"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was said by someone who knows Bai Qianmo very well. How could it be wrong?"
Du Muchen glanced meaningfully at Bai Xiruo and gave a knowing chuckle.
"So it's just hearsay? What a coincidence! I've heard a story about it too. Would you like to hear it?"
After saying that, he began to tell his story with a smile.
"Twenty years ago, a wealthy woman went to the countryside and went into premature labor in the dead of winter. She gave birth to a daughter, but the nurse mixed up the babies. The real heiress ended up at the bottom of society, while the imposter lived a comfortable life as a pampered young lady for twenty years..."
"Has anyone heard this story before?"
Du Muchen glanced at everyone, but his gaze lingered on Bai Xiruo's face for a few seconds.
Bai Xiruo's face turned deathly pale instantly, her lips twitched slightly, and she gripped Song Wanwan's hand tightly due to excessive tension.
No wonder Du Muchen has been unhappy with her these past few days; it turns out he already knows the truth.
It must have been Bai Qianmo's doing. She must have said a lot of things to slander him in front of Du Muchen.
That bitch Bai Qianmo, she just wants everyone to know about her relationship with the Bai family.
Song Wanwan winced in pain and looked at Bai Xiruo with a puzzled expression.
"Senior Sister Xi Ruo, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"
Du Muchen raised his eyebrows slightly, like a smiling Buddha.
“When your senior sister Xi Ruo told you the story, she only told half of it. I filled in the gaps for her. She was probably touched.”
Bai Qianmo suppressed a laugh and glanced at Du Muchen, having never seen anyone so humiliating.
However, she likes it.
It's obvious who deliberately sent Song Wanwan those words today.
Bai Xiruo is adept at using others to do her dirty work, and she likes to speak ambiguously, making you misunderstand, and then she puts on an innocent and aggrieved expression.
Compared to Song Wanwan, Bai Xiruo is much more cunning.
Bai Xiruo thought to herself that the most important thing at the moment was not to deal with Bai Qianmo, but to find a way to shut Du Muchen up.
If he were to continue speaking, although he did not name names, it would be easy for people to associate him with Bai Qianmo.
After much deliberation, Bai Xiruo decided to step forward and take full responsibility for all the mistakes.
This would not only shut Du Muchen up, but also win her favor with everyone, making her appear magnanimous and forbearing.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiruo stepped forward, her face full of guilt.
"Qianmo, it's all my fault. Perhaps some of the things I said caused Wanwan to misunderstand and humiliate you in public. I sincerely apologize to you and promise to be extra careful with my words in the future."
Bai Qianmo lowered her gaze and landed on Bai Xiruo's intertwined hands. Those fair hands, because they were extremely restrained, were tinged with a blood-red color.
A cold expression flashed across Bai Qianmo's face, and she slightly curled the corners of her lips.
“If a person tells one lie, they have to tell countless lies to cover it up. Bai Xiruo, whether you are intentionally slandering me or speaking unintentionally, you know best in your heart. Originally, I didn’t bother to argue with you, but from now on, if I hear similar words from anyone else, I will expose everything and let everyone know what kind of person you are, this so-called young lady of the Bai family.”
His words were like a sharp knife, piercing Bai Xiruo's throat.
Bai Xiruo trembled with anger, her heart filled with unease.
Bai Qianmo stopped looking at her and turned to look at Li Yushu, who had a blank expression on his face.
“Mr. Li, I’ll be going back in a friend’s car later, so you don’t need to worry about it.”
Although Li Yushu revealed his relationship with Bai Xiruo today, whether he and Bai Xiruo are together or not is none of her business, and she doesn't want to provoke either of them.
After saying that, Bai Qianmo left.
Li Yushu opened his mouth, but did not call out her name.
Bai Qianmo's words just now made it very clear that she didn't want to have too much to do with him.
And today's farce was indeed started by him.
"Brother Yushu, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that it would cause such a big misunderstanding for Qianmo."
After everyone left, Bai Xiruo walked sadly toward Li Yushu.
Li Yushu glared at her with a dark look in his eyes: "Xi Ruo, you must be hiding a lot from me, right?"
Others might not have understood Du Muchen's veiled remarks, but he vaguely sensed their deeper meaning.
He had heard his mother mention that the year Han Songyan gave birth to Bai Xiruo, because Grandpa Bai went to visit the grassroots, Han Songyan and Bai Kangyan went to the countryside together, and Bai Xiruo was born there.
Considering the striking resemblance between Bai Qianmo and Han Songyan, and Bai Kangyan's attitude towards Bai Qianmo, it seems that the whole truth is about to be revealed.
A hint of panic flashed in Bai Xiruo's eyes.
"Brother Yushu, don't you even believe me anymore? I can tolerate Qianmo misunderstanding me, but you can't not believe me."
"I really don't know why Qianmo said those threatening things to me just now. As for Du Muchen, he and Qianmo are quite close, so he must have heard those words from Qianmo. But that's not the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother yourself. She's the one who knows the most about this."
Looking at the girl in front of him, her face streaked with tears, Li Yushu felt a pang of pity.
“Xi Ruo, I’m just an outsider and it’s not appropriate for me to ask too many questions. I just hope that you can get along peacefully with Qian Mo. Qian Mo lives in the Bai family and feels like she’s living under someone else’s roof. No matter what your relationship is, since the Bai family has already accepted her, you can’t look at people with prejudice.”
