"Axiu, congratulations. You finally got your wish and married your daughter into the Jie Family," a neighbor called out.
'She's not congratulating me, she's mocking me,' Li Axiu thought. The son-in-law she'd wanted was Jing Si, but her daughter had ended up marrying Jing Er instead.
'She knew exactly what the neighbors were whispering about Jing Er divorcing his wife to marry Yaru. The Jie Family refused to discuss it, but the rumors tearing down the Lin Family were vile and almost too awful to bear.'
'And Li Axiu knew without a doubt that Liu Guihua was fanning the flames.'
Li Axiu hadn't caused a scene. The Lin Family was in the wrong on this matter, and making things ugly would only bring Yaru more shame.
"Yaru, let's talk at home." Li Axiu didn't wait for Jie Jingwei, simply pulling Lin Yaru toward their house.
