Tian Zhongxi's words were like a sudden thunderbolt, leaving Zhang Xiaohua dumbstruck on the spot. What...what was going on?
Zhang Xiaohua turned to look at Ma Jing, only to see him eating and laughing while treating Little Taohong as if he had hidden her in a golden house. His smile was buried behind his dark, skinny wrinkles, and with the dining hall's flames, one could see the excitement in his eyes. His forehead even appeared reddened with excitement.
It seemed that Zhang Xiaohua understood something, his heart filled with raging anger. Although he was just a countryside boy who hadn't seen much of the world, he wouldn't let people scheme against him or bully him easily. He hadn't offended Ma Jing, just advised him to wash his feet and pay attention to personal hygiene. But Ma Jing had played him, making Tian Zhongxi look down on him. This was truly hateful.
