If she didn't go, Ling Chuxia couldn't help but conjure up the dignified and elegant visage of Mrs. Shi in her mind. She shivered unconsciously.
She shook her head vigorously. No, no, not going was not an option, not showing up was equivalent to admitting defeat, and admitting defeat would mean losing face for the Shi Family. And losing face…
Mrs. Shi would rather she lost her life than the Shi Family's face.
So, she had to go, alone and unaided, and she had to ensure that Li Qian couldn't spread rumors about her poor relationship with Shi Che.
But how was she supposed to do that?
Chuxia thought and thought but couldn't come up with any strategy. She tossed and turned restlessly on the bed, unable to lie still. While shifting positions, her eyes inadvertently swept across the nightstand where her phone lay, silent and unmoving since she had hung up the call.
Wasn't Shi Che even going to return her call?
