Xie Jian originally wanted to refuse, but then he heard Xu Zhe'an slowly add another sentence.
"Our family motto is to repay kindness without leaving debts. After all, since it's not easy for us to come see you from a distance, you should just accept this; then my sister won't feel the need to repay you all the time."
Anyone with a sound mind could understand what he meant by that.
You were kind to me, and I am repaying you, so we won't have any further ties or need for more interactions in the future.
Xie Jian hesitated for a moment.
"When I saved your sister back then, it was really just an easy thing to do. If those thugs weren't dealt with, it could have been my sister who was in trouble next time."
He had already said a lot more than he usually would, and finally added another sentence.
"I know it's a long journey. I've received your gratitude, so there's no need for you to come again."
Xie Yumian listened to the back-and-forth between the two and felt anxious deep down.
