章節 553: The Frugal Real Estate Agent

Zhuang Ling nodded, avoiding Rong Qi's gaze.

Rong Qi frowned, sensing something was amiss. She thought, 'Had Shen also been targeted in a scheme similar to mine?'

Zhuang Ling explained the day's events at Xihuang Bar and waited for Rong Qi's reaction.

However, Rong Qi's response was unexpectedly calm. She said, "I see. I'll go check on him."

Rong Qi headed upstairs, leaving Zhuang Ling puzzled. He said, "Isn't she supposed to be angry? Master Shen looked so grim when he returned."

Xu Yi speculated, "Ever heard of the calm before the storm? They might be heading for another cold war."

"Ah! Not again!" Zhuang Ling exclaimed.

"No, no," Shangguan Ze interjected, "You're underestimating Sukie. Based on my years of friendship with her, she's not angry."

"Friendship?" Zhuang Ling and Xu Yi exclaimed in unison.

"You know, best of friends. What's wrong with that?" Shangguan Ze stated as he admired the grandeur of the mansion.
