Chu Yao knew she might have her own subjective biases, but no matter how she looked at it, she truly couldn't see a single shred of sincerity in Mi Feifei's eyes.
Chu Yao smiled, her gaze sweeping around Mi Feifei, but there was no sign of Yang Zhou.
Chu Yao's smile deepened. She met Mi Feifei's gaze, her demeanor neither servile nor overbearing. "Miss Fei'er, you spoke up for me twice before, and I'm very grateful. That's why I came to thank you in person. I believe that's the most basic respect between people, so…"
As Chu Yao spoke, her tone softened. "You don't need to apologize on someone else's behalf. I wouldn't accept it anyway. I have other things to do, so I'll be going. Miss Fei'er, see you tomorrow." Chu Yao maintained her smile the entire time. After speaking, she gave Mi Feifei another nod and then turned to leave.
Mi Feifei stood frozen, a flash of surprise in her eyes that quickly turned into a dark, unreadable mix of emotions.
