"Keep your voice down," Chen Xiao whispered.
Li Kani pursed her red lips. "You… you have a way to save my father?"
Their voices were very low, and to an outsider, it might have looked like they were whispering intimately.
Jessie cast a displeased glance at Chen Xiao. As a mother, she didn't approve of her daughter getting involved with a man of unknown origin. After all, the Li family's assets were substantial, and her innocent daughter, Li Kani, was the heir to that fortune. She feared someone with ill intentions might try to get close to her, so she naturally had to keep a close watch.
"Kani, is this gentleman a friend of yours?" Jessie asked.
"He is," Li Kani answered, her face flushing when she realized her mother had misunderstood. "Just a friend."
Jessie wasn't convinced. How could a simple friend make her daughter blush?
Chen Xiao paid no attention to the mother-daughter conversation, his gaze fixed straight ahead where an old man was taking Li Zhenfang's pulse.
