[As far as he understands, insulted is a pretty appropriate way to feel. Designating Jiao Liqiao as 'dreadfully common' doesn't begin to return the insult in full, but it certainly is unexpected enough to get a small amused sound out of him anyway. She can't possibly know how funny that is, and he isn't about to explain, and that seems a waste honestly.]
[The rest is just a lot of confirmation and agreement that unfortunately isn't really called for; the lunacy he borrowed was barely adjacent, he doesn't need any of these assurances. He has maintained from the beginning that there's no point in targeting him. She's presumptuous, and weird, and probably some amount of dangerous, but probably not enough of any of these to do real harm for no benefit. Calling him endearingly willful inspires a fleeting expression of distaste but is a great example.]
I warned you she wasn't worth the curiosity. But she caused more trouble than her life was worth in the end. It's for the best you understand.
You're right that just saying so won't do much, but I don't know what would. Maybe there's no need now anyway.
