Kiss (1)

Liang Mumu: [I see. How's Grandpa Lin doing now?]

Shi Yao: [Not very good. He's 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, there's something that I have to tell you.

[Well, you mentioned earlier that you didn't know how Grandpa Lin found out that you were canceling the engagement with Brother Jia. Actually, I was the one who told Grandpa Lin.

[It's not that I wanted to report to Grandpa Lin behind your back, but I can't help feeling outraged on your behalf. Brother Jia must have treated you badly to make you want to cancel the engagement. But, I didn't say much to Grandpa Lin either. I simply said that Brother Jia didn't seem to be treating you well, and he doesn't want to marry you either.

[I really didn't mean anything else by it, and I didn't expect the matter to blow up like that either. If you hadn't 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 can't stand seeing you wronged. I didn't say much, but I think he might have jumped to conclusions, and it escalated from there. Yaoyao, I'm truly sorry that I ended up causing you trouble instead.]

So, Grandpa Lin found out about the cancelation of their engagement because of Mumu...

[Yaoyao, why aren't you replying back? Are you angry?

[Yaoyao, sorry sorry sorry. I promise you I won't act like that again in the future.]

Judging from what Mumu said, it sounded like she had meant well...

Recovering from her daze, Shi Yao replied: [I'm not angry with you. Mumu, it's over and done with, so let bygones be bygones.]

[You really aren't 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. I'm about to arrive at Golden Resplendence, so you'll 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 woman's voice at the sink uttering Lin Jiage's name.

Her hand paused in the middle of opening the door.

But she soon realized that they weren't talking about Lin Jiage but her.

"They say that the woman Lin Jiage brought with him is his fiancée, one of those child betrothals arranged by their grandparents. But, Lin Jiage doesn't like her at all, he probably even hates her. Let me tell you, they met once at SKP, and Lin Jiage looked at her like she was a stranger, and then completely ignored her. In the end, he even asked 'Who is she?'!"

"That can't be right. To not recognize his own fiancée, Lin Jiage must be faking it…"

"He really wasn't faking it. It was already late that night, and Lin Jiage brought his car out to hang out with us. But, he didn't even bother offering to send her home, and she had to grab her own taxi to leave."

"But if Lin Jiage really hates her, then why did he bring her here?"

"She must have shamelessly followed him here. Didn't you see how Lin Jiage spent the entire time ignoring her in the suite? She ended up sitting all alone like a fool."
