Madame Ling sighed heavily. Since this was her weak spot, she had to endure no matter how ugly Liu Fen's behaviour was.
"It wasn't that I didn't want to help you, but things got out of hand today. If I didn't stop you and you spoke the truth, Ling Tao would know that I was trying to drug him and force him to sleep with you. Do you think he would still trust his mother in the future if he'd found out?
If Ling Tao doesn't trust me anymore, what good is it for you? For better or for worse, Ling Tao still listens to me and believes what I say.
If I say that I like you and want to keep you here in the Ling Family, even if Ling Tao is not willing, he will do it for me!"
Listening to Madame Ling, Liu Fen gradually stopped crying. She sat on the floor and looked at the other woman. "Ma'am, then you go and talk to him right now. Let me go back."
"Not now," Madame Ling replied decisively.
