An Lan instinctively looked up and exchanged a glance with Huo Zhanting.
Aunt Li didn't know, but the two of them did. The argument between Xiaoxuan and Zhang Ya was just an excuse—the real purpose was to ensure Aunt Li and Wangzi stayed away from danger. In the past, An Lan might have softened up.

Right now, they were in the light, and the enemy was in the dark. Unless they resolved the matter with the Ouyang Family once and for all, it would never end.

As An Lan thought about this, her eyes shifted. She cleared her throat and decided to sacrifice her brother's reputation.
