I’ve never seen you take such an interest in anyone before. What’s so special about that Ye Jiuliang...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped mid-sentence when he met Li Mochan’s narrowing eyes, and he shrunk back as a chill crept up his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it necessary to look at him with such a deadly stare just for gossiping a bit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He awkwardly changed the subject, \"Asheng is coming back today; let’s get together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mochan hummed in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Yi looked at his lukewarm attitude and felt his heart ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such are the woes of picking the wrong friends.\u003C\u002Fp>",1339,"2026-05-30T05:18:55.480Z","2026-06-01T04:30:24.264Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ef784d44cdf43d905c3047fab8055d80d35bf36212d223e70649753fdce254b","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-27","the-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-chapter-25",877,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-of-the-prestigious-family-is-a-big-boss-cover.jpg"]
