Yu Xiulan looked at her friend with a condescending look in her eyes. "I don't need you to worry about my matters," she said, without trying to hide the hostility in her voice.
The male artist who had been next to her all this time shook his head. "Well, I cannot follow you," he said decisively. "I can help you with many things, but going against Young Master Shan is something I won't do. He found me when I was a nobody and raised me to what I am today. I am not so ungrateful that I will repay his kindness with hostility."
Yu Xiulan was stumped for words when she heard what her partner said. However, before she had the chance to react, the male artist had already turned around and was leaving the venue, not willing to stay and accompany Yu Xiulan any further.
Yu Xiulan was caught between a rock and a hard place. If she entered, people would look and mock her for being alone. If she stayed away, she would never get the chance to disgrace Jiang Yingyue.
