"Song Jiayan, can we borrow your pot?"
This time, Meng Xiaoyi changed her target and spoke directly to Song Jiayan.
Song Jiayan had been enjoying the show when he was suddenly put on the spot.
He froze for a moment.
'This...'
'The pot had nothing to do with him. This was all Sister Wen Ying's work.'
[Meng Xiaoyi is so clever. She knows she'd never be able to borrow it from Doctor Wen or Xu Jiali, so she's asking Song Jiayan.]
[Song Jiayan is a bit of a pushover. If she asks him, he'll definitely be too embarrassed to refuse. And Doctor Wen and the others won't let him lose face, seeing as he's in their group, right?]
[This Meng Xiaoyi has no real smarts, just a whole lot of petty schemes.]
[Xie Fu Yao is pretty much the same, isn't he? He's tacitly approving Meng Xiaoyi's actions.]
[If you ask me, they're being really dumb, taking the long way around! Zhao Qi is on good terms with Doctor Wen's group. If they had Zhao Qi ask, Doctor Wen would definitely lend it to them!]
