She knew better than anyone that this was the exact scene Shen Fanyun wanted to see. The moment a third party got involved, she feared her career and future would come to an end.

Yuan Zhao was perplexed, so he asked again, "Hu Meng, have you thought this through?"

Once we clarify the situation, the misunderstanding will be resolved. It's really not a big deal, so there's no need to call the police. We'll handle it ourselves."
"Alright," Yuan Zhao stated.
