Han Jingting laughed out of sheer frustration, "Mom, what do you mean by that? So now it's my fault he didn't steal the real recipe?"
"By your logic, I should have just put the real recipe in the safe and waited for him to steal it, right!"
Ding Lijuan looked slightly impatient, "I didn't say you had to give Xiao Liang the real recipe to steal."
"What I mean is, since you already knew Xiao Liang was going to steal from you, why didn't you just stop him?"
"Is there a need to put a fake recipe out there as bait for him to fall into a trap?"
"This is clearly malicious intent!"
Han Jingting was so angry she didn't know what to say, "Mom, can we please be reasonable? I'm the one who got robbed!"
"Have you ever heard of blaming the victim instead of the thief when something gets stolen?!"
"You say I should have stopped him in advance, but there were no signs of theft then, how was I supposed to stop it?"
"Am I supposed to remind him to behave and not to steal from me?"
