Under the persuasion of Xia Chu and Ji Mingzhu, Lu Yiming also knew that time was pressing.
He must go home immediately to see his father.
Because there wasn't much time left for him, for Xia Chu, and for Huo Sijia.
So in the end, with reddened eyes, he said one last sentence, "Sijia, I will definitely give you and my sister-in-law an explanation, I hope you can at least give me a chance for a reprieve."
And he left, looking back three times with every step he took.
Only then did Huo Sijia, with trembling hands, quickly wipe away her tears.
She then took out a small mirror and lipstick to touch up her makeup, making it at least not obvious that she had just been crying.
Then she turned to Xia Chu, "Sister-in-law, let's go. We'll see Uncle Li first!"
Xia Chu had never seen her so resolute before; she truly seemed to have matured and transformed in a blink of an eye.
Yet her heart couldn't feel any joy or relief.
The cost of this growth was perhaps too great...
