"Did Ms. Xu not hear what I just said?"
Shen Jishi took out a sheet of paper and leisurely helped Qingwu wipe her hands.
"Apologies, everyone. Our Qingwu was raised in the countryside, doesn't know the rules, and has been entirely spoiled by our family. I'll make sure to teach her properly once we're back home."
He said "teach," but his face didn't show the slightest hint of embarrassment!
Clearly, he was protecting her.
Xu Xiaoqin's face turned blue and red in patches!
Qingwu had already declared that Xu Xiaoru was under her protection, and no one else had the right to make comments!
Old Mr. Xu, a seasoned and astute man, simply glanced at Xu Xiaoru upon witnessing the scene.
"Qinqin, apologize."
At the old man's command, Xu Xiaoqin, despite her unwillingness, had no choice but to stand up and bow to Xu Xiaoru.
Feeling humiliated and ashamed, wine dripped continuously from her face, mixing with the tears streaming from her eyes.
