Chapter 524: Stepping on Two Boats_1

“Don’t kneel here, it’s disgraceful!”

Qin Yimo couldn’t bear it and tried to help Lu Xuening up.

However, Lu Xuening grabbed her hand unwillingly to stand.

“Mom, please explain to Jin, I really didn’t know about this matter, I would never let Guisu hurt him.”

“Guisu didn’t intend to harm me, his target was Baili Xia.”

Dongfang Jin glanced at her indifferently, his eyes devoid of much emotion.

His gaze made Lu Xuening panic.

In the past, even when he did not show much emotion towards her, at least there were bits of pity.

Because she once saved his life, because he always felt like he owed her.

But now, why was even that bit of pity gone, replaced instead with impatience?

Finally, he started to grow impatient with her!

“Jin, are you suggesting that I ordered Guisu to hurt Baili Xia?”

She wiped away her tears, her voice husky.

“Even if Xiaxia has done things wrong, she has lived with me for so many years, I am heartbroken that she has gone astray, but how could I bear to harm her?”

“I am always soft-hearted, always hesitant, you know, you all know.”

Seeing Dongfang Jin didn’t want to deal with her, she turned to Qin Yimo.

“Mom, you know clearly that Baili Xia has always been the one to harm me, when have I ever laid a hand on her?”

“You’re still slandering her.” Dongfang Ji, who had been sitting to the side, finally couldn’t stand it.

He stood up, looking at her coldly: “When has Baili Xia ever hurt you?”

“Do you not see the injuries on my face and body?”

Even in front of everyone, she adopted an antagonistic attitude towards Dongfang Ji.

Even she didn’t expect Guisu to do such a thing.

She was also very scared now.

Where could she maintain her usual gentleness and softness?

Suddenly, she became hot-tempered!

However, her words reminded Qin Yimo of what had happened a few days ago.

With a light sigh, she helped her up gently.

“Get up, Jin has never said he blames you, let’s sit down and talk about this calmly after you stand up.”

“Mom, if you don’t trust me, then I won’t stand up.”

Lu Xuening continued to sob, looking miserable as if she was drenched in tears.

“I don’t even know where Guisu is right now.

His hatred for Baili Xia is just normal human emotion.

But, what does all this have to do with me?”

“All the resentment between Guisu and Baili Xia originates from you.”

Unlike others, Dongfang Ji had no pity for her.

He just pointed out the facts harshly.

“If Guisu was going to attack Baili Xia, then you must have orchestrated it.”

“It wasn’t me, really not me!”

Lu Xuening shook her head frantically, her tears falling like rain.

“Ji, I am soon to be your sister-in-law, we’re soon to be family.

Why do you always side with outsiders and wrong me?”

Her words deeply touched Qin Yimo’s heart.

She never liked Baili Xia much in the first place.

After all, a woman who had been involved with her older son was now trying to seduce her second son.

How could she like such a woman?

It will be troublesome to have such a woman in the family; she will inevitably turn her sons against each other sooner or later.

If she had to choose between the two, she would choose Lu Xuening, even if she was wrong.

A daughter-in-law can be forgiven for many things, but one thing that cannot be forgiven is playing both ends against the middle.

Especially when the owners of the two boats are her sons!
