Chapter 290 : Lure by Pretending to be Indifferent

• Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi quickly said to Old Lady Huo, "Yes, at first I didn't believe it either. But at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Jingran brought that woman along and in front of me and Yao Dong, he asked her to be his girlfriend. However, that woman rejected Jingran. I don't know where she gets her sense of superiority from, thinking she's so desirable."
• Old Lady Huo narrowed her eyes slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't you just tell me that Jingran was infatuated with that woman? How come now you're telling me that she doesn't like Jingran? If neither of them likes each other, why doesn't Jingran come to visit me?"
• "Mom, you don't know. Although that woman pretended not to like Jingran, she's actually living in his house now. They're living under the same roof, playing a clever game. She's quite skilled for her age, using this strategy of luring by pretending to be indifferent." Bai Zhi said sarcastically.
