"Granny, what did they say?"
Qin Xiangnuan, despite the current chaos in her heart, was strangely calm in her thoughts. Perhaps she had anticipated such a day would come, or maybe she's been accustomed to competing against Hu Li and her son from her previous life.
In her previous life, she never won, not even once.
But this life might be different.
Granny Lu paused for a while, seemingly with things to say but not knowing how to express them. Eventually, she couldn't hold back and spoke to Qin Xiangnuan.
"Nuannuan, Hu Li is demanding money, what should we do?"
"Demanding money?" Qin Xiangnuan felt her entire worldview collapse at Hu Li's audacity, as if her integrity across two lifetimes shattered alongside it. Who could tell her, just how much shamelessness one needs to utter such words, commit such acts.
Asking Granny Lu for money. Hu Li was capable of such a thing, truly demanding it without shame.
