But barely after taking a few steps, Liang Mumu suddenly called her, “Shi Yao.”
Why is she calling out to me?
Shi Yao was perplexed, but she didn’t have any intention of stopping for Liang Mumu.
“Shi Yao…” Liang Mumu called out again, her voice slightly higher than before this time around. “… Don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any other intention for calling out to you…”

A slight knit formed in between Shi Yao’s eyebrows, and she hastened her footsteps.
Do you take me to be someone who would stop just because you told me to? I have no interest in what you have to say…
“Shi Yao, what are you running off for? Or are you afraid of something? Are you afraid that I’d hit you?” Liang Mumu shouted.
I used to think that Liang Mumu was a fairly smart person, but looking at it again, she really seems to be lacking in self-awareness… Does she think that I would treat her the way I used to after everything that had happened?
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao moved even faster than before.
“Shi Yao, I swear that I won’t hit you…”
Does she really think that I’m afraid of her hitting me?
Without turning around or stopping her footsteps, Shi Yao replied, “I’m afraid that I’ll hit you…”

Perhaps it was because Liang Mumu was triggered by those words or that she felt that she was unable to keep up with Shi Yao, she got straight to the point, “Shi Yao, I’m calling you because I want to tell you a secret, and that is…”
Right after Liang Mumu said the word ‘secret’, Shi Yao immediately interjected coldly, “Liang Mumu, how in the world did you manage to convince yourself that I’d trust your words?”

She turned around to look at Liang Mumu with a solemn look on her face, and she said, “Liang Mumu, I have no interest to hear the secrets you know of, and you can certain that I won’t believe you either. I know what’s running through your mind. You simply wish to fracture relations. Did you think that I’m incapable of doing anything except to eat?”
Shi Yao paused for a moment before continuing on, “I might have still thought of you as an acquaintance before everything that has happened today, but right now, you’re nothing more than fleeting clouds to me.
“I can understand why you detest me so much, but I can’t forgive you messing around during Grandpa Lin’s birthday banquet. I know that Grandpa Lin favors me, but he dotes on you a lot too. You’re being a cold-blooded ingrate for trying to pull something like this during such an occasion.”
After saying that had to be said, Shi Yao turned around and walked away.
Perhaps Liang Mumu might really have words for her, but she had no intention of hearing it at all.
…
At the same time, on the first floor of Beijing World Hotel, Lin Jiage personally walked Uncle Ge out.
“Uncle Ge, I am really grateful to you for your help today.”
“What are you being so courteous with me for? Back then, you went to all lengths to get the painting I fancied for me, and I owe you a favor for that. Back then, I promised you that I’d help you with whatever you asked for…” At this point, Uncle Ge suddenly chuckled to himself. “… It’s just that I didn’t think that you would ask me to just speak a few words on Miss Shi’s behalf… You’re really making a huge loss here…”
“Loss?” Lin Jiage lowered his head slightly as he spoke. “Uncle Ge, when have you seen me making a loss before?”
