"Don't be anxious, Old Mrs. Wu." Cao Xiaomei reached out to pat Old Mrs. Wu's back, "Getting anxious over this won't help. Brother Chen Jun has eyes only for Shangguan Xi right now; what can I do? Unless..."
"Unless what?" Old Mrs. Wu turned to look at Cao Xiaomei.
Cao Xiaomei leaned in on Old Mrs. Wu's shoulder, whispering a few sentences.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Wu's complexion changed.
"Our Wu Family has some degree of friendship with the Shangguan Family. Doing this might be inappropriate, let alone the fact that there's the Zheng Family standing behind Shangguan Family. Dealing with the Shangguan Family alone is troublesome enough; adding the Zheng Family to the mix... and if the Mo Family gets involved, our Wu Family truly cannot afford to offend them."
Just thinking about it made Old Mrs. Wu's scalp tingle.
