2 An old friend (1/2)

Yi Lan had just returned after she had watched the amusing show in front of her, when a figure leapt in front of her.

Yi Lan only watched disinterested at the person standing in front of her. With long dark hair and deep blue eyes, she had drawn in many men into her traps. Little did they know, what kind of a woman she really was.

”Yi Lan, I thought you were better than this, how could you do this to Mo Huo!?” The seemingly hurt woman opened her mouth pitifully.

She looked at Yi Lan with big, watery, sad eyes. ”Brother Mo Huo had already been so good to you, yet you repay his kindness with such dirty tricks?!”

Yi Lan scoffed in her heart. Had she not known the real nature of the person in front of her, she would have long been fooled by her act. She smirks inwardly. So be it. She'll pay back acting with acting.

With innocence and confusion in her eyes, she tilted her head to look at the woman. ”Mo Ling, what are you talking about? I have no idea, so please excuse this ignorant fool.”

The person addressed to's expression immediately turned ugly and she sputters out ”Dont act innocent, I know you are the one who spread the video.”

”What video? You see, my phone's been taken away by my brother, so I wasn't able to check anything.” says Yi Lan in a sweet tone.

For a moment, Mo Ling considers the fact that maybe Yi Lan wasn't the one who spread the video. But then she caught sight of Yi Lan's eyes that were sparkling with mirth.

Intense anger fills Mo Ling.” You! Stop acting and tell me, how did you photoshop Brother Mo Huo's face in the video!?”

By this time, a lot of people had already gathered around and were whispering constantly.

”Sister Mo Ling, please do not accuse me of such dirty things. I am uncapable of doing those.” Yi Lan puts on a hurt look on her face, making her seem more adorable than usual.

The people sigh inwardly as they watch the beautiful girl in front of them look sad. Each felt a need to protect her.

Yet, one person remained unaffected to this face of hers. Intense anger bubbled up in Mo Ling and she spoke up ”I am not your sister, so don't call me that. And what nonsense are you blabbering about?! It's obvious, Brother was falsely accused by you.”

”Oh..And why would I do so?!” asks Yi Lan calmly.

Watching Yi Lan look calm, Mo Ling's body shook in anger and she spurt out ”Obviously because when you had previously confessed to him, he rejected you and so you decided to take revenge. Posting a fake video to put dirt on him.”

Yi Lan sneers inwardly, yet shows a hurt face while saying ”Sister Mo Ling, why do you say such cruel things? I have still not recovered from the heartbreak Mo Huo had given me. Even if he rejected me, why would I do such a thing to a person I loved?! Maybe..” Yi Lan stops speaking in between, acting hesitant.

”Maybe what?” asks Mo Ling.

”Maybe it was someone close to him. You never know when a person may stab you in the back.” Yi Lan purposely laid emphasis on these sentences, trying to push the blame on Mo Ling.

The people around them start to mutter.

”I also agree with Yi Lan. Why would she do such a thing?”

”Yes, yes, she's from the Yi family. With such a family to have her back, why would she use underhanded methods?!”

”If so, then don't you think the person who posted the video might be Mo Ling?!”

”You! Stop saying such things out loud. Do you wish to be dead so soon?!”

Though their words were soft, both Yi Lan and Mo Ling could hear them. Yi Lan just continues her act. She knew Mo Ling better than anyone.
