Seeing her daughter revert to the lively and adorable girl she was before, Jiang Lai was pleased but knew she still had to ask the question she'd been holding back. She waited for Wen Qiao to wipe away her tears before bringing it up again, "Did you really do something so absurd at the engagement party?"
"No, I would never be so thoughtless."
Her denial rang with truth; indeed, she wouldn't do something so foolish—it had been the original Wen Qiao, not her.
"Tang Ru is just trying to deceive you with her lies. If you believe her, you'll fall right into her trap."
Jiang Lai felt relieved hearing her say this, "I don't believe her, I believe my daughter."
She looked at Wen Qiao with affection and stroked her hair, "Your mother couldn't attend your engagement dinner, don't hold it against me."
Wen Qiao shook her head, "Why would I?"
"Jinghen is a good boy. Knowing you're with him, I can rest easy."
