Compared to Li Beicheng's heartlessness, Yan Xiaye had no choice but to admit defeat.
She had originally planned to harden her heart and turn away, but hearing this, she couldn't help but pause.
If possible, even for Lu's sake, she wanted to do something for the little girl, but the conditions Li Beicheng proposed were ones she absolutely could not accept.
Noticing that Yan Xiaye hadn't completely given up, Li Beicheng subtly curved his lips into a smile: "Really not going to consider it? You should know that your choice determines the fate of a little girl. Won't your conscience feel guilty?"
The saying "a thief crying 'Stop thief!'" probably referred to situations like this.
Yan Xiaye closed her eyes, knowing well that saying more to someone like Li Beicheng was meaningless, yet she couldn't help but retort sarcastically: "Are you the one to say that to me?"
"I'm only reminding you, in case anything unexpected happens to the little girl, you'll regret it then."
