"Are you out of your mind? Does it even matter what I say?"
"Is there a place for me to talk here?"
If it were a different setting, Ren Zhong would have a myriad of ways to calm her down and even borrow some money from her.
But at this moment, Ren Zhong was quite troubled.
He had already entered Lin Wang's core circle and was quickly approaching Yang Bingzhong. He didn't want to appear too close to Ma Xiaoling in public.
If this straightforward woman said more than she should in her anxiety, Ren Zhong's plans risked going up in smoke.
He couldn't even use a temporary measure to stabilize her, like saying, "Go back first, and we will talk when no one is around."
That would still expose him.
This gullible mayor Ma Dafu indeed had a sharp-witted daughter.
A collaborator with such low emotional intelligence indeed made him anxious.
So Ren Zhong just turned his face away, staying silent.
Seeing him like this, Ma Xiaoling looked both regretful and angry.
