Chapter 153: Bright Prospects after Adversity_1

"I don't need company."

Meng Xi'er retracted her gaze, rubbed her temples, and turned to the butler, "Please send them back."

"This..."

The butler hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Miss Xixi, this is an order from Master Lu, please... don't make it hard for us."

His tone held a hint of pleading desperation.

To these people, perhaps Lu Yebai, like her, was an person too sublime and remote to reach, inspiring awe and fear in them.

Meng Xi'er hesitated for a minute before finally lifting her head to look at the group of people standing before her.

Each one was a carefully selected young girl, all pretty and particularly in a neighborly way.

Suddenly.

Meng Xi'er was momentarily startled and gasped in surprise as she recognized one of the girls in the crowd.

Noticing that Meng Xi'er had spotted her, the girl excitedly waved at her and then politely fell back into line behind the others, pretending to be an obedient young maiden.

How...

How can she be here?
