Chapter 1007: The 80th Birthday Banquet (Part 28)
It’s hard to say whether Old Madam Shen fell on purpose, or if it was the doing of Old Madam Mu or Mu Haiyun.
No matter who it was, to let an eighty-year-old lady fall like that shows a malevolent mind, utterly devoid of any compassion.
Regardless of which of the three it was, whether they’re blood relatives or lifelong friends of Old Madam Shen, the consequence of this seemingly simple fall is surely clear to everyone.
It’s precisely because of this that the person responsible appears even more ruthless and heartless.
Mu Yi was just about to speak to his youngest daughter when he saw the calm-looking Bai Chenyao already beside her, holding her hand. Mu Yi swallowed his words.
With Bai Chenyao there, he felt reassured.
Yet, for something like this to happen during the old man’s eightieth birthday, the truth must be thoroughly investigated.
To fall inexplicably and get a fracture in the lower leg is certain, but given Old Madam Shen’s age and frailty, it’s hard to guarantee no other injuries.
As Bai Chenyao took Mu Tiantian’s hand and prepared to leave, Mu Tiantian suddenly remembered Song Xiaozhi was still in her room and turned quickly.
"Muse will take her away!"
Mu Tiantian blinked and nodded.
"That’s the best possible outcome!"
If she goes too late now, it wouldn’t be good; it would only allow ill-intentioned people to blame her intentionally.
The spot was just outside the camera’s view, showing that the person who took action had already scoped out the location.
Once in the car, Bai Chenyao held Mu Tiantian in his arms.
Looking at the peaceful and obedient Mu Tiantian, whose eyes were especially cool, and at her slightly furrowed brows, he spoke softly.
"Are you scared?"
Mu Tiantian lifted her head and looked at Bai Chenyao with great surprise.
"I didn’t do it, why should I be scared?"
Looking at her big eyes, clear and pure, Bai Chenyao’s gaze grew deep and dark, and he quietly watched her for a while before explaining lightly.
"Sometimes, certain things may not be done by you, but it can seem like you did them!"
Mu Tiantian’s heart skipped a beat, and she clearly understood Bai Chenyao’s meaning.
Just like how Old Madam Shen’s fall today, no matter if she didn’t do it, if Old Madam Shen insists she did, most people would likely believe Old Madam Shen.
"It doesn’t matter, if Old Madam Shen insists it was me, even if I had a hundred mouths, I couldn’t explain it away."
Spreading her hands, Mu Tiantian smiled very sweetly and cutely, truly unafraid, even a light gleam flashing in her eyes, clearly enjoying the show.
Such a Mu Tiantian fell into Bai Chenyao’s eyes, causing him to squint slightly, pulling her closer, and his voice softened.
"She doesn’t have the chance to speak!"
Mu Tiantian: "..."
What does that mean?
A coldness flashed across Bai Chenyao’s eyes as he looked at Mu Tiantian’s clear and bright eyes, secretly thinking she was still too innocent and pure.
Knowing that Old Madam Shen’s fall wasn’t accidental but caused by the Mu Family, doesn’t she realize that Old Madam Shen, furious, would reveal the perpetrator directly?
The person who took action, to prevent any mishaps, naturally wouldn’t leave any potential trouble behind.
If they can target Old Madam Shen, it’s clear they’ve lost all conscience and humanity, only focused on getting what they desire.
As Bai Chenyao thought of this, Mu Tiantian suddenly sat up straight, her expression serious.
"I understand now!"
