Chapter 1272 - Making Hong Jinyun Feel Incredibly Awkward (2/2)

Hong Jinyun’s mother kept eyeing Bai Xiaonian’s stomach. She had clearly seen so much blood that day, so why didn’t Bai Xiaonian suffer a miscarriage?

Noticing the probing gaze from Hong Jinyun’s mother, Bai Xiaonian’s lips curled as she raised a hand and gently caressed her stomach.

“Mom…” Hong Jinyun pinched her mother’s hand.

Hong Jinyun’s mother snapped out of her daze, supporting Hong Jinyun as she walked down the stairs with much difficulty…

Hong Jinyun seemed really weak, for her legs quivered with every step she took. Hong Jinyun’s mother cautiously said to her, “Be careful, walk slowly… don’t hurry! Your body is too weak! I told you not to come, yet you wouldn’t listen!”

Bai Xiaonian raised her brows slightly, sensing that the mother-and-daughter duo was putting on an act. She lowered her gaze and smiled faintly.

Lu Jinnan’s face was tense as he stood next to Bai Xiaonian, holding her, his eyes dark and emotionless.

“Jinnan, Miss Bai…” Hong Jinyun looked at Bai Xiaonian, speaking sincerely. “I brought my mother here to apologize to you and your father today! I’m very sorry my mother caused the two of you to suffer an injury! I really don’t know how I can redeem my sins!”

“Didn’t you come here because Jinnan stopped giving you money, so you’re unable to keep still?” Bai Xiaonian’s lips curled as she asked, her expression carrying a hint of perplexity.

Who didn’t know how to act?

Hong Jinyun’s mother’s expression changed instantly. “Slut, I knew it was you who sweet-talked Lu Jinnan into stopping his financial aid towards us!”

“Mom! Can you shut up!” Hong Jinyun shouted, then started to get breathless. Her hand clutched her chest, and she looked like she might collapse at any moment. “We came here to apologize, not to quarrel! Can you stop saying these overboard words!”

Hong Jinyun’s mother forced herself to swallow back what she was about to say. With her brows furrowed, she glowered at Bai Xiaonian, restraining her temper.

Before coming, Hong Jinyun had promised her mother that so long as her mother acted according to her instructions, to not overly meddle in this matter… to not do extra things, to apologize when she asked her to, Hong Jinyun guaranteed she would get Lu Jinnan to guarantee her mother’s future.

This was the reason Hong Jinyun’s mother was so submissive today.

“I didn’t come here because of the financial aid. You misunderstand me, Miss Bai…”

Before Hong Jinyun could finish her words, Bai Xiaonian interrupted her. “Miss Hong, do you have some sort of misunderstanding about my status? I’m married, so you may call me Mrs. Lu! Miss… is a form of address for unmarried ladies.”

Afraid that Bai Xiaonian would get angry, Lu Jinnan stared coldly at Hong Jinyun. He whipped out his phone and dialed his assistant’s number, putting it on speakerphone mode…

The call got through. The assistant hurriedly asked, “Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?”

Upon hearing the assistant’s voice, Hong Jinyun was flustered momentarily, afraid he would tell Lu Jinnan that she had come to look for Lu Jinnan previously. But very quickly, she regained her composure. It was fine even if he told Lu Jinnan. After all, she was only there to apologize, and showing up two or three times only went to show her sincerity.

“I asked you to stop all financial aid towards Hong Jinyun and her mother. The outcome of you completing the task… is to have them show up before me?” Lu Jinnan sounded extremely impatient.

He refused to speak with Hong Jinyun and directly called his assistant to rebuke him for his incompetence. He was completely ignoring Hong Jinyun, making Hong Jinyun feel incredibly awkward.
