Yun Xi’s nonchalant demeanor baffled Yang Lu.
“No way? That woman is really that vicious? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay! Don’t worry.”
Yang Lu frowned. Her gut feelings told her that something was wrong.
“But doesn’t she understand the relations.h.i.+p between me and you? Yet she asked me to spy on you? Is she in her right mind?”
“It’s not that she isn’t in her right mind, but rather that she wants to use you as her bait…”
She didn’t explain what she meant, but smiled and said, “She came to you on purpose to cause strife between us.”
“You mean she wasn’t worried that I’d tell you?”
“On the contrary, her true motive was for you to tell on her. Some would think that by your telling on her, if I was on my guard, I might think it was a trap and choose not to believe you. And this sort of strife could ruin the relations.h.i.+p between us. n.o.body would be stupid enough to actually say this to a person, so if you did, the person probably wouldn’t believe you and think that you were doing it on purpose, so they could swoop in and set a trap for me later on.”
“But I didn’t lie, she really asked me, and I didn’t agree. How could I do that to you?”
Yang Lu vaguely understood the meaning of Yun Xi’s words. The fact that the woman had come to her, no matter what she’d said or done, was enough to make some people suspicious.
She wouldn’t even need to do anything to make the two of them suspect each other.
D*mn it! She’d been trying to frame her.
“I know, I believe you, I’m not blind, and I can tell reality from falsehoods. If I didn’t believe you, I wouldn’t be telling you this. You have to be more cautious in the future, and you should think more deeply about such matters. Not everyone is as smart as I am.”
“I…I know…”
She hadn’t really begun to understand the evils of humanity, and she didn’t have very much experience as she hadn’t stepped out into society yet.
When Yun Xi explained what had occurred, she felt that she had been really naive.
