'ai who could no longer lay eggs, she was the final winner!

Bai Yufei became increasingly smug, and even lifted her chin!

But at this moment, someone pushed the door open and entered.

It was not one person who entered, but one tall and one short. The short one was even sitting in a wheelchair.

The few people in the room turned their heads at the sound.

Then they were shocked to discover... the person sitting in the wheelchair was actually Liu Xin'ai!

Seeing Liu Xin'ai, Chi Rong's expression tightened; she hurriedly walked over, took Liu Xin'ai's hand, and said: "Why did you come over? You cannot be exposed to the wind right now!"

Liu Xin'ai's expression was very flat: "It's fine, I'm not in postpartum confinement."

"But a miscarriage still requires rest, otherwise your body will develop chronic ailments!"

As she spoke, Chi Rong also waved at Xu Xiaoxiao, who was pushing the wheelchair, signaling her to take Liu Xin'ai away first.

But Xu Xiaoxiao did not move; instead, she stared fiercely at Bai Yufei.

Because the commotion Bai Yufei caused was quite large, both Liu Xin'ai and Xu Xiaoxiao knew about it.

Liu Xin'ai had originally been listless.

Once she heard Bai Yufei's name, she brought something and insisted on coming over.

Xu Xiaoxiao knew her good friend's plan.

On this matter, she supported Liu Xin'ai.

Only then did Chi Rong, who had witnessed this scene, realize that these two children... were targeting Bai Yufei.

On the other side, Qin Yiyan could understand Liu Xin'ai's feelings.

She loathed Bai Yufei, hating her for joining forces with Fang Yijing to harm their child!

Yet Qin Yiyan did not approve of Liu Xin'ai's actions.

Unable to bear blaming Liu Xin'ai, he asked Xu Xiaoxiao, "Why did you push her over? Don't you know she just regained consciousness!?"

Xu Xiaoxiao seemed not to have heard Qin Yiyan's words.

Her eyes remained fixed tightly on Bai Yufei!

Bai Yufei, however, showed no fear; she rolled her eyes and then folded her arms.

Seeing her fearless appearance, Xu Xiaoxiao could not help but clench her fists.

She truly wished she could pounce over right now and fiercely slap that woman's face!

Yet Bai Yufei was emboldened, meeting Xu Xiaoxiao's stare as she said lazily, "I am a patient now too, so please leave; don't hinder my recovery!"

"We will leave once we have said what needs to be said; we don't want to look at someone like you for even a second!"

After shouting this, Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Liu Xin'ai.

The latter nodded, and only then did Xu Xiaoxiao hand a small object to Qin Yiyan.

"This is..."

"The day of the appointment with Bai Yufei, Xin'ai was worried she would play tricks, so she prepared a Listening Device. Later, I went to the appointment in Xin'ai's place, and the Listening Device was placed on me."

"So..."

"After I fainted, the Listening Device recorded the content of a phone call between Fang Yijing and someone!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yufei's pupils shrank instantly!

Xu Xiaoxiao had been watching Bai Yufei's reaction the whole time.

Discovering she was terrified, she let out a cold snort and said, "Now, let's listen to the content inside; I guarantee it will be very exciting!"

No, she couldn't let anyone else hear this content!

A ruthless look appeared in Bai Yufei's eyes, and she moved to snatch it!

But Qin Yiyan pushed her away without mercy!

He then took out the earphones for the Listening Device and put them into his ears.

Bai Yufei was extremely panicked!

She stared unblinkingly at Qin Yiyan and shouted, "Brother, don't listen to it! That must be forged! That is her method of framing me!"

Bai Yufei was screaming, hoping to use such a clumsy method to stop Qin Yiyan from hearing the content in the earphones clearly.

But...

How could that be possible?

Qin Yiyan heard every single word clearly!

His gaze gradually turned icy cold.

When he looked at Bai Yufei again...

He rushed over in a few steps, raised his hand, and slapped her across the face!

Slap—

Bai Yufei was stunned by the blow!

She lay on the ground, then turned her head bit by bit, staring at Qin Yiyan in disbelief.
