"What do you mean by that? You speak as if we're the ones to blame here!" Wang Meique's expression turned sour at Bai Nuanxi's insinuation. Was she suggesting that they were at fault while Huo Muchen bore no responsibility? Laughable. Did she think they were that easily bullied?
Wang Meique prided herself on not being someone who could be pushed around so easily.
"Isn't that the case?" Bai Nuanxi nudged Huo Muchen. "Do you think it's because my dear one is either blind or foolish? How could he ever take a liking to you?" Her tone dripped with disdain, making it clear she saw Wang Meique as nothing more than a minor inconvenience.
"No decent girl would use her own reputation for something like this!" Even Wang Binyi couldn't hold back any longer. A girl's honor was paramount, and Bai Nuanxi's implication was as loud as it was damning, branding Wang Meique as someone willing to barter her reputation for personal gain. How could she bear it?
