As for the truth, Zhu Lili had no way of knowing. She and Zi Zhe were on friendly terms, but she wouldn't pry into others' private affairs.
Later, when Xiao Yao shook off Zi Zhe's advances and refused his invitation to dine, Xia Moliang didn't mention a word, so Zhu Lili was also in the dark about what happened next.
"Ahem, ahem!" Zhu Lilin, seeing his sister's words were hurtful, quickly interjected, lest they offend Xiao Yao. What would they do if that happened?
When Zhu Lili heard her brother's coughing as a reminder, she realized that it was impolite to call someone an ugly freak to their face. Her cheeks flushed, and she sincerely apologized, "That... Xiao Yao, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk about you like that!"
"It's okay. I am indeed ugly. I can't stop people from saying it, can I?" Xiao Yao didn't take it to heart, probably thanks to the 'eye drops' Xia Moliang had given her.
