Chapter 280 - You taught me that.

“No need.” Mother Mu curled her lips, her eyes with a bit of Debian pride and a bit of complacency, looking at Ning Xiaofei, who stiffened on the stairs. “We’ve just met.”

Hearing the strangeness in her voice, Ms. Liu was in doubt. Just because of her own identity, she naturally didn’t dare to ask anything more.

“Then … have a seat on the sofa. I’ll help you make tea.”

Mother Mu wasn’t polite. She looked around and went to sit on the sofa.

Ms. Liu then greeted Ning Xiaofei who came down the stairs and whispered. “Young Miss, is everything alright?”

Ning Xiaofei sensed her concern and curled her lips lightly. “Go and make tea.”

The person had already chased her to the door. Her purpose was clear without having to think about it. It was useless to say anything now. She could only wait for Mu Tianye to come back and see if he would believe his mom or her!

She took a deep breath, walked forward with her chin raised, and sat down on the couch across from Mother Mu.

Taking a glance at Mother Mu who was glaring at her in anger and wishing she could electrocute her with her gaze, Ning Xiaofei just smiled and pushed the fruit plate towards her.

“Help yourself and eat fruit as if you’re in your own home, don’t be polite.”

That gesture was impressively the bearing of a hostess.

Her opponent was much more powerful than her aunt and the others; she had to be careful and not mess up.

Across from her, Mother Mu’s pupils shrank, but in a flash she regained her smile.

“Ning Xiaofei, you are very smart, but… don’t forget, you have only been married to him for a few months, and I… have known him for more than 20 years!”

Her son had always been unable to rub half a grain of sand in his eyes.

If he knew that he was nothing more than a bargaining chip for Ning Xiaofei to use, he would be furious.

Ning Xiaofei flipped out her phone from her bag and played with it in her hands, not bothering to retort.

“Does that mean anything?”

“The significance is that I know him better than you do.” Mother Mu looked calm. “He’s always been unable to rub sand in his eyes. If he knew that you were just using him, what do you think the consequences would be?”

Ning Xiaofei played with her phone without speaking – in fact, she wasn’t sure.

Mother Mu wasn’t wrong; they had been together for such a short time. Would that man really believe her and turn against his own mother?

“Just think, if he does flip out, you might not get anything.” Mother Mu leaned forward slightly. “I’ll give you 20 million as long as you initiate the divorce!”

Ning Xiaofei continued to play with her phone.

Mother Mu squinted and added more chips.

“30 million!”

Ning Xiaofei ruffled her hair and pouted at the screen, looking as if she was taking a selfie.

Mother Mu’s brows scrunched up.

“50 million, this is your last chance.”

Ning Xiaofei lifted her face; and just when Mother Mu thought she finally couldn’t resist the temptation, she saw the girl turn her phone around and press the play button.

“I’ll give you 20 million as long as you initiate the divorce…”

When Mother Mu frowned, Ning Xiaofei retrieved her phone and smiled.

“This is what you taught me. Now we’re fair; you have a recording and so do I!”

“Great!” Mother Mu’s face turned heavy. She squeezed a few words between gritted teeth, “Let’s see if he believes you or me!”

Ning Xiaofei leaned on the back of the sofa and said nothing.

Her heart pounded rapidly in her chest.

She had once lied to him so many times; would Mu Tianye believe her this time?

She didn’t dare to think about it. She just shrank on the couch with her phone in her hand apprehensively, waiting for the man’s return.
