Sheng Yize looked like he had heard the funniest thing in the world.
How brazen.
"Thank you, Miss Lan, for improving the mutual affection between me and my wife," he said in an impassive voice.
A malicious look flickered in Lan Yu's eyes. "Did I do anything wrong? Didn't your mother die because of her mother? Don't you think you betrayed your mother by marrying her?"
She sounded so vehement that Sheng Yize couldn't help but speculate.
"I don't think I'm important enough for Miss Lan to defend me against some injustice. So, here's what I want to know: how did Miss Lan know about that accident? Am I right in guessing that Miss Lan yourself or your family member was in that accident as well?"
The pile-up ended up leaving quite a few dead bodies behind. Unfortunately, some force had managed to suppress the news and all investigations hit a deadend.
Lan Yu clenched her coffee cup, stared into Sheng Yize's eyes, then smiled grimly.
