She sighs, lowering her head . Some things need to be said clearly in order for things to get better .
But still, will Si Zheng Ting bother to listen to her explanation? Will he believe her if she tells him that his mother hired someone to run over her mother and that was why she took the money on the first place?
She purses her lips, a little dejected . She turns around; perhaps they should talk tomorrow .

She clears her throat, “Uh, this… . . Are you going out, Si Zheng Ting?”
