Mo Jin did not dodge or let go. She only stood firmly in place and closed her eyes as if she was preparing to take the slap.

Shi Guang’s cold eyes hid an exploding fury. She really wanted to give her a tight slap!! But how could she be so heartless and hit her? After all, they had many years of familial relationship.

She harshly swatted Mo Jin’s hands away and turned around to leave.

In her sheer devastation, Mo Jin could only watch Shi Guang’s back view as she walked away. When she saw Shi Guang’s car drive out, Mo Jin stood rooted to the ground and tears slowly started to flow out.

She thought about the times she and Shi Guang spent together, and she somehow stopped and pondered over her memory of Shi Guang hugging her neck and smiling sweetly at her. “Sister.”

That scene was very beautiful and heartwarming.

But she would not be able to see it anymore…

Her legs went wobbly as a noodle and she fell to the ground.

Footsteps sounds soon drifted into her ear. It sounded closer and closer, and it stopped right in front of her. Mo Jin lifted her eyes up and saw Su Qianxun. She froze but quickly regained her senses and pulled a sarcastic smile.

“Why?” Su Qianxun’s cold voice rang above her. “Shi Guang didn’t tell you the bidding price, so why did you claim that it was her who divulged such intricate detail? But with how I see it, you just wanted us to believe that it was really Shi Guang. Why did you do that?”

Mo Jin smiled which looked even uglier than crying. “It was Shi Guang who told me. I know all of you won’t believe me but it was indeed Shi Guang who I had a deal with. After that…”

“Is that the truth?” Su Qianxun cut off her words.

“It is the truth,” Mo Jin said and then momentarily went silent as she tolerated the pain from her stiff joints. After this, she stood up.

Su Qianxun turned her head towards the hypocrite beside her. “Are you sure of your claim that it was Shi Guang who told you all these? If that’s the case then why are you feeling guilty? Why?”

Mo Jin’s hands, which were at her sides, clenched into two fists. She then said, “I’m not guilty because I accused her but because I said the truth. I’m guilty because I told all of you everything that Shi Guang told me. After all, I promised her that I would not say it out loud. I betrayed our promise!”

Su Qianxun’s face by now had a cold expression on it, she asked, “Then do you know why Shi Guang was so angry just now?”

Mo Jin pursed her lips. “…”

She had just opened her mouth but Su Qianxun had beat her to it.

“Shi Guang was angry not because you wronged her by saying that this whole matter was her doing but because you refused to say the truth. Shi Guang is a brave and fearless woman. Even when my elder brother and sister-in-law got into an accident, or when Feifei was in a vegetative state or during the time she lived a difficult life, Shi Guang still kept a positive attitude. Other than having an indomitable spirit to press forward and an ability to take responsibility, she trusted that with you, with someone she considers her family—there is nothing she cannot overcome. However, look at yourself now. You made her an outsider. If you really want to make yourself seem like a greedy woman then don’t act as though you had no choice. Instead, do it in front of her and make her worried even when she already is worried about you.”

With that long speech, Su Qianxun turned around and returned to the house.

The atmosphere turned silent again and cold air swooshed past.

Mo Jin was silent for a few seconds before she suddenly covered her face and cried.
