Mr. Hou immediately grasped the situation, "Right, how did she get in here?"
Mr. Hou pointed at Xie Fangfang and critiqued her from head to toe, "Disheveled and a mess, where did this crazy woman come from to frighten our esteemed guest ?"
Mr. Hou's comment was quite on point.
The "crazy woman" was undoubtedly referring to Xie Fangfang.
And the "esteemed guest" was naturally referring to Shi Mei.
Xie Fangfang wasn't stupid, she quickly realized this and her face turned various shades.
Before Xie Fangfang could say anything, the people in the video call gasped and the room buzzed with conversation.
"What does Mr. Shi mean?"
"Could Shi Mei really be his wife?"
"That's impossible, if Shi Mei really were..." But the next words were immediately swallowed back.
Everyone saw that Shi Mei, who had just been looking vulnerable behind Shi Lingyan, started to cry even louder, grasping Shi Lingyan's sleeve tightly, and wailed, "Husband, sob sob sob..."
Shi Lingyan somewhat impatiently shook her hand off a bit, but didn't push her away, instead he asked, "Where is Tang Jingming?"
"Sob sob sob Tang Baobei doesn't want me anymore, sob sob sob!" Shi Mei's tears fell in big drops, "The old witch wants to eat me, he wants to eat me too, sob sob sob..."
Mr. Hou was dumbfounded and asked weakly, "Mr. Shi, she is..."
He actually admitted it?
Everyone couldn't help but inhale sharply.
"What the hell, what the hell! Did I just hear that Mr. Shi actually admitted it?"
"It's true... I heard it too."
"This can't be Shi Lingyan, right, has he...gone blind?"
The video call was buzzing with discussion, and Xie Fangfang's face turned beet red by the second.
Mr. Hou also couldn't accept this at first and after choosing his words carefully, he cautiously asked, "Mr. Shi, is she..."
"Uh-huh," Shi Lingyan replied succinctly, "She had a car accident and now has the intelligence of a five-year-old."
Mr. Hou wore an expression of regret.
But little did he know, the high school group video call had already gone completely wild!
"Shi Mei had a car accident and now has the intelligence of a five-year-old?"
"What the hell, I knew she seemed off, I guessed it!"
"No way, even though Shi Mei was a bit introverted in the past, she was still one of the top three academic achievers in our grade, and now you're telling me she's become foolish, it's such a pity, isn't it?"
After that comment, there was a brief silence in the group call.
Xie Fangfang's face turned extremely ugly, and she started yelling, "Have you all gone mad? Shi Mei is clearly faking it, she's perfectly normal, she just hit me and then she..."
"She hit you?" Shi Lingyan's eyebrows lifted slightly as if he heard something amusing, his gaze dismissive with a hint of a smile, "And then what?"
Shi Lingyan, already with striking features, coupled with such an indifferent expression and tone, distracted Xie Fangfang momentarily. The words reached the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't say them.
"Where is the security? Didn't you hear me, get her out now!" Mr. Hou bellowed, "From now on, remember this, don't let in anyone who is disheveled and insane."
Xie Fangfang turned pale, screaming at the top of her voice, "Disheveled and insane, she's the one who is, okay? She's clearly pretending to be crazy, don't let her appearance deceive you, it's all an act!"
