Xiqiu could feel her hands shaking—shaking from anger. She finally understood why Madam Le had held her hand and told her to scold Le Yao as if she were her own daughter, why she'd kept wanting to speak yet hesitated and covered things up, and why Ruan Pingrong had been so nervous upon seeing her…
"You… are involved with Minzhi?" Xiqiu was so angry that her own voice sounded strangely distant in her ears, hollow to the point she could barely hear herself.
Le Yao saw Xiqiu's expression clearly and her own face darkened. She asked, "So you also care about family status, you also think Minzhi and I don't match?"
Xiqiu closed her eyes, then suddenly opened them again, looking at Le Yao to confirm once more: "You really are involved with Minzhi?"
