At that moment, seeing Ye Tong being so unreasonable, Zheng Cai completely lost her patience. Many events had occurred recently, especially those involving Ye Tong, which were the most troublesome.
Ye Tong stared at Zheng Cai in disbelief, obviously not expecting her to use such a tone.
"Mom~!" she cried, the sound thick with the grievances in her heart.
Zheng Cai, who was already furious, felt her breath hitch upon hearing Ye Tong's cry. But, at the end of the day, Ye Tong was her own daughter.
She tried her best to suppress her anger and said patiently, "I know you feel wronged and that you didn't plagiarize, but you also know we can't let this matter escalate."
"I also know you don't want to be overshadowed by her, but you are aware of her abilities. Now is not the time for you to try to get the better of her."
It was only because Ye Tong was her daughter that Zheng Cai showed such patience in coaxing her. If it had been anyone else, she would have lost her temper long ago!
