Chapter 235: Shameless B*tch (4) Lu Manman was actually very calm as she repeated herself. “I won’t take up too much of your time.” “If you want to talk, go ahead.” Jiang Yuyan looked kind. “Since Xiao Li is having lunch, we can avoid meeting her.” She sounded magnanimous and gentle, but every word was criticizing her for being insensible, and urging her to leave the Mo family’s main household. It was not that she could not tell, but she did not want to listen anymore. She slowly said, “Mom, I had nothing to do with Daisy’s death.” Jiang Yuyan did not seem to have expected Lu Manman to bring this up. How much clearer could she have made it out to be on the phone? Whether it was her relationship or not, she had already let it go. Everyone in their family could pretend that nothing had happened. There were many things that did not need to be said so clearly for the sake of their family’s harmony. Why did Lu Manman have to harp on it! Actually, everyone knew that Lu Manman was the only suspect in killing Daisy. Meanwhile, the Mo family had chosen to forgive her and not harp on it. What was she trying to do? What did she want them to do?! “Manman, this is in the past, and we believe that it has nothing to do with you,” Jiang Yuyan said gently. “But it’s a crucial period, so don’t harp on it. Your sister needs to rest and recuperate, and your dad and I are really tired. Every time your sister has a relapse, the two of us will age by two years. Manman, Mom knows that you’re a sensible child, so let’s not talk about Daisy anymore. This is a sad thing, so just skip it and think about it in the future.” Lu Manman did not interrupt Jiang Yuyan, nor did she interrupt her magnanimous speech. Every word she said was clear that she had something to do with Daisy, and the Mo family was forgiving her, so she should know her limits. “Mom, I know you want to resolve the issue peacefully and that I should let bygones be bygones. But what you’re doing isn’t fair to the innocent. Because no matter what, I’m already suspected by everyone. You don’t care about the final outcome and only want to see Mo Li get better. But have you thought about my perspective? Having been framed, I’ve been tolerating your generosity, but to me, it’s just consuming our relationship.” Lu Manman said very seriously. Why did she have to accept the magnanimity and charity of the Mo family? She had never done anything like that, so she did not need to face their kindness. They were just using their morals to kidnap her, and they probably felt that they had done her a huge favor. The impatience on Jiang Yuyan’s face grew increasingly evident, but she did not want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Reluctantly, she said, “In that case, make it short.” “Thank you, Mom.” Lu Manman nodded and smiled. Jiang Yuyan and Mo Kun were unhappy, and they had a bad impression of Lu Manman for not appreciating their kindness. There was already some distance between them regarding Daisy, but since she was Ah Xiu’s wife, they did not want to harp on it and would not mention it in the future. As long as Lu Manman realized her mistake. Their family had always been different from the other four families. She wondered if it had started with Mo Li. Due to her illness, their family had long gotten used to it, and they had lost many of their sharp edges. “Daisy died yesterday and was picked up by Xiao Juan in the brook this morning,” Lu Manman said. “I came back today to take a look at the surveillance cameras, but I couldn’t tell if Daisy went to the brook last night and suddenly lost her footing there. I actually don’t know much about Daisy, and I don’t know its life trajectory and temper habits. I just followed my usual reasoning and felt that Daisy wouldn’t have fallen and drowned after playing by the brook. Because to a dog, even if it doesn’t know how to swim, it would still move a few times in the water and would instinctively scream. Although it’s small, its sound should still be heard by others, especially in the servants’ room closer to the brook, but it’s evident that no one heard Daisy’s voice last night.”
