After she finished speaking, Xiao Mengxue realized she might have said the wrong thing and felt slightly embarrassed.
Fortunately, the elder Mr. Xiao changed the subject, smoothing things over, "Mr. Ye, please sit and talk; let's not all stand."
Mr. Ye nodded.
Once everyone was seated, Ye Jiuliang then chose a spot where there was no one sitting to her left or right.
With the elder there, she couldn't just walk away. Whether it was a trap or not, she planned not to court trouble, and she hoped others wouldn't trouble her either.
"Miss Ye, why sit so far away? Why not move a bit closer?" Xiao Mengxue looked up at Ye Jiuliang sitting alone, seeming out of place, and called out to her.
Ye Jiuliang's eyes were indifferent, "No need, I'm quite comfortable here."
With that single sentence, she blocked any further conversation from Xiao Mengxue.
She found that making small talk with Ye Jiuliang easily led to a dead conversation.
