Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Malicious Intentions

Unexpectedly, she saw this scene. This was hardly a quarrel; the two were clearly being affectionate, weren’t they? She couldn’t figure out why Cheng Li had to deceive her like that.

However, it was fortunate that Cheng Li deceived her, otherwise she wouldn’t have known that her son’s and daughter-in-law’s relationship had improved.

Now that she knew, she was relieved.

Bai Yuhua’s eyebrows arched with delight again, feeling extraordinarily happy. At this moment, she was even happier than on Mu Qiancheng’s wedding day.

With a grandson and her son and daughter-in-law’s relationship slowly recovering, she felt there was much more to look forward to in life.

Right, she had rushed back just now, leaving the hoe in the field, she needed to retrieve it.

Thinking this, with a smile on her face, Bai Yuhua was about to head out.

At this moment, Mu Qiancheng, because Jiang Xue was overly shy and had covered her face with the quilt, had to come out first. Upon coming out, he saw his mother, who had ruined his good moment, trying to sneak away and couldn’t help but frown as he called out, "Mom!"

The sudden shout startled Bai Yuhua. She turned her head to see her son’s not-so-pleased face approaching her.

Bai Yuhua inwardly thought, "Not good," and was about to make a run for it. Unexpectedly, Mu Qiancheng seemed to know in advance and said, "Mom wouldn’t be trying to run away, would she?"

Knowing her son had seen through her intention, Bai Yuhua had to abandon the idea of escaping, then turned around with a forced smile at Mu Qiancheng, saying, "Qian Cheng, why did you come out? Where’s Xue’er?"

"She’s asleep!" Mu Qiancheng said casually, while continuously moving closer to Bai Yuhua.

As her son approached, Bai Yuhua felt an invisible pressure bearing down on her, so she unnaturally searched for a topic and asked, "Then, why aren’t you with her?"

"She won’t let me!" Mu Qiancheng said nonchalantly, his gaze landing on Bai Yuhua’s face, capturing all her guilty expressions.

Mu Qiancheng’s eyes flickered as he realized it was unlikely for his mother to return so quickly from working in the field and coincidentally break up his good moment with Jiang Xue. Someone must have said something.

With that thought, Mu Qiancheng had a guess in his mind but still wanted to confirm it, so he asked, "Mom, why did you come back so suddenly?"

"Oh, I just suddenly missed my grandson and came back to have a look." Bai Yuhua found a random excuse, not thinking ill of Cheng Li at all.

"Mom, you’re lying!" Mu Qiancheng looked at Bai Yuhua and ruthlessly exposed her lie.

"You child, what’s wrong if I came back? Am I wrong just because I interrupted your business? Is there any need to question me like this?" Bai Yuhua, having her lie exposed, was unhappy and snapped at Mu Qiancheng.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiancheng knew his mother had misunderstood him, so he said, "Mom, I didn’t mean anything by it. I just wanted to ask whether someone said something to you, prompting your sudden return."

"How did you know?" Bai Yuhua looked at her son in astonishment, unable to figure out how he knew even this.

"Mom, did you forget what your son does for a living?" Mu Qiancheng chuckled, confirming his suspicion. Cheng Li was really no good.

If she was leaving, she should just leave, but she even deliberately had his mother come back. If his mother returned while he and Jiang Xue were fighting and discussing divorce, what would she think?

She would definitely dislike Jiang Xue even more.

Because, originally, his mother didn’t like Jiang Xue very much, and if it weren’t for his sake, she would have already driven Jiang Xue away.
