Chapter 174: 138 Fifth Master Protects His Own, Mysterious Woman Stabs Again (3 more updates)_3

“What do you think?”

At this moment, Zhuang Rao finally understood what it meant to be grilled over the fire. She walked up to Tang Wan, biting the bullet, she apologized, “I’m sorry!”

“Who are you apologizing to?” Jiang Jinsang raised an eyebrow.

“Miss Tang, I’m sorry!”

“An apology should have a reason, right…”

Zhuang Rao’s hands were tightly clenched, her body not only trembling with fear and dread but also with indignant shame. She had no choice but to choke up and apologize over and over.

“She was born with a venomous heart, wishing harm upon others. Yet, living in our house, it’s not the place of outsiders to meddle, even if it’s one’s own family…”

With a scoff in his voice, Jiang Jinsang said, “One must consider the closeness of relationships. Distant relatives aren’t even as good as close neighbors, so don’t overextend your reach.”

Jiang Shuyan bit her teeth, not daring to say more.

She could only bitterly regret underestimating Tang Wan, but she never expected that Jiang Jinsang would personally step in to help her.

“The auction is about to start, if we keep this up, I’m afraid we’ll delay the time,” Tang Wan spoke up to Jiang Jinsang, offering everyone a way out.

“Yes, the auction is starting soon. Let’s all get ready,” the event staff immediately called everyone to attention.

“We’re just going to let them off like that?” Jiang Jinsang murmured to Tang Wan as they sat down.

“I’ve actually gained the upper hand already. You really don’t need to… lest everyone says you’re too domineering and aggressive.”

“What others think has never concerned me. I just wanted to stand up for you, to make you feel better.”

Tang Wan looked down, feeling a mixture of emotions rise in her heart. Aside from her family, it was rare for someone to treat her like this.

“Oh, right, about the second…” Tang Wan was about to ask why Jiang Yanting hadn’t come when she suddenly heard a muffled thud from the auction hall’s emergency exit, followed by a scream from Zhuang Rao.
