Chapter 40: Chapter 40 is deceptive

"Son, did you misunderstand her?" Bai Yuhua, although she trusted her son’s words, still found it hard to believe this about Cheng Li.

"I heard it with my own ears. How could it be a misunderstanding?" Mu Qiancheng, seeing that his mother didn’t believe him, told her about how he eavesdropped.

Upon hearing her son’s words, Bai Yuhua finally believed. She wasn’t a fool, and recalling the commotions Jiang Xue caused at home after she left every time, her heart sank slightly.

Before, she never thought much about it. But now, thinking it over, she realized that Cheng Li was indeed, as her son said, not a good person.

She never expected that someone as young as Cheng Li could have such deep scheming thoughts, using deceit so skillfully.

Indeed, you can’t judge a book by its cover, just like you can’t measure the sea with a cup.

"Son, it was my fault. I always thought she was a good person. Don’t worry, from now on, I won’t be fooled by her again." After recognizing her mistake, Bai Yuhua reflected on herself.

"Mom, as long as we know about this in our hearts, that’s enough. Don’t make it too obvious, or she might harm Xue’er in the end."

"Alright, I got it." Bai Yuhua nodded in agreement. As long as she was wary of Cheng Li in her heart, on the surface, things would remain unchanged.

"By the way, you just said that Cheng Li wanted Xue’er to divorce you. What did Xue’er say?" Bai Yuhua thought of this issue, became worried again, and couldn’t help but ask.

"Mom, don’t worry. Xue’er said she won’t divorce me."

"Is that so? That’s good, that’s good." Bai Yuhua eased her mind, and then went back to the field.

Mu Qiancheng waited until his mother left, then went back to his room to see Jiang Xue.

"Did mom leave?" Jiang Xue asked as she saw Mu Qiancheng enter the room. Thinking about how Bai Yuhua saw her hugging Mu Qiancheng just now, Jiang Xue still felt a bit awkward.

"She left, went to the field."

"What did mom say?" Jiang Xue thought about what had happened just now and felt a bit unsure how to face Mu Qiancheng. Honestly, in her previous life, living for decades, apart from Mu Qiancheng, she had no other man, and really didn’t know how to interact with men.

Even though the man in front of her was her husband, and they had shared the most intimate moments, she often still didn’t know how to face him.

Because of this, when Mu Qiancheng was with her in the room, she had to bring up topics to ease the awkwardness between them.

"Mom said it was Cheng Li who asked her to come back." Mu Qiancheng answered while watching Jiang Xue’s expression. When he noticed the fleeting flash of hatred in Jiang Xue’s eyes, his gaze wavered.

He wondered why Jiang Xue would have such an expression. Could it be that Cheng Li had done something to Jiang Xue that he didn’t know about, causing her to realize Cheng Li wasn’t a good person?

"So that’s what it is. No wonder mom came back so suddenly." Jiang Xue’s face turned slightly cold. Clearly, Cheng Li really couldn’t stand her doing well; all that ’best friends’ talk was just deceit.

Jiang Xue didn’t understand why Cheng Li would treat her like this. She remembered she never offended Cheng Li. Not only that, but she also considered her as her best friend.

But as for Cheng Li, she backstabbed her. Why exactly was that?

Jiang Xue couldn’t figure it out and decided not to dwell on it much, instead looking at Mu Qiancheng and said, "Both dad and mom went to the fields to work, don’t you need to help them?"

"Do you want me to help them?" Mu Qiancheng raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Xue. The reason he didn’t go was because he couldn’t stop worrying about Jiang Xue.
