CHAPTER 293
"It is okay." Li Jing knew that he meant no harm by asking and so she did not want him beating himself up
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I am sure. No need to apologize. You were only being concerned." She cleared her throat and turned her head to the sider where he was.
"Oh… I did not mean to pock nose but I heard what had happened to her. Well technically everyone knows."
"I know. I expect such considering grandfather just got a new granddaughter from nowhere. Of course given his caliber and wealth, people's eyes would be on me and my info would be all over the place."
"You really are pretty sharp, Miss Li Jing."
"Thank you, but I do not also like beating around the bush. It is not that I am oblivious to all the things going on or words being said but given all I went through in the past year, I think it prepared me more for this time."
