Sister Jiayi’s words were so precise that even the timing was accurate.
If anyone were to hear those words, they would probably believe them, right?
Not to mention others, even she thought that it was true without the precise timing of August 30th.
But… why would Lin Jiage tell such a huge lie?
Just as this question flashed through Shi Yao’s mind, her fingertips trembled slightly.
It was no wonder that Grandpa Lin, who had been so determined to get her to be together with him all these years, would relent. It was no wonder that day when Grandpa Lin called her, he kept saying that he had let her down.., it was no wonder that Sister Jiayi had repeatedly told her that she had to keep it a secret, that she had to keep her family’s dirty laundry a secret..
It turned out that Lin Jiage had poured such dirty water on himself in order to return her peace and freedom.
It turned out that he had replied to her message the other day saying that they were looking for you? After which, he didn’t bother with her anymore. She thought that they would just disappear like that, but in a place that she didn’t know about, he had suffered so much for her..
Getting drunk and getting a girl pregnant… to the Lin clan, which had always placed great emphasis on education, such a thing was truly ridiculous. Putting Grandpa Lin aside, even uncle Lin and Auntie Lin would probably be furious!
SIS Jiayi said that Grandpa Lin had beaten him up and kicked him out of the house, and he didn’t even give him a birthday banquet this year. Up until now, Grandpa Lin hadn’t allowed anyone from the Lin clan to visit him.., he was surrounded by many people for his birthday, but this year… Lin jiage, he… he did it for her.
The more Shi Yao thought about it, the more she felt a little uncomfortable.
“Yaoyao, we’re going shopping this afternoon. Are You Going?”He Tiantian walked out of the bathroom with a wet face. As she took out a tissue to wipe her face, she asked Shi Yao.
Shi Yao came back to her senses and hesitated for a few seconds before shaking her head at he tiantian. “I’m not going. I still have to go to a student’s house to catch up on my lessons this afternoon.”
“Alright then. What about tonight? Do you want to have dinner together?”
“We’ll see when the time comes…”Shi Yao replied to He Tiantian’s words, and her mind drifted away once more.
After he tiantian, Jiang Yue, and Leng Nuan went out to shop, Shi Yao also packed up her things and headed to the student’s house.
By the time she finished her lessons, it was already five in the afternoon.
After leaving the student’s house, Shi Yao walked past the convenience store to buy some water. In her backpack, she found an exquisitely wrapped cardboard box.
This was the birthday present she had prepared for Lin Jiage..
Shi Yao stared at the gift box in a daze for quite some time until the convenience store owner urged her to pay for it. She hurriedly put away her confused thoughts and opened wechat. After scanning the code and paying, she took the water and walked toward the school absent-mindedly.
On her way, Shi Yao passed by a cake shop. Through the transparent glass, she could see that the cupboards were filled with all kinds of beautiful cakes of various colors.
Shi Yao didn’t know what she was thinking either, nor did she know how long she had been wandering in front of the cake shop. She also didn’t remember how she walked into the cake shop. In short.., by the time she finally came to her senses, she was already standing inside the cake shop. The waiter was helping her pack the cake, whispering to her about the price and asking her how many sets of plates she wanted?
Shi Yao paid the bill while replying to the waiter’s words. She waited for a little longer before taking the cake and leaving the shop.
