Chapter 11
I made a call to my former roommate.
Back in our dorm days, she and Wanru were the closest of friends, second only to my own relationship with them.
Once the call connected, I started with a patient silence. Then, I lowered my voice, adopting a tone that suggested I already knew everything. “I know what Wanru did. Why would you guys treat me like this? You know what she did at the wedding, don’t you?”
On the other end of the line, her breathing hitched.
“You… you found out…”
As I expected, she cracked. I pressed her further. “Yeah. Why else would I be calling you?”
My roommate completely panicked. “No, Shanshan, listen to me, let me explain! I wasn’t involved! I already tried to talk Wanru out of it. I told her you two were getting married and there was nothing she could do, no matter how bitter she felt. I wasn’t the one who swapped the items in your brocade pouch!”
My mind suddenly exploded.
My blood ran cold, and a bone-chilling frost seeped into every inch of my body.
“What did you say?” I asked, my voice trembling. “The brocade pouch… was swapped?”
