Rumors

He'd thought he could shield Xinghe by maintaining his rather neutral stance, but in the end, he was in the same boat as her. Just how slow am I?

To prevent accidents from happening, the best solution is to chase you and me away."

"That's why Lin Qian has been spreading rumors that you're Mr. Nan Gua, thus applying pressure to us…" Lu Qi finally caught up to the situation.

"That's right." Xinghe's eyes shone. "But that is fine, no matter what kind of tricks they pull, it will not work."

"You've come up with a solution?"

"There's no need for one." Xinghe smiled. "After all, a straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe."
