Shen Ningning looked confused.
"But I'm not trying to shut you out!"
"If you weren't, then why didn't you trust me to return the supplies yesterday? And just now, why wouldn't you let me help?" Jiang Zhi was blunt and couldn't hide what was on her mind.
Her eyes held a wounded look as she continued, "Are you afraid I'll steal something? Did Chen Shaobei say something to you?"
The more Jiang Zhi thought about it, the more convinced she became that Chen Shaobei had spoken ill of her.
There was no one else around, except for Chen Ye, who stood a short distance away, keeping an eye on them.
So Jiang Zhi didn't hide it. She lowered her head, her gaze dimming. "Chen Shaobei guessed my connection to Jiang Xiaofeng. He must have told you."
"I might as well tell you the truth. Jiang Xiaofeng is my father, but he was a good man who robbed the rich to help the poor. Even as his daughter, I would never steal. Ningning, you..."
