A heavy silence settled over the living room.
No one spoke.
No one even dared to move too much.
Xu Jin sat obediently in the middle of the table like a prisoner awaiting his verdict, while the four women silently stared at him from every direction. The pressure alone was enough to make him sit straighter.
Meanwhile, Ari slowly leaned toward Rina until only a tiny gap remained between them.
She covered one side of her mouth with her hand and whispered nervously,
"Rina..."
"What if Jin ge really figured out what we're doing?"
"He won't dare do anything to the grandmas..."
Her eyes shifted toward herself and then Rina.
"...But what about us?"
"We're the easiest targets."
"Think of something!"
"We need an excuse!"
Rina swallowed.
"I know!"
Ari whined "it was your fault!! You scattered the papers and didn't snatch it timely from jin ge!!"
