Chapter 288 - 145: Another Chance Encounter
Shi Yumei detected the insinuation in Sang Wan’s words and saw the strong disdain flash in her eyes, which made her dizzy with anger, and she glared bitterly at her before boarding the carriage and leaving abruptly. Why? She was just idly panicking and wanted to torment her properly, but who knew it would instead add to her own frustration!
In the apologetic gaze of the coachman, the carriage quickly disappeared into the bustling city.
"The eldest sister-in-law really is—"
"Liu Ya!" Sang Wan’s tone turned stern as she glanced at Liu Ya. A Master is a Master, no matter what wrongs they commit; it is not a slave’s place to speak out of turn. If these words were to reach Shi Yumei’s ears, Liu Ya would certainly suffer for it.
Liu Ya’s indignant words abruptly ceased, and she lowered her head.
"Sister-in-law, I’m sorry! It’s all my fault that you’ve suffered—" Shi Lian’s eyes were moist as she spoke with a bitter smile.
"Don’t say that!" Sang Wan felt even more apologetic and gently patted her hand, "If I hadn’t asked you to accompany me, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt! Does it hurt a lot? Can you still walk?"
Shi Lian shook her head, "Sister-in-law, don’t say that, it’s not your fault!" She tried to walk, but a piercing pain struck her, causing her feet to falter, and she almost fell, leaning heavily on Cai Yun, smiling bitterly, "Sister-in-law, I—"
"Bear with it a little, let’s hire a carriage and go to the clinic!" Seeing Shi Lian almost biting through her lip and the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Sang Wan knew she was truly in severe pain and felt immensely guilty.
"Sister-in-law, it’s okay, I can endure it." Shi Lian’s eyes brimmed with tears again. Since her aunt passed away, besides Cai Yun, no one had really cared for her. The concerned expression on Sang Wan’s face was all too clear to her.
