I sat up straight, pulled back my hand, and then asked Cheng Yu what he thought about today's incident. Zhao Mengxi's actions seemed like a desperate attempt at finding a cure.
It was also reminiscent of her usual impulsive temperament, but I knew she was Master Zhao's only child, and her every move would be reported to him specially.
Zhao Mengxi coming to Cheng Yu couldn't have been unknown to Master Zhao; maybe, the bodyguards would even recite every word we just said to him without missing a single one.
But he has had no reaction so far, which makes me suspect he wants to use this opportunity to call a truce with Cheng Yu temporarily, to test Cheng Yu's attitude.
"Since the bribery scandal broke out, Master Zhao's business took a significant hit, plus recently, Gu Tingshen has been biting hard at him. While he was caught up with his own troubles, you took the chance to swallow up a part of his business," I laid out the current situation one by one.
