Stepped On Something

With her eyes firm, she looked at Cousin Ling who seemed surprised but then her gaze calmed down while she stared down at AiLin and she noticed how the frail looking woman had seized her figure and then showed a sarcastic smile upon her lips. She crossed her arms and shrugged, "What may you be talking about, Miss AiLin? Do you doubt me as a person who would go so far as to push myself to the pond just to hurt someone I have just met?" 

"I wonder," AiLin said, "It seems so coincidental and I don't believe in coincidences." 

"What was coincidental?" Cousin Ling asked. She didn't seemed nervous even as she was called out by her which means either she believed that her action was never wrong or that her action was deserved.
