Just like the results of her discussions with Leng Nuan the previous time around, s.h.i.+ Yao thought that Liang Mumu would try to tamper with the gift she had prepared.

But from the looks of it now, she had thought wrong.

Or rather, she had underestimated just what kind of person Liang Mumu was.

From the start to the end, Liang Mumu never had the intention to tamper with the inkstone she bought. Liang Mumu knew that she was poor and couldnt afford anything expensive, and that was the greatest weakness she had compared to Liang Mumu.

Due to that, Liang Mumu was able to set such a trap for her.

s.h.i.+ Yao had to admit that Liang Mumu was pretty formidable. At the very least, her tricks had worked this time around.

How could an inkstone she had spent 200 RMB on possibly be authentic?

1

So, it was not without reason why Qin Yiran and Liang Mumu appeared in the antique market back then. Qin Yiran was her spy, and she brought Liang Mumu there to have a look at the inkstone s.h.i.+ Yao had bought. With that information, Liang Mumu went ahead to look for the real deal to buy

s.h.i.+ Yao knew that Grandpa Lin wouldnt mind the fact that her inkstone was a fake. In the first place, buying a fake inkstone wasnt something contemptible. It was just that her ident.i.ty was that of the future granddaughter-in-law of the Lin Family

Liang Mumus actions had tarnished the reputation of the Lin Family, and the culprit who had allowed it to happen was her

From this perspective, Liang Mumu had succeeded in her aim.

The Lin Family was bound to hate her after this

Even if Grandpa Lin, who doted on her, and Sis Jiayi, who was on extremely good terms with her, didnt mind this, the rest of the family wouldnt necessarily think the same. At this rate, even if she didnt annul her engagement with Lin Jiage, the Lin Family would probably do it themselves instead.

At this point, it felt like the only thing she could do was to apologize to Grandpa Lin.

With such thoughts in mind, s.h.i.+ Yao turned to look at Grandpa Lin.

But even though she was the one who had embarra.s.sed the Lin Family and caused such an unhappy incident during Grandpa Lins birthday, she couldnt see the slightest hint of blame in Grandpa Lins eyes at all. Instead, they were filled with worry for her

All along, she knew that Grandpa Lin really doted on her, and this scene really left her feeling deeply moved, as well as a little sad.

She fiddled with the fork in her hands as she called out Grandpa Lin, but before she could apologize, the latter had already interjected, Yaoyao, its fine. Grandpa doesnt lack that kind of money.

Hearing Grandpa Lins words, Lin Jiayi, who was seated beside s.h.i.+ Yao, spoke up as well, Yeah, it doesnt matter whether its real or not. Its the sincerity that counts. Just let the others say whatever they want to. Its their mouth, we cant control what they say. Its fine, Yaoyao.

It was still fine before Grandpa Lin and Lin Jiayi said those words, but after hearing their consolations, she felt even more guilty and upset than before.

Her eyelids drooped a little as she moved her lips a little. She wanted to say Im sorry, but before she could utter a word at all, a cake was suddenly shoved into her mouth.

She was taken aback for a moment before she turned her head over with a delayed reaction. She found herself faced with a nonchalant Lin Jiage, who looked as if nothing had happened at all.

Meeting her gaze, Lin Jiage explained casually, The fruits on the cake wont taste good if you leave them for too long.

After saying those words, he cut the cake with his fork and delivered it toward s.h.i.+ Yaos mouth. At the same time, he swept a glance at the crowd who had gathered around to watch the show. He waited until s.h.i.+ Yao was done eating the cake before he remarked nonchalantly, How can you be so sure that Miss Liangs inkstone is the real one and Yaoyaos is fake?
