This "eloquent" accusation further solidified Xu Yao's "crimes" of "disdaining the poor and loving the rich, and abandoning her family."
The scene immediately erupted into chaos!
Countless gazes, like sharp arrows, shot towards Xu Yao, who was hiding behind Zhou Yang.
Those gazes were filled with doubt, disdain, and moral judgment.
Especially the elderly who have lived in the old street all their lives, can't stand this kind of "unfilial" drama.
