Guh Ruoyao followed Guh Siqing's gaze and saw An Yiqing standing within the crowd. She couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she said, "Isn't that the truth! Sister Siqing, it's your insight that's truly outstanding! Compared to those who go from sparrows to phoenixes, you are the real phoenix here!"
Their conversation, as if no one else was present, left the surrounding crowd exchanging looks, their gazes turning towards An Yiqing, with expressions ranging from sympathy to scorn to indifference.
An Yiqing didn't speak. She reached out to stop An Zhihang, who was about to step forward to defend her, and stood silently to the side with a faint smile on her face.
"Uncle Zhang, continue the stone cutting. Do not let some petty individuals affect our mood," Guh Siqing said coldly, observing the crowd's reaction.
Uncle Zhang nodded and continued to cut the stone along the cross-section window.
