Chapter 84: Jin Mother’s Internal Conflict

Pei Qingqing, having suffered a setback downstairs, stormed up to the second floor.

She went to Jin Mother’s room.

“Auntie, Baiyan is going too far! He’s locked the access to the third floor, and we can’t even get up there!” Pei Qingqing said angrily.

Jin Mother rubbed her still-aching head and looked at Pei Qingqing with some hesitation.

“Qingqing, why don’t we just give up?”

Upon hearing this, Pei Qingqing’s face turned even uglier, and a surge of anger welled up in her heart. However, she hadn’t reached the point of being so foolish as to offend Jin Mother.

She sat down next to Jin Mother, took her arm, suppressed the anger in her heart, and softened her tone.

“Auntie, how can you back down now! If Baiyan ends up with Jin Mo, then you and Uncle Jin will have no descendants!”

Jin Mother frowned. This was also a worry in her and Jin Huaiyang’s hearts.

“But… Baiyan clearly still only cares about Jin Mo!” she said hesitantly.

“Jin Mo only found Baiyan a few days ago, right? No matter how close they get, it won’t be as close as before. We need to act quickly!”

Jin Mother was stunned. “Act? What kind of action?”

Pei Qingqing lowered her head, leaned close to Jin Mother’s ear, and whispered, “Get him to consummate the relationship, so Baiyan has no room for regret!”

Jin Mother was completely dumbfounded, staring at Pei Qingqing for a long time, unsure how to react.

“Auntie, what other way is there? If I get pregnant, won’t you have descendants?”

Jin Mother shook her head repeatedly. “No, no, that will infuriate Jin Mo and Baiyan!”

Pei Qingqing gritted her teeth. “He’s already had physical intimacy with me, what more can he do to me? Over the years, I’ve thought of countless ways abroad, and ultimately found that the simplest and most brutal method is the most effective in achieving the goal!”

Jin Mother shook her head repeatedly. “No, absolutely not! Qingqing, I’m telling you, you better not have such thoughts, otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll end up losing the bait and the fish!”

Pei Qingqing let go of Jin Mother’s arm.

“Auntie, I’m not just doing this for myself. If you’re not going to help me, then I’ll find my own way!”

With that, she got up and walked out.

Jin Mother watched Pei Qingqing’s retreating figure, her head aching even more.

She really regretted it!

Pei Qingqing’s temperament was impulsive. Once she had this idea, she probably wouldn’t give up easily, especially with the even more scheming Ruan Ying involved, making things even more complicated.

Jin Mother didn’t know if she should tell Jin Baiyan. After thinking for a while, she dialed Jin Huaiyang’s phone.

She told Jin Huaiyang what Pei Qingqing had said.

This time, Jin Huaiyang was silent for even longer. Finally, he said, “Just pretend you don’t know anything! If she succeeds, that’s naturally good. If she doesn’t, you can’t be blamed!”

Jin Mother said, “Okay, I understand!”

“Come back as soon as possible, preferably before they take action!” Jin Huaiyang added.

Jin Mother thought for a moment, feeling somewhat unwilling.

“I haven’t even said a few words to Baiyan yet!”

“What is there to say? Will he even listen to you? He didn’t want to pay attention to us three years ago, otherwise, he wouldn’t have transferred his shares to Jin Mo without a word! Besides, if you’re there, how will you explain yourself? Maybe Baiyan will think we came up with the idea again!”

Jin Mother thought for a moment and sighed, “Alright, I’ll leave tomorrow morning. My head hurts a bit now!”

“Okay, get some rest and leave tomorrow morning!”

After hanging up, Jin Mother stood up, pulled open the curtains, and walked onto the balcony, wanting to breathe in some fresh air.

Her gaze suddenly fell on the mountain opposite, and the expression on her face changed drastically.

She was very shocked!

“This… how is this possible?”

Jin Mother pressed her hand to her chest, and her entire body slumped to the ground!

Tears fell drop by drop!

Around 5 PM, Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao strolled back from outside, bringing back some dishes.

Bai Xian had already taken Jin Mo into the small kitchen.

Xu Jiahao couldn’t help but tease.

“Jin Mo, you’re Bai Xian’s accessory now, taking you everywhere he goes!”

Jin Mo snorted and raised his head, looking proud.

“Yeah, so what? Are you envious, jealous, and hateful?”

