Chương 562: Exploiting the Situation

Mrs. Ye Sr. slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "Insolence! Rong Qi, stand up!"

Rong Qi remained indifferent, as did Mrs. Hong, who acted as if she hadn't heard anything. Only Mrs. Fan looked worried, she had attempted to ask for Old Master Ye, but he declined, citing a headache, leaving Rong Qi to face the situation alone. They had also informed Ye Nanshen, but there was no telling when he would arrive.

Mrs. Fan, unfamiliar with Rong Qi's usual demeanor, could only stand anxiously to the side. Moments later, Mrs. Fan signaled Mrs. Hong, who nodded slightly, preparing to follow her out. However, just as Mrs. Hong took a step back, there was a sudden crashing sound behind her.

A heavy object had fallen to the ground, apparently a broken Buddha statue.

Mrs. Hong turned in shock to see a flustered maid standing behind her, the broken statue on the floor.

"I-I didn't know she was behind me," Mrs. Hong explained.
