"Sorry. Because of me, a perfectly good gathering turned into this." As soon as Li Yun left, Lie Changfeng stepped forward to apologize.
It was clear from Lie Changfeng's expression that Li Yun had dealt him a heavy blow. He had even begun to doubt some of the friends who had approached him in the past.
