Chapter 383

Xie Jingyao keenly sensed the Du family’s glares growing increasingly icy, and his scalp tightened instantly. *I haven't done anything truly heinous, have I?* he wondered. *Is it really necessary to look at me with such severity?* Xie Jingyao maintained a composed expression, though in the span of a few minutes, he had undergone more than one internal brainstorm. He combed through his few encounters with Du Yuxi, realizing he had barely exchanged a few words with her, let alone started a conflict. The only instance of friction had been their first meeting, when Du Anrao immediately implied that his fiancée’s heart belonged to another, giving him a taste of the humiliation of being cuckolded at a young age. At the time, he couldn't stand seeing the "little sister" he had grown up with be slandered like that, so he had retorted with a bit of a sharp tongue—but that was it. If he had offended this entire family over that alone, Xie Jingyao felt he was truly being treated unfairly.
