The older girl and the little boy withdrew their feet at the same time, turning back in perfect unison.
The next second.
Jiang Yourning looked away without hesitation, pretended she had seen nothing, and kept walking.
"Jiang Yourning, don't you dare run!!!"
They had only become friends yesterday, yet today Jiang Yourning was fleeing at the very sight of her. Chu Lange's eyes widened.
???
Jiang Yourning was baffled.
No way. Seriously?
Her disguise was this good, and Chu Lange could still recognize her?
Lord Wang, who had not gone far, also couldn't help turning around when he heard the name Jiang Yourning.
Meeting Lord Wang's gaze, Jiang Yourning jolted and hurriedly pulled Little Wukong around to go find Chu Lange.
She winked frantically at Chu Lange and deliberately raised her voice.
"Miss, did you see Sixth Miss Jiang here? We just collected a debt for her. Could you point us her way so we can claim our payment?"
Lord Wang furtively withdrew his gaze from Jiang Yourning and Little Wukong and began searching the surroundings for Jiang Yourning.
"Lan Gege, what a coincidence! What brings you here?"
Jiang Yourning lowered her voice, bared a mouthful of gleaming white teeth against her pitch-black face, and worked hard to produce what she thought was a sweet smile.
Instead, Chu Lange immediately recoiled two steps, looking physically repulsed. She frowned and said with distaste:
"Are your eyes cramping? And stop smiling. You're hideous! Did you really need to make yourself look like this just to collect a debt?"
"Lan Gege, you're a princess, a golden branch with jade leaves, but I'm poor. My monthly allowance is only twenty taels."
Faced with her disgust, Jiang Yourning spoke again slowly.
Chu Lange suddenly fell silent.
She felt Jiang Yourning was mocking her.
