Chapter 4366: 5.0118 Spreading Rumors

Ding Yun casually glanced at Bai Ningshuang. "Oh? And what authority do you have to yell at me like that?"

Bai Ningshuang was immediately choked by his words.

Indeed, this brat hadn't yet been recognized by the Long family, and she truly had no standing to yell at him for help.

But being publicly shut down left Bai Ningshuang extremely indignant, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

What an audacious little punk.

Lately, it seemed anyone in this family could openly contradict her.

She told this brat to take action, and he was still spouting nonsense here, utterly incomprehensible!

Long Xiangyun frowned. "What are you doing out here?"

Ding Yun ignored her, his beautiful eyes filled with amusement as he looked at Qiao Mu. "Little Qiao, why don't we find a place to chat?"

Lady Qiaoqiao glared at him coldly, then turned to Long Hui, her gaze sharp and merciless. "Have you been colluding with him all along?"

"What do you mean 'colluding'?"

Long Hui and Young Master Ding simultaneously felt like rolling their eyes.

Why did those words sound so awkward?

"Cousin, you're overthinking it."

Ding Yun even took a step forward, laughing repeatedly. "Of course not. I'm not with them. We're the ones who are together."

Qiao Mu looked at him coldly. "I met Sikong Fuling."

"Oh?"

"I promised her I'd see you."

"Mhm." Cult Master Ding immediately beamed, nodding repeatedly. "That's excellent."

Long Hui, on the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes at Young Master Ding. He would bet his twenty years of intelligence that Lady Qiaoqiao's next words would not satisfy Young Master Ding.

Sure enough, Qiao Mu said coldly, "Now that we've met, the promise has been fulfilled. Stay away from me from now on!"

Cult Master Ding was instantly dumbfounded, staring at her for a long moment. "This counts as meeting?"

"Are you blind?" If this wasn't meeting, then what was?

Qiao Mu snapped back at him ill-temperedly, then turned to her husband.

Mo Lian nodded understandingly, took her hand, and began to walk out.

Young Master Ding wasn't angry. He waved cheerfully, running after them. "Qiaoqiao, Qiaoqiao, wait! I have something to tell you."

Long Qian's face darkened as she watched them leave without looking back, her expression very unsightly.

Bai Ningshuang was somewhat exasperated. "Aunt, are you just going to let them leave like that?"

"Shut up." Long Qian, having lived for so many years, was naturally well-versed.

What could she not know about Bai Ningshuang's current state?

It was nothing but resentment towards the young couple because of Long Ji's incident.

But just Bai Ningshuang alone? She was truly no match for that brutal young couple.

"You don't need to meddle in clan affairs," Long Qian said coldly, sweeping a glance at Bai Ningshuang. "It's time your son Long Ji received more instruction."

"Constantly talking about Chu Yun's past, who gave him such audacity?" Long Qian sneered. "Juniors should act like juniors, and as a mother, you don't even correct his outlandish remarks. Now that he's been beaten, it's his own fault. You don't need to blame others."

Bai Ningshuang couldn't help but seethe inwardly.

"Everyone in Wangchuan knows about Sister Chu Yun's matter, and now you're saying this, Aunt?" This was simply too unkind.

These weren't new words.

For so many years, stories of Long Chuyun betraying the clan had circulated throughout Wangchuan.
