However, after Xu Xuan had finished speaking, the man still wasn’t fazed. Instead, his gaze landed on Yao Tang.
“They’re just your classmates, huh?”
The man’s gaze was as cool as winter, and his tone became much more flippant. It’s as if he knew that they were planning something.
“They really are just my ordinary classmates,” she insisted. “They knew that Grandma’s health wasn’t good, so they came by to visit. I told them that it was inconvenient, but they came anyway. I’ll ask them to leave—”
“In fact, they’re already leaving. We’ve already talked.”
Xu Xuan could feel her palms sweating as her knees quaked.
“You’re telling the truth?”
The man looked at them from side to side.
Just then, a thought occurred to him. “They’re Yao Tang and Qin Jing, right?” He raised his eyebrow. “You don’t have to hide their identity from me.”
Xu Xuan gritted her teeth. “Look, they’re not at fault here. Why are you even keeping them here? If It’s because—”
“Hey, my cousin has finally arrived! And Qin Jing’s here too. Why don’t you come inside?”
Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted them.
“You must be so happy to see me like this, right? What were you going to say again, Xu Xuan? You were referring to me, right?”
Before they could say anything, a young woman limped down the stairs.
It was Yao Ran.
She didn’t look quite well. Her eyes were fiery and her hands were clenched. She looked different from the supposed “angel” everyone perceived her as.
The man immediately lowered her head.
“There’s no need for you to come here,” he said quickly. “I already have everything figured out. It’s my fault for calling your attention like this.”
“If I didn’t come down, how would I know that they’re here? Besides, I should’ve expected this from someone like her.” She shot Xu Xuan a look.
As soon as the man heard this, he shot a glare at Xu Xuan. “I’ll teach her a lesson,” he snapped. “If she continues being a traitor, I’ll make sure to educate her well enough.”
Yao Ran smiled.
“Do you hear that, Xuanxuan?” she said softly. “You were born in the Xu Family. Shouldn’t you know what to do?”
A few days ago, she had just been recuperating in the ward when a man came looking for her.
The man had been respectfully calling her miss, saying that he’d always protect and follow her.
If she was being honest, Yao Ran didn’t know why this was so either.
The man never really mentioned it. No matter how many times she’d asked him, the man wouldn’t tell her the truth. Instead, he simply asked her to wait.
At first, she assumed that he was simply a liar. To prove it, she asked the man to take out five million and transfer the amount to her card.
How was she supposed to know that he’d do it without any hesitation?
She thought that the man was playing with her.
However, after checking and probing the man, she knew that this man had a close relationship with the Xu Family. That meant that she had some sort of power over him.
This man was there to help her.
Therefore, as she faced Yao Tang, she couldn’t help but feel a little more confident. She tilted her head upward as she regarded them with a cool smile.
It seemed that Xu Xuan wasn’t as loyal as she had initially liked.
After listening to her words, Qin Jing scoffed. “How wonderful,” she drawled. “You really love to play the victim, don’t you?”
She then added, “Not only are you faking a limp, but you look even more shameless.”
Yao Ran’s face darkened. “You—”
She took one look at Qin Jing before rolling her eyes. “Uncle Tian, teach them a lesson for me!”
