After listening to Wang Ruyi's words, a faint cold smirk couldn't help but appear on Shu Yimo's face.
Silently, she returned to her seat and slowly sat down, her indifferent gaze meeting the one Wang Ruyi cast her way. The upward arc of her lips grew slightly, yet her voice remained calm and flat—
"It seems that Hengtai's current situation really isn't very good... But what does that have to do with me? Why should I negotiate with Fan Lingjue on your behalf? Besides, you're not unaware that Fan Lingjue has always held me in low regard. Wouldn't it be more effective to have Bai Xiexie step in than me?"
"If Xixi could persuade him, would I still need to find you?"
Wang Ruyi retorted.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it then. I'm merely an outsider to this affair, committing such a foolish act as to draw fire onto myself is not something I will do."
Shu Yimo replied just as bluntly.
