For the show, these comments and responses couldn’t be better. The show will only get more interesting with these conflicts and confrontations.
As opposed to Yun Liu’s anxious distress, Shi Xiu was in a much better mood. She was busy taking care of her little animal friends early in the morning.
Yun Liu was dressed neatly and elegantly as she inattentively wiped the tables and set the chairs. She has to portray herself as a hardworking and capable person. She can’t lose to Shi Xiu! However, she truly didn’t know how to—or want to—do the things that Shi Xiu did.
Mai Fen noticed Yun Liu’s behavior and couldn’t help but sigh. ‘This young lady is still a little lacking. She won’t go far ifshe continues like this.’
She wanted to help Yun Liu out of kindness, so she walked to Yun Liu’s table and sat down. Yun Liu greeted her obediently, “Good morning, Ms. Mai.”
Mai Fen greeted her with a smile. Yun Liu returned her smile while she swept the rag in her hand across the table and ended up sweeping the vase on the table to the ground.
“Oh, no! ” Yun Liu exclaimed. Mai Fen quickly bent down and picked up the vase. It was Shi Xiu’s first carving—the wooden vase she’d carved not long ago.
“What should I do? What should I do? Ms. Mai, please back me up! I didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn’t do it on purpose!” Yun Liu was so anxious she couldn’t stand still.
Mai Fen carefully examined the vase and said, “Fortunately, it’s made of wood. It’s fine; Shi Xiu can fix it. If she can’t, we’ll let Mr. Ji will fix it.”
Yun Liu immediately started to cry. “It was an accident. I really didn’t do it on purpose. I know how this looks; nobody will believe me if I say this was an accident. There are already fans online who say that I bullied and targeted Shi Xiu, and now, after this incident, people will only believe that even more. Ms.
Mai, you have to help me tell them; I really didn’t do it on purpose!”
Mai Fen frowned. Yun Liu instantly began to sob quietly and tightly gripped the rag she held in her hands. She was seemingly so scared that she didn’t dare say a word—she was the very picture of a bullied child.
At that moment, Shi Xiu came bouncing in her overalls, saying, “Good morning, Ms. Mai, Yun Liu! Hey, why are you crying?”
Shi Xiu looked at Mai Fen and asked, “Ms. Mai, are you giving Yun Liu acting lessons? Ooh, me too! I want to learn too!”
Shi Xiu appeared to be jubilant at the thought, and when she turned around and saw Yan Tang and Ji Fei walking over, she quickly called out to them, “Hurry up and come to class!” Mai Fen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her antics.
Seeing that Yun Liu was still crying, Shi Xiu lowered her voice and inquired, “Are we learning how to cry on demand today? Ms. Mai, I’m especially bad at crying scenes. I really do need a lesson in that.”
Yan Tang and Ji Fei came in, followed by Hai Hua. Mai Fen didn’t answer Shi Xiu’s question. Instead, she composed herself, turned to Yun Liu, and said, “Since you didn’t do it on purpose, why don’t you just apologize? The misunderstanding will only grow if you keep crying like this.” Mai Fen’s voice was cool and detached, without any of its usual friendliness.
Everyone was stunned and looked at Yun Liu. Yun Liu secretly gritted her teeth, but when she raised her head, she had a panicked look on her face. “Shi Xiu, I-I’m sorry. I-I accidentally knocked your vase off the table. I-I might have… might have chipped it… I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Everyone’s eyes fell on the vase in Mai Fen’s hands.
Shi Xiu took the vase, looked it over, and smilingly reassured Yun Liu, “It’s okay. It’s not like it’s something expensive. If I can’t fix it, I’ll just carve another one. I’ll treat it as practice. Isn’t that right, Master?”
She handed the vase to Ji Fei, who took it and inspected the vase’s chipped lip. He chuckled and teased Mai Fen, “Don’t tell me you scolded the child for such a small matter?”
Mai Fen gave Yun Liu a meaningful look. Yun Liu lowered her eyes and subtly retreated, secretly trying to think of a countermeasure.
Yan Tang smiled. “Mai Fen obviously wouldn’t blame Yun Liu for such a small matter. She knows it’s not a big deal. Besides, Shi Xiu isn’t someone who would fuss over such things. However, we don’t know what happened and only saw Yun Liu crying, so it wasn’t surprising that we would blame Mai Fen. Mai Fen, were you trying to console Yun Liu?”
Mai Fen smiled back at Yan Tang. With her experience and qualifications, she didn’t need to explain herself. However, this little scheme had crossed her line.
She looked at Yun Liu pointedly and said lightly, ‘Yun Liu, how do you know the fans are saying that you’re bullying Shi Xiu?”
Yun Liu abruptly raised her head, glanced at Mai Fen, and swiftly lowered her head. Her palms were sweating.
Yan Tang raised her voice and questioned, “The fans said that? Yun Liu, How do you know what the fans are saying?
Hai Hua had already found herself a seat and sat down.. When she heard this, she asked, “Yun Liu… You have another phone, don’t you?”
