Shi Lingyan smiled and took another step closer, "Confess, the true identity hidden behind that mask of yours."
"Is that so," Shi Mei said, her surprise evident, followed by anger as she exclaimed, "How could she do this, no, impossible, Sister Ye couldn't possibly betray me!"

Shi Lingyan remained composed, his voice softening as he said from the side, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I promised to invest in a branch store for her, so naturally, I sold you out."
"No, it can't be…" Shi Mei's face was a mask of disappointment as she collapsed heavily onto the couch, as if she'd been dealt a massive blow, "Sister Ye couldn't possibly be so unscrupulous; you must be lying to me."
For once, Shi Lingyan's usually calm and collected expression showed a trace of change.
