"Don't make a fuss, of course I won't sell my daughter, why are you getting so worked up about this..." came the somewhat helpless voice of Wenying's father.
Wenying repeated what Jingrou had said back then, her expression still showing a hint of fear.
"Jingrou, why do you think this is happening?"
