It's understandable that Li Shengmei was thinking of her maternal family; given that in the He Family, He Hongjun had clan members, but no direct relatives, so Li Shengmei arranged for Yang Zhonghong to return to her maternal home.
Now that Li Shengmei had spoken her mind, both He Hongjun and He Xuexiang fell silent, only then did Dong Meihua realize that Li Shengmei had been harboring this plan.
The next morning, Gao Guo Cheng spoke up, "I don't know where these rumors started, but I hope they stop here."
Gao Guo Cheng didn't say much, but with those words, he seemed to disassociate himself from the matter, although everyone knew that it was Li Shengmei who had instigated it. Some even wanted to tease Gao Guo Cheng, but he had already left.
Then, Yang Zhonghong purposely met with Yang Xuehua and said, "You did right to refuse, rest assured, Li Shengmei won't be able to trouble you."
