"Why are you calling me a liar? Why would you even accuse me of hitting you in the first place?"
The sight of Lihua's emotional response seemed to amplify Mengrui's own distress, intensifying her own heightened state of agitation. She looked up at Lingyun and said, "Lingyun dage saw my face was injured and it was because you slapped me!
"What evidence do you have to prove that it was me who hit you, exactly?"
"That..." Mengrui was now feeling like she had put her foot in her mouth by not saying to Lingyun that Lihua had hit her that day itself. She should have told him earlier or else this bitch wouldn't have the nerve to act like this.
Xia Lihua batted her eyelashes innocently as she said, "Didn't you fall by yourself, face-first on the slippery bathroom floor? I certainly didn't slap you."
