Chapter 404 - 24 The Lingering Evil Spirit
Upon hearing Ye Xinhuan’s words, the countenances of the three men around Gu Xiaoxi changed.
However, Gu Xiaoxi, utterly unconcerned, raised her head with an icy gaze fixed on Ye Xinhuan and curled her lips into a cold chuckle, "I said, I’m talking to a dog; don’t take it personally."
With that, she pointed to a little black-haired dog beneath the table.
Don’t think she didn’t know that these two women had been hiding behind the curtains all along, sneaking peeks at her.
She didn’t sense anyone downstairs earlier, but after she went upstairs, she noticed the two sneaky women.
Everyone followed Gu Xiaoxi’s gaze and, indeed, saw a dog under the table.
Ji Hao looked at Ye Xinhuan, utterly bewildered, "Miss Ye, it’s not right to burst out and verbally attack someone. Just now, Miss Gu wasn’t talking to you!"
"I..." Ye Xinhuan was infuriated yet dared not express it, but she was sure that Gu Xiaoxi had just been insulting her. Looking at Ji Hao, she quickly adopted an apologetic and sad tone, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to. I thought she was scolding me."
Ji Hao looked from Gu Xiaoxi to Ai Xiang, unsure of what to say.
Ai Xiang, however, holding her wine glass, chuckled disdainfully, "The upbringing of our Ai family isn’t up for others to critique. My sister is just direct by nature, and I may not have any strengths, but I do stand up for my family. Miss Ye, you came up here and verbally attacked my sister, and you don’t even have the decency to apologize?"
