Logically speaking, at such a moment, Chiang Xiao shouldn't have used a scattergun approach, provoking the onlookers; otherwise, once she charged in, even if she was in the right, it would seem as if she didn't have a valid point. These people would definitely take Ho Laidi's side.
But to pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of these people who couldn't tell right from wrong was not something she was willing to do. That's why she had walked away earlier, firstly because she didn't want to cause a conflict in front of so many people, and secondly because she didn't want to have anything to do with Ji Desheng.
Only Ho Laidi wasn't willing to let her go.
