Just like what she had discussed with Leng Nuan, she thought that Liang Mumu was trying to tamper with the present she had bought.
But from the looks of it, she was wrong.
Or rather, she had underestimated Liang Mumu.
From the start to the end, Liang Mumu had never thought of tampering with the inkstone she had bought. Liang Mumu knew that she was too poor to afford an expensive present, so she intentionally made use of her greatest weakness to lay a trap for her.
It had to be said that Liang Mumu was indeed formidable. At the very least, her ploy had succeeded this time.
How could an inkstone that she had bought with 200 RMB be real? Most likely, Qin Yiran was her informant when she appeared at the antique market back then, and Liang Mumu was probably there to ask the shop owner what kind of inkstone she had bought. On the other hand, Liang Mumu was using the appearance of the inkstone to buy the real one …
In truth, Grandpa Lin wouldn't have minded whether she had bought a real inkstone or a fake one. Similarly, it wasn't too much for her to buy a fake inkstone either. It was just that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Lin Clan … Liang Mumu's actions had embarrassed the Lin Clan.
And the culprit who had embarrassed the Lin Clan was her … If that was the case, Liang Mumu's ploy had really succeeded.
The Lin Clan would surely hate her to death … Even if Grandpa Lin, who doted on her, and Sis Jiayi, who had a good relationship with her, didn't mind it, the other members of the Lin Clan might not … Putting aside the fact that her engagement with Lin Jiage was going to be annulled sooner or later, if she didn't, the Lin Clan might very well cancel the engagement after this incident.
But now that things had gotten to this point, the only thing she could do was apologize to Grandpa Lin …
With such thoughts in mind, she turned to look at Grandpa Lin.
She had clearly embarrassed the Lin Clan and made Grandpa Lin's birthday unhappy, but there wasn't the slightest hint of blame in the depths of his eyes. Instead, they were filled with worry …
She had always known that Grandpa Lin loved her from the bottom of his heart, but the sight before her still left her a little touched and a little sad.
She squeezed the fork in her palm tightly and called out to Old Master Lin, "Grandpa Lin!" But before she could even say "I'm sorry", Old Master Lin said, "Yaoyao, it's fine. Grandpa doesn't lack money."
Hearing Grandpa Lin's words, Lin Jiayi, who was seated beside Shi Yao, also chimed in, "That's right. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. What's important is the sincerity. Besides, let others say whatever they want. It's not our place to interfere, so it's fine, Yaoyao."
It would have been better if Grandpa Lin and Lin Jiayi hadn't said anything at all, but their words made Shi Yao feel even more guilty and sad.
She lowered her eyelids slightly and moved her lips again. She wanted to say "I'm sorry", but just as she opened her mouth, before she could say a word, a piece of cake was sent into her mouth.
She was stunned for a moment before she slowly turned her head around, only to see Lin Jiage standing there, as if nothing had happened at all.
Meeting her gaze, Lin Jiage explained nonchalantly, "The fruit on the cake won't taste good if it's left out for too long."
After saying those words, he stabbed another piece of cake into Shi Yao's mouth. This time, he raised his head to look at the people around him, who were either watching the show or watching the show. After Shi Yao finished the piece of cake that he had stabbed into her mouth, he casually asked, "How can you be so sure that Miss Liang's inkstone is real and Yaoyao's is fake?"
