My Lady, To Defeat Scumbags You Must Start Early - Chapter 467
Chapter 467: Chapter 467 Luo Xiaolang Claps Back at Ji Baixin (Third Update)
Luo Xiaolang finished feeding the little tiger.
The little tiger is still somewhat resistant to formula, but after coaxing, he manages to eat.
But because he hasn’t liked the formula, the little tiger hasn’t grown much this week. The doctor says preterm babies like him need special attention for their nutrition, especially their milk intake. If it’s not enough, it could seriously affect his development.
Luo Xiaolang has been coaxing the little tiger to eat during her spare time, hoping to develop the habit. She felt guilty that her sudden lack of milk has led to the little tiger’s insufficient nutrition lately.
She handed the little tiger over to Mrs. Wu.
Mrs. Wu held the little tiger and burped him.
Luo Xiaolang grabbed her phone and stepped aside.
She called back Ji Baixin.
“Ji Baixin.”
“Xiaolang, has the little tiger had his milk?” Ji Baixin asked.
“Yes, just finished. What’s up?” Luo Xiaolang asked.
“Do you have time? Can we meet?”
“The little tiger has been unwell recently, I can’t leave him.” Luo Xiaolang declined.
“Then I’ll say it over the phone.”
“Go ahead.” Luo Xiaolang said.
“Recently Yin Qin got into some trouble and caused some problems. I believe you have seen the news.” Ji Baixin stated.
“I didn’t see it.” Luo Xiaolang told the truth without lying.
She had been wholly focused on the little tiger in recent days, she doesn’t have time to check her phone.
“Really?” Ji Baixin seemed somewhat skeptical.
“Yes.”
“Alright. Well let me brief you.” Ji Baixin said calmly, “Yin Qin has shouldered all the blame for calling off your wedding. This has led to a significant controversy about him in the media; many negative news reports arise. This has resulted in severe disruption to his work. His hard-wrought show “Hall of Heaven” has faced nationwide boycott, even all the news and media platforms like video APPs owned by the Milky Way have been boycotted. Yin He’s stock market has fallen drastically due to Yin Qin’s actions, and if it continues to deteriorate, it could lead to bankruptcy.”
Ji Baixin said somewhat emotionally.
Luo Xiaolang did not understand why Ji Baixin was telling her all these. Were Yin Qin’s affairs related to her?
She asked her calmly, “Yin Qin is no longer related to me. I don’t need to know how he’s doing.”
That was his business.
Or rather, their business.
Ji Baixin choked on Luo Xiaolang’s words.
She was momentarily speechless.
There was an awkward silence between the two.
Ji Baixin took a deep breath, “Xiaolang, you’re young, and you grew up in a remote mountainous region so there are likely many things you do not understand. The crisis Yin Qin faces is all because of you.”
Luo Xiaolang pursed her lips and slowly said, “I don’t really understand what you mean.”
“Look, it couldn’t be clearer. The public is shaming and boycotting Yin Qin because he broke off your wedding. If it weren’t for your wedding, this wouldn’t have happened”
“Isn’t calling off the wedding Yin Qin’s decision?” Luo Xiaolang asked back.
His decisions were none of her concern, were they?
She was not the one who had skipped the wedding.
Ji Baixin gripped her phone hard, for a moment the brusque replies from Luo Xiaolang angered her.
She had always been fond of Luo Xiaolang. Ji Baixin risked her own life to save her. She was grateful; even now, as Yin Qin chose to abandon her, Ji Baixin felt remorse and guilt. She promised herself she would treat the baby as her own, and do anything in her power to help Luo Xiaolang whenever she needed. Even when Xiaolang was in the news with Yin Qin, she thought it was just a slip of the tongue, nothing serious, and did not want to make a fuss.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt angry and thought Luo Xiaolang was not as innocent as she seemed.
Luo Xiaolang thought that Ji Baixin had finished talking since she remained silent for quite a while, so she said, “Then I’ll hang up now.”
“Luo Xiaolang.” Ji Baixin called her.
Suppressing some emotions.
Luo Xiaolang held her phone, without hanging up.
