Chapter 107: Confrontation (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the evening, Jian Shuxing and the others left the Old Jian Residence.

Upon returning home, Jian Yunnao immediately went to find Mo Shiyun.

He wanted to find her and ask her why she did such a thing! Why did she lie to him?!

Mo Shiyun spent the weekends in her room. During that time, she always studied and never left home.

She had to work twice as hard to get into a good university for her college entrance exams.

When she was studying, she received a call from Jian Yunnao.

Mo Shiyun had a bad feeling when she read that Jian Yunnao asked her to meet him. He said that he needed to ask her about something.

Mo Shiyun’s knuckles turned white as she squeezed her phone.

In her heart, she warned herself: If it’s regarding Yuncheng’s gift, she had to answer according to the original plan. She must not make a blunder. This was related to her mother’s job! She couldn’t destroy her mother’s only hope!

After making up her mind, Mo Shiyun went outside.

She saw Jian Yunnao rushing towards her. His eyes had obvious anger in them.

At that moment, Mo Shiyun was sure that Jian Yunnao knew about the situation. She started to feel a little nervous. Her palms were slightly sweating.

“My brother’s gift. Was it from you or not?” Jian Yunnao asked. He got straight to the point.

“What’s wrong?” Mo Shiyun replied. Her voice was soft and sounded surprised.

“I’m asking if my brother’s gift was from you! I want you to answer me honestly!”

“It was from me... I left it at the door the other day...”

“You’re still lying to me?” Jian Yunnao said as he gritted his teeth. “I found out the person who gave the gift! I don’t understand why you’re lying to me!”

Jian Yunnao felt ridiculous. The people he was close to and cared about were betraying him, one by one!

First, it was Jian Yiling. Now it was Mo Shiyun!

“I didn’t...” Mo Shiyun replied. Her voice trembled as she squeezed her hands.

“You’re still saying you didn’t do it?”

Mo Shiyun said, “No. Could it be... Could it be a mistake? I don’t need to lie about a gift... If it wasn’t from me, then I wouldn’t say it was. That type of lie is so stupid...”

Mo Shiyun continued to explain to Jian Yunnao, “As soon as the person who gave the gift showed up, they would figure out that I lied. There’s no reason for me to tell a lie like that.”

Aunt Mo and Mo Shiyun hadn’t intentionally told this lie. It was too easily debunked. It was similar to lifting a stone and dropping it on your own foot.

When Jian Yunnao looked at Mo Shiyun’s pair of moist eyes, he hesitated again. Half of his confidence had disappeared.

Indeed, such a lie would be quite ridiculous.

Mo Shiyun continued to speak, “A gift is a token of appreciation. It’s not about whether it is expensive or not. I really have no reason to do such a thing.”

“Then why was the gift that my brother received from someone else? Where was your gift?”

“This... I don’t know. I left the paper bag at the door. When I saw Aunt An bring the bag in, I really thought that it was mine...”

Mo Shiyun was incredibly nervous as she spoke. Her palms were sweating a lot.

She wasn’t good at lying. However, this time she had to lie. It was for the sake of her mother. She had to deal with this matter.

Jian Yunnao frowned. Mo Shiyun’s explanation made sense. However, his parents and brother didn’t need to lie to him either.
