"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!"
