Chapter 107 - Confrontation (1) (2/2)

“You’re still lying to me?” Jian Yunnao said as he gritted his teeth. “I found out the person who gave the gift! I don’t understand why you’re lying to me!”

Jian Yunnao felt ridiculous. The people he was close to and cared about were betraying him, one by one!

First, it was Jian Yiling. Now it was Mo s.h.i.+yun!

“I didn’t…” Mo s.h.i.+yun replied. Her voice trembled as she squeezed her hands.

“You’re still saying you didn’t do it?”

Mo s.h.i.+yun said, “No. Could it be… Could it be a mistake? I don’t need to lie about a gift… If it wasn’t from me, then I wouldn’t say it was. That type of lie is so stupid…”

Mo s.h.i.+yun continued to explain to Jian Yunnao, “As soon as the person who gave the gift showed up, they would figure out that I lied. There’s no reason for me to tell a lie like that.”

Aunt Mo and Mo s.h.i.+yun hadn’t intentionally told this lie. It was too easily debunked. It was similar to lifting a stone and dropping it on your own foot.

When Jian Yunnao looked at Mo s.h.i.+yun’s pair of moist eyes, he hesitated again. Half of his confidence had disappeared.

Indeed, such a lie would be quite ridiculous.

Mo s.h.i.+yun continued to speak, “A gift is a token of appreciation. It’s not about whether it is expensive or not. I really have no reason to do such a thing.”

“Then why was the gift that my brother received from someone else? Where was your gift?”

“This… I don’t know. I left the paper bag at the door. When I saw Aunt An bring the bag in, I really thought that it was mine…”

Mo s.h.i.+yun was incredibly nervous as she spoke. Her palms were sweating a lot.

She wasn’t good at lying. However, this time she had to lie. It was for the sake of her mother. She had to deal with this matter.

Jian Yunnao frowned. Mo s.h.i.+yun’s explanation made sense. However, his parents and brother didn’t need to lie to him either.
