"What's wrong, Miss Shuiyue? Is there a problem?" Ji Fengyao asked calmly, her eyes wide with innocence.
"You summoned Dongdan Yinxiang, but left me here alone. What am I supposed to do?" Dongdan Shuiyue was on the verge of a breakdown. She gripped Ji Fengyao's sleeve tightly, wishing she could move up and slap Ji Fengyao twice.
“Didn’t you, Miss Shuiyue, send the He family back to inform them?” An Zijin coldly shook Dongdan Shuiyue’s hand off Ji Fengyao and said in a deep voice, “Although our young lady doesn’t have the same prestigious reputation as you, Shuiyue, in the Maple Moon Continent, she is still extremely noble in our eyes. Please show some respect, Miss Shuiyue, and don’t act so aggressively or physically towards our young lady. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that the people below will not give you face, Miss Shuiyue.”
Dong Dan Shuiyue was suddenly jolted away, stumbled, and almost fell flat on her face.
Looking up at Zhuang Shaoze and the others, their expressions had lost their indifference from the previous days; instead, they all wore fierce, hostile expressions.
Dongdan Shuiyue was completely panicked, but she dared not pull Ji Fengyao any further. With a bitter face, she said, "Huofeng, you were the one who sent He Lanhuai back to report the news and had Dongdan Yinxiang come to pick her up in person. I was just going along with what you said. How can you abandon me now? We didn't agree to this before. You can't break your promise!"
“It seems Miss Shuiyue’s injuries haven’t fully healed and her memory isn’t very good either,” Ji Fengyao smiled magnanimously, gently patted her shoulder, and said, “It’s alright. Before Dongdan Yinxiang arrives, you still have time to sort things out and figure out exactly what you were thinking before. Then you can die peacefully with a clear conscience. We’re busy with business, so we won’t stay here to watch the show.”
You bunch of filthy bandits, what are you so busy with!
The hatred and resentment in Dongdan Shuiyue's heart were almost about to burst out of her throat.
But she couldn't have an attack.
Before her father's men arrived in Guyue City, she could only rely on this group of dead bandits to survive!
"You just took that batch of supplies from Dongdan Wenhao, are you going to break the contract and deny everything?" Dongdan Shuiyue still argued firmly, "What reward in this Guyue City can compare to the benefits I'm giving you?"
"The supplies for Dong Danwenhao are our reward for bringing you out of the He family; you haven't given us the reward for protecting you and helping you return to the He family to regain power, so we're not breaking our contract," Zhuang Shaoze said with a polite and professional smile.
When Dongdan Shuiyue saw his ruthless smile, she remembered the set of household items she had bought at an exorbitant price that she had only used for one day and was about to be obsolete, and a surge of blood rushed to her chest.
The moment this guy opens his mouth, it's never anything good!
He is absolutely the worst of the worst among this group of bandits, without a doubt!
"Alright, alright. After all, Dong Danwenhao has quite a lot of supplies hidden away. Miss Shuiyue has done a very fair job in this deal. We can't be so heartless. Consider the few days we've protected her for free as a gift. As the old saying goes, even if a deal falls through, we can still be righteous. Let's just consider it doing a good deed," Ji Fengyao generously "educated" Zhuang Shaoze.
Then, she took another step, pretending to leave.
Dong Dan Shuiyue was absolutely furious; countless rampaging alpacas were pounding into her throat, making her feel a metallic taste.
A mouthful of blood rushed into her mouth, but she could only swallow it back down.
