Li Guodong took two more deep breaths and said, "If you ask me, you should go to the Du family and apologize to Wenting. Let your father-in-law beat you a couple of times to vent his anger. They are all educated people. Wenting isn't unreasonable. Go and talk to them properly."

Seeing that his son wouldn't even look at him, and that it was no use repeating the same thing over and over again about how going to the Du family was pointless, Li Guodong knew that there was no hope with the Du family.

Li Guodong raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yujie standing next to Li Shaojie. "Wenting is such a good girl. Knowing that my legs aren't good, she even gave your mother and me the big house in Chaoyang to live in. Even the money given as a wedding gift was initially given to us by her. Knowing that we didn't have any cash on hand, she even offered to give us money to live on. Where can you find such a good wife?"

Li Guodong's words were too much for Xiao Yujie to bear. She hated Du Wenting the most. If it weren't for her, Li Shaojie would have married her. Besides having a good father, what did Du Wenting have that she lacked? Even Fang Minghui was just a clown all day, only knowing how to amuse her. What could Du Wenting do besides putting on an act? At least she was sincere; what did Xiao Yujie do?

Xiao Yujie said, "Well, we have a small courtyard that's currently empty. Why don't you move in there first?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guodong smiled, revealing his yellowed teeth. The wrinkles on his cheeks resembled three deep ravines, connecting his eyes and chin into a single line.

After discussing it for a while, they finally agreed that Xiao Yujie would go to the hospital to ask for leave first, since she couldn't work today anyway. Then she would take them to her family's courtyard. After settling them in, she and Li Shaojie would go to the Du family's house to retrieve their belongings.

Xiao Yujie was so preoccupied with figuring out how to arrange things for Li Shaojie and his family that she didn't notice the way Li Yumei looked at her, as if she were poisoned.
