CHAPTER 1057: CHAPTER 10: MO YUYAN ARC 3 (PART 6)

Under the guidance of the waiter, Mi Ai walked into the private room and immediately saw Bai Juxia chatting happily with Jian Shiman.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Bai Juxia and Jian Shiman turned their heads, and Bai Juxia showed an excited smile, waving for Mi Ai to come over quickly.

When Jian Shiman saw Mi Ai, her expression stiffened and darkened.

At the moment Mi Ai saw Jian Shiman, her expression also looked unpleasant. She had guessed that Jian Shiman would be coming too, and originally wanted to excuse herself, but Bai Juxia insisted she come, and she couldn’t refuse.

Bai Juxia noticed that Mi Ai was standing still, so she got up from her seat, walked up, and pulled Mi Ai to sit down. "Why are you so late? Mi Ai, we haven’t seen each other for a while, why do you look like you’ve lost so much weight?"

"By the way, how are things with Lee Zhichun?"

Bai Juxia’s words caused Mi Ai’s expression to freeze. Sensing something was wrong with Mi Ai, Bai Juxia carefully observed her, noticing that she hadn’t exchanged a single word with Jian Shiman since arriving, and Jian Shiman was fiddling with her phone with her head down—something that had never happened before.

All three of them had come out of the orphanage and shared a very good relationship. Even after entering society, they would often gather together and talk about their own matters. But now, Mi Ai and Jian Shiman seemed like strangers, utterly silent towards one another.

"What’s wrong with you two?"

In puzzlement, Bai Juxia asked aloud. Mi Ai stood up, "Juxia, let’s get together another day. I’m feeling a bit unwell, so I’m heading back."

Bai Juxia grabbed Mi Ai, staring at Jian Shiman, "What happened?"

Both Mi Ai and Jian Shiman remained silent, causing Bai Juxia’s face to fall, "What exactly happened between you two?"

Mi Ai raised her head to look at Bai Juxia, "Juxia, Shiman and I are no longer friends."

Bai Juxia was shocked, "Mi Ai, what happened between you two?"

How could things become so grave between good friends who were originally on excellent terms, almost like enemies now, just after she returned from a business trip?

What exactly happened while she was away? For someone as gentle as Mi Ai to say such a thing, Shiman must have done something to betray her.

Bai Juxia suddenly thought of Lee Zhichun. She had noticed long ago that Jian Shiman seemed to have some feelings for Lee Zhichun. Could it be that Jian Shiman had taken Lee Zhichun away?

With that thought, Bai Juxia’s expression changed slightly.

Bai Juxia fixed her gaze on Jian Shiman, who remained silent by her side, "Shiman, tell me, what exactly happened? Does it have to do with Lee Zhichun?"

Mi Ai raised her head in shock, and Bai Juxia knew she had guessed correctly.

Bai Juxia tightened her grip on Mi Ai’s hand, asking quietly, "Mi Ai, tell me, did Lee Zhichun do something to betray you?"

Mi Ai’s eyes reddened, "Juxia, please don’t ask."

"Was it Shiman who took Lee Zhichun away?"

The three of them had grown up together. Being two or three years older than the others, Bai Juxia knew both of their personalities well. Mi Ai had a gentle temperament, while Jian Shiman was somewhat assertive and even competitive.

Now with Mi Ai being so resistant to Jian Shiman, there can only be one reason: Jian Shiman was involved with Lee Zhichun, and they were together behind Mi Ai’s back, which Mi Ai discovered.

"Bai Juxia! What do you mean by saying I took Lee Zhichun away? Lee Zhichun was never truly in love with Mi Ai; he has feelings for me. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be with me."

Jian Shiman, who had been silent, stood up with a cold voice, "If Mi Ai can’t hold onto Lee Zhichun, it’s her own fault."

For always, Bai Juxia had a better relationship with Mi Ai than with her. Jian Shiman knew that if Bai Juxia knew she took Mi Ai’s boyfriend, she would definitely stand up for Mi Ai.

Bai Juxia released Mi Ai’s hand, stood beside Jian Shiman with a cold expression, reached out her hand, and gave Jian Shiman a hard slap, "Jian Shiman, you’ve gone too far."

Jian Shiman covered her face, looking coldly at Bai Juxia, "Bai Juxia, what right do you have to hit me?"

"Slap!"

The loud sound of the slap filled the air, Mi Ai stood in front of Jian Shiman, "If you wanted to be with Lee Zhichun, you could’ve told me, and I would’ve stepped aside because you are my friend."

"But the least you should’ve done is to send me those disgusting photos and falsely accuse me of stabbing you, and still act so deceitfully."

"Jian Shiman, you are disgusting."

Mi Ai tilted her head up, her expression gloomy and cold.

Jian Shiman laughed aloud, "Mi Ai, stop pretending to be the good guy."

Bai Juxia slapped Jian Shiman again, "Jian Shiman, I should’ve realized sooner what kind of person you are. You’ve truly disappointed us all, and from now on, Bai Juxia has no friend like you."

"Do you think I wanted to be friends with you? I’ve been sick of you for a long time."

Jian Shiman picked up her bag, preparing to leave.

Bai Juxia grabbed Jian Shiman’s hair, making her meticulously arranged hair a mess, even pulling out a lot of it.

"Jian Shiman, you’re despicable, taking your friend’s boyfriend. You’re disgusting."

Bai Juxia yelled, engaging in a scuffle with Jian Shiman.

Jian Shiman screamed, "Bai Juxia, do you think you’re so great? Aren’t you just sleeping with a rich man, being his mistress?"

"You’re talking nonsense."

Bai Juxia threw Jian Shiman off, and Jian Shiman fell to the ground without any dignity, her makeup smeared, looking utterly disheveled.

Mi Ai took hold of Bai Juxia, "Juxia, let it go, don’t argue with someone like that, it’s not worth getting hurt."

Mi Ai’s gaze was icy as she looked at Jian Shiman, "Jian Shiman, one day you will face consequences."

Mi Ai pulled Bai Juxia towards the exit; there was already quite a crowd forming at the doorway, whispering about the three of them.

Mi Ai parted the crowd, pulling Bai Juxia away, while Jian Shiman got up from the ground, covering her face as she left.

In the park, Mi Ai used some bought antiseptic to clean Bai Juxia’s wound, "Thank you, Juxia."

Bai Juxia smiled, but it pulled at the wound on her lip.

"There’s no need to thank me; we’re best friends."

Moved, Mi Ai nodded and hugged Bai Juxia, who patted her shoulder, "Come on, let’s get a drink today, big sister treats, let’s get drunk and forget all the things we need to forget."

Mi Ai responded with a sound; she indeed had the urge to get thoroughly drunk.
