Afraid of expressing herself inappropriately and affecting the couple's relationship, Su Mei didn't mention Tang Li's complaints about her marriage. She only said that Tang Li had consulted her about the cooling-off period for divorce, "It seems to be for a friend's matter."
If it were for a friend, Su Mei wouldn't have made this call.
Song Baiyan naturally understood Su Mei's underlying meaning.
However, both sides refrained from exposing it.
Song Baiyan asked, "Is it at the café near IMG?"
"Yes." Su Mei gave the café's full name: "I'm in the restroom. Once I go out and sit for a while, it'll be time for work."
Implying that she was not trying to stir up trouble.
Song Baiyan didn't pressure her, only telling her not to hang up when she went out.
Su Mei quickly understood Song Baiyan's intention—
To keep the call connected so that there's no need for her to relay Tang Li's words.
Su Mei was happy to do so.
This spared her from being the villain.
