Zhang Xiaoshan immediately felt a bit guilty as he spoke.
"I, I didn't consider that, and that was my fault, but it's not what you think. Little Meng and I don't have any improper relationship; we're just ordinary friends. I just happened to run into her, so I helped her out."
"Ordinary friends?"
Jiang Man's gaze was skeptical.
Zhang Xiaoshan immediately nodded.
"I swear, there's absolutely nothing between us. Besides, why would I lie to you?"
Jiang Man stared hard into Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes as if trying to spot any trace of deceit.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan, with a clear conscience, was not afraid.
It took almost half a minute before Jiang Man finally softened her piercing gaze.
"The truth had better be as you say, otherwise, I won't let you off easily."
This meant Jiang Man had calmed down.
After Zhang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, he retorted to Jiang Man.
