Before, Xu Cheng had told Eric the reason she and Huang Ying had been kicked out truthfully, albeit dramatically. Now, however, there wasn't a word of truth in what she told Lina. She portrayed herself as being helpless, meek, and pitiable, and she made Mdm Ruan and Ling Tianya out to be local tyrants.
Huang Ying had once said that Xu Cheng didn't know how to lie or conceal her feelings. After pretending to be Lina's daughter for so long, though, she had grown quite comfortable with lying.

Someone like Xu Cheng could be easily bought with a couple of designer bags.
