"Wait—"
Xiao Jiayi grew frantic. She had just started to speak when she quickly lowered her voice.
"Y-You're just leaving like that? Th-Then what about your promise to help me...?"
"It can't be rushed."
Ye Chutang smiled.
"If they were that easy to deal with, you wouldn't have taken such a huge fall, now would you?"
Xiao Jiayi was left speechless.
She knew Ye Chutang was right. Toppling those people was not something that could be done overnight.
Even though she was consumed by hatred, she had no choice but to endure it for now and wait for her day!
"Fine. Then I'll keep waiting. I'll wait until the day they pay the price for what they've done!"
Xiao Jiayi bit her lip so hard she nearly drew blood. It took all her strength to suppress her turmoil as she stared intently into a dark corner of the room.
"I hope... you won't disappoint me..."
There was no reply from the other side.
A light breeze blew past, rattling the window.
