Chapter 441: It was me? How come I didn’t know?
She couldn’t help recalling what had happened at Luna’s engagement banquet. She had thought that Li Yuming was so heartless as to want to embarrass her own daughter on such an important day but now that she thought it through carefully, what if the situation wasn’t as it appeared?
What if the real culprit had been Xia Hanchen, and he maliciously framed Li Yuming to further alienate her from Luna, and make Lanni disappointed in her at the same time?
She was going crazy just thinking about it. To what lengths had this man gone? What an idiot had she been to never have realized a thing?
She snapped out of her thoughts to realize that he looked distressed. If this was in the past, she would have been worried about him. Although she didn’t want to know what was going on in his mind, it would be suspicious if she didn’t show her concern so she gently asked, "are you alright?"
The man smiled and tried to hide his feelings—or pretended to try and hide hid feelings. "It’s alright. Just a little stressed."
She went along with the act. "What happened?"
"I heard Ji Feifei is out of prison." He sighed like he was at a loss.
"Yeah." She responded, inwardly mocking him. He talked to her recently and was now pretending that he didn’t know and merely heard a rumor?
She observed him carefully as he swallowed a gulp and looked like he was even more disheartened after hearing the news. In the end, he spoke up again.
"Could you have Xiehan take her back? I’m sure he can do that."
Her eyebrows raised. What a schemer. He had been using Ji Feifei and since the latter was getting out of control, he was trying to use his own daughter to help him get rid of her?
