Not good! I was so focused on setting traps for others that it seems I've overplayed my hand. Han Yan also realized this—if Yuan Tianbo were to give up now, it would be as if she had dug a hole only to bury herself. Oh damn, I need to salvage this situation quickly. Yuan Tianbo, this dimwit, can still be strung along.
Zirong and Huayue weren't lacking in perception either and both looked towards Mu Hanyan.
Zirong was waiting to enjoy the drama; in all this time, he had never seen Mu Hanyan come off worse.
A twitch formed at the corner of Huayue's mouth—was their young master about to screw himself over?
"What's the matter, out of money? Do you want me to lend you another thousand taels? Trying to outdo me in wealth, you must feel pretty stupid right now," Mu Hanyan said to Yuan Tianbo with derision.
Beneath the mockery, both her words and her expressions exuded overwhelming confidence and a determination that she was bound to win.
