Xu Qiuyuan simply picked up the counter that Jian Zhizhen had placed on the table, placed his own counter on top of it, and spun three coins over.
“Keep it. We don’t know how long we’ll be here. If we run out of money later, we’ll have to settle accounts for past favors. It’s better to settle things now to avoid trouble later.”
She spoke these words expressionlessly, as if she didn't want to suffer any grudges and kept everyone at arm's length.
Jian Zhizhen leaned back on the sofa and silently observed her for a while.
Suddenly, Jian Zhizhen said with certainty, "I think you didn't steal someone else's husband back then."
Xu Qiuyuan's gaze darkened slightly, and he looked up at her again: "Why do you say that?"
“Not repaying a debt of gratitude is essentially the same as stealing someone else’s husband; both are about having no sense of boundaries when it comes to other people’s things. But you’re not willing to owe me even the smallest amount, so I don’t think you’re the kind of person who lacks manners. Besides, I watched the show you hosted back then, and you stood up for middle-aged singers, which clearly shows that you are a very righteous person.”

【Qiuyuan, tell them! You really didn't become a mistress!】
[Hilarious! The fans still aren't giving up? If there were going to be a plot twist, there would have been by now. Would she willingly accept being called a mistress for so many years? If there really were a plot twist, I'd be willing to keep the show at the top of the charts for three days straight!]
Xu Qiuyuan originally intended to keep the truth of this matter hidden.
But looking into Jian Zhizhen's sincere gaze, she felt a strange urge to accuse him.
She's been criticized for so many years, it would be a lie to say she doesn't feel wronged.
Moreover, considering that she had already stayed with Jian Zhizhen for several days and had a certain understanding of the girl's character, she still didn't want Jian Zhizhen to dislike her as well.
So she actually said, "Of course I wasn't a mistress, I was never with Shi Shaoyong at all!"
