Chapter 2121: Mother and Daughter Team Up to Act

Jiang Motian reacted quickly, opening her mouth to provide a fabricated excuse.

Regardless of whether this excuse was true or false, it was impossible for anyone to find fault with it.

However...

Not being able to find fault did not mean it was convincing.

Su Kexuan looked at Jiang Motian in silence.

Afterward, she explained: "Qingkong took some photos of Jiang Mobai and plans to exhibit them, so I'm asking Jiang Mobai for his thoughts on his behalf."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Motian put on a look of sudden realization.

But in her heart, she knew very well that Su Kexuan was lying!

Jiang Baobao also knew that what Su Kexuan said was not the truth.

Yet, her attention was drawn to something else: "Mobai, did Qingkong really take photos of you?"

"Yeah, and they're actually quite handsome."

Jiang Mobai sincerely felt they were handsome.

He had a premonition that once the photos were enlarged and exhibited, they would be truly stunning!

Perhaps... even Su Kexuan would be captivated by his charm!

Jiang Mobai fantasized secretly.

But who would have thought, his mother would be the first to deflate his ego: "Qingkong's skills are superb; even if he took photos of a pig, it would still have style."

What, a pig?

What kind of terrible analogy is that!

After hearing this, Jiang Mobai was not pleased.

He was about to open his mouth to retort.

Su Kexuan, however, asked Jiang Mobai first: "So, do you agree to Qingkong exhibiting your photos?"

"Of course!"

"Then there's no problem."

After saying this, Su Kexuan smiled and said to Jiang Baobao: "Thank you for the hospitality today, I'll be taking my leave."

This time, she really left.

And as soon as Su Kexuan was gone, Jiang Motian grabbed her mother's sleeve, ready to slip away.

However...

"Wait a moment!"

Jiang Mobai's voice made the mother and daughter, who were sneaking off, stop in their tracks simultaneously.

Amidst a sense of unease, they saw Jiang Mobai leaning on his crutches, slowly circling around to stand in front of them.

Afterward, Jiang Mobai asked a question: "What did you two hear just now? This time, tell the truth, no trying to gloss over it!"

Well, Jiang Motian's performance just now could only keep the situation from being too awkward.

It could not prevent the inevitable reckoning.

What was meant to come would always come!

Jiang Baobao sighed inwardly.

At the same time, her mind was racing, thinking about how to answer Jiang Mobai's question.

But before she could think of anything, Jiang Motian launched a preemptive strike: "Jiang Mobai, can you show some backbone!"

Her questioning left Jiang Mobai completely stunned.

Jiang Baobao also looked at Jiang Motian with surprise and suspicion, not understanding what her daughter was up to again.

Amidst their confusion, Jiang Motian spoke again: "Can't you be more open about concern between friends?"

"Concern between friends? Did you hear..."

"Yeah, I heard it. You're worried that Su Kexuan might be deceived by a man! It's normal for you to be worried like that; if Momo had male classmates surrounding her, you'd be worried too."

Jiang Motian was muddying the waters.

And her obfuscation was exactly what Jiang Mobai wanted.

Because Jiang Mobai did not want anyone to see his hidden thoughts.

But he did not completely let down his guard.

With a roll of his eyes, Jiang Mobai asked: "Momo is my younger sister, so it's only natural for me to care about her. But Su Kexuan..."

"You've known Kexuan for many years, is it not allowed to care about her? Besides, she's also a good friend of mine and Momo's. It's perfectly normal for you to care about her for our sake!"

"In other words... my concern won't make you misunderstand, especially Mom?"

"Of course! It's your own fidgeting that makes people misunderstand!"

Jiang Motian's outburst dispelled much of Jiang Mobai's guard.

But...

Jiang Mobai looked at Jiang Baobao again.

And Jiang Baobao had already learned the essence from Jiang Motian's performance.

Seeing Jiang Mobai look over, she immediately straightened her expression and said: "Have you been staying at home for too long, and now you like to let your imagination run wild? I noticed this problem a while ago, how about..."

Seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Jiang Mobai immediately interrupted his mother: "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"We're all family, don't hide your illness for fear of treatment."

"I'm really fine, and the problem isn't with me!"

"Then whose fault is it?"

Jiang Mobai paused in his tone, then hesitated as he said, "Su Kexuan rarely defends others, but just now, she was actually concerned about that photographer..."

His attitude carried a sense of leading the conversation.

He hoped his mother and younger sister would stand on his side.

No matter what, he had to prevent Su Kexuan from being entangled with Qingkong first!

However... Jiang Baobao did not think there was any problem with this.

She raised an eyebrow and said as a matter of course, "So what if she defended him? Kexuan is single; even if she finds a boyfriend, there is nothing wrong with that!"

Finding a boyfriend...

Thinking that Su Kexuan might very likely become a couple with another man, Jiang Mobai felt a tightness in his chest.

Jiang Motian chimed in with her mother: "It's a pity, Kexuan's heart isn't set on that, otherwise I would have already helped her scout for a boyfriend."

Jiang Baobao asked, "Why, does Kexuan not want to date?"

"She is too busy."

"Busy is not an excuse; wasn't Xingyan busy back then? When fate arrives, you can see eye to eye."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of something.

She was seen looking at Jiang Motian with a smile, proposing a suggestion: "How about I help Kexuan scout for one!"

Her mother's decision made Jiang Motian feel it was unbelievable.

She was about to open her mouth to deny it.

But when she saw her mother wink at her...

Jiang Motian realized that her mother was doing it on purpose.

This discovery made Jiang Motian change her mind, and she said with a smile, "That would be too great!"

"It's not great at all!"

Jiang Mobai interrupted their conversation in a gruff voice.

Jiang Baobao asked a question she already knew the answer to: "What is not great about it?"

"Because... your judgment is poor, you will find an unsuitable person for Su Kexuan!"

"Then don't you worry, my judgment is excellent."

"That still... hey, you two stop!"

Before Jiang Mobai had finished speaking, the mother and daughter walked back arm in arm.

They did not listen to Jiang Mobai's attempts to make them stay either.

It was as if the person roaring behind them was just a puff of air.

This made Jiang Mobai so angry he could not stand it, and he even lifted his foot to stomp.

As a result, he happened to hit his injury, and the pain made him gasp sharply.

Once the pain eased a little, Jiang Mobai became dejected again.

He looked up at the night sky, thinking to himself that if Su Kexuan really met her true love, should he... let go?

Just at this moment, a meteor streaked across the sky.

The meteor flashed and vanished.

If one were not lucky enough, one would certainly miss it.

Jiang Mobai was stunned at first, then filled with pleasant surprise.

He even muttered to the sky: "You also think I should fight for it, don't you? Then... I will try fighting for it!"

A fighting spirit reappeared on Jiang Mobai's face.

Meanwhile, Jiang Motian, who had walked back to the living room, let out a soft breath.

Then she muttered: "That was really close just now!"

Jiang Baobao also felt it was dangerous.

She had not expected Su Kexuan to be so sensitive; even though she had hidden it well, she had still been discovered.

Taking a long breath, Jiang Baobao asked: "Mobai shouldn't suspect that we were eavesdropping on purpose, right?"
