"Was it you who spread the news?"
Lang Xiyuan cut straight to the chase, asking without any nonsense.
Her question was decisive, cold, full of hostility, as if she had already concluded it was her.
Chu Liangxia was stunned. She found Lang Xiyuan's suspicion unbelievable and even... somewhat laughable.
"You think it was me?" Chu Liangxia asked back, pausing after each word.

Chu Liangxia couldn't believe how firmly Lang Xiyuan was pinning it on her. She lifted her eyes in disbelief and met Lang Xiyuan's convinced gaze, trembling slightly in anger.
After a while, she laughed, each word dripping with sarcasm: "I thought you just had a mental problem, but I didn't anticipate that you also lost your mind."
