Mei Xiang's smile froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Yang Ruxin to be so straightforward right off the bat. However, she quickly composed herself: "I truly don't know about that. I just thought, since we live in the same village, and Lady Xinxin is so capable… Well, they say it's better to resolve hostility than to create it. I've never done farm work before, so I was hoping to come to Xinxin's place to find some tasks to do, to help supplement my family's income…"
"Apologies." Yang Ruxin smiled even brighter, "I really don't have anything here that you can do, and I also won't employ anyone from the Wang Family. So, Miss Mei Xiang, you'd better go back. From now on, let's each keep to ourselves and not interfere with one another…"
Mei Xiang's expression soured visibly, though she quickly gave herself a way out: "I see… Then… I've been too presumptuous…" She even bowed her head slightly before turning to leave.
"Uncle Du, see the guest out," Yang Ruxin's smile turned cold.