Xu Jiahao “tsk”ed and gave Jin Mo a disdainful look.

“Can’t you have a little self-respect!”

“Nope! I just love hanging off Bai Xian’s belt, so what, you got a problem with that!”

Bai Xian let out a low chuckle.

Xu Jiahao was speechless. He finally walked to Xiao Feiwu’s side and sighed.

“People in love have questionable IQs!”

Xiao Feiwu took out the packed dishes while laughing.

Bai Xian separately made a bowl of egg noodles for Jin Mo.

“I want to eat potato stew with chicken too!” Jin Mo pointed at the takeaway box on the table, muttering.

Bai Xian raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Feiwu.

Xiao Feiwu pointed at a large box of potato stew with chicken and said, “Don’t worry, Jin Mo can eat this. I personally supervised Uncle Li making it. The chicken is fresh, the potatoes are sprout-free, and the seasoning only has salt and a little light soy sauce. A little sesame oil was drizzled when it came out of the pot, and a few grains of MSG were added. No other weird seasonings were added.”

Only then did Bai Xian nod and pull the potato stew with chicken in front of Jin Mo.

Jin Mo happily picked up a piece of chicken.

As they were halfway through their meal, the door to the small kitchen was knocked a few times.

Jin Mo, Xiao Feiwu, and Xu Jiahao all looked up at Bai Xian.

Bai Xian looked at Jin Mo.

Finally, Jin Mo looked at Xiao Feiwu.

Xiao Feiwu stood up and walked to the door.

“Who is it?”

Jin Mother’s voice came from outside the door.

“Feiwu, it’s me!”

Xiao Feiwu turned his head to look at Jin Mo.

Jin Mo nodded.

Only then did Xiao Feiwu open the door. “Jin Mother, what’s the matter?”

Jin Mother held a paper bag and handed it to Xiao Feiwu.

“This is the scar-removing cream that Xiao Mo asked me to find for Bai Xian. I’m bringing it to him!”

Upon hearing this, Jin Mo immediately shouted, “Right, right, I almost forgot about that!” After saying that, he asked Xiao Feiwu to take the paper bag.

“Jin Mother, um, would you like to come in and have dinner?” Jin Mo asked towards the door after receiving the paper bag.

Jin Mother was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Do you have dinner for me?”

Jin Mo nodded quickly. “Yes, we do!”

After saying that, he winked at Bai Xian.

Bai Xian glared at him, stood up, walked to the stove, turned on the fire, and prepared to make another bowl of noodles.

Jin Mother walked in, and when she saw Bai Xian preparing to make a bowl of noodles for her in front of the stove, her eyes became a little wet.

The last time she had eaten her son’s cooking was three years ago. She had always thought that she might never be able to eat it again in this lifetime.

She walked to Jin Mo’s side and said softly, “Xiao Mo, thank you!”

Jin Mo waved his hand and pointed to the paper bag in his hand.

“Jin Mother, just because you went so far to bring Bai Xian the scar-removing cream, he has to treat you to a bowl of noodles!”

Bai Xian’s eyebrows raised, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Jiahao had already dragged another stool in from outside and placed it down.

The noodles were quickly ready. Bai Xian placed the noodles in front of Jin Mother and turned around to return to Jin Mo’s side.

“Jin Mother, eat up!” Jin Mo said to Jin Mother with a smile.

Looking at Jin Mo’s smiling face, Jin Mother couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

She had almost caused Jin Mo to lose his life, but he didn’t hate her. Now, she had brought Pei Qingqing and Ruan Ying over to backstab him, but he could still smile and talk to her.

This made Jin Mother very ashamed.

The few of them started eating in silence. After finishing, Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao naturally remained the ones to clean up the kitchen.

Jin Mother walked to Bai Xian’s side.

“Baiyan, I know, you’ve changed your name to Bai Xian!”

Bai Xian had one arm around Jin Mo’s shoulder, playing with Jin Mo’s hand with the other, without even raising his eyebrows.

He had no memories and didn’t know why he disliked Jin Mother so much, but subconsciously, he felt a strange hatred.

“The name Bai Xian was given to you by your maternal grandfather when you were little, to take his surname. I didn’t expect that after so many years, you would actually use this name again!”

Jin Mo was a little surprised. He had thought that Bai Xian’s name was something his brother had randomly chosen, but he didn’t expect that it was actually given by his brother’s maternal grandfather.
