Lin Jiage’s aunt, Lin Gunan, stepped in and said, “Mrs Liang, it’s none of our business whether you discipline your niece or not. You can feel free to do whatever you deem appropriate at home. As for paying us a visit and apologizing, you can spare with the trouble. I don’t think that my father, my older brother, my sister-in-law, and my future niece-in-law will appreciate your effort.”
“Gunan is right,” Jiang Wangui, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke up as well. “Our Lin Family isn’t so cheap as to allow an attempt to besmirch our reputation pass with just a mere apology.”
Liang Huiling lowered her posture slightly as she replied with an embarrassed smile, “Yes, Wangui and Sister Gunan is right. It’s really a huge embarrassment that such a fiasco happened. I’ll surely make sure to discipline Mumu properly when we get home. I hope that you can calm your anger for now. Besides, it’s Uncle Lin’s birthday. We shouldn’t let a minor matter like this ruin his mood for the rest of the day, don’t you say so?”
Minor matter?
Are you calling bullying Soft Bun a minor matter? If that can is a minor matter, there’s nothing in the world that can be considered major anymore!
A displeased glint flickered across Lin Jiage’s eyes, and before anyone could respond to Liang Huiling’s words, he had already spoken up with a seemingly lackadaisical tone, “Aunt Liang, you really do view Miss Liang as your own daughter. You give her plenty of pocket money to spend, and now you’re taking on the role of her parent to keep her line.”
Following Lin Jiage’s words, hushed discussions broke out in the room once again.
“Oh my god, Miss Liang is not the real daughter of the Liang Family?”
“You don’t know? She addresses Liang Huiling as her aunt! She isn’t the scion of the Liang Family. It’s only because her parents had died early that she was adopted by them.”
“Good lord, hasn’t she gone way overboard then? If she isn’t Liang Huiling’s real daughter, how in the world can she bring herself to spend several hundred thousand RMB on a birthday present?”
The discussions around made Liang Mumu’s complexion turn even more awful.
On the other hand, a satisfied smile crept onto Lin Jiage’s lips.
Didn’t you hypocritically talk about Soft Bun coming from an underprivileged family earlier to embarrass her?

Very well then, I’ll return the favor to you right now. I’ll let everyone know that you aren’t the real daughter of the Liang Family at all…?
You act as if you’re the only one who knows how to play around with words over here…?
Have you never heard of the saying ‘scums will eventually face the retribution of the heavens’?
And I am Soft Bun’s heavens! I’ll take care of all of the scums around her!
However, there was still one thing that Liang Huiling got right, and that was that it was Grandpa Lin’s birthday today, so he should prioritize Grandpa Lin’s happiness over here.
It would do just to make his point known. The atmosphere would only turn awry if he were to go too far over here.
With this thought in mind, Lin Jiage spoke up, “Auntie Sun, isn’t there usually a reciprocal gift to those who have offered grandpa a birthday gift?”
Auntie Sun, who was in charge of handling the presents, immediately replied, “Yes, Young Master.”
“Miss Liang and Miss Shen, you have offered a birthday present to my grandfather, and while there is some unhappiness that transpired afterward, it wouldn’t do for our Lin Family not to offer a reciprocal gift to you…” Lin Jiage said.
He pondered for a moment before speaking up, “Auntie Sun, get the driver to head over to the supermarket and buy a crate of green tea for Miss Liang as a reciprocal gift. As for Miss Shen, I recall that some lotuses have bloomed in our residence’s backyard pond. Get the driver to wrap one of them nicely and send it over to Miss Shen. Remember to have him choose the whitest one so that it compliments Miss Shen well…”
Green tea, lotus… He’s obviously using a roundabout manner to insult them as a Green Tea B*tch and a White Lotus!
Shi Yao couldn’t help but look at Lin Jiage.
Venomous! His tongue is simply too venomous!
There were plenty amongst the guest who understood the deeper meaning behind Lin Jiage’s words, and some of them even couldn’t help themselves and ended up bursting into laughter.
This put Liang Mumu and Shen Bailian even more into a spot.
“Alright, let’s rest the matter here…” Lin Gubei, who hadn’t stopped Lin Jiage all this while, saw that the Lin Family had done enough for now, so he stood forward to close the case. Then, he turned to Liang Mumu and Shen Bailian and told them calmly, “You should return to your seats too.”
“Wait a moment!” Lin Jiayi suddenly spoke out at this moment.
The eyes in the crowd immediately turned toward her.
However, Lin Jiayi remained perfectly calm despite having abruptly put in the limelight. With her eyes still looking intently at both Liang Mumu and Shen Bailian, she said, “You can return to your seats, but before you do so, there’s something that you have to do…”
Halfway through her words, her eyes moved toward Shi Yao, and she continued, “… and that’s to apologize to Yaoyao.”
Liang Mumu and Shen Bailian stood on the spot quietly. They simply couldn’t bring themselves to open their mouths.
The silence continued for around half a minute before Lin Jiayi pressed on impatiently, “Apologize!”
The two of them still showed no signs of opening their mouths yet.
Lin JIayi’s forehead furrowed as she repeated herself again, “Apologize to Yaoyao!”
Liang Mumu pursed her lips tightly, and Shen Bailian turned her head away silently.
Seeing this, Lin Jiayi finally rose to her feet.
Without any warning, she smashed her fist into her chair, and cracks swiftly began spreading all over the chair. With an incredibly menacing tone, she spoke up once more, “I said, apologize!”
