Liang Mumu stood at the doorway of the bedroom for some time before she hesitantly walked toward Jiang Wangui.
Biting her lower lip, reminiscent of a child who had done wrong, she spoke up meekly, “Auntie Lin, I’m sorry. I made a mistake just now—”
But before Liang Mumu could finish her sentence, Lin Jiayi had already interrupted her. Her words were callously sharp and direct, “The person you should apologize to isn’t my mother but Yaoyao.”
Hearing Lin Jiayi’s words, Jiang Wangui simply smiled quietly.
Liang Mumu choked from Lin Jiayi’s words for a while before she finally spoke once more. Unwilling to give up just like that, she attempted to justify her actions, “It’s not like that. I admit that I did misunderstand Yaoyao earlier. As a good friend, I should have more trust in her. But those male sneakers in the bedroom looked simply too suggestive…”
“Good friend? Are you sure about that?” Lin Jiayi’s lips curled up into a derisive smile as she interrupted Liang Mumu’s words once more. “Are you sure that it’s your lack of trust in Yaoyao, and not that you decided to suspect her from the very start?
“Even if there weren’t any male sneakers in the bedroom, perhaps you would’ve seen a male jacket, male shirt, male tie, or male pants instead?”
Faced with Lin Jiayi’s smooth and composed words, Liang Mumu was rendered completely speechless.
At this point, Lin Jiayi turned to Shi Yao, and different from the completely impassive words she had spoken just now, her words this time around had a tinge of gentleness to it, “Yaoyao, why don’t you tell us what’s going on?
“Start from why you ended up sleeping in this hotel room, or perhaps, why you were drinking last night, or even more specifically, were you the one who invited me and my mom here today?”
“Jiayi, don’t I always tell you that a person should never waste time on the meaningless?” Jiang Wangui, who had been silent throughout this confrontation, suddenly spoke up. Her voice was concise and composed. “All it takes to settle this matter is just one single question…”
At this, Jiang Wangui turned to Shi Yao and said, “Yaoyao, tell me. The decorations in this room and the present on the table, do I no longer have to accept them?”
It must be said that Auntie Lin’s words were truly sharp and on the point… Hearing her question, Shi Yao’s gaze couldn’t help drifting over to Liang Mumu.
She could clearly see Liang Mumu clutching her clothes tightly.
She knew that Liang Mumu was afraid of what she would say next… But with how far things had gone, she had no other choice.
It’s not as if she hadn’t given Liang Mumu any chances, but Liang Mumu continued trudging forward relentlessly, forcefully pushing the relationship between them to its current state.
Most likely, after today, they would be mortal enemies with one another… Shi Yao was silent for two seconds before she looked away from Liang Mumu. She turned to Jiang Wangui and nodded slightly. Without the slightest hesitation or reluctance, she replied, “Yes.”
This single word effectively told everyone that the decorations in the room weren’t set up by her, and the present on the table wasn’t prepared by her either. Everything that Liang Mumu claimed earlier had all been lies…
Shi Yao lowered her gaze and took a deep breath. Then, she took out her phone and tapped into her photo album before showing it to Jiang Wangui, “This is the bar which Mumu invited me to last night. I casually snapped a few photos there. I took these photos to upload them to my Moments page, but I never thought that I would end up using them like this…
“… I never planned on drinking there, but Mumu kept telling me to just take a sip, so I started drinking. I wasn’t too sure what happened after that—I was probably already drunk by then. By the time I came to, you were all ringing the doorbell. As for what happened in between, I really don’t know much…”
