"When I was released, I figured Boss Ming must have said something to the Emperor. Otherwise, I never would have gotten out." As Zhuang Ruyun spoke, she started to rise, wanting to kowtow to Ming Lingyi again.
Ming Lingyi had no particular fondness for being kowtowed to, so she reached out and stopped Zhuang Ruyun just as she started to get up.
"You were never really one of the Hu family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have sent that account book," Ming Lingyi said.
Zhuang Ruyun sighed, filled with emotion. To think that a decision she had made out of anxiety would end up being her saving grace.
"I came today to bid you farewell, Boss Ming," Zhuang Ruyun said.
Ming Lingyi had expected as much. Even before the Hu family's downfall, Zhuang Ruyun had mentioned her desire to return to Yangzhou.
