Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 206 - 207: Even If Foolish, She’s Still Mrs. Shi
Chapter 206: Chapter 207: Even If Foolish, She’s Still Mrs. Shi
"Impossible," Yuejie declared resolutely.
"Yep, impossible," Shi Mei agreed, nodding furiously. "You wicked woman, don’t frame Sister Bai!"
Shi Yuanyuan saw how cooperative she was and thought to herself with a sneer that indeed fools were fools; she went along and said, "Right, it can’t be fake, so it must be that the quality wasn’t up to par—taking those already flawed defective goods to pass off as good."
Shi Mei appeared not to understand and looked at Yuejie as if seeking help.
Yuejie’s face, already slightly pale, grew even more embarrassed. "How could it be? Since it was a gift for Grandma Shi, I certainly chose only the best, but the item has always been with Shi Mei..."
While speaking, her brows furrowed, and she looked at Shi Yuanyuan but said no more.
Soon someone suggested, "Could it be... that someone switched it?"
"Possibly, after all, Shi Mei is naive and wouldn’t notice if it was switched."
"It couldn’t be, who could do such a terrible thing!"
Shi Yuanyuan was furious!
They were all looking at her while talking; did they think she was blind?
But soon, Shi Yuanyuan calmed down and said, "Of course, it’s not impossible, but Shi Mei, do you think it could have been switched?"
Hearing this, Shi Mei shook her head and said, "Impossible, because Shi Mei kept it with her, inside the little bunny’s belly!"
Her voice was innocent and childlike. She lifted the pink bunny on her body as if showing off, proudly saying, "Shi Mei protected it very well, it’s a birthday gift for Grandma, no one else could touch it."
"That’s strange," Shi Yuanyuan looked at Yuejie, "Shi Mei wouldn’t lie."
"Yes, yes, Shi Mei didn’t lie, everything Shi Mei said is true!"
"Then how could it have gotten damaged?"
Shi Mei, looking aggrieved, turned to Yuejie for help, "Sister Bai..."
"As Mr. Shi’s wife, Shi Mei’s position is indeed a bit sensitive; it wouldn’t be surprising if someone wanted to embarrass her by substituting inferior goods."
Yuejie looked at Shi Yuanyuan, her brow furrowing. "Are you suspecting me?"
"Isn’t it normal to suspect you?" Shi Yuanyuan looked back with undisguised contempt, "You’ve liked Mr. Shi for more than just a day or two. Everyone here knows that, and yet, you make everything seem so perfect, making Shi Mei look utterly incompetent. Your intentions are quite distressing!"
"You are talking nonsense! What I prepared for Shi Mei was flawless. It might have been either dropped by Shi Mei herself or switched by someone else. Otherwise, it couldn’t be..."
"Shi Mei didn’t," Shi Mei pouted sadly, "I protected it well!"
Seizing the moment, Shi Yuanyuan continued, "According to what you said, then there must only be the possibility of it being switched. Who would switch it, though? It couldn’t possibly be Shi Mei herself, could it?"
Ye Tiao, who knew everything and stood aside, didn’t dare to make a sound, looking around nervously.
Fortunately, no one noticed her.
"It’s possible then."
"But why go through the bother? Shi Mei is already naïve; what obstacles could she present?"
"Silly as she may be, she is still Mrs. Shi..."
Yuejie seemed visibly upset as she turned to Grandma Shi, "Grandma Shi, I..."
"Basically, there are only two possibilities. Either it was fake all along and broke at a touch—a so-called BC good. Or you deliberately gave Shi Mei a broken item, wanting Shi Mei to face public scorn, to highlight your own greatness and sensibility."
After saying this, Shi Yuanyuan realized she might have involuntarily dragged Shi Mei through the mud.
Why was it that everyone could be a suspect yet Shi Mei was the most innocent?
Looking at the foolish Shi Mei, Shi Yuanyuan suddenly felt a twinge of guilt but continued:
"If Shi Mei hadn’t said this was prepared by you, it would be like Shi Mei cursing the elderly, wouldn’t it? You’re truly malicious!"
