Chapter 1537: Mediating
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai held back one person each, separating Curtis and Winston from each other.
“Why are you here? And why are you fighting all of a sudden?” Mommy Bai looked at Curtis and asked, a slight reprimanding tone in her voice. However, she felt pretty happy inwardly.
Ever since she learned about Winston and her daughter, she was so furious that she wanted to thrash him. Just as she was thinking about this, Curtis unexpectedly showed up to beat him up.
Looking at Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai’s reactions, Curtis could guess that Winston had already been exposed. He said, “Xiaofan told me that someone’s abducted his older sister. I’m here to stand up for her.”
At the mention of Bai Qingqing, a vexed look appeared on Mommy Bai’s face.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingqing narrowed her eyes and looked towards Bai Xiaofan, who was standing at the side, a blaming look evident in her eyes.
Bai Xiaofan complained inwardly: Teacher Ke must have deliberately dragged me into this as revenge for not telling him the truth. I knew I shouldn’t have offended Teacher Ke, of all people. He’s too vengeful!
Meanwhile, Daddy Bai was also trying to comfort Winston. “Don’t be calculative. Ke Di’s always been that fiery-tempered. If he’s done anything wrong, I’ll apologize on his behalf. Just let this matter rest, okay?”
Winston hadn’t taken this to heart initially. But when he heard Daddy Bai’s words of ‘comfort’, flames of fury surged in his heart.
Both of them were Qingqing’s spouses, and while he was ostracized in every possible way, Curtis was being shielded by Qingqing’s parents like family.
Bai Qingqing washed a towel and pressed it at the corner of Winston’s lips. “Come over and rinse your mouth.”
“Mm.” Winston followed his mate into the washroom.
Daddy Bai couldn’t hold back a smile anymore. With a beam, he walked to Curtis’s side and patted his shoulder. “Kid, you sure can fight.”
Curtis glanced in the direction of the washroom and said, “Since Qingqing called me ‘Brother’, I’m forever her older brother. In the future, if you want to deal with him, call me anytime.”
Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai smiled. But at the thought of the future, the smiles on their faces turned bitter.
Even if Winston was sincere towards their Qingqing, he didn’t look like he worked a decent job. What if he made enemies and implicated Qingqing? And what was Qingqing to do if Winston got arrested by the police?
When Bai Qingqing and Winston came out, Daddy Bai and Mommy Bai restrained their expressions. There was neither joy nor obvious dislike on their faces. Only, their countenances were dark, which made the atmosphere at home dark and gloomy as well.
Mommy Bai said to Winston, “You must be busy with work. There’s nothing much today. If you have things to do, you can go ahead.”
Mommy Bai was being polite enough by not chasing him out directly. When most people heard this, since someone was giving them an out, they would play along. However, Winston said with a serious look, “I have nothing on today.”
Mommy Bai: “…” She regretted being so subtle. If she’d known that Winston was so thick-skinned, she would have chased him out directly.
“Cough! Mom, don’t you have to work today?” asked Mommy Bai.
Mommy Bai rolled her eyes. “With you like this, can we go to work with peace of mind?”
Bai Qingqing pouted and said, “What like this? Am I not fine and well?”
Mommy Bai flared up. “You dare to quibble!”
Bai Qingqing immediately surrendered. She raised both hands and said, “I was wrong. I was wrong. Stop scolding me.”
Mommy Bai said nothing. The house instantly became so quiet it felt awkward. Bai Qingqing glanced at the time and said, “Mom, we’ll go buy groceries for dinner.”
When Mommy Bai heard that her daughter was going to go out with Winston alone, her countenance instantly turned awful. Just as she was about to say something, Curtis suddenly spoke.
He patted Mommy Bai’s shoulder comfortingly, before saying coldly to Bai Qingqing, “Go.”
Bai Qingqing opened her mouth, wanting to ask if he wanted to go along with them.
Since Curtis didn’t ask to, there was no reason for Bai Qingqing to ask him along. Hence, she pulled Winston out the door.
