Suizi felt sick to her stomach listening to these people talk about her mother in such a weird and sarcastic tone.
They were begging for favors, yet they acted as if doing so was a chore, as if it was an obligation for Chen Lijun to help, and a heinous crime not to.
Yu Jingting, picking up Suizi's distress signal, immediately blended into the gossiping crowd.
"I remember holding Lijun in my arms when she was a child, and so many years have passed since then."
"Yes, she has held me too," Yu Jingting joined in.
"Now that she's successful and well off, I wonder if she can still remember ordinary folks like us."
All this strange and sarcastic banter was full of hidden traps, baiting others into saying bad things about Chen Lijun. It allowed them to keep themselves clean, while enjoying the juicy gossip.
If they came across someone without much social experience, that person could easily be led into this narrative, thereby becoming cannon fodder for others.
