Chapter 132: Misunderstanding Cleared Up
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Hello, Auntie. I’m Lin Bai’s girlfriend, Yu Jinmo.”
“I should have come over earlier to see you, but my schedule was packed with classes every day a while ago, and hence, I delayed the visit until now. I’m really sorry.”
Yu Jinmo smiled as she introduced herself to Sun Xiaogang’s mother.
Then, she realized that the way Mrs. Sun looked at her seemed a little strange.
It was as if she was probing and scrutinizing her, seemingly trying to determine whether what she said was true or false.
Fortunately, Sun Xiaogang immediately spoke up to help Yu Jinmo ease the awkwardness.
He said, “Mom, Yu Jinmo is the belle of our school! If only I had half of Lin Bai’s abilities… Later on, I have to ask him to teach me how to get such a beautiful girlfriend!”
After saying this, Mrs. Sun’s gaze towards Yu Jinmo became much gentler.
At the same time, there was also a hint of guilt.
She couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. She shouldn’t have believed that Assistant Wang’s nonsense and thought that the relationship between her son and Lin Bai was romantic.
With some regretful emotions, Mrs. Sun used a pen and paper to chat with Yu Jinmo for a long time.
She noticed that every time Yu Jinmo mentioned Lin Bai, her eyes would light up, and the corners of her eyes and brows would be full of joy.
This love could not be faked no matter what.
Previously, she had a trace of doubt before that Yu Jinmo was deliberately sent by Lin Bai to deceive her.
However, when she saw Yu Jinmo’s love for Lin Bai, this last trace of doubt completely disappeared.
As a woman, she knew that such happiness could not be faked.
This state of being engulfed in love could not be hidden, so she completely believed in Yu Jinmo’s identity.
She also believed that Yu Jinmo and Lin Bai were very, very in love.
During the casual conversation, Yu Jinmo also mentioned the matter of Sun Xiaogang helping her out.
This also made Mrs. Sun understand why Lin Bai was especially good to her son.
At the same time, she vaguely remembered that Lin Bai had mentioned this matter to her before, but she had forgotten about it when she heard it and did not take it to heart.
Now that she thought about it carefully, she realized how wrong she was.
Mrs. Sun was filled with regret and she felt that she should not have treated Lin Bai like that yesterday.
Lin Bai had contributed money and effort, but she had not even thanked him. Instead, she had thrown things at him in a harsh manner.
Lin Bai must have been extremely disappointed.
Mrs. Sun thought that if she had been in his shoes and got treated like that, she would have already been disappointed. She would have felt that the money and energy she had spent would be better spent feeding the dogs.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt and blamed herself.
She felt that she had to apologize to Lin Bai.
Regardless of whether Lin Bai accepted it or not, she should apologize.
After Yu Jinmo left, Mrs. Sun wrote on the paper and said to Sun Xiaogang, “Please ask your classmate Lin Bai to come over again. I have something to say to him.”
Sun Xiaogang looked at the sentence his mother wrote and was a little hesitant.
Although Lin Bai didn’t mention anything to him about last night’s incident, he saw the piece of paper with the words “get lost” written on it when he was cleaning up the ward.
Therefore, he guessed that his mother must have lost her temper at Lin Bai.
However, he could not figure out where his mother’s resentment came from.
“Mom, it’s okay to let Lin Bai come over, but you have to promise me that you won’t treat him like you did yesterday. Don’t think that I don’t know that I saw that piece of paper. You told him to get lost.”
“Mom, Lin Bai helped our family out with so much money, and he didn’t even mention it. How could you treat him like that!”
Sun Xiaogang’s words made Mrs. Sun feel even more regretful.
She closed her eyes in pain and wrote on the paper after a long while:
“I know that I’ve misunderstood him. I want to apologize to him in person.”
Sun Xiaogang sighed and said, “Alright, I’ll give him a call and ask him if he wants to come or not but it depends on his mood. I can’t guarantee that.”
Mrs. Sun nodded, indicating that she understood.
Actually, she didn’t have high hopes. After all, if she was in his place, she definitely wouldn’t want to see him again.
However, if she didn’t even try, she really felt bad.
Apologizing, in the end, was to seek a peace of mind.
Otherwise, she would really be too ashamed to continue spending Lin Bai’s money to treat him.
When Sun Xiaogang called, Lin Bai was sending a message to Yu Jinmo.
Lin Bai knew that Yu Jinmo had already gone to visit Sun Xiaogang’s mother, and her attitude towards her was very friendly.
Thus, Lin Bai understood that this misunderstanding between Mrs. Sun and him had basically been resolved.
Coincidentally, Sun Xiaogang called at this time, and Lin Bai could vaguely guess the other party’s intentions.
As soon as the call was connected, Sun Xiaogang went straight to the point.
“Lin Bai, my mom said that she knows that she misunderstood you and wants to apologize to you in person. Do you have time to make another trip to the hospital?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “It’s good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. There’s no need to apologize. Tell Auntie to rest well and not to think too much. I’m not angry.”
Lin Bai was telling the truth.
He wasn’t really angry, but he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
As for Mrs. Sun, he could let it go on account of Sun Xiaogang.
But as for Assistant Wang, who was trying to sow discord, Lin Bai wouldn’t let him go no matter what.
Sun Xiaogang was just obeying his mother’s wishes and making a phone call to ask.
Since Lin Bai wasn’t willing to make a special trip over, he didn’t force him.
“Alright, I’ll pass the message to her. Although I don’t know what my mother misunderstood you about, it’s her fault. I apologize on her behalf.”
Sun Xiaogang apologized very sincerely.
Lin Bai said generously, “It’s fine. It’s all that bastard Wang’s doing.”
“Wait a few more days. I’ll definitely teach him a lesson.”
Sun Xiaogang said, “Right! It’s all that bastard’s fault for spouting nonsense to my mother. We must not let him off! And that boss behind him, we can’t let her off either!”
Lin Bai was silent for a few seconds. He felt that Sun Xiaogang would find out about these things sooner or later, so it was better to tell him earlier.
So he told the truth, “Actually, I wanted to tell you yesterday, but you were in a bad mood at that time, so I didn’t tell you.”
“I’ve checked some information about Ling Xuewei in the past two days, and I’ve also contacted her personally. I don’t think she’s the kind of person who doesn’t have a bottom line. There might be some misunderstanding in this matter. Let me check again.”
“In any case, if it was really her idea, then I definitely won’t let it go but if she doesn’t know, then we can’t falsely accuse her, right?”
Sun Xiaogang didn’t expect Lin Bai to speak up for Ling Xuewei.
He had always been certain that Ling Xuewei was the same as Assistant Wang.
