"Who do you think you are to mess with me? Don't you know who I am? I'm the daughter of the Sixth Elder. If my dad finds out you dared to treat me like this, he'll make sure you pay for it... uh!"
Before she could finish her tirade, she looked up and saw Elder Zhu's somber face, which scared her into swallowing the rest of her words.
"Elder... Elder Zhu."
Cold sweat started pouring out, and she curled herself up like a frightened quail, daring not to be arrogant anymore.
"What, are you going to make me pay for it? Hm?" Elder Zhu looked at Shen Yuan, his gaze even sharper.
"No, no, Elder Zhu, you misunderstood, I... I didn't mean it that way." Shen Yuan couldn't afford to admit it. If facing someone else, she wouldn't regret saying it and would even feel smug.
But this was Elder Zhu in front of her. Even her father had no choice but to take reprimands obediently when facing Elder Zhu, let alone her?
"As long as you didn't mean it."
