On normal days, Liu Xin, who usually acts tough and arrogant, is now being beaten and doesn't even dare to make a sound. However, when Xiao Shiyao and Lu Xinyi finish chatting and Xiao Shiyao turns to look at Liu Xin, she meets Liu Xin's hateful gaze.
Lu Xinyi is so frightened by the intense hatred in Liu Xin's eyes that she steps back twice. Fortunately, Xiao Shiyao reacts quickly and stabilizes Lu Xinyi before she falls to the ground.
"Thank you, Shiyao." Lu Xinyi steadies herself, but her face is still very pale.
"We're family, there's no need for thanks," Xiao Shiyao says with a smile to Lu Xinyi.
However, Xiao Shiyao holds Liu Xin accountable for this. After helping Lu Xinyi sit down, she then approaches Liu Xin.
The few who were ganging up on Liu Xin automatically step aside to let Xiao Shiyao through.
