Mother Bai stepped out of the room and looked at her daughter and Lu Yin, who, upon seeing, started crying like a little bullied flower.
"Its nothing, Auntie," Lu Yin wiped her tears off her face and then replied in a calm voice, "I just wanted to help someone; who would have thought—"
She then relayed what happened to Mother Bai in detail but the way she told the story, it was as if she was the victim and everyone else was just bullying her.
The more Lei Yan listened, the more her lips twitched; she then sneered, "What about Brother Jixuan? Did his ribs break on their own?"
"I never knew that such a thing would happen either!"
"If you hadn’t rushed to save that man, then nothing would have happened in the first place!"
"Why are you yelling at me like that? It’s not like I wanted to ignore Miss Bai. But I was scared when I saw her cut the wrist of her relative and kick her sister-in-law—" after she finished speaking, she covered her mouth with her hands as if she did not want to say it but ended up blurting it out.
Lei Yan sneered seeing her act. Though Lu Yin acted like she was not doing it out of malice, Lei Yan, who had suffered countless times under her schemes, knew that this woman was just playing another trick.
She snorted and stated, "It doesn’t matter. Since Miss Bai saved your life and your stupid actions caused her brother to be injured, you will have to compensate her. There is no way out of this."
Lu Yin closed her mouth. She wanted to discredit Bei Meiyue but at the same time she wanted to stop her brother from compensating; just as she was wondering what to do, Lu Yu parted his lips and spoke in a stern voice, "Don’t worry, Miss Lei. Since Miss Bai suffered because of our family, I will definitely do my best to compensate her."
"Brother!"
Lu Yin was unwilling but before she could say anything else, Lu Yu glanced at her sternly. Though Lu Yin caused a lot of trouble now and then, she respected her brother a lot. Seeing that her brother was staring at her as if he wanted to say something harsh but was holding back because they were standing in front of the Lei family, Lu Yin pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Lu Yu brought Lu Yin to their room while Lei Yan turned to look at her mother, who seemed a bit troubled.
"What’s the matter?" Seeing that her mother wanted to say something, Lei Yan took the initiative to question her mother.
Mother Lei caught her by the arm and then dragged her to one side. She questioned hurriedly, "Did Miss Bai really hurt her sister-in-law?"
Mother Lei had no choice but to consider all kinds of factors. She knew that her son was interested in Bei Meiyue and Lei Qian was her only son; she couldn’t let him get married to a maniac!
"Mom, are you really going to believe Lu Yin?" Lei Yan was speechless. She then rolled her eyes and said to her mother, "You don’t need to listen to Lu Yin’s one-sided words. You have no idea how the situation was downstairs." She then reiterated what happened to her mother, who frowned.
"But still attacking like such—"
"Mom, what do we know about the Bai family or Sister Bai?" Lei Yan rolled her eyes again and spoke in a steady voice, "Our family also has its struggles; have you forgotten second uncle and fifth uncle? How did Father deal with them?"
