Chen Mumu sat cross-legged on the couch in her dimly lit living room.
The muted hum of the television filled the space as Lin Yuyan's exclusive interview played on the screen. Beside her, the untouched cup of tea had long gone cold.
She watched as Lin Yuyan spoke with tears glistening in her eyes, her voice trembling as she described a betrayal that had apparently torn her family apart. For a moment, Mumu felt a pang of something—disbelief? Frustration? It was hard to pinpoint.
She leaned forward slightly, narrowing her eyes. Who is this woman?
She had wracked her brain all night, trying to remember if she had ever encountered Lin Yuyan before. But the answer remained the same: she hadn't. Not once.
The interview ended with Lin Yuyan's emotional plea for justice, and as the camera panned out to the studio audience applauding her courage, Mumu exhaled deeply.
