Mutual Harm!

Zi Yan had been backstabbed by her own words.

But that was no reason for her to back down.

Though she had not read many books, she still knew the principle of repaying a life-saving favor with one's body. Lu Yuan had not saved her, true, but she did not want to work herself to the bone for him either. If each side took a step back, wasn't offering herself perfectly reasonable?

What if she hurt Miss's self-esteem...

How rude would that be...

Gu Xun'er's face reddened slightly as well. Seeing that Zi Yan actually dared to slam the table with her, she immediately slapped the table hard
