This time, it was Wu Mei's turn to be dumbfounded.
She just wanted to apply some medicine, who knew she would have to wear gloves!
The stinging in her palm grew more and more intense, as if Sister Rong was stabbing her with a hundred needles, causing Wu Mei to become frantic with pain.
She stood up abruptly, glaring at Ruan Qi, "You did this on purpose?!"
"Wu Mei!" Xi Jiu spoke sternly, with a tone full of warning.
Wu Mei looked at him incredulously, "Boss, you're taking the side of an outsider?!"
The temperature around Xi Jiu instantly plummeted to zero.
He looked at her expressionlessly, pronouncing each word, "Ruan Qi is not an outsider."
The color drained from Wu Mei's face.
This man had so easily categorized Ruan Qi as one of their own!
And her?
After waiting for four years, she was just an ordinary subordinate!
Wu Mei, overcome with grief and anger, suddenly turned her head, her eyes shooting daggers at Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi frowned slightly, somewhat unhappy.
