CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: ILL INTENT

"No, nothing!" Cheng Li waved her hand, then said, "It’s good that you didn’t go back to your parents’ home. You just had a baby, and you’re in the postpartum recovery period. You shouldn’t be out in the wind or traveling far; it’s not good for your health."

Cheng Li looked at Jiang Xue’s pale face and pretended to be concerned about her. Because she knew Jiang Xue trusted her, even if she sold Jiang Xue out, she would still trust her and even help her count the money.

"Thank you for your concern, but you still haven’t told me what you were thinking?" Unexpectedly, this time Jiang Xue didn’t let it go as Cheng Li had expected.

"Little Xue, what’s wrong with you?" Cheng Li looked at Jiang Xue in shock. How did she suddenly become a different person, going against expectations?

She was fine when I saw her this morning. How could she have changed in such a short time?

Was she possessed by something?

With such thoughts, Cheng Li scrutinized Jiang Xue and asked, "Little Xue, what happened? Why are you acting like a different person?"

"Cheng Li, tell me, how should I behave to be like myself? Should I be like before, letting you lead me by the nose, agreeing to everything you say? Is that what I should be like?"

Cheng Li was hit in her weak spot by Jiang Xue’s words and replied guiltily, "Little Xue, I...I never said that."

"Yes, you didn’t say it, but that’s what you’re thinking, right?"

"I, I didn’t think that way." Cheng Li made a weak defense and then turned her head towards Bai Yuhua and their group, seeing them watching her and Jiang Xue, she feigned an aggrieved expression and said, "Uncle Mu, Aunt Bai, please judge for me. I came with good intentions to see Little Xue, and she accused me like this. It’s really breaking my heart."

"Cheng Li, stop dodging the issue. The reason you came, whether it was truly to see me, you know it, I know it, heaven knows, and earth knows."

"Little Xue, why do you have to misunderstand me like this? I’m genuinely concerned about you." Cheng Li put on a sorrowful face, acting as if she had suffered a great grievance.

"Really? Truly concerned. If you genuinely cared about me, would you want me to divorce Qian Cheng? If you really cared, would you have said those things to my parents before understanding the situation?"

"I?" Cheng Li was at a loss for words, unable to retort Jiang Xue’s rebuttal. She realized it was difficult to gain an advantage here and went over to Mu Siwu and Bai Yuhua, saying, "Uncle Mu, Aunt Bai, you have to believe me, I didn’t do it; it’s Little Xue who misunderstood me."

Having watched Cheng Li’s act for so long, Bai Yuhua couldn’t bear it any longer and said earnestly, "Cheng Li, I’ve always thought well of you, you’re good friends with my Xue’er, and I’ve always treated you well. But why do you do such things?"

"Aunt Bai, what did I do?" Cheng Li protested again. Jiang Xue accused her, and now Bai Yuhua was doing the same. What on earth did she do wrong?

Clearly, it was Jiang Xue who wanted to divorce Mu Qiancheng, and she was just giving her a reminder. Is that wrong too?

"Cheng Li, as the saying goes, it’s better to destroy ten temples than to ruin one marriage. As Xue’er’s good friend, not only did you not persuade her to live well with Qian Cheng, but you also advised her to divorce. What are your true intentions?"
