Chapter 261: One step ahead

Tian Ruyi didn't have a choice but to finally confess now that she had blurted out the truth. "We're not dating but we're friends," she quickly said in her defense. "Bai Keran was going to kill me and it was the first thing that entered my mind."

"I hate liars the most, Ms. Tian," Si Guanlin said sternly.

Hypocrite. Xue Lihua rolled her eyes once again.

"B-but I didn't lie about being friends with Mengmeng. I am their friend. If you won't believe me, you can ask them yourself." She pulled out her phone. "I can even call them!" She tapped on her phone's screen but then, she remembered that her battery was dead. "Shit. It's dead."

A small chuckle was heard from the man sitting beside her. "Alright, alright. I believe you. No need to work yourself over it. Besides, even if you weren't their friend, I will still save you from that old man."

Liar. Xue Lihua mouthed as she continued to drive while looking ahead.
