Chapter 81: Give a Legitimate Reason

“What do you have in mind?” she asked him instinctively.

“Since we cannot explain the HD video clip and the photos, instead of denying the fact, let’s just admit the truth.”

Just when she was about to say something, her grandson quickly added, “We just have to give a justification for this fact.”

“A justification?”

“The reason my mom had looked for that young gigolo was that she wanted to save her daughter who had fallen hopelessly in love with him. To prove that this man was only out to get her money, she got close to him as well. In this way, her daughter would realize that this gigolo had no love in mind when he would accept women much older than himself. This wasn’t a case of a mother and daughter fighting over a kept man; this was a story of a selfless mother trying to save her daughter who had gone astray. For her daughter, she was willing to do anything.”

The old woman was dumbstruck. Her face clearly displayed the bewilderment she held in her mind.

Recomposing herself, she commented, “Who would believe such a story?”

Although this seemed viable, who would believe their story when they broadcast it?

“With my father telling the story, many will believe it,” the boy replied affirmatively.

“With your father involved?” The matriarch realized that age must have caught up with her. Up until now, she still could not understand what her grandson was trying to do.

“Get my parents to appear as a loving couple in public, and get Daddy to say that he knew about this matter. Both of them came up with the plan for her to get close to the gigolo. I know that that young chap did not have any sexual relations with my mother or sister. He has run away from the country, but even if he were still in Yun Cheng, there is nothing to be exposed. This plan will work just fine.”

“But think about it, for your parents to save your sister, they didn’t need to do it personally. They could have gotten someone to seduce the gigolo instead. For your dad to allow your mom to get so intimate with another man seems… impossible.”

When Bai Xuexian got into trouble, the matriarch did not think that she could clean up the mess not because she was not capable enough but because, deep down inside her, she did not want to do that. Although she admitted that her son was a good-for-nothing, he was still her biological son. Hence, her daughter-in-law’s betrayal was not something she could forgive. Naturally, she did not want to clear her name.

As such, any idea proposed by her grandson would not seem viable in her eyes.

“We can explain that with our family’s high reputation, it would be a shame to let others find out that the daughter was after a gigolo. As Mommy did not trust anyone to do the job well, she decided to carry out the assignment personally.” The reason why he did not come to his mother’s rescue at the first instance was that he was trying to figure out a way to salvage the situation.

He’d gone through all the possibilities in his mind during the past few days.

“Still, I don’t think others will buy this story…”

“Daddy had been keeping tabs on Mommy all along. He has other images with him as well. We can take this chance to reveal all these photos and say that the pictures were originally meant for my sis only. However, an opportunist had exposed this matter for their own benefit. This will prove my daddy’s involvement even more. We can dramatize this matter, get it publicized, and pay others to stir up the heat. People will start to believe the story!

“In this way, even if no one believes the story, there’s nothing they can do about it. We have a legitimate reason for the fact, and no one will dare to make fun of us again!”
