The Abandoned Mother and Daughter? (1)
"What do you mean, 10,000 HLD just for bail? We don't have that kind of money!" Li Liying's voice rang out, her frustration evident as she engaged in a heated argument with the police officer over the exorbitant amount.

While the verbal duel raged on, Fan Hong's eyes shamelessly ogled Li Liying, his gaze shamelessly traversing her silhouette.
