It was exactly due to Ye Shuhua's ridiculous and intermittent so-called self-respect that Ye Xueming had truly grown tired of her and no longer wanted to be overly involved or ask about her messy affairs.
It caused him to be entirely on the back foot in front of Huo Xiyao, unable to lift his head.
He had just assuredly said that he would handle everything and promised that Xia Chu wouldn't be bothered again.
But right on the heels of that, he contradicted himself, letting Xia Chu witness Ye Shuhua's pathetic state—was this how he took people's money to solve their problems?
So Ye Xueming almost immediately dropped all other matters to concentrate on dealing with these messy affairs.
