The feeling of unfairness

"Xiaoyi, you had agreed to do this for me. Because we're childhood friends, remember? Why are you retracting that statement now?" Meng Renshu asked with a stiff face.

"As I said, it's not like I plan this to happen. Mother is the one who decided that."

"Then, it should be okay if I convinced Auntie to let you come with me, right?"

"Yeah, but I don't think she will like that."

"Are you truly don't mind with this at all?" Meng Renshu asked in frustration. 

Li Caiyi tilted her head in confusion. "It's not like it would make any difference if I show up as your partner or regular attendee, so wouldn't it be weirder if I mind?" 

Meng Renshu gritted his teeth, clearly losing his composure. "Don't shift the subject. I'm asking if you don't mind being switched like that because Auntie thought Xiaohua was more suitable for becoming my partner. Don't you feel wronged at all?"
