The sudden voice sounded especially jarring in the private room.
Everyone turned to see Xu Youyue step out of the crowd, her pretty face icy.
Although Hu Lijing had mocked Jun Wangchen earlier, Xu Youyue was a woman too. She simply could not stand by and watch Hu Lijing be violated before her eyes.
A glimmer of hope suddenly crossed Hu Lijing's despairing face, but when she saw that the speaker was Xu Youyue, it faded again.
Clearly, she did not believe a delicate young woman like Xu Youyue could rescue her from this nightmare.
Qin Shousheng and the others immediately paled, inwardly cursing Xu Youyue for failing to read the room.
