Chapter 108 - Who Is Scheming Against Whom? (9)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

By now, the matriarch could guess what Bai Xuexian was up to by the fact that the person whom Lin Qingya had brought upstairs was none other than Mu Huan’s former boyfriend!

She slapped her daughter-in-law again hard before hurrying up the stairs.

The anxiety and anger she had toward Bao Junyan had been replaced by relief. Earlier, she was upset that the man had not turned up at her banquet. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise after all. At least the damage would be within her control with this current situation!

“Mom, are you trying to split up the married couple? Don’t tell me that you got Lin Qingya to bring Gu Chenyi over so you could drug the boy and Elder Sister, and then have Bao Junyan catch them in bed?” Mu Zixuan was smart enough to guess what his mother was up to.

Bai Xuexian kept quiet.

“Mom, how could you do this?!” Her son was truly aggrieved by her this time. He had repeatedly reminded her not to create trouble for Mu Huan incessantly, but his words had fallen on deaf ears. And now, they had to clear this mess!

“Zixuan, you have to believe that I’m doing this all for your sake. Your sister is a b*tch. She’ll never lift a hand to help you as Mrs. Bao!” The woman decided to come clean when she realized she could not hide the fact anymore.

Looking at her, her son opened his mouth to say something, but he was too angry for words. In the end, he turned around to follow his grandmother, hoping that the situation could be salvaged.

Bai Xuexian followed suit. Although her plan had fallen through with Bao Junyan’s absence, the sight of her stepdaughter’s piteous state and the old woman’s fuming look would make her efforts worthwhile!

And then, a thought struck her as she followed them upstairs. This dirty linen would not be exposed as Bao Junyan did not appear today, and thus, the matriarch would definitely want her to keep this a secret. This would be an excellent opportunity to negotiate the return of the director seat. Thereafter, all she needed to do was to hold the lifeline of Mu Huan’s granny to blackmail the girl. Suddenly, she felt that her plan tonight was a success after all!

She hooked her lips into an elated smile, but the movement caused her swollen face to throb with pain. Throwing a deadly glare at the old lady, she cursed the matriarch under her breath. D*mn you, old woman! You watch out and see what I’ll do to you when you are too old to move!

Up on the second floor…

The effects of the potion on the boy in bed had subsided by the time the old lady pushed open the door to enter the room. Hearing the door open, Gu Chenyi hastily pulled down the window curtains to cover the two of them.

Like a docile, frightened little animal, Lin Qingya conveniently threw herself into his arms, and he hugged her instinctively.

When the old lady entered the room, she could tell what had happened earlier inside this place by the sight and the smell.

Just as she was about to erupt in anger, she was shocked to see that Gu Chenyi was hugging Lin Qingya instead of Mu Huan!

When Bai Xuexian saw the dumbfounded look on the old woman’s face, she reckoned it to be a look of utter despondence. Thinking that her plan had played out well and that her mother-in-law was going to faint from extreme anger, she was gloating inwardly when she, too, realized that the girl turned out to be Lin Qingya and not Mu Huan!

She instinctively reacted with shock. “Lin Qingya, what are you doing here?!”

Why did it turn out to be Lin Qingya?! How can it be this girl?! What happened?!

“Madam, how can you do this to me? You told me to bring Chenyi over to speak to Xiao Huan, but you drugged the two of them instead so you could frame them… and I became the victim in the end… Madam, how could you do this to me…?” Looking pitiful, the girl broke into uncontrollable sobs.

Although she did not tell the story in its entirety, the meaning was loud and clear!

What had happened was that Bai Xuexian had lied to Lin Qingya to get Gu Chenyi to come over to the residence. On the pretext of trying to get the boy to counsel Mu Huan, the middle-aged lady had intended to get the couple together to be drugged so she could frame them for having an indecent relationship subsequently. However, Mu Huan had gone missing whereas Lin Qingya had become the victim instead.

No one is optimistic about the marriage between the most respectable man in Yun Cheng and the most disfavored daughter of the Mu family. Their poor impression of the female protagonist — a meek, ugly, and underachieving college student — had them surmising that her husband would eventually divorce her. Mu Huan: I don't know if we'll get a divorce, but my married life has me returning home to piping hot meals, being chauffeured everywhere, and having a professor for my tutor. My happiness probably started when I met you, the perfect man who brought me to see more of this world and led me to such a wondrous life, during the toughest time of my life.
