Chapter 231: Sowing Discord

Aunt Zhang had prepared the meal, and under Ji Yuqiao's insistent request, Xie Changyan stayed for dinner.

Remembering Lin Xu's words that she didn't like her father, Ji Tingyang's expression was listless, his eyes tinged with a hint of dejection.

He couldn't believe she would abandon her father because of Xie Changyan.

Feeling his intense gaze, Lin Xu felt a chill in her heart and reluctantly picked up a piece of meat for Ji Tingyang, flashing him a forced smile.

Ji Tingyang struggled with the idea of not eating her offering as a form of protest, but after a short while, he still shamefully put the meat into his mouth.
