Ding Huizhu ignored him and turned her head away from him.
Xie Sidu's gaze darkened slightly: "Are you determined not to go back?"
His tone remained gentle and refined, his manners impeccable, as if all the compromises he had made with her before would be followed by him embracing her and gently coaxing her.
Ding Huizhu hardened her heart: "Ziyuan is my precious darling. The Xie family has been too cold-blooded and heartless towards her. From her birthday banquet and coming-of-age ceremony to the current incident of changing her engagement, Xie Li has been pressing her step by step and targeting Ziyuan repeatedly. If Xie Li does not apologize, this matter will not be over."
After thinking it over, she ultimately decided not to force Xie Sidu and the Xie family to apologize.
The Xie family certainly made a mistake, their mistake being protecting Xie Li. But Xie Li had indeed been targeting Xie Ziyuan, with malicious intent.
Besides, neither of them is willing to admit defeat, and they are both very stubborn. In order to maintain each other's dignity, there must be a way for them to back down gracefully.
Xie Li is that step.
Is it difficult to get Xie Li to admit his mistake? Xie Sidu was able to bring him here, so getting Xie Li to come over and apologize and make a statement should be a piece of cake.
Xie Sidu was silent for a moment, then said, “Since you don’t want to go back, then you can have a good New Year at the Ding family’s house. Consider these gifts as New Year’s presents I prepared for you and Ziyuan.”
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Butler Wu led the servants to put down the gifts in an orderly manner and leave.
Ding Huizhu was completely dumbfounded: "You're not planning to take Ziyuan and me back to the Xie family for the New Year?"
Xie Sidu had already gotten up to leave, but paused upon hearing this, "It's because you don't want to go back."
She doesn't want to go back? Why wouldn't she? She just made a condition, wanting a way out. Is that so hard?
Xie Zian had already followed Butler Wu out. After Xie Sidu finished speaking, he turned around and left briskly, his steps as light as the wind.
The living room was instantly emptied, leaving only Ding Huizhu sitting there, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave, trembling with anger.
On this important day of family reunion, Xie Sidu refused to yield an inch to her, his attitude remaining so hard and cold. Does he even still have her in his heart?!
Grandma Ding originally wanted to go out and have Ding Huizhu give Xie Sidu a good talk, preferably throw a tantrum and scare Xie Sidu hard, so that it would be much easier for her to make demands and suggestions when she came back, and to ask for things and money.
After all, she had always used this trick very well in the past, and Xie Sidu was most afraid of Ding Huizhu making trouble for him.
Before they could even take two steps in the courtyard, they saw Xie Sidu leaving with the Xie family's servants!
She couldn't stop him no matter how much she shouted. She chased after him for a few steps and ended up inhaling a bellyful of car exhaust fumes!
When Grandma Ding turned back and saw Ding Huizhu still sitting there, she was immediately furious: "Ding Huizhu, are you out of your mind? How could you make Sidu leave like that?"
In Mrs. Ding's mind, Xie Sidu was like a grasshopper being held in Ding Huizhu's hand.
Whether to fry or deep-fry is entirely up to Ding Huizhu.
She was chasing after the car just now, and Xie Sidu wouldn't stop, which shows how angry she was.
It must be because Ding Huizhu's attitude was too tough; she refused to go back no matter what, and she was being too difficult!
Old Mrs. Ding was so angry that her chest ached. "You idiot! Today is New Year's Eve, and instead of going back to the Xie family for the New Year, are you planning to stay at our Ding family's house?"
Ding Huizhu was upset and didn't want to argue with Old Mrs. Ding, so she got up and went upstairs. "Mom, please let me have some peace and quiet."
Her tone and demeanor today were perfectly appropriate. Xie Sidu left so ruthlessly; the blow she suffered was no less than that to Old Madam Ding.
