Mrs. Shi was a woman who had weathered many storms; although she was ill and frail, her mind was not muddled. With just one sentence from Ling Yunshu, she immediately understood the whole situation.
"So, Che'er never agreed to it, did he?"
Ling Yunshu, feeling guilty towards Mrs. Shi, did not dare to look up at her and simply nodded silently, "I acted on my own."
Mrs. Shi's expression immediately darkened. No wonder she always felt that Shi Che was particularly cold toward Ling Yunshu, not at all like someone about to be engaged. She thought it might just be a temporary adjustment, but she never expected it all to be a sham!
But...
Mrs. Shi seemed to recall something, her gaze suddenly sharpened. She looked at Ling Yunshu and spoke sternly, "Isn't Che'er in love with you? Why wouldn't he want to get engaged to you?"
Everyone had seen how Shi Che used to treat Ling Yunshu; Shi Che, who was usually detached, was different with Ling Yunshu. Wasn't that love?
