Shi Mei almost burst into laughter.
Although Shi Yuanyuan seemed foolish and her words were recklessly blunt,
there was a saying that the enemy of one’s enemy is a friend.
Thus, at this moment, even Shi Mei found herself somewhat pleased with her, and collaboratively expressed a scared and confused look. She glanced at Bai Yuejie, then at Shi Yuanyuan, and finally at the broken Ruyi in her hand.
Old Lady Shi’s face looked unpleasant, "Yuejie is clever and sensible, she wouldn’t do such a thing."
"Grandma Shi, I truly don’t understand what’s going on, this was the birthday gift I had carefully prepared for Shi Mei, just so she could win your favor. Who knew that this piece of my sincere heart would be used by others," Bai Yuejie revealed a bitter smile, "If I wanted to frame Shi Mei, I could simply ignore her. Why would I prepare a birthday gift?"
"Yeah, if you ignore her, letting her bring her own gift would be even more embarrassing, right?"
"This Shi family’s heiress really has a petty mind."
"Just trying to throw dirty water on Miss Bai, as if everyone else is blind?"
Shi Yuanyuan crossed her arms, "I’m afraid someone has targeted this very point, that’s what’s terrifying about smart people, knowing no one will suspect her, she made a fool take the blame. I can’t even imagine, if I wasn’t here, how bullied Shi Mei would have been?"
The scene was at a tense standoff when suddenly, Shi Mei pulled the box together, pouting and saying, "A broken longevity Ruyi can’t be given to Grandma as a birthday gift anymore, but Shi Mei doesn’t have another gift, ying ying ying, what to do, Sister Bai?"
"Again, Sister Bai," Shi Yuanyuan said with an acidic tone, "You’re so dependent on her, you wouldn’t know if you were sold one day."
Although she disdained the fool’s reliance, after all, she was Shi Mei’s cousin, yet this little fool only depended on an outsider and completely ignored her. Did it mean all her efforts to advocate justice for her here were in vain?
Even though she was just annoyed by Bai Yuejie herself, shouldn’t she also be swayed to distance herself from Bai Yuejie?
Sigh, a fool is indeed a fool.
"What happened here?" A man’s voice came from afar, cool and magnetic, cold yet with a touch of gentleness.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and a man walked in, with sharp facial features and stunning handsomeness. His eyes carried a remote indifference, rejecting people miles away without even speaking.
He showed little expression on his face, but his eyes seemed to contain thousands of stars, profound and unfathomable.
He was dressed in a perfectly tailored sapphire blue suit, exuding an aura of cool detachment and an air of strict abstinence about him.
At the sight of him, Shi Mei’s expression became even more aggrieved, and she pouted and threw herself at Shi Lingyan, crying out, "Hubby!"
Shi Mei plunged into his arms, clutching his waist, and said pitifully, "My gift got broken!"
Seeing Shi Mei’s rough action, the company executives following Shi Lingyan couldn’t help but twitch their brows and eyes.
This woman clearly didn’t know what she was getting herself into!
Mr. Shi despised women getting too close to him.
They had followed Mr. Shi for several years, and aside from Tang Wu, they had never seen him give special treatment to any other woman.
Not even Miss Bai was an exception.
In such a public setting, it was feared that this girl would lose all face.
