Xie Shang set down his paintbrush.
"Do you still remember what the fortune teller said when he read my fortune?"

Su Nanzhi's gaze moved from the painting to Xie Shang.
"The person who saved me at the Guan Family that year was Wen Changling. Because of me, she lost her hearing."
This revelation shocked Su Nanzhi.
