Song Jingxi smiled faintly, "This money was rightfully yours, why so nervous? Now, you may leave, I still have something to discuss with that Hua Family girl."
Qing Tao acknowledged with a sound, pitter-pattered out of the room. Hua Xiaomai sidestepped to avoid her gaze, watched her pass by, patted her chest to calm her nerves, took a deep breath, and was about to lift the curtain to enter when she heard Song Jingxi speak again.
