”Young Master Qi.”

That soft and tender voice contained some shyness and pleasant surprise, but it couldn't give Qi Hongxuan any good feelings. His handsome eyebrows instantly scrunched up, and he no longer revealed a smiling face to greet her.

”Is Miss Li busy?” Qi Hongxuan couldn't hide his displeasure as he looked at him coldly.

Lili kept her head down, looking shy and timid. She only glanced at the handsome young man with a noble aura, clearly not seeing the displeasure on Qi Hongxuan's face. ”Young Master Qi, Miaoyu wants to talk to you for a bit.”

Qi Hongxuan frowned as he stared coldly at Lee Miaoyu. Thinking of how she had a mother that was as venomous as a scorpion, she was definitely not any better off. She felt even more disgusted as she asked, ”What's the matter?”

Seeing that he did not refuse, Lee Miaoyu's bashful expression instantly changed. Her small face was filled with bitterness and resentment, and it was even quicker than a vaudeville performance.

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and lightly tapped on her clean eyelids like a flower, acting as if she was about to cry. It was so pitiful.

Qi Hongxuan sneered in his heart, thinking that this girl is really good at scheming and acting. If it wasn't because he was born in a noble family and was used to seeing girls in the backyard, he would probably have been tricked by her today.

”Young Master Qi, do you believe those rumors as well?” She took the handkerchief and gently stroked the corners of her eyes. Then, she gently lifted her eyes and looked at the tall and handsome youth before her with an angle that was both bashful and charming.

Qi Hongxuan raised his eyebrows and looked back at the pair of seductive eyes. He casually asked, ”What rumor?”

Lee Miaoyufu lowered her eyes again and said with a sorrowful expression, ”They all said that it was my mother who beat up Miaoyin's little sister, and that she was a woman with a venomous heart of a snake and scorpion. Brother Qi, do you also believe that?”
