'Crash!'
The sound of ceramic shattering came from inside; Shu Yimo knew that was a teacup thrown by An Yusheng.
"Scourge, out! Out! The An Family doesn't have a place for a treacherous beast like you! Out! All of you, out!"
An Yusheng's roar followed, and then the sound of more things being smashed.
Listening, Shu Yimo's slender body paused for just a moment. Her footsteps were unavoidably a bit stiff. After a long silence, she finally took a deep breath, blinked her eyes, and continued walking forward.
…
As she descended the stairs, the frail figure of Bai Xiexie blocked her path.
"Let's talk."
Bai Xiexie lifted her head with a proud, untouchable air, looking at Shu Yimo with eyes full of pity for all beings, as if she was the savior of a pitiful creature who had been misled into wrongdoing.
And it seemed, it had always been like this. Each time Shu Yimo had an unpleasant encounter with someone from the An Family, Bai Xiexie would use that face to 'console' her, Shu Yimo.
