From then on, there were no longer any dealings with Qiongzhi.
"I didn't expect Xue Zhao to have mentioned me to you," Qiongzhi laughed. "After all, I am a woman of the brothel, and he, being so upright and stern, is not afraid of tarnishing his good name. However, his discussion of these matters with you suggests a close relationship with you."
The probing tone of her words implied she thought Jiang Li and Xue Zhao shared an unusual relationship. Jiang Li smiled, "I'm friends with Xue Zhao's sister. In fact, it wasn't Xue Zhao who told me these things; it was his sister."
The implication was clear: she had a pure relationship with Xue Zhao, her friendship was only with Xue Fangfei.
With that, Qiongzhi's gaze softened considerably. She smiled and said, "I see."
"I also came here to test my luck, thinking that perhaps you were no longer at the Cherish Flower Tower. To my surprise, you still are here," Jiang Li said.
