“I am not an ungrateful person, Mom, nor will I forget the lifesaving grace.

I am also thinking of the Tao Mansion’s best interest.

Even if I have to support Su Qingyue at the cost of my own life, it doesn’t matter, but what about the entire Tao Mansion?

And you, how can Dad rest assured leaving you behind?”

“Dad…”

“Meijiao, promise Dad, if Su Qingyue is in trouble, do not help her secretly.

Otherwise, you certainly won’t be able to deceive the Xiao Family’s informants in the capital,” Master Tao spoke gravely.

“You do not understand that the current head of the Xiao Family, Xiao Chonghuan, although he appears amiable, is actually ruthless and merciless.

Opposing the Xiao Clan will not end well.

It’s not that I don’t want to repay the debt of gratitude, but I do not wish the Tao Mansion to make a senseless sacrifice.

Besides, Su Qingyue didn’t save me for nothing, did she take one thousand taels of consultation fee?

Having taken the money, we can hardly talk about owing her a great debt.”

“Dad…” Tao Meijiao wanted to say something more, but was silenced by her biological father’s fierce look, and she reluctantly closed her mouth.

“Meijiao, you are not getting any younger.

You’re twenty years old.

By this age, other women already have children running all around,” Master Tao said with his hands behind his back.

“Stop mentioning loving Xiao Qinghe and such; everyone in town knows that the Xiao Family’s disabled heir doesn’t even like you.

Yang Yuliu, Xiao Qinghe’s mom, caused the legitimate son of the Xiao Family to be lost out there for many years; it’s unlikely that the Xiao Family will let him and Xiao Yishan off the hook.

I’ve arranged for you to meet a few men from decent families tonight.

You’ll go on those blind dates and sever all ties with your so-called friends once and for all.”

“You’re overthinking, Dad!” Tao Meijiao protested discontentedly.

“Xiao Yuchuan has long known about his foster mother causing him to be stranded in Wushan Village, and he doesn’t care at all.

He even said that Xiao Yishan and Xiao Qinghe will forever be his brothers.

Besides, the reason Qinghe is disabled is because of Xiao Yuchuan, and he acknowledges that bond.”

“Cutting ties is the only way to stay safe…”

“I won’t!”

“I’ve been too indulgent with you, and that’s why you’re so wilful as a young lady,” the boss sternly scolded.

“You will go on these blind dates, whether you like it or not.

If you dare to run away or play tricks, I will tie you up myself and arrange for a man to get married to you!

Behave yourself, and you might still find someone agreeable.”

Tao Meijiao, thinking of her lost virtue, bit her lip.

“Fine, I’ll go on the blind dates.”

Unbeknownst to the both of them, the figure of Su Qingyue flashed past outside on the beam.

She knew that upon her return to the Mansion, the Tao family would make their stance clear.

She wanted to find out whether they were willing to help her or if they would avoid her.

In truth, she had never intended to involve the Tao family in her troubles; she just wanted to know their attitude.

And now she understood.

People’s hearts are fickle; one should not expect too much.

As for Chang Haotian, she had originally thought him shameless for proposing to her, a married woman.

But now, she saw him as the one who would rather smash head-on into the Xiao Family, bloodied and battered, just to protect her.

Walking in the crowd, she felt numb to the admiration of many for her beauty.

The conversation she had just overheard made it clear that her friendship with Tao Meijiao could never return to what it once was.

As for herself, Su Qingyue, she was a killer; such a person should not have friends to begin with.

“Feeling bad?” A cold yet concerned male voice reached her from behind.

She turned to see Chang Haotian standing there, “When did you get here?”

“With your skills, you should have high alertness.

I’ve been following you for a while, and yet you never noticed,” Chang Haotian looked at her fondly.

“Qing’er, I can’t rest easy in this life if I don’t keep you by my side.”
