An unexpected guest suddenly appeared, and Xiao Cha's heart tightened. She whispered to Lu Li:
"This good-for-nothing is my cousin, Luo Xiaoyun. I hardly ever see him, so how did I run into him here? Just my luck~"
They were both stuffed with incriminating evidence and didn't dare move around too much. This really wasn't a good time.
Seeing Xiao Cha ignore him and focus on talking to Lu Li, Luo Xiaoyun looked displeased.
"Hey~ I'm talking to you! Why didn't you report to the clan after reaching Organ Refining?"
Xiao Cha rolled her eyes. "We never have anything to do with each other normally, but the moment I reach Organ Refining, I have to report to you so you can order me around. You expect to get all the good things for yourselves?"
"You!" Luo Xiaoyun's expression stiffened. He snapped angrily, "What kind of attitude is that? I'm your older brother!"
"Don't. I'm just a daughter from a branch family. I'm not worthy of that honor."
Xiao Cha gave him a half-smile. "Let's just go our separate ways and pretend we don't know each other."
Luo Xiaoyun's face turned pale, then green. He forced down his anger and said,
"We're family. We can say things in the heat of the moment. Your big brother won't take it to heart."
Xiao Cha was wondering why the good-for-nothing had suddenly changed his tune when Luo Xiaoyun continued:
"Here's some good news for you. The son of the Tooth Brokerage's chairman has been married for years without a single child. You've got wide hips and should be fertile. Marry him and bear him a child, and you'll surely rise in status through your son..."
"Fuck!" Xiao Cha finally lost her temper. "So you've been scheming to give me away as someone's concubine!"
