Her words had hit the nail on the head.
An Xiaoning would never stoop to making a deal with her. Otherwise, how would she be any different from Chi Rui'er?
"I know it myself even if you don't tell me. I may not be as powerful or enjoy as much authority as the Xu family, but I highly doubt they'd bother standing up for you if I were to kill your mother. After all, you and Xu Youran aren't actually close friends, are you?" An Xiaoning retorted.
"It's good that you know who the culprit is, you don't have to find out from me then. Your guess is right. I'm merely a puppet of hers, though, and I'd like to break free too," said Chi Rui'er.
An Xiaoning knew what her words meant.
"Are you genuinely in love with Uncle?"
"I already said, I'm only a puppet. I have standards when it comes to men."
An Xiaoning stared at her and said, "You'd better watch out, you're on your own."
