Awkward After the Gossip ￣□￣｜｜

While the discussion here was in full swing, Lin Yuqing suddenly frowned and looked over. Fang Yao stood surrounded by the others, laughing with them.

Lin Yuqing turned to Xie Jiaxi and said she had clashed with Jiajia yesterday, but Fang Yao had just stood by without trying to stop them. Everything she said cast Fang Yao in a bad light.

If Fang Yao apologized, she would be magnanimous and let yesterday's matter go.

But Fang Yao and the others showed no reaction. No matter how loudly Lin Yuqing spoke, they were all lost in thought, absorbed in the gossip.
