On the sidelines, Zhong Hanyun immediately restrained Xiao Xueqing and gently shook his head at her.
Xiao Xueqing, who had previously been full of anger, also came to her senses. She realized that continuing to quarrel with Murong Yumeng at this moment would only make her appear in the wrong, regardless of the actual circumstances.
