Zhang Shilan was crying sadly and loudly. In the distant Capital City, Zhang Jintao, who hadn't hung up the phone, heard every bit of the commotion here, loud and clear.
Upon hearing Zhang Shilan's sobbing, his entire face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Neighbors, hearing the noise, gathered around to see what exactly had happened at the restaurant.
"Why did you do this?" Jing Juntao's gaze was sharp.
He didn't want to hear her pleading, nor did he want to hear her admitting fault. He just wanted to know, wasn't she getting along well with her lover? So why come back to trouble Tang Huai?
"I... I..."
"Speak!"
"I... I didn't want Tang Huai to take the high exam. I thought if I injured her, she wouldn't be able to take the exam... Grandpa Jing, I just slapped her, I didn't push her. She fell down the stairs on her own, I really didn't push her, you have to believe me!"
The neighbors sucked in a breath upon hearing Zhang Shilan's words.
