He could tell that the naivety on LAN Xinyu's face was all an act. She was clearly digging a hole for him. She was waiting for him to jump into it, but she was trying to think of ways to push him into the hole.
Song Shibo had originally wanted to explain a few more words to the Meng clan, but he had completely given up this time. LAN Xinyu and Ling Chuxi's cooperation had blocked his way out.
