Xiu Shu was truly amazed upon hearing Jiangli's words. She scrutinized Jiangli as if trying to discern from her expression.
Was Jiangli lying, or was she sincere?
However, she was destined to be disappointed.
Jiangli's demeanor was calm, showing no excess emotion, making it impossible to discern what she was truly thinking.
Xiu Shu pursed her lips and repeated, "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiangli replied lightly, "I disdain lying to deceive people."
Upon hearing this, Xiu Shu stared at her for a moment.
Before her was a complete cage-like predicament; she and Meng Huiqi were just caged beasts within, utterly powerless against Jiangli.
Aside from trusting Jiangli's character, there was no other way.
Xiu Shu herself was insignificant, but she had to protect Meng Huiqi.
Upon this thought, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Jiangli and nodded, "Alright, I believe you. You want to know the truth? Then I'll tell you, Hen Wenliang and I are lovers."
