The Second Day, Part VI

Wu Meiying’s eyes lit up as Wu Jian finally stepped into the fight. He had been watching from the sidelines to give Mei Xilan a chance to accomplish her goal, but he had finally stepped in now that it was obvious she would lose.

“It looks like that young man is finally going to make his move,” said Zhe Dāozhe, leaning back in his chair. “I was wondering if he would. He was just standing there the whole time.”

Smart woman. She’s quite perceptive.
