Chapter 43 Misunderstanding Arises_1

At the first hint of crisis, Xia Yao sought help from the man next to her. She didn't hold out much hope, and yet, unexpectedly, the young master of the Zhou family intervened.

He didn't say much, simply rising from his chair to stand beside Xia Yao.

This act appeared to everyone else as him standing up for Xia Ying.

Everyone present was shocked.

Some began to recall old rumors.

"Could the gossips from years ago be true?

"Not sure, but rumor had it that two years ago, after an unexpected incident, Xia Yao was already married into the Zhou family."

"Really? Is Xia Ying the one young master Zhou truly loves?"

...

The only one probably not surprised was Ye Nanxun.

She had heard of it firsthand.
