Sweet Girl's eyes reddened, but she skillfully posed a question in return.
"Aunt Chen, you say you aren't after our house and that you didn't slander me. But my grades are clearly very good, so why would you say I'm a bad student?"
Chen Shulan's eyes widened. "Nonsense! Tie Dan is in the same class as you. He comes home and tells me everything. He said your grades are terrible and the teacher is always scolding you. And you still have the nerve to lie to us."
Sweet Girl used to be very afraid of Chen Shulan, but now, she just found the woman not scary at all—just stupid.
'With that one sentence, she just sold out her own son. She would have been better off saying she'd heard it from someone else.'
