Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Self-Defense_1

Soft lips hit against hard teeth, and crimson blood seeped out instantly, making Chen Momo look utterly disheveled.

Xia Qingtian struck too quickly, and Chen Momo didn’t have time to react.

It was only when a fiery pang of pain spread from her lips that she realized what was happening.

She came to seek revenge from Xia Qingtian, but ended up being slapped by her, which inflamed her to the point of reducing her eyes to bloodshot and she, like a madwoman, pounced at Xia Qingtian.

She was determined to make Xia Qingtian pay today!!!

Xia Qingtian’s belly was huge, so knowing she couldn’t directly fight Chen Momo, she took a step back and kicked her right in the knee when the opportunity arose.

Chen Momo immediately lost balance, tumbling onto the soft lawn unharmed.

Just as she was about to get up to continue seeking revenge on Xia Qingtian, Xia Qingtian quickly took two steps to stand over her, stepping onto her back, rendering her completely immobile.

"Xia Qingtian, let me go!!!"

Chen Momo struggled on the ground like a turtle, unable to turn over, screeching angrily.

"Let you go, sure..." Xia Qingtian’s tone carried a hint of indifference. "Only if you beg me nicely, say some sweet words. If you can calm my anger, make me happy, I’ll move my foot and let you get up. How does that sound?"

"Bah!" sneered Chen Momo contemptuously, "You lowlife, you think you’re worth begging to?"

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Xia Qingtian’s mouth, and just as she was about to say something, Chen Momo suddenly wore a strange smile like she had discovered something.

"Xia Qingtian, you’re done for!" she said haughtily.

Xia Qingtian frowned at the sight of a cocky Chen Momo suddenly turning weepy, saying pitifully, "Qingtian, let me go quickly, my stomach hurts so much..."

Xia Qingtian, seeing through Chen Momo’s hypocrisies, already had an idea of what was going on.

Still, the Chen Momo under her feet did not stop performing.

"Even if I’ve said something wrong, made you angry, you can beat or scold me, but you can’t hurt the child in my stomach. You’re going to be a mother too, how can you be so cruel?"

"Don’t you fear that these evil deeds of yours will come back to haunt you one day?"

"Chen Momo, you’re just saying all these things now to provoke me, aren’t you?"

Xia Qingtian saw through her, yet didn’t panic. She even talked casually with her, "Congratulations, you’ve succeeded. I am angry now."

As she spoke, she ground her foot harder against Chen Momo’s back.

"Ah..." Chen Momo almost cried out in pain.

"Grandpa, Mr. Bo, help me..." she immediately reached out for help in their direction.

Xia Qingtian turned around and saw Bo Jingyan helping his grandfather, walking toward them.

Just as she expected.

Like grasping a lifesaving straw, Chen Momo implored anxiously, "Grandpa, Mr. Bo, Qingtian’s gone crazy, she wants to kill me and the baby in my stomach."

As she spoke through her tears, her face spotted with the blood from her mouth, she was a pitiful and broken sight that would surely gain sympathy.

"Grandpa ..." Xia Qingtian started to explain, when...

Grandfather Bo interrupted her, said with a frown, "Qingqing, first remove your foot from Momo."

Although Xia Qingtian felt it was too lenient to let Chen Momo off like this, she obeyed Grandfather Bo’s order and moved her foot.

She knew the scene could easily be misunderstood, especially with Chen Momo’s ability to exaggerate, and feared they might really believe Chen Momo.

"Grandpa, about what just happened ..." she immediately tried to explain.

"Qingqing ..." Grandfather Bo sternly interrupted her, "We saw what happened just now. It was indeed your fault."

Seeing that Grandfather Bo didn’t even listen to her explanation and directly blamed her, disappointment flashed across Qingtian’s face, and she felt a little sad.

But before she could dwell on her sadness, Grandfather Bo continued to scold her sternly, "Don’t you know your own condition? You’re heavily pregnant! If Chen Momo struggles too much, and you fall, what then?"

"Even if you don’t care for the baby’s safety, you should take care of yourself."

"You’re really worrying me. If it gets to the point, come live with me in the old house. I’ll take care of you personally and make sure nothing like this happens."

Xia Qingtian’s pupils quivered in disbelief, "Grandpa, are you saying that my mistake was putting myself in a dangerous situation?"

With an expression of absolute certainty, Grandfather Bo retorted, "What else?"

Xia Qingtian burst into laughter.

She was really pregnant-brained. Grandpa was so good to her, prioritizing her in everything. Even in comparison to his own grandson, Bo Jingyan, she was preferred. How could he blame her because of Chen Momo?

She immediately promised Grandfather Bo, "Okay, Grandpa, I promise you, I won’t act like this again."

Still pretending to be helpless on the ground, keen on garnering sympathy, Chen Momo froze on the spot, obviously unable to believe what had just occurred.

After a while, realizing no one was paying attention to her, she reluctantly got up from the ground.

She couldn’t let Xia Qingtian go just like that, but with the old man favoring Xia Qingtian, and Bo Jingyan appearing completely indifferent, showing no intention of standing up for her, she had no choice but to come up with another plan.

If they won’t do her justice, then she would seek it for herself.

Thinking that way, Chen Momo mustered a repressed expression and deliberately said, "Mr. Bo, Grandpa, I need to trouble you to call the police for me. I want to accuse Xia Qingtian of attempted murder. She wanted to kill me and my baby just now."

Since Grandfather Bo treasured Xia Qingtian so much, he surely wouldn’t let her be troubled by a lawsuit.

She could use this opportunity to negotiate some benefits from either Grandfather Bo or Bo Jingyan. One way or another, she wouldn’t be suffering for nothing.

Upon hearing this, Xia Qingtian’s heart clenched.

Previously, Chen Momo had tried to push her downstairs. But it backfired and she used it to frame Xia Qingtian. It was only through Grandpa and Bo Jingyan’s intervention that the matter was settled, which was clearly encouraging for her.

Again, she was trying to use the same old trick.

Xia Qingtian was really worried that history would repeat itself and looked anxiously at Grandfather Bo. "Grandpa..."

Grandfather Bo understood her worries and affectionately patted her hand, "Qingqing, don’t worry, just tell me whether it happened the way she said."

"It didn’t!" Xia Qingtian shook her head.

"I was sitting on the swing, enjoying the sun, when she came over, attempting to kick me off. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, the one who would’ve fallen would’ve been me."

Bo Jingyan calmly commented, "Self-defense."
