Hearing this, Baicheng immediately retorted, "Mom! She is not that kind of person."
In Baicheng’s heart, Lin Guixiang was always the purest jasmine flower.
Even after they had broken up.
He could not let his mother denigrate her like this.
"You can know the face but not the heart," Old Lady Mu glanced at Baicheng, "how do you know what kind of person she is?"
Only Baicheng couldn’t see through the little tricks of Lin Guixiang.
When she had finished speaking, Old Lady Mu continued, "It’s better that it’s over! I never liked her from the start! She is not worthy of entering our Mu Family’s door."
"Enough!" Baicheng turned to Old Lady Mu and angrily said, "I won’t allow you to speak of her like this! She is not to blame, the fault is all mine!"
This was the first time Baicheng had shouted at her, and it was because of an outsider.
Old Lady Mu was obviously taken aback.
Lin Guixiang truly was a scourge; even after their breakup, she could still manipulate Baicheng’s mind.
"Brother! How can you speak to our mom like that!" Mu Baiyu rushed over and pushed Baicheng, "Have you gone mad?"
Baicheng stumbled from the push, nearly falling over.
Crazy!
He indeed had gone mad.
If he hadn’t gone insane, how could he have made such a mess of things?
Baicheng tried hard to calm himself down, turned his head to his mother, and said, "Mom, let me tell you once more, Ah Xiang is a good woman, this has nothing to do with her, I only have myself to blame, I did not cherish her enough, it’s all my fault! I don’t want to hear any more bad words about her in the future."
Having said that, Baicheng went on, "If I remember correctly, you should be discharged tomorrow, so I will come over tomorrow morning to pick you up."
Having said this, he turned and walked away.
Watching Baicheng’s retreating figure, Old Lady Mu immediately gave Mu Baiyu a meaningful look, which Mu Baiyu understood. He quickened his pace to follow Baicheng, "Baicheng, let me take you home."
Baicheng turned to look at Mu Baiyu, "No need, I know my way."
"Let me take you anyway," Mu Baiyu sighed, "How can I be at ease seeing you like this?"
Baicheng ignored Mu Baiyu, allowing her to follow behind him.
Baicheng’s residence was near the hospital.
It was a high-end apartment.
The first thing Baicheng did when he got home was open the liquor cabinet and start drinking.
Seeing him like this, Mu Baiyu sighed, "Baicheng, alcohol is very harmful to the body, why do this for a woman?"
Baicheng didn’t speak, just kept gulping down the alcohol.
Seeing Baicheng like this, Mu Baiyu narrowed her eyes, walked out onto the balcony, and took out her cell phone to call Zheng Niannian.
"Hello, Niannian."
On the other side, Zheng Niannian was applying a facial mask. Hearing Mu Baiyu’s voice, she immediately stood up from the couch, "Sister Baiyu, what do you need me for?"
Mu Baiyu lowered her voice, "Well, Niannian, there’s something I need your help with."
"Whatever you need, Sister Baiyu, just say it," Zheng Niannian was always ready to help if she could.
Mu Baiyu sighed, "Niannian, it’s like this, Baicheng encountered some problems and might be down for a while and is now brooding with alcohol. Could you come and take care of him for a bit... do you have the time?"
Now was when Baicheng needed someone the most, and Zheng Niannian was so beautiful, Baiyu believed her brother’s mood would definitely improve upon seeing Zheng Niannian.
She couldn’t believe Zheng Niannian wouldn’t compare to some countrywoman!
Alcohol was the thing most likely to cloud one’s judgement, and adding to that the heartbreak Baicheng was experiencing, whatever happened next seemed inevitable.
With this thought, Mu Baiyu slightly curled her lips.
She eagerly anticipated her brother and Zheng Niannian coming together.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Niannian excitedly said, "Yes! Of course, where is Sister Baiyu, Brother Baicheng right now?"
"I’ll send you an address."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Baiyu sent the address to Zheng Niannian.
Upon receiving the address, Zheng Niannian did her makeup and immediately took a taxi to the apartment.
She stood at the door of Mu Baicheng’s house, took a deep breath, and then raised her hand to knock.
A few seconds later, the door opened.
It wasn’t someone else who opened the door, it was Mu Baiyu,
Seeing Zheng Niannian, Mu Baiyu said full of apologies, "I’m sorry Niannian, for troubling you to come all the way here, but I couldn’t think of anyone else but you."
Zheng Niannian said with a smile, "Sister Baiyu, you are just being too formal."
Mu Baiyu was very pleased with her future sister-in-law and immediately took Zheng Niannian’s hand and headed inside, "Come, come, come, Niannian, come in with me."
As soon as they entered the house, they smelled a strong scent of alcohol.
Then there was Mu Baicheng lying on the sofa.
Zheng Niannian asked in confusion, "Brother Baicheng, what happened? Why did you drink so much?"
Mu Baiyu sighed, "We are not quite sure..."
These things are better understood than said.
If we were to break it down directly, it wouldn’t be good for either Mu Baicheng or Zheng Niannian.
With that, Mu Baiyu continued, "Niannian, I’ll leave Baicheng in your hands, I’m heading back now."
"Okay, Sister Baiyu, you can go back. Don’t worry about here,"
Mu Baiyu picked up the backpack on the table, and Zheng Niannian saw her to the door.
After Mu Baiyu left, the large apartment was left only with the drunken Mu Baicheng and Zheng Niannian.
Zheng Niannian looked at the man who was gulping down alcohol, her eyes full of tenderness, and she gently walked over to him, "Brother Baicheng, are you okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Baicheng looked up at Zheng Niannian.
The drunken man had lost his usual composure, and even his gaze was different from usual.
"You, who are you?"
"I am Niannian." Zheng Niannian replied to Mu Baicheng while sitting next to him, her tone gentle, "Brother Baicheng, if you’re facing any troubles, you can talk to me directly, drinking more won’t solve any problems."
Zheng Niannian knew that this was the best time to foster a closer relationship with Mu Baicheng.
After all, when people are at their loneliest and most helpless, they need someone to offer warm concern.
When he heard the name ’Niannian’, Mu Baicheng’s expression changed instantly, and he pushed away Zheng Niannian’s hand, "Leave! Get out of here, get out of my house! I don’t want to see you!"
Then he cried out, "Ah Xiang, I really have nothing to do with Zheng Niannian, do you believe me, please believe me?"
Zheng Niannian stood there, her face pale.
Mu Baiyu returned to the hospital.
Old Lady Mu immediately asked, "Yuer, is everything arranged?"
"You can rest assured of me," Mu Baiyu responded with a smile, "You just wait to have a grandchild."
Have a grandchild? ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Hearing Old Lady Mu’s words, Mu Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, her gaze filled with sarcasm.
This matter wasn’t so simple!
Didn’t they know about Zheng Niannian’s physical defect?
