Chapter 306: The Tables Have Turned 1
"It was Xia Ningxing!" Jiang Rou suddenly raised her bloodshot eyes, staring at Xia Ningxing in the distance with vengeful and venomous eyes, pointing at her.
Since she had caused her to lose face, she shouldn’t expect to get away with it either!
If one had to die, they should all die together!
