The office was rather quiet, following Li Yawei's explanation. Many people could hardly bear to look at Li Yawei. Even Gao Jie began to question her original judgment— was Li Yawei really as calculating as they thought she was?
It's true that people can grow rapidly under harsh circumstances, but Li Yawei exhibited nothing but naivety, sincerity, and perhaps a dash of childishness.
If Li Yawei were an actress, then her performance was stunning.
However, there was another explanation— she wasn't acting. Everything she said came from the heart, which allowed her to explain things so coherently, leaving no room for Gao Jie to find any flaws.
Although Gao Jie had this thought, she found it hard to believe that Li Yawei's actions were sincere because if that were true, then a lot of things couldn't be explained. After all, Gao Jie was a person who relied on evidence.
