"I—" Chen Xiaobei was immediately left speechless. He'd seen unreasonable people, but never someone this unreasonable. If it wasn't for the fact that Jiang Peilan was He Zixuan's biological mother, Chen Xiaobei would have slapped her long ago.
Just then, He Zixuan couldn't hold back anymore. "Mom!" she scolded. "Are you even listening to what I'm saying? If Brother Chen hadn't taken me home tonight, those bastards would have killed me! You're just lashing out without knowing the facts! Can't you have some decency?"
But Jiang Peilan retorted, "Xiaoxuan, your mother understands better than anyone, but business is business. You are the daughter of the Songshan County Magistrate and the future daughter-in-law of the Qingyang Zhong Family. You're not someone any random man can touch. As for you," she said, turning to Chen Xiaobei, "thank you for saving my daughter. With that said, please leave immediately. If you dare to bother my daughter again, I will never forgive you!"
