Liang Mumu: [I see. Howâs Grandpa Lin doing now?]
Shi Yao: [Not very good. Heâs still under observation at the hospital.]
It took a long moment before Liang Mumu finally sent another message. It was a very long one.
[Yaoyao, thereâs something that I have to tell you.
[Well, you mentioned earlier that you didnât know how Grandpa Lin found out that you were canceling the engagement with Brother Jia. Actually, I was the one who told Grandpa Lin.
[Itâs not that I wanted to report to Grandpa Lin behind your back, but I canât help feeling outraged on your behalf. Brother Jia must have treated you badly to make you want to cancel the engagement. But, I didnât say much to Grandpa Lin either. I simply said that Brother Jia didnât seem to be treating you well, and he doesnât want to marry you either.
[I really didnât mean anything else by it, and I didnât expect the matter to blow up like that either. If you hadnât told me about it, I would have thought that the issue was already settled. But, thinking about it now, I was really reckless. Grandpa Lin likes you a lot, even more than Sister Jiayi in fact, and he canât stand seeing you wronged. I didnât say much, but I think he might have jumped to conclusions, and it escalated from there. Yaoyao, Iâm truly sorry that I ended up causing you trouble instead.]
So, Grandpa Lin found out about the cancelation of their engagement because of MumuâŠ
[Yaoyao, why arenât you replying back? Are you angry?
[Yaoyao, sorry sorry sorry. I promise you I wonât act like that again in the future.]
Judging from what Mumu said, it sounded like she had meant wellâŠ
Recovering from her daze, Shi Yao replied: [Iâm not angry with you. Mumu, itâs over and done with, so let bygones be bygones.]
[You really arenât angry?]
[Really.]
[Muah! Yaoyao, I knew you were the best!]
Two seconds later, Liang Mumu sent another message. It was a picture of a cake.
[To show you how sorry I am, I specially bought a cake for you. Iâm about to arrive at Golden Resplendence, so youâll get it very soon.]
Shi Yao sent a Drooling Face emoji before getting up and walking out of the cubicle.
As she walked to the restroom door, she was just about to head out to wash her hands when she suddenly heard a womanâs voice at the sink uttering Lin Jiageâs name.
Her hand paused in the middle of opening the door.
But she soon realized that they werenât talking about Lin Jiage but her.
âHe really wasnât faking it. It was already late that night, and Lin Jiage brought his car out to hang out with us. But, he didnât even bother offering to send her home, and she had to grab her own taxi to leave.â
âBut if Lin Jiage really hates her, then why did he bring her here?â
âShe must have shamelessly followed him here. Didnât you see how Lin Jiage spent the entire time ignoring her in the suite? She ended up sitting all alone like a fool.â
