Her face registered shock. “Miss Su?”

She sized her up, her gaze revealed a tinge of sorrow and complex emotions.

Su Yue stepped forward and walked closer to her. She smiled and asked, “Auntie, what are you doing here?”

Zhang Lihong retracted her thoughts and ended the call.

She replied, “My friend’s son is getting married. I’m attending his wedding.”

Her att.i.tude was casual, almost cold.

Su Yue didn’t hate her as much as she did before. But the reason she initiated the greeting was entirely because of Bai Jing.

Otherwise, there was no need for greetings between them.

So, she didn’t mind Zhang Lihong’s att.i.tude towards her. She asked, “Auntie, how is Bai Jing doing?”

“She’s…” Hatred flashed across her eyes. She was about to speak when a thought ran through her mind, and so she kept her mouth shut.

She coldly said, “She’s doing well.”

This time, Su Yue noticed her att.i.tude. She was suspicious.

Bai Jing was neither friendly nor aloof towards her back then. Did their mother-daughter relations.h.i.+p worsen since then?

Su Yue guessed before she asked, “Is she still in Country M?”

“Mm,” Zhang Lihong replied coldly.

She refused to meet Su Yue’s gaze.

Su Yue deliberated before asking, “Auntie, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Zhang Lihong shook her head, and she was becoming slightly impatient. “I have something on and I need to go after this. Until next time.”

Then she turned around and prepared to enter a cubicle.

“Auntie,” Su Yue called out to her. She stopped in her tracks. Su Yue tilted her head to the side and observed her side-view. “Did something happen to Bai Jing?”

She felt that there was something off about Zhang Lihong’s att.i.tude. She seemed to be hiding something.

“No.”

Zhang Lihong straightened up and kept silent for a few seconds before she gave her answer.

Her voice was stiff and it didn’t seem to come from her heart.

Su Yue started to worry. She walked over and asked, “Auntie, if Bai Jing’s in any trouble, you can tell me.”

“Aren’t you to blame for what happened to her?” Zhang Lihong exploded in a rage.

Her entire body, even her voice, was trembling.

Su Yue retreated in fright. “What… do you mean?”

‘Aren’t you to blame for what happened to her?’

What happened to Bai Jing? What did she have to do with it?

Su Yue clenched her fists and awaited Zhang Lihong’s reply. She swallowed her saliva to alleviate her nervousness.

“She’s being tortured in jail. She’s better off dead than alive. Is your family happy now?” Zhang Lihong hollered as she took a step towards Su Yue.

Her cold and dangerous aura made Su Yue retreat in fear. Her back eventually hit the wall.

She was startled, confused, and bewildered.
