Infuriated, Qiao Hongxi sneered. "What's the rush? I haven't reneged on my promise. Get out of here!"
Songshi maintained his calm smile. "Young Master Qiao, it would be best if you accompany me to meet our Old Master and Young Madame. Otherwise, it wouldn't look very good if I were to show up at Hanlin Academy with the bet tomorrow…"
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had informed him about the arrangement.
Qiao Hongxi stiffened, his anger rising.
"How dare you!"
Songshi's smile widened. Why not?
Debts should always be repaid.
Qiao Hongxi cursed inwardly and glared at Songshi. "Let's go!"
He had no choice but to comply.
If Songshi truly appeared at Hanlin Academy with the bet, he would be left humiliated before his colleagues.
Qiao Hongxi prided himself on his knowledge and advancement, but many secretly harbored jealousy and ostracized him. If they were to learn of this situation, his situation would only worsen.
