"How could I be so brazen!" Although he said this, the greed and excitement in Xu Bao’s eyes betrayed him.
"What’s there to be bashful about! It’s just a fine piece of merchandise—just consider it an offering every day from my Zhuo Family if you like it!"
"Really?" Xu Bao’s face lit up with joy.
"Of course! And you can rest assured that you can do as you please with these goods provided to you, without worrying about any concerns!"
"Does that include her as well?" Xu Bao pointed at the still somewhat bewildered Zhuo Yangyang.
"Of course!"
"But didn’t she just call you ’grandma’?" Xu Bao said with a taunting smile.
Elder Madam Zhuo sneered upon hearing this, "Call me grandma? With her? I was just sweetening her up on purpose! What right does such a lowly servant have to call me ’grandma’?"
Upon hearing these words, Zhuo Yangyang, who had initially been drunk, suddenly sobered up.
Then her face turned ashen, "Grand... grandma? This..."
Elder Madam Zhuo glared at her with disgust, "Zhuo Yangyang, you didn’t really think I would accept you, did you?"
"What... what do you mean?"
That’s when Elder Madam Zhuo pointed at Xu Bao, "See? I’ve already given you to Master Xu. Now, go along with Master Xu. When you’re in his hands, remember to behave!"
These words sent Zhuo Yangyang into an icy abyss.
Because she finally understood that it was all a façade.
Elder Madam Zhuo’s pleasant demeanor towards her was fake.
The attitude changes of the people around her were also fake.
It’s laughable that she always thought everything was going to change.
But from the beginning to the end, it was all just her deceiving herself.
A wave of helplessness and sorrow from the depths of her soul took hold in Zhuo Yangyang’s heart, her eyes brimming with tears as she choked out,
"Why... why is this happening? Why are you doing this to me?"
"Why?" Elder Madam Zhuo scoffed, "Because your very birth was a huge mistake!"
"Your mother dared to give birth to you secretly to climb the ranks. Ha, little did she know she would still end up dying by my rod!"
Saying this, Elder Madam Zhuo’s face was filled with ferocity, "You don’t remember her appearance; she pleaded for me to spare you without even a moan until her silent death by beating!"
"A wench’s offspring remains a wench, never changing! All of this, this is your fate! Do you understand now?"
"Heh! Now the last contribution you can make for our Zhuo Family is to obediently go with Master Xu! To become Master Xu’s woman before your death is also your fortune! Do you understand everything I’ve said?"
Elder Madam Zhuo’s words were like sharp knives, brutally cutting open Zhuo Yangyang’s heart.
Her face pale as paper, her body swaying unsteadily, "No... no!"
Meanwhile, Elder Madam Zhuo then turned towards Xu Bao, "Master Xu, I do not wish to see this gift again!"
Xu Bao grinned malevolently and nodded, then licked his lips, "Rest assured, I will fix this item nicely tonight, ensuring that by tomorrow, she will become the most perfect piece in my collection!"
Saying so, Xu Bao stood up and bowed genteelly to Zhuo Yangyang, his brutal face revealing a savage smile.
"Beautiful lady, tonight’s time is precious—I can hardly wait to begin. Please come with me!"
"No... don’t!" Zhuo Yangyang felt her heart shattering, instinctively recoiling.
But how could she possibly be a match for Xu Bao? He reached out and grabbed Zhuo Yangyang’s arm, then marveled,
Was it him?
Everyone stared in bewilderment.
Elder Madam Zhuo continued to sip her tea without changing expression, but a cold smirk appeared in her eyes.
Xu Bao stared intensely at Xue An, his eyelids twitching madly, then he let out a cackling laugh.
"What did you say?"
Slowly, Xue An raised his head, picked up a white napkin from the table, and wiped the corners of his mouth before saying calmly, "Didn’t you hear? I said let her go."
A stunned silence filled the room.
Many faces showed shock.
To dare speak to Xu Bao like this, how bold this young man must be.
Both Zhuo Ya and her mother wore smug expressions, as expected.
As for Zhuo Yangyang, she was staring blankly at Xue An, "Xue... Mr. Xue?"
Xue An smiled gently at her, "Didn’t I say before we came that you should get back early to rest?"
The heart in Zhuo Yangyang that had sunk into sheer despair gradually revived, and she forcefully sniffed, "Yes!"
Xu Bao then sneered, "What are you, daring to speak to me like that?"
Xue An looked up at Xu Bao, smiled slightly, "So, it sounds like you’re not planning to let her go?"
"Hehe, nobody I, Xu Bao, have taken a liking to has ever been let go! Plus, I’m curious, didn’t you inquire before playing the hero... who I am?"
Xue An chuckled, then shook his head, "I don’t care who you are, I’m giving you three breaths to let her go, otherwise... I’ll let you find out, just who I am!"
