These words were an insult to Qiao Yu, and she immediately raised her hand to hit him...
Xiao Jiuru easily stopped her, his gaze suddenly cold, "Qiao Yu, you're not qualified to slap me!"
"You better calm down and stop doing stupid things that backfire. Learning to please the old man is a clear path. Don't think about anything else for now, got it?"
Qiao Yu didn't understand why Xiao Jiuru kept asking her to win favor with the old man.
Even if the old man stood by her side, so what?
What she needed now was Xiao Jinghuai...
Xiao Jiuru suddenly let go, "Just follow my advice, and I guarantee it'll work twice as effectively."
"...Xiao Jiuru, can I still trust you?"
She was beginning to think that agreeing to ally herself with him could have been a mistake.
