Chapter 234: Fried Eggs (2)
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Milkbiscuit
“Who are you guys?! What are you all trying to do?!”
Her voice was closer towards being androgynous.
While shouting in astonishment, she turned to s.h.i.+ Yao standing by the side and asked, “Yaoyao, what’s going on?”
“It’s fine, it’s fine…” s.h.i.+ Yao quickly calmed the young lady down before fetching her clothes and throwing them onto the bed. Then, she raised her head and stared silently at the frozen Liang Mumu. In this moment, Liang Mumu’s eyes were completely fixated on the young lady on the bed, who was desperately trying to cover her ‘fried eggs’.
There was a brief moment of silence before s.h.i.+ Yao finally spoke up. Her tone was very light, no different from her usual relaxed self, “I was eating earlier, so I didn’t manage to tell you all in time. Actually, the one sleeping in the bedsheet is my roommate, a woman. She wasn’t wearing any clothes, so…”
Right after saying those words, s.h.i.+ Yao could clearly see Liang Mumu blinking her eyes furiously, and after she seemed to confirm that the person before her was really a woman, the expression on her face swiftly turned from one of disbelief into one of confusion.
When Liang Mumu’s gaze finally met s.h.i.+ Yao’s, a cold glint flickered swiftly across s.h.i.+ Yao’s usually gentle eyes.
However, it took only an instant for a smile to surface on s.h.i.+ Yao’s lips, and she turned to look at Jiang w.a.n.gui and Lin Jiayi with a pair of clear and bright eyes, “Auntie Lin, Sis Jiayi, this is my roommate, Jiang Yue.”
After which, she turned to Jiang Yue and said, “Yueyue, this is Auntie Lin and Sis Jiayi.”
Jiang Yue hurriedly nodded and greeted the pair, “Pleased to meet you, Auntie Lin. Pleased to meet you, Sis Jiayi.”
Jiang w.a.n.gui replied with a polite smile, “Pleased to meet you too.”
In contrast to her mother’s politeness, Lin Jiayi had a warmer smile, “Yaoyao’s roommate, pleased to meet you. Feel free to drop by our house along with Yaoyao whenever you’re free!”
Jiang Yue had a forthright personality. Upon hearing Lin Jiayi’s invitation, her smile visibly brightened, “Thank you, Sis Jiayi.”
After seeing that Jiang Yue had greeted both Jiang w.a.n.gui and Lin Jiayi, s.h.i.+ Yao interjected at this appropriate timing, “Yueyue, you sure can sleep! We’ve been in the bedroom for some time now, but you still didn’t wake up.”
Jiang Yue scratched her head awkwardly as she flashed a smile in embarra.s.sment, “About that, I tend to sleep like a dead pig.”
“Pft—” Lin Jiayi was humored by Jiang Yue’s metaphor.
Even the stern Jiang w.a.n.gui curled up her lips as well.
“Who in the world describes herself like that?” s.h.i.+ Yao chuckled at Jiang Yue. After which, she turned to the others and suggested, “Should we sit at the living room first so that Yueyue can wash up?”
“Right right right…” Lin Jiayi replied as she held Jiang w.a.n.gui’s elbow and left the bedroom.
Right after the two of them left the room, s.h.i.+ Yao finally turned her gaze to Liang Mumu once more.
She didn’t speak a single word, choosing to stare quietly into Liang Mumu’s swiftly changing expression instead. Then, she left behind a “Let’s go out” before walking out of the bedroom first.
When s.h.i.+ Yao took a seat beside Lin Jiayi, Liang Mumu hesitantly made her way out of the bedroom as well.
Her appearance caused the atmosphere in the living room to abruptly turn heavy.
Jiang w.a.n.gui was a formidable figure in the business field. In the instant that Liang Mumu pried open the bedsheet and revealed a woman beneath it, she could already roughly understand the full story.
And while Lin Jiayi wasn’t as sharp as her mother, she was still someone who had seen and weathered through plenty of things herself. To her, Liang Mumu’s little ploys were no different from playing house. It was really as much of a child’s play as it could get.
But even though Jiang w.a.n.gui and Lin Jiayi were already fully aware of the situation, neither of them were in a rush to speak.
