After making the call, his attitude returned to its usual arrogant and unrestrained self.
"The Luo family will give us an explanation." At this point, his sense of superiority returned. "Ziyuan, don't worry, if it is verified that Luo Zhihan interfered, I will make him come to apologize to you in person."
"This matter cannot be left like this!"
That's what they say, but today's banquet is destined to be just a hasty affair.
After all, there are still guests here. Even if they don't like it, they can't just cancel and leave. That would be a complete disgrace.
After finishing the banquet, the mother and daughter, along with the Ding family, returned to the five-star hotel where they were temporarily staying.
Upon entering, Old Mrs. Ding's face immediately darkened. She had been trying to save face in front of the Shen family in the banquet hall and had been holding back, but in reality, she was furious.
"Huizhu, what are you thinking? How long are you going to let Ziyuan be bullied?"
Ding Huizhu paused for a moment, her smile tinged with bitterness: "Mom, seeing Ziyuan being bullied makes me very sad too..."
Old Mrs. Ding stared intently at her with her aged, cloudy eyes: "Are you in pain? You've been in a daze these past few days, doing nothing for Ziyuan!"
Grandma Ding was dissatisfied with Ding Huizhu's inaction. "Why don't you go and push Sidu a little, and show him your determination and attitude?"
If you ask Old Mrs. Ding, Ding Huizhu is just too weak-willed. She softens up when she's with Xie Sidu. She doesn't even realize that men are all the same. If you back down, they'll take advantage of you.
Xie Sidu used to be so obedient, but the more Ding Huizhu did, the more cautious he became.
Now, Ding Huizhu has become as meek as a clay figure, and has actually settled down to live in the Ding family home.
Who has the patience to support another freeloader? Don't they know this is a strategy, a tactic to force the Xie family to admit their mistakes and apologize?
Ding Huizhu: "I..."
She had pressured Xie Sidu before; when the company called her to ask about project information, she hung up immediately.
She had taken the documents with her on purpose, thinking that since the project was so urgent, Xie Sidu would find out soon, which would give her a way out and he would come to pick her up and take her back to the Xie family.
To her surprise, Xie Sidu didn't contact her at all. It was only after she called her assistant that the assistant revealed that Xie Sidu had looked into the project's progress and related information, and had his assistant and secretary piece the information back together.
Ding Huizhu understood perfectly well that Xie Sidu wanted to show her in this way that he was not controlled by anyone.
She didn't want to bow down to Xie Sidu at this time, but for Xie Ziyuan's sake, she really couldn't let things continue like this.
"Mom, I understand. I'll go see Brother Du later."
Grandma Ding was finally satisfied: "This time Xie Li has gone so far. Who knows how much money she spent and how many people she bribed? It's all Xie family money! I don't believe Sidu wouldn't care!"
"We must make sure the Xie family punishes Xie Li properly. He's so young and he's not learning anything good. All he does is cause internal strife."
"Make her come all the way to the capital and apologize to our Ziyuan."
——
"Send Xie Li to the capital to apologize?" Xie Sidu's voice was slightly low on the phone.
Ding Huizhu declared firmly: "Xie Li must apologize!"
She paused, then softened her tone, "Brother Du, I understand you want to protect the Xie family's reputation. But Xie Li has really gone too far this time. What did Ziyuan do wrong? We've all come to the capital to hold her coming-of-age ceremony, and she still keeps pushing us. Is this the Xie family's way of raising children?"
Xie Sidu: "Are you done talking?"
