She heard her elder brother say he had introduced Xia Shu to Sister Xiaojun.
She had not interacted with Xia Shu, but had seen him once; he was a gentlemanly figure of excellence, very suitable for Sister Xiaojun.
Gu Xiao said coldly, "Don't worry, I won't let Xiaojun's face be scarred."
The implication was obvious—he would protect Ouyang Xiaojun.
Lou Yan was so angry she ground her teeth.
She swallowed the words she had prepared and lowered her head sorrowfully, meekly calling out to Lou Ming, "Brother…"
She seemed to want to explain, but Lou Ming cut her off, "Didn't I tell you to go back to Beijing!"
Lou Yan, sad and frightened, bowed her head as tears dropped one by one, "Brother, you don't know, Ouyang Xiaojun wants to kill you, she wants to kill you. Qin Youbei is in cahoots with her, they're not good people, brother, why don't you believe me, why won't you believe me?"
Towards the end, her voice fell, almost pleading.
