The Blind Lover

Chapter 72 - Plea

Chapter 72: Plea

Ning Chen smiled. “Thank you, Sixth Aunt. Xiao Yu is an innocent and sensible girl, please give her all the love you have.”

Ji Lan quickly smiled. “Look at that sweet mouth of yours, Ning Chen. If you don’t mind, I’ll come over more often to visit.”

Bai Rui cleared her throat and glared at Ji Lan.

Ji Lan quickly stopped smiling and lowered her head.

Qin Yu seemed only to realize Bai Ting sitting next to Bai Rui. She exclaimed, “Oh my, isn’t this cousin sister? Why are you here? Did you come to apologize?”

Bai Rui’s expression turned for the worse.

Bai Ting saw that as her way out. With a plop, she dropped to her knees. “I’m so sorry, cousin-in-law. I was wrong. Please forgive me!”

“Cousin-in-law?” Qin Yu was confused.

“Who’s that cousin-in-law?” She looked at Ji Lan.

Ji Lan took a careful look at Bai Rui before saying softly, “Xiao Yu, that is Bai Ting calling you. She’s your Second Aunt’s niece. Ning Yu is her cousin, which makes Ning Chen her cousin too. It’s only right for her to address you as cousin-in-law.”

Qin Yu nodded thoughtfully. “Oh, thank you, Sixth Aunt. I understand now.”

She looked at Bai Ting. “Why didn’t you address me by that? It’ll take some time for me to get used to it. Who knows you’re calling for me.”

Qin Yu’s words were sarcastic, but she was a fool, and there was nothing the others could do about that.

Bai Ting couldn’t care less. She crept closer to Qin Yu’s wheelchair and said “Cousin-in-law, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Please let me stay. I’m willing to be your slave and repay your kindness for the rest of my life.”

Qin Yu’s mouth opened into a huge O-shape. She rubbed her ears. “What… what did you say?”

Bai Ting’s tears streamed down her face, crying like a broken dam. However, she knew that no matter how much she cried, Ning Chen wouldn’t be able to see it. She could only place her hopes on this fool in front of her.

“Cousin, I was wrong. I’m sorry to you and Cousin Chen. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life to atone for my mistakes. Please give me a chance and let me be at your side, serving you. Just take it as an extra servant in the house. I won’t feel good until you give me the chance, please, I’m begging you.”

Qin Yu looked at this puffy, haggard, and teary woman in amazement.

Amazing! Amazing, indeed! Let it be known that only a woman understood another woman.

Bai Ting made herself looked horrid, with make-up and mascara running down her face. Anyone who looked at her would be moved, right?

She did not even look at Ning Chen. It was as if she only saw her cousin-in-law and not her cousin. This was a sign of her determination. ‘Cousin-in-law, I’m here for you instead!’

Qin Yu wanted to laugh.

She did not understand. Was it because she was stupid that they thought of such a way to cover themselves? Or was it because they were stupid and thought that this would work?

Ning Jing tried her best to suppress the disgust in her heart towards Qin Yu and said stiffly, “Ning Chen’s wife, Bai Ting is begging for forgiveness on her knees. What more do you want? She is still a noble young lady. Don’t push this too far! What happened with you caused such a huge commotion. Whatever it is, she’s staying at your house!”

Bai Ting, who was crying so hard, desperately wanted to shut Ning Jing’s rotten mouth up!

Qin Yu laughed, loudly. The worst teammate ever! She did not understand why Bai Rui had to bring Ning Jing over every time she can. It seemed that she wanted Ning Jing there to back her up only for the lady to sabotage their plans, every single time.

“Why are you laughing?” Ning Jing said angrily.

Qin Yu smiled. “Big Sister, there are already many servants in our house. Does it look like we need more people? We already have a few chauffeurs and all of them are very capable. We don’t need people. Why do you insist on cousin sister coming?”

Ning Jing widened her eyes, looking at Qin Yu. “Do you really think Bai Ting wants to come to your house to be a servant?”

Qin Yu blinked her big eyes. “Why would I think otherwise?”

Bai Ting bit her lip and said firmly, “Cousin-in-law, if you take me in, I am willing to do whatever you want.”

Qin Yu looked at her and said, matter-of-factly, “I will not take you in, because there is nothing I want you to do.”

Bai Ting was stunned. The fool’s thinking was very clear?

No, no, she had her own train of thought. It was not a question of clarity, but something out of the ordinary, different from normal folks. What they thought and what she thought were completely different.

A rather sad circumstance.
