"So that's how it is, the furnishings in the room are lavish, but the bed is just wooden planks—now I understand why."
At last, Xie Lingyi understood. It seemed Xiao Xiao's bed was like hers, made from wooden planks.
"Last night, the Xie Family issued a statement cutting ties with you, hinting in various ways that you're ungrateful."
Ji Sinan didn't want to tell Xie Lingyi this, fearing it would affect her mood. But even if he didn't, she would find out soon enough.
"They're making the first move. It's more than just hinting I'm ungrateful; they're probably smearing my name ruthlessly."
Xie Lingyi knew that five million wouldn't satisfy the Xie Family. She had ruined the marriage between Xie An and Ji Sinan. The Xie Family would definitely retaliate, and she had given up hope on these things.
"But it's very strange."
"What's strange?"
Xie Lingyi asked, puzzled as to why the Xie Family's smearing campaign was considered strange. It was standard behavior for them.
