Song Xi suddenly raised her right hand, as if a student had finally found the answer to a question.
Upstairs, Lou Yuming raised an eyebrow and watched her quietly.
Shao Cheng quickly hung up the phone and walked over, "Who?"
Song Xi's sharp gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on the short-haired girl who had been speaking vehemently just now.
At the same time, Anna's fingers tightened, gripping the railing.
Her guilty reaction did not escape Lou Yuming's eyes. His brow furrowed slightly, and his voice was a little cold, "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"
Anna stared intently at the scene below and gave a sheepish smile, "It's still... early, I'll keep you company!"
Lou Yuming's eyes curved into a cold arc.
Song Xi's accusation left the other party flustered. The short-haired girl defended herself, "You, you can't just make wild accusations! I don't know anything!"
Song Xi said calmly, "I remember your voice."
Especially when visibility is unclear, a person's hearing amplifies several times its usual capacity.
The short-haired girl still refused to admit it, "Young Master, I am truly wronged! I've worked hard in the Shao family for three years, you must believe me!"
Shao Cheng's expression was displeased, and he asked Song Xi, "Are you sure?"
Song Xi nodded, "Sure."
Just then, a WeChat message arrived on his phone. After Shao Cheng read it, his eyes turned cold, and his voice became exceptionally stern.
"Since you've been here for three years, you should be aware of the Shao family's rules."
He threw the phone at her, "I don't need to elaborate on what the surveillance footage captured. Butler Liu, escort her out!"
The girl's legs went weak upon seeing the surveillance footage.
Didn't they say the surveillance was broken due to the heavy rain!
Shao Cheng took off his glasses, wiped the water droplets from the lenses, and sneered, "Is it difficult for the Shao family to restore a few surveillance feeds?"
That's right, this was the Shao family!
One of the most prominent affluent families in A City, how could they be fooled by such a small trick!
The girl panicked. Just as she was about to say something, she met Anna's beautiful, chilling gaze.
Her small face turned pale, and she felt choked as if by a fishbone.
Without daring to explain further, the girl was dragged away by Butler Liu.
Shao Cheng walked over and stepped on the phone. The usually refined and elegant man surprisingly exuded a sharp aura for the first time.
"Don't harbor any wicked thoughts within this mansion. Grandmother is kind-hearted, but I am not!"
Everyone said in unison, "Yes!"
With this matter settled, Lou Yuming was about to go downstairs. He glanced back at Anna, who was still standing in place, and suddenly said in a deep voice, "It seems your Shao family doesn't discipline your servants very well."
Anna's expression froze, "No, Yuming, this has nothing to do with my brother. He's rarely home, so please don't blame him."
She was quite adept at shifting the focus.
Lou Yuming cast a cold glance at her and turned to leave, "This matter truly has nothing to do with him."
Anna felt there was a hidden meaning in his words, yet she didn't think he wouldn't know about it. After all, she had deliberately chosen a blind spot in the surveillance when instructing that servant. Thus, even if the surveillance was restored, it wouldn't have captured her.
And that girl, she probably wouldn't dare to expose her even if she were given ten thousand gallons of courage!
So, although Anna was flustered, she was more concerned about Lou Yuming's attitude towards Song Xi.
She took the initiative to catch up and asked, "Yuming, isn't Song Xi Zhang Qi's girlfriend? Why didn't you help her just now?"
"How do you know I didn't help?"
Anna froze on the spot.
Later, after the crowd downstairs dispersed, Song Xi specifically approached Shao Cheng to thank him.
She thought his actions were a gesture of making peace.
But she hadn't expected Shao Cheng to say expressionlessly, "Don't misunderstand, I just can't stand seeing people cause trouble in my home."
It seemed he truly disliked her.
Song Xi gave an awkward tug at the corner of her mouth.
Shao Cheng suddenly asked, "Did you break up with Old Lou?"
