"Alright, alright. Stop laughing."
Qu Xiujie turned to look outside the window instead of Murong Cheng who was laughing sillily. He did not care if the latter was really mocking him. Meeting the couple was merely the first step; now, he had to think of the second step which was: What should he say to them?
There was despondency in his eyes, and even the scenery outside had become bland because of this. If not for being subjected to Old Lady Qu's scheming, there was no need for him to investigate her past or even the recent activities.
His financial powers were taken away by the old lady, but that did not mean that he could not use other methods to earn money and find more about her. For instance, his friend, who was beside him, had the backing of the entire Murong family.
Although they were in their sunset years, they were still very well-known in the capital.
"What's wrong with me laughing? Are you not allowing me to laugh?"
