Su Qian saw her actually dare to talk back, and angrily said, "Lu Sirong, what's with that attitude? You caused Manqing and me to suffer such a huge loss, and now you're getting cocky, aren't you!"
"I caused it? Miss Su..."
Just as Lu Sirong was about to retort, Xu Manqing interrupted her, "Enough, both of you say less!"
She didn't stop Su Qian, which meant she shared Su Qian's thoughts, believing that the embarrassment they had just suffered was caused by Lu Sirong.
However, Xu Manqing still had use for Lu Sirong, so she gave Su Qian a look, signaling her to stop talking.
Lu Sirong was sitting in the back and was not blind, she saw clear as day the silent communication between the two of them.
"Sirong, Qian'er is hot-tempered and speaks bluntly; don't hold it against her," Xu Manqing said in pretense of peacemaking, but her words carried a subtle barb.
