Chapter 672: Trying to smooth things over
So Jiang Mubai held back his temper in the morning because they all lived in the old house and were relatives. But now after seeing the other party's provocation again, Jiang Mubai didn't intend to tolerate it anymore, otherwise the other party would think he was easy to bully.
So Jiang Mubai launched an unceremonious counterattack against Chen Qingyu at the dinner table. When Jiang Jinglan heard what Jiang Mubai said, he would naturally help Chen Qingyu.
"Jiang Mubai, what's wrong with you? My mother is your elder no matter what! Who are you talking to in such a sarcastic tone?"
"Whoever thinks this is wrong is the one who should hear it. Sister Jinglan, why don't you keep pretending? Weren't you very close to me before? Why did you suddenly reveal the truth today?"
"Jiang Mubai! How dare you talk to me like that!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking and what you've done to me. I'm just warning you. Don't blame me for being rude to you next time!"
Seeing Jiang Mubai's arrogant tone, Chen Qingyu couldn't just sit there and watch, especially when Jiang Mubai threatened Jiang Jinglan in front of her. How could Chen Qingyu bear it?
"Mu Bai, what do you mean by that? You know how much your sister has cared about you recently! Why are you saying these things now? Yes, I admit that your sister Jinglan and I did treat you a little badly this morning, but you can't blame us for this. After all, we are your elders and sisters. If others knew about your behavior, they would think that we in the Jiang family are all uneducated people."
"Aunt is right, but I really have no one to teach me. Aunt and Sister Jinglan, have you forgotten that I was abducted when I was very young and was only found by my father now? If there are outsiders who look at me with tinted glasses in the future, please help me explain to them what happened to me when I was a child. In this way, perhaps others will not say anything and may even sympathize with my experience."
"As for what I said to Sister Jinglan, you should ask her what she meant. After all, Sister Jinglan knows best why I said that."
Seeing Jiang Mubai say this, Jiang Jinglan already knew that Jiang Mubai knew everything she had done. Jiang Jinglan became scared. She didn't know Jiang Mubai was so capable and had investigated all these things without her knowledge.
Seeing Jiang Mubai speaking so confidently, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Jinglan really did something to Jiang Mubai, which led to Jiang Mubai breaking up with them and telling them these things.
But no matter what, even though Chen Qingyu was confused, she couldn't ask Jiang Jinglan in front of Jiang Mubai. If she wanted to ask, she had to find a place where no one was around and ask Jiang Jinglan properly.
Moreover, Chen Qingyu didn't want to really break up with Jiang Mubai and Jiang An, so when she heard the atmosphere became so tense, she immediately tried to smooth things over.
"Mu Bai, there must be some misunderstanding here. You know your sister very well. If she didn't really care about you, why would she bring Chu Xin back to help you? So there must be some misunderstanding here. And this morning, we treated you badly when you went to visit Ah Ping. Your aunt is here to apologize to you. It was wrong for me as an elder to vent my anger about your uncle's illness on you. I'm really sorry."
Seeing that Chen Qingyu's attitude softened a lot, Jiang Mubai could no longer be tough in his heart. She was the kind of person who would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones.
Moreover, Jiang Mubai felt very uncomfortable and couldn't bear it as Chen Qingyu, as an elder, acted like this in front of her.
"I can understand my aunt's feelings. You were worried about my uncle and took care of him all night, so it was normal for you to not be able to hold back when you saw me. I see that you are the elder and I don't want to blame you."
"That's good. We don't know what's going on between your father and your uncle yet, but I've dragged you into this. This is definitely not what an elder should do. Since Mu Bai doesn't care about these things, let's not talk about them. No one is allowed to mention them in the future. Let's just let this go. Mu Bai, do you think this is okay?"
"Well, let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold."
"Okay, okay, eat, eat."
Jiang Jinglan wanted to say something else but was stopped by Chen Qingyu. Based on her understanding of her daughter, Chen Qingyu thought that what Jiang Mubai said might be true, otherwise Jiang Mubai would not have gone to such lengths to warn Jiang Jinglan in front of her.
Moreover, Chen Qingyu felt something was wrong when she saw Jiang Jinglan's attitude towards Jiang Mubai change so quickly. Now she thinks that her intuition at that time might have been true, and Jiang Jinglan might really be planning something shameful.
Chen Qingyu planned to have a good talk with Jiang Jinglan about this matter after dinner, so when she saw Jiang Jinglan was not convinced and wanted to argue with Jiang Mubai, she quickly stopped her daughter.
Seeing that Chen Qingyu kept stopping him, Jiang Jinglan didn't know what to say, but the hatred he felt towards Jiang Mubai in his heart reached an unprecedented level.
After the three people finished talking, the restaurant became quiet for a while. Jiang Mubai and the two of them ate quietly and no one spoke anymore.
Jiang Mubai finished eating first. After saying something to Chen Qingyu, she left the table and went back to her room upstairs.
After Jiang Mubai left, Jiang Jinglan couldn't help but start questioning Chen Qingyu.
"Mom! Why did you stop me from talking to Jiang Mubai just now? Are you going to let her frame me for no reason?"
"Do you really have to wait for someone to produce evidence before you give up? Then, in front of me, tell me whether I will help you or not?"
"Mom! Do you also believe what Jiang Mubai said? She is basically threatening me! And what if she is testing us?"
"She's not like you. She won't say anything she's not sure of. She must have known something when she said that. And you! Are you really doing something behind my back? Otherwise, why would Jiang Mubai say those things to you?"
"Mom, how could that be! Jiang Mubai said that on purpose. Her purpose was just to avenge what happened to her this morning. She just didn't want to see the two of us get along well, so she said those words on purpose to make you suspect that I was trying to alienate our relationship."
"Don't talk about her. I'm really suspicious of you now. Didn't you have a good relationship with Jiang Mubai before? Why did you suddenly become so cold to her and even got angry with her this morning?"
"Am I not also worried about Daddy like you? Daddy is like that and I am his daughter, okay? Don't I feel bad for him? Also, I didn't sleep all night and was in a bad mood like you. And Mu Bai's visit at that time just happened to put him in the crosshairs."
