Chapter 92: Shirking Blame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fang Rong had never felt so disgusted in her life.

It was Li Yan, who had caught up afterward, who saved her.

Fang Rong was still in shock. She leaned against her son and said hatefully, “I asked Bai Xi to save me just now, but she pretended not to hear me. Son, our family can’t have such a vicious woman.”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment and defended Bai Xi, “Is there some kind of misunderstanding? Mom, you watched Xiao Xi grow up. She’s always been very kind and wouldn’t just leave someone in the lurch.”

Fang Rong raised her voice, “So I’m the one talking nonsense?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Li Yan felt that his mother might have been too distressed in the snow mountain and lost her levelheadedness. He comforted her helplessly, “We’ll ask Xiao Xi when we take a break later.”

Fang Rong nodded.

After the mountainous path, the group found a relatively flat area and set up their tents and a bonfire with great effort.

Not much firewood was left, and there was no food. Everyone was cold and hungry, and a silent pressure filled the air.

Bai Xi took advantage of the injury on her legs and rested on the side, watching others work.

All these were taken in by Fang Rong. When she previously thought that Bai Xi was decent, the latter was good in every way. She was delicate and weak, and she was pampered when she was injured; it was normal not to let her work. Now, however, no matter how Fang Rong looked at it, it was an eyesore.

The few of them sat around the bonfire. Seeing that everyone was so silent, Song Yun intentionally livened up the atmosphere. He raised his head and exclaimed, “Everyone, look! The stars here are so bright!”

The snow mountain was high above sea level, and there was no pollution like in the city. The weather was good, so the stars seemed to be within reach. It was indeed beautiful.

They chatted about the stars for a while and could not continue the conversation soon. There was only a small flame left in the bonfire, but the cold night was not over yet. It seemed to be getting colder.

Song Yun shivered. “Xiao Xi-jiejie, is it this cold because the bonfire isn’t strong enough?”

“That’s not right. It wasn’t this cold when we walked in the day.” Song Tian burst into tears. “What the hell is this place? What’s the use of beautiful stars? I’m going to freeze to death.”

Fang Rong was still brooding over Bai Xi’s previous action and took the opportunity to attack her. “That’s right, Bai Xi. What route did you choose? It’s cold and hard to walk. I almost fell off the cliff during the day and I asked you to save me, but you didn’t even look at me. Is this how you conduct yourself?”

The people in the group did not expect such a thing to happen and turned their eyes to Bai Xi.

Bai Xi’s eyes immediately turned red.

She first sobbed, then she cried until she was out of breath. She cried as she said, “Aunt Fang, if I knew that you were in danger, how could I not go and help? The wind here is so strong. I can’t even hear people scolding me from three meters away. How can I hear your call for help?

“Besides, I’m not god. I just got the clue from the crew. I didn’t expect them to trick us. The route shown on the clue is so different from what we actually go through.”

Bai Xi raised her eyes to look at the crowd and said pitifully, “But in the end, it’s all my fault. I’m sorry. If only I didn’t pick up that clue.”

All the blame was on the production team. Avoiding the blame like this made the audience want to teleport to Bai Xi’s side and give her two loud slaps.

[Shameless people are invincible. It’s a real eye-opener. She completely removed herself from the situation with just a few sentences. So she didn’t do anything wrong at all huh?]

[I don’t like Fang Rong but I feel that she’s a little pitiful. She was betrayed by someone she trusted and doted on. Not only did Bai Xi not apologize, I think she’s blaming Fang Rong for crying for help too softly.]

[Even Bai Shao heard it at that time, but she said that there was no sound and urged him to move forward. I’m throwing up.]

[What else can Bai Xi do besides crying? I’m speechless.]

The people present did not know what Bai Xi had secretly done. They only listened to her side of the story and did not get angry. Instead, they comforted her.

“It’s all the production crew’s fault. Who’d have thought that the clue they gave would be so inaccurate?! Xiao Xi-jiejie, don’t be sad. We’re great in number. We can think of a way to get through this,” Song Yun consoled.

“Xixi, don’t cry. It’s not your fault. We’d better think about what to do next,” Li

Yan said.

Zhao Yuan was worried. “There isn’t any clue for the rest of the route. We can’t go on at all. Moreover, the snow is now up to our calves. If we continue walking, the snow may be even higher.”

“Shall we go back then?” Bai Shao asked..
