What was going on?
From how she had a thoughtful look on her face, shouldn't she have compromised and offered herself to him or at the very least, she should have turned a blind eye to what he did with Gu Lan and should have just asked him to leave?
What was the meaning of this slap?
He stared at her in confusion but when he saw the angry and heart broken look in her eyes, he pursed his lips, feeling a pang of guilt and sympathy.
"You came here and told me all this hoping I would also do what Lan'er did, didn't you?" She asked through tears, then shouted though her voice remained low so it wouldn't escape the confines of the shop,
"How could you!?! Don't you know how much I love your father… Even though he is no more, how can I betray him? Do you think my concern for the Gu family exceeds the love for your father?!!"
Max didn't respond and just stared at her with an understanding and sympathetic look on his face.
Slap!
