In the huge hall, it was so quiet that you could hear other people breathing...
The time may not have been very long, but Nangong Minglu felt as if a long, long time had passed. It was really embarrassing to be slapped by Xu Muyang in front of many people, especially in front of Huo Zhizhi...
But, who told her to owe Han Xiyan?
She hated this feeling!
When will Han Xiyan disappear from her world?
Nangong Minglu closed her eyes and her heart twitched. She was waiting, waiting for the moment when the slap fell on her face.
She knew that what was more embarrassing than the pain on her face was that when she opened her eyes, she would definitely see the faces of Han Xiyan, Huo Zhizhi, and those rich girls mocking her...
Her hands were clenched into fists at her sides...
She felt that every second passing now was a kind of painful suffering for her...
She felt that she had been waiting for a long time, but nothing happened.
She was a little anxious and couldn't help but open her eyes and look.
Beside her, Xu Muyang tilted his head and looked at her with a half-smile.
"What are you doing?" Nangong Minglu was a little annoyed, "Didn't you hear what I said? Why don't you hurry up?"
She would rather be beheaded than be stabbed Lingchi in this painful wait.
"You don't have to wait any longer! I won't hit you!" Xu Muyang said with certainty.
"Didn't you hear what your master said? If you don't hit me, he will give up funding for Ci'en. Do you want those poor children to lose funding because of the two of us?" Nangong Minglu said angrily.
She knew that Xu Muyang was a good person, a good man like A Ding, but she really didn't want to implicate those poor children because of herself. In that case, she would have uneasy conscience for the rest of her life.
"Don't worry! Even if I don't hit you, he will not give up his support for Ci'en." Xu Muyang said to Nangong Minglu very confidently.
"Xu Muyang!" Han Xiyan shouted at him in a low voice.
"I don't know what grudges you have with her, but you shouldn't use your own hard work to make such a dirty deal with me." Xu Muyang turned his eyes to Han Xiyan's face and said easily.
Han Xiyan's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he was speechless for a moment.
He was indeed just talking. Even if Xu Muyang did not fight Nangong Minglu, he would not give up his support for Ci En, because as Xu Muyang said, it was his hard work, how could he give up so easily?
It was easy for Xu Muyang to tell what was on his mind, and Han Xiyan fell silent. He didn't know how to deal with Nangong Minglu.
Lan Yufei glared at Nangong Minglu fiercely, not knowing what to do with her for a moment.
The scene just stood there.
The air didn't seem to flow anymore.
"ah--"
A sharp scream startled everyone.
Following the call, Huo Zhizhi ran to Han Xiyan in a panic, "Yan, my ring is missing!"
