Lan Lan's complexion instantly turned pale, she had not expected Maria to say these things to her face. It was too late to intervene, so she could only muster a strained explanation.
"Maria must have misunderstood something, she didn't mean it." Lan Lan tugged at her clothes, feeling helpless, and tried to pull her away quickly.
The moment Madam Si heard this, she put two and two together and had an epiphany.
Without asking, it was certain that Lan Lan had maligned Xiaren in front of others, turning truth on its head by claiming Xiaren stole her, Lan Lan's, boyfriend. Her heart ached for her son, who had now been unfairly labeled as fickle.
Lan Lan's skin must be extraordinarily thick, to have the audacity to fabricate such rumors in front of others, spreading them who knows how many times.
A legitimate girlfriend being painted as a homewrecker in front of others, who could bear such a scenario?
