The tense silence that had settled over the room didn't last long.
Bang!
Rina suddenly slapped both hands onto the table and stood up. She pointed an accusing finger directly at Xu Jin.
"You can't blackmail us!"
"This isn't right"
Her voice echoed through the living room.
Xu Jin didn't even flinch. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and smiled with complete innocence.
"Did I?"
He blinked once.
"When did I blackmail you? I can't seem to recall"
His expression was so genuine that anyone who hadn't witnessed the previous conversation would have thought he was the victim who was being abused here!.
Rina nearly choked.
"You—"
"You literally just did!"
"You threatened to tell brother Chen!"
"And then demanded conditions from us to safeguard our secret!"
"You don't even have the shame to admit it now!"
Xu Jin looked genuinely thoughtful.
"Hm..."
"I don't remember threatening anyone."
"I merely..."
"...proposed a mutually beneficial negotiation."
He smiled brightly.
