Chapter 2589

“Mom, I really… don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Despite feeling guilty, Nangong Yun still dared not easily admit to the partnership with Bei Zicheng.

Bei Qingyue looked at her deceitful face and only felt a chill in her heart.

But what use is feeling cold? She is, after all, her daughter.

“Baili Xia has already left the Mu family; what you can’t get, she won’t get either. What’s the point of going against her?”

She sighed softly, knowing her daughter better than anyone; how could she not know about Nangong Yun’s affairs?

Nangong Yun’s heart trembled, surprised that Bei Qingyue saw through so much.

“I… I…” She didn’t know what to say; at this point, is it really okay to admit?

If she admitted, would this matter reach grandmother?

“Mom, are you… going to tell grandmother your… thoughts?”

She only referred to it as Bei Qingyue’s thought, still afraid to admit anything.

Bei Qingyue truly felt sorrowful; her own daughter, even to this moment, still didn’t trust her.

“If I were to tell your grandmother, mom would have said it already during the hall interrogation.”

Why is it that even her own daughter is unwilling to trust her?

Nangong Yun was still afraid she would disclose the matter.

“I’m giving you a chance to come clean about partnering with Bei Zicheng, and I can temporarily overlook it.”

Actually, Bei Qingyue was more concerned about another issue, but now, she had to make Nangong Yun confess.

Nangong Yun kept watching her expressions; at this point, continuing to argue was pointless.

After hesitating, she finally said, “I just… I really can’t stand Baili Xia; I don’t like her staying in this house at all.”

“Mom, you don’t know how bad Baili Xia is; she really is very bad, specializing in seducing men.”

The words “seducing men” immediately added a touch of disgust to Bei Qingyue’s gaze.

Baili Xia indeed had a knack for seducing men, which is also a grievance in Bei Qingyue’s heart.

Nangong Yun had been monitoring her expressions and, seeing the disgust in her eyes, Nangong Yun immediately felt relieved.

It seems her guess was right; mom really hated Baili Xia for “seducing” men.

“Mom, you know that I was supposed to be with Jiu; both family elders had this intention, wanting to match me with him.”

“Actually, for so many years, Jiu has been very kind to me; you’ve seen it.”

“From childhood to now, whatever I’ve wanted, Jiu would give it to me.”

“He really treated me very well, always so, until that little slut appeared by his side!”

Talking about this matter, Nangong Yun’s hatred remained as intense as ever, still unresolved.

Though she knew well, the reason Mu Xiaojiu treated her well was all due to her father saving him back then.

But, good is good; everything he gave her is just that, all facts.

Jiu of the past was very accommodating to her.

All because of Baili Xia, because Baili Xia was interfering and constantly sowing discord between her and Mu Xiaojiu.

That’s why she and Mu Xiaojiu ended up in this situation.

“Mom, do you know how bad Baili Xia is? I once saw her with my own eyes, stripping naked to seduce Jiu!”

Nangong Yun gritted her teeth, tightly clenching her palm.

“Actually, she wasn’t just seducing Jiu; there was also Tianyou, Mu Xiaoyao, and even…”

She looked at Bei Qingyue, her words piercing Bei Qingyue’s heart.

“She also seduced Uncle Five!”
