"Miss Lin, did you receive my gift? Do you like it?"
Pei Nuo's voice was still so calm, yet it made people's hearts tremble with fear.
...
Downstairs.
Elder Lady Xi and Lan Xin Ai exchanged a glance, both filled with confusion. Earlier, Lin Mengyao seemed very scared, but also very angry. It was just strange.
"Is there something wrong?" Lan Xin Ai hesitated for a moment, then spoke up.
Elder Lady Xi squinted her eyes slightly, "I'll go up and take a look."
"I'll go with you."
Lan Xin Ai immediately supported Elder Lady Xi.
"No need, I'll just take a look myself." Elder Lady Xi stopped Lan Xin Ai.
"Grandma, let's go together. If something happens to Mengyao, I can help comfort her."
Lan Xin Ai wasn't really worried about Lin Mengyao; she just couldn't ignore what happened right in front of her eyes.
"Xin Ai, it's not that I don't want you to go, but you and Mengyao have never been close. I'm afraid she won't tell the truth with you there."
