Chapter 871: Chapter 870 Confrontation

The child was too precious to abort; she had no choice but to hastily marry someone.

At this uncomfortable time, Bai Gelin appeared, not caring whose child she was carrying in her belly, which somewhat touched Nie Lin.

The Bai Family, of course, couldn’t compare to the Nie Family’s threshold, but with her current disgrace, she couldn’t talk about matching family statuses.

Marriage, well, isn’t it just teaming up to get through life? Isn’t talking about love just nonsense?

Looking at Bai Gelin who, although not handsome, seemed honest, she married him.

Every time Nie Lin thought about her marriage, she actually felt some regret. She should have had a city-wide manhunt for that bastard who slept with her and then left early, making him take responsibility for a lifetime!

She admitted he was the only man she had ever been moved by.

Even though it was just for a short night, it was the most poignant time in her life.

Meanwhile, Bai Qiuqing had no idea what had happened in the Bai Family; she was still in her room chatting on the phone with those ladies, when suddenly a servant’s knock came from outside the door.

“Madam, are you in there?”

“What’s the matter?” Bai Qiuqing regained her usual demeanor, playing with her shawl and setting her coffee cup on the table.

After settling this matter, she still had to go to Madam Lin’s to play cards.

“The young lady has returned, says she needs to see you, asking you to come out for a bit.”

The servant conveyed this message with utmost respect, but Bai Qiuqing still felt a surge of anger. Was this how she was meant to show respect to her elders?

Shouldn’t she have come up to knock on the door herself?

Although displeased, Bai Qiuqing still stood up and opened the door, her face cold: “Fine, I understand, let her wait for me.”

The last sentence was somewhat through gritted teeth.

The servant, of course, knew that the relationship between the madam and the young lady was not good, but still felt compelled to remind her, “Madam, the master has just returned from the company as well.”

The maid’s implication was simple: don’t make Qiao Xiaren wait too long because of a temper, Qiao Lin might get upset with her over it.

“Alright.”

Bai Qiuqing bit back her urge to make things difficult for Qiao Xiaren.

She had just come downstairs when she saw Qiao Xiaren walking over with a cold expression, coming straight at her with a menacing air.

Before Bai Qiuqing could react, she was grabbed by the wrist, nearly losing her balance on the spot: “Was it you who did it?”

This was the first time Bai Qiuqing had a close look at Qiao Xiaren’s eyes–so cold, as if a glance from her meant you’d have no place to be buried next.

Bai Qiuqing instinctively took a step back: “What do you mean by this?”

“You don’t know what I mean? Was it you who did that thing with Yeqian?”

As more information came from Si Limo, Qiao Xiaren suddenly realized she was uncovering a major event, one long buried and deliberately concealed by Bai Qiuqing!

Although Bai Qiuqing’s maternal family was famously nouveau riche more than a decade ago, they had gone bankrupt seventeen years earlier, becoming the laughingstock of many.

Despite being bankrupt, the Bai Family still pretended to be wealthy in the Capital, all bluster and bravado, while inside they were in utter turmoil.

It was during that time that Bai Qiuqing met Qiao Lin, at a bar, and their acquaintance began with a very cliche one-night stand.

Quite the coincidence, the next day she ended up cornered by a swarm of reporters at the doorstep.

Due to public pressure, Qiao Lin had no choice but to marry Bai Qiuqing.

Old Master Qiao went home and gave Qiao Lin a severe scolding. It was the first and only time in his life he had been indulgent, and it cost him his marital happiness for life.
