The cold air around Madam Xiao was enough to freeze someone into catching a cold.
Ah Lan didn't dare to disobey and could only sit down obediently.
"Today, I've already cleared things up with Lijin. I'm sure you heard it all from the side, so now I'll formally tell you again: I don't object to you talking to Lijin, but you can't be alone in a room with him. Lijin sees you as a lifesaver; he's too embarrassed to refuse you, but I can tell you, furthermore, since you came, our Xiao Family hasn't treated you poorly. We've bought you bags, clothes, and such, so you need to be more mindful yourself."
Ah Guang felt very uncomfortable hearing these words, but Madam Xiao's presence was too overwhelming, and naturally, he couldn't do anything about it.
"Alright, go on now."
Ah Lan was terribly upset by the grievances, planning to cry in her room, but Ah Guang dragged her to his room.
