Mubai glanced meaningfully at her before turning to his mother and Tianxin. He announced clearly, "I've heard everything you said."
What!
Tianxin widened her eyes in fear and shock. Her face paled considerable.
Even Old Mrs. Xi couldn't hide the trepidation in her eyes. She explained hurriedly, "Son, don't believe everything you heard. Xia Xinghe likes to twist her words around…"
"Mom, what exactly did the two of you do to force her out of this house?" Mubai asked directly before she could finish explaining herself.
"…" Old Mrs. Xi's face fell. "You don't believe your own mother?"
"How can I believe you?" Mubai retorted slowly. That silenced Old Mrs. Xi.
Her son was sometimes too clever for his own good. She knew she can't fool him anymore.
He had heard more than enough to come to a logical conclusion. There was no point for her to trick him with words. It wouldn't work.
