How could Bai Jingli not hear the schadenfreude in his voice? She suddenly roared at him, "Don't make sarcastic remarks here. My mother found out the truth. The Li family suddenly changed their attitude all because of you.
"Who knows where you offended people? On the outside, no matter what they say, we are a family, so they targeted me instead.
"At first, we wanted to save you some face, so we didn't say anything. I didn't expect you to be so unreasonable, so there's no need for us to cover up for you anymore.
"It's clearly your fault! Why should I be the one to bear the consequences for you?"
Bai Jinglie said, "You can't just spout nonsense. I've lived a very simple life all these years. Where would I go to offend anyone?"
Ever since he was forsaken by the Holy Emperor, few people were willing to associate with him.
"This is what I found out from the people I sent to investigate," Bai Jingli said sternly. "They made it very clear. The Li family is just returning a favor."