“Yin Qin told me everything. Initially, it was your scheme to have a baby with him. At the end of the day, it’s all your calculation that led to your wedding with Yin Qin, he was forced. Now, he doesn’t want to marry you; it is a common reaction. He has no feelings towards you, and the only reason he reluctantly agreed to marry you was that you were carrying his child. Now that you have gone your separate ways, the public should not continue to misunderstand Yin Qin.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t speak at that moment.
She really didn’t quite understand what Ji Baixing meant by all that.
Ji Baixing said, “Now is a critical time for Yin Qin, I hope you can help him for the sake of what he has done for you in the past. We would be grateful forever.”
Luo Xiaolang didn’t know how she could help them.
All she knew was their business had nothing to do with her, and she didn’t want to get involved in anything at all.
She said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. But what you just said about me manipulating the tiger cub is true, and it is true that Yin Qin has no feelings for me. But from marriage to annulment, everything was Yin Qin’s decision, I didn’t force him and I never blamed him. As for what Yin Qin looks like in the eyes of the media and netizens, it’s also his own choice, from beginning to end I never said anything bad about Yin Qin in the media. In conclusion, I don’t know how to help you, or rather, I never thought about helping you.”
“Luo Xiaolang, it was your fault to manipulate Yin Qin in the first place, if it weren’t for everything you did, the situation wouldn’t have developed like this!”
“But I’ve already paid it back.” Luo Xiaolang spoke word by word, feeling somewhat annoyed by Ji Baixing’s tone.
“What did you use to make up for it?”
“At our wedding, Yin Qin didn’t show up, so I told him, we were even.” Luo Xiaolang said simplistically.
She thought being even just meant being even.
From then on, there would be no guilt or entanglement between them.
“Have you ever thought, if it wasn’t for your calculation, would Yin Qin need to marry you? If he didn’t marry you, there would be no annulment, and you call this paying back?” Ji Baixing was somewhat angry, she never thought that Luo Xiaolang would be so stubborn.
She always thought that Luo Xiaolang was easy to deal with.
As long as she asked, she would help.
Luo Xiaolang was somewhat silent.
Everything Ji Baixing said was right.
But.
She said, “Does the time I saved you not count?”
Ji Baixing’s hand, holding her mobile phone, paused.
Luo Xiaolang continued, “If I hadn’t manipulated Yin Qin, you would still have been kidnapped, I almost died trying to save you, doesn’t that count?”
Ji Baixing was left speechless by Luo Xiaolang.
She never thought that Luo Xiaolang would suddenly bring up this matter.
Ji Baixing said, “So, because you saved me, I have to owe you for the rest of my life? You just want to use this fact, to let Yin Qin and me owe you forever, is that it?”
“I’ve never thought about it. Right now, I don’t want to have anything to do with you.” Luo Xiaolang never lies, she says the truth.
However, Ji Baixing began to harbor doubts.
She began to feel that Luo Xiaolang was not what she seemed on the surface.
If she were really that pure, how could she have manipulated Yin Qin, going so far as to use such illicit means to try to rise in status through her child.
“Ji Baixing, I don’t need gratitude from you or Yin Qin. Choosing to save you was my own decision, I never thought of getting anything back. However, I hope that from now on, you and Yin Qin’s matters are your own business. I just want to live a peaceful life with Xiaolang.” Luo Xiaolang said earnestly.
She rarely talks so much to others, she isn’t fond of talking and isn’t good with words either. For her, speaking this much to Ji Baixing today was already her limit.
What she could explain, she already did.
“So, you’re not planning on helping Yin Qin.” Ji Baixing confirmed.
“No, I’m not.” Luo Xiaolang affirmed.
“Then, pardon the intrusion.” Ji Baixing hung up immediately.
Luo Xiaolang also hung up the phone.
She didn’t expect Ji Baixing to call her, hence when she received the call from Ji Baixing, she didn’t think too much about it.
But she didn’t expect at all that Ji Baixing was calling to ask her to help Yin Qin.
She thought, maybe Ji Baixing would apologize to her.
She lightly pursed her lips.
Luo Xiaolang was never one to fret, she lived her own life without being disturbed by others.
Especially those she didn’t like.
Now, Ji Baixing and Yin Qin were both people she didn’t like.
She would sever all ties with them.
