Chapter 770: Escape The Blame

Tell me then, what mistake did you make?

I Jingrou searched for the right words. I was careless and didnt hold the vase properly. I ended up injuring your head.

Careless? Long Jingyuan smiled mockingly. You sure are able to come up with a new way to describe murdering someone for their money.

Bai Jingrou lifted her head to look at him in shock. Grandfather, how could you think that way? Youre my only living relative. How could I possibly try and harm you for money?

Back when you smashed that vase against my head, I keenly felt the force you applied to that blow which showed your murderous intent. Long Jingyuan glanced at Fang Xinxin gratefully. If Xinxin hadnt rushed over in time, I would have died in your hands!

Grandfather, youve really misunderstood me! Bai Jingrou refused to admit to it. She turned and glared at Fang Xinxin in anger. Its you. You must have set up this trap for me because you are greedy for the Long familys wealth.

Oh? What kind of trap did I set up for you? Fang Xinxin harrumphed coldly. Could it be that I forced you into smas.h.i.+ng the flower vase against Elder Longs head?

I Bai Jingrou had no choice but to admit that she had hurt him with the vase.

First of all, Long Jingyuan had personally witnessed her doing so. Secondly, her fingerprints were on the vase.

Grandfather, no matter what, Fang Xinxin is the one with bad intentions. She wasnt satisfied with the ten percent of shares you gave her. Bai Jingrou spoke as though with good intentions. You mustnt be fooled by her.

Bai Qinghao held his wife while sitting on the couch. When he heard Bai Jingrou pus.h.i.+ng all her crimes onto his wifes head, he dearly wished he could shoot this wh.o.r.e to death right this instant!

However, this was the Long familys matters and he had promised not to interfere. Thus, he maintained his silence.

When this matter was settled, he would eliminate Bai Jingrou, this troublemaker!

Long Jingyuan was unmoved by her words. He sat down on the couch and a servant quickly served him a cup of hot tea.

Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu remained standing. No one paid any attention to them.

It was silent in the living room for a moment. Long Jingyuan unhurriedly tasted the tea. You know Auntie Qiu, dont you?

Bai Jingrous expression turned fl.u.s.tered for a moment. She pretended to be confused as she looked around the living room. Grandfather, are you asking me that?

Obviously.

I dont know her. Jingrou shook her head obediently.

Long Jingyuan lifted his hand and a servant brought a stack of photos over.

In the photos, Bai Jingrou was captured while in a secret meeting with Auntie Qiu. The photos clearly depicted scenes of Jingrou handing a large bag over to Auntie Qiu. After Bai Jingrou left, Auntie Qiu opened the bag and counted the money inside. There was around a hundred thousand dollars.

When Bai Chenxi and Huang Zhishu saw the photos, they both turned pale. However, they remained silent.

Do you recognise her now? A hint of rage could be heard in Long Jingyuans voice. She is the Fang familys ex-servant. Tell us, why did you give her a hundred thousand dollars?

Bai Jingrou did not expect her meeting with Auntie Qiu to be photographed! She felt a sense of foreboding and immediately began making up stories. Its like this. I was out shopping once and nearly got into a car accident. It was Auntie Qiu who saved me. I gave her the money as a form of my grat.i.tude.

Why did you say you didnt know her earlier, then?

I didnt wish to ruin my benefactors reputation. Bai Jingrou lied to his face.
