Lu Manman’s words were appropriate and generous.
Compared to Mo Li’s pitiful expression, this was a stark contrast.
Mo Li narrowed her eyes.
She had not expected Lu Manman to be set up to this point, and her strange behavior had not managed to anger her on the spot. She had thought that if it had been anyone else, Lu Manman would have lost her temper at this point, and she would have been the disadvantaged party in Lu Manman’s presence. Everyone would have felt like they were standing beside her, as she always had the ability to put herself at a pitiful disadvantage.
But what Lu Manman had just said made her seem so petty.
She narrowed her eyes and was about to say something.
Lu Manman was already supporting her gently. “Xiao Li, don’t kneel on the ground anymore. It’s cold, and you’re not feeling well. If your illness acts up again, your dad, mom, and brother would be worried, and I’d blame myself as well.”
Lu Manman helped Mo Li up. She could easily win this round by putting on a front.
At least at this point, everyone could see how generous Lu Manman was.
On the other hand, Mo Li was an eyesore with petty thoughts.
Mo Li glared fiercely at Lu Manman.
Lu Manman grabbed her hand and headed to the couch.
Mo Li immediately adjusted her expression. In just a second, she looked so lovely.
Lu Manman smiled beautifully, but she felt extremely ironic in her heart. She brought Mo Li to Jiang Yuyan’s side and said, “Mom, I’ve caused trouble for the family on my first day here. I really feel guilty. I didn’t do well enough with Sister, and it’s all my fault. I just wanted to know why Sister did this. I wonder if I’d done something that offended her, and she just didn’t know how else to express it. In the future, I’ll get along well with Sister, and we’ll pretend that nothing has happened today. I’ll get someone to buy Sister a purebred teacup dog to accompany her.”
“Manman.” Jiang Yuyan could not help but grab her hand. “I’ve always said that you’re sensible and obedient. I’ve only heard it from outsiders in the past, but now I know that the rumors are true. I’m really glad that Ah Xiu married you. I’m really glad. What happened yesterday actually made you feel aggrieved, but you still spoke up for your sister. I really don’t know what to say. Anyway, I’ll remember your magnanimity.”
“Mm-hm.” Lu Manman smiled kindly.
Meanwhile, Mo Li, who had been standing beside Lu Manman, was smiling cruelly.
Lu Manman had obviously won well in this matter.
Not only had she exposed Mo Li, but she had also let the entire family know that she was not as nice as she appeared on the surface and had left a stain on everyone’s impression of her. Moreover, the purer a person was, the more obvious the stain would be. It was like a clean white sheet of paper and a colorful sheet of paper. When dyed black, the white sheet would stand out even more. This contrast was just like Mo Li’s! Moreover, Lu Manman had been very smart and generous when she handled the matter. It was evident that Mo Li had been the one to bridge the gap so that Lu Manman could use her actions to express her perfection.
What a stark contrast!
Mo Li had not expected that the role she had been putting on for the past twenty years would be ruined by Lu Manman in less than half a day. Although she had not reached the point where everyone in the family hated her so much that they had lost all faith in her, this was the only time in her twenty years that she had been defeated and humiliated!
