Anniel was dumbfounded.
What did this man mean by that statement?
Did he admit defeat?
Or did he soften his stance?
Why was he suddenly opening up to her, admitting he was at a loss concerning her?
The script wasn't supposed to go like this, was it?
She had already braced herself for his fury, yet he backed down instead?
This sense of disparity was somewhat hard for Anniel to accept.
Xiao Chen sat up, looked at Anniel's bewildered face, and suddenly chuckled, "What? Were you expecting me to throw you out and let some despicable people make you fall apart?"
"No, no, no! Among the many things you just said, there was one that actually moved me. That is, I truly don't know what the O'Brien Family's code of conduct is like, to put it simply, I can't be sure of how much value a broken Anniel still has for the O'Brien Family."
"So I'm not going to be as hard on you. At least, I don't want to gamble!"
