Perhaps it was because Liang Jiusi's cousin had mentioned the word "Yaoyao", but Shi Yao raised her head to look at the two of them once more.
What was there to look at? Could they possibly be any better than me?
Lin Jiage couldn't help but reach out to pat Shi Yao's cheeks lightly. "If you don't want to eat this cake, I'll eat it …"
Hearing that Lin Jiage was going to snatch her cake, Shi Yao immediately lowered her head, shielded the cake with her hands, and began wolfing down the cake.
Looking at Shi Yao's adorable table manners, Lin Jiage's eyes softened a little.
He stared at her for a while longer before he finally lifted his eyes to look at the scene at the side.
Shen Bailian looked indignant at Liang Mumu's rebuke. She still wanted to say something, but in consideration of Liang Mumu, she eventually relented in the end.
Seeing that Shen Bailian had gone silent, Liang Mumu reverted back to her sweet self. She looked at Grandpa Lin with a look that seemed as if she was trying to resolve the matter peacefully before continuing, "Grandpa Lin, don't listen to Bailian's nonsense. I bought this inkstone during the Spring Festival, and I was intending to give it to you as a birthday present. However, I believe that Yaoyao isn't like what Bailian said, intentionally bumping into my birthday present …"
Liang Mumu's acting as a good person really made him wish that he could buy a whole car of good person cards for her … Wait, no, it should be fake good person cards …
Lin Jiage really couldn't stand watching Liang Mumu's performance anymore. He was just about to retract his gaze to look at Shi Yao when Grandpa Lin spoke up, "Mumu, I know what you're saying even without you saying it. I know what kind of person Yaoyao is, and there's no way that she's intentionally bumping into your birthday present. It's clearly a coincidence!"
Hearing those words from his grandfather, Lin Jiage nearly burst into laughter.
Grandpa, do you really have to ruin the show like that? She's clearly trying her best to hint at something, so how can you continue with your act?
With such thoughts in mind, Lin Jiage reluctantly turned to look at Liang Mumu.
As expected, the smile on Liang Mumu's face became a little less natural than before. Even her voice seemed to waver a little as she said, "Grandpa Lin, you're right. Yaoyao isn't that kind of person. Actually, I only learned that Yaoyao was going to give you an inkstone a month ago. I wanted to change the present I gave you, but I haven't been able to find a suitable one, so I could only give you the same one."
"It's fine, it's fine …" Grandpa Lin replied as he took the inkstone from Liang Mumu's hands. After which, he lowered his head to take a look at it before replying, "Not bad," out of politeness and perfunctorily. After which, he passed the inkstone over to Auntie Sun, gesturing for her to keep it.
Compared to when Shi Yao had passed him the inkstone earlier, Grandpa Lin's current attitude was worlds apart.
The displeasure and indignation in her heart made Liang Mumu grip her clothes tightly.
She tilted her head slightly to look at the inkstone that Grandpa Lin had placed on the table, and she pursed her lips tightly before shooting Shen Bailian a meaningful glance.
Sensing Liang Mumu's hint, Shen Bailian suddenly exclaimed in astonishment. Her voice was so loud that everyone in the first two rows of the banquet hall could hear her, "Hm? Am I seeing things? The inkstone that Mumu gave Grandpa Lin is identical to the one that Yaoyao gave him? "
