Liu Liu shook her head. "I really don't know if he's finally thought things through or if someone else gave him the idea. Does he really think a few pleas would be enough to make us do what he wants?"
Wang Caiyue stood with her hands on her hips, her lips curling as she spoke. "He was smart this time, at least. He didn't bring the He family's old madam or his brother and sister-in-law. If he had, I wouldn't have wasted so much time on him. I would have just cursed him out and sent him on his way."
