"Yaya, is what Nana said true?" Ye Mei interrogated Jiang Shuya, who had been silent all along.
"Yes, it was I who hit her—" Jiang Shuya straightened her spine and admitted.
Yet Ye Mei's voice rose sharply as she interrupted, "That slap of yours was mighty harsh! Yaya, I've always treated you well in the Jiang family over the years, raising you as my own daughter. Whenever there was an issue between the two of you, I always scolded Nana and protected you. But why did you hit her today? Even if she said some wrong things, her intentions were good, she wanted to defend you. You don't appreciate her efforts which is fine, but to treat her like this... Yaya, you've deeply disappointed me!"
