What if it affects Xie Ziyuan's career development in the capital?

Xie Li paused, then calmly walked over to the sofa and sat down: "I can stay out of this."

Grandpa Xie also came over and sat down, shaking his head and sighing, "I can still hold on, I'm not that fragile."

In the past, his body might not have been able to hold on, after all, he had just had the toxins removed and had hosted such a grand banquet. At his age, where would he have the physical strength?

Xie Li had been using the Fangxin Soup to repair his bones and muscles for a while now, and he was still full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue.

The servants promptly served tea and snacks.

Xie Sidu personally lifted the lid and skimmed off the foam for Old Madam Ding: "Mom, it's already very late. Why don't you stay the night? I'll keep you company and have a good talk with you tomorrow."

He was all respectful and polite, as if he were still the same good son-in-law who always listened to and obeyed Old Madam Ding.

Old Mrs. Ding sneered repeatedly. She had suffered so much anger and grievance, and Xie Sidu could not simply brush it off.

"What, you feel guilty now? You were so arrogant when you kicked people out before, I thought you looked down on the Ding family and didn't want to acknowledge us as relatives!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's better if you don't admit it. This old codger of mine will only annoy people if I say too much. Huizhu, tell the servants to pack up quickly and come back to the Ding family with me!"

This statement was a blatant threat to Xie Sidu. If the Ding family were to take Ding Huizhu away tonight, things would likely end badly.

Given the Ding family's temperament, if the Xie family doesn't offer a grand apology, the matter won't be resolved. In that case, Ding Huizhu's short stay at her parents' home will turn into a permanent stay.

Ding Huizhu was, after all, the matriarch of the Xie family and the biological mother of Xie Zi'an and Xie Li. Old Madam Ding's actions were intended to put the entire Xie family in a difficult position.

Xie Sidu's expression remained unchanged. "It's getting late now. Even if you want to go back to the Ding family, you can go back tomorrow. I'll personally take you back then. I also want to go back to the Ding family with Huizhu for a couple of days."

He effortlessly turned the tables, and incidentally made a good impression on the Ding family.

Grandpa Xie also spoke up: "Yes, my dear in-laws, Sidu has been abroad for a while, and Huizhu has been busy taking care of the Xie family's affairs. They really should go back to the Ding family to visit."

The father and son were very polite and tried to appease the situation, but Old Mrs. Ding couldn't accept it.

She threw such a tantrum, do you think the Xie family can just get rid of her so easily? No way!

"You Xie family, don't push your luck!" Old Mrs. Ding stood up abruptly. What's the point of drinking health tea? She's already full of anger!

"Ruoxu, Huizhu, let's go! The Xie family is treating the Ding family like fools. If you still consider me your mother, then leave now!"

Xie Sidu had no choice but to get up and stop her, saying, "Mom, please calm down."

Ding Huizhu was angry for a while, but when she saw Xie Sidu, her anger subsided considerably. She knew her husband's character well. First, she was furious that the Ding family and the Huo family had joined forces to pressure Old Master Xie; second, from a business perspective, he was just trying to get on good terms with Jian'ou Capital and Zhenye Group!

"Mom, don't be angry. Du Ge knows he was wrong. I know you're standing up for me and Zi Yuan. Zi Yuan went to the capital, and her birthday is in a few days. We can make it up to her—can our two families go to the capital to celebrate Zi Yuan's birthday and coming-of-age ceremony?"

I believe that after Xie Sidu made her lose so much face today, he will definitely agree to this plan.
