Bab 322: Chapter 322: Climbing the Knife Mountain, Descending into the Sea of Fire

Bai Ruozhu felt a bit bad for seeming harsh, but she had subtly probed her second brother. He showed no interest in Guizhi, and if Guizhi didn't back off soon, she would be the one to suffer.

If Guizhi's feelings for her second brother deepened, it could strain their relationship with the Bai Family. Hence, Bai Ruozhu decided it was better to play the villain now and help Guizhi realize the truth.

Tears welled up in Fang Guizhi's eyes, but she stubbornly held them back.

Bai Ruozhu pretended not to see her distress and complimented Guizhi's cooking as she ate her noodles. By the end of the meal, Bai Ruozhu herself was feeling emotional, on the verge of tears.
