Shen Nian shook her head at Lu Xinyue, stopping the words she was about to say.
She then turned to look at Zhuo Jiayin, whose face was filled with guilt. It was because she had concealed the truth from Shen Nian.
'After all, she's a future partner. I have to know what kind of person she is!' In truth, Shen Nian was intentionally testing Zhuo Jiayin.
'But for Lu Xinyue to risk my anger to plead on her behalf... it seems the bond between these two girls is genuinely strong.'
Shen Nian was happy for Lu Xinyue, seeing she had such a good friend.
"Don't cry! I said I didn't want to sell the designs, but I never said I wouldn't partner with your family!"
Seeing Zhuo Jiayin's expression, Shen Nian worried the girl might actually burst into tears if she didn't say something soon.
"Huh?"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Zhuo Jiayin and Lu Xinyue both stared at Shen Nian in astonishment. 'Could there be another way to partner, other than through the designs?'
