Chapter 71: Disbelief

"Ahem ahem..." Mrs. Xiao pretended to cough a couple of times, causing Xiao Manxue to feel so ashamed that she didn't dare raise her head; she had never felt so embarrassed in front of her mother.

Lin Tian's skin was a bit thicker, he pretended not to notice and, in an attempt to divert attention, said, "Mrs. Xiao, Miss, when I was talking with the Bai Family, I overheard something by chance and thought it necessary to mention it to you."

In light of Xiao Manxuan's kindness towards him, he still thought he should remind them. As for the consequences? How they should face them? That was not Lin Tian's concern.

"News? What news, is it about how much the Xiao Family offered you?" Xiao Manxue, having just been embarrassed, now spoke with a bit of spunk in her voice.

A good man does not quarrel with a woman, ignoring you altogether should suffice, right? Whenever something seems off, this woman acts as if she had gunpowder for breakfast.
