"I-If my dad was truly murdered… a-and…" The murderer was his brother, what… should I do?
"Aish, Sister Pei Ge! You really believed that bad woman's words? Don't believe anything she says. She's definitely lying to you!"
"Indeed. Ge Ge, she purposely said that to upset you. Don't think about it anymore. Today's gathering is for you, so you shouldn't let yourself be influenced by those despicable people. Let's go drink!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Drink, drink! Tonight, we won't return without getting drunk! Let's drink to our heart's content and forget everything that upsets us!"
Lily and Qin Qitong each hooked an arm of hers spiritedly as they attempted to console her.
She nodded and smiled in response.
Alas, her smile did not reach her eyes.
Inside, she was still thinking of what Qiao Jingyun had said.
