The couple walked away, but even from a distance, Mrs. Guo's fierce interrogation about where Xu Shiniang had hidden his private stash of money could still be heard, along with his endless complaints and cries of injustice.
Seeing that his father was not faring well, Xu Yanlin, afraid that the fire would spread to him, quickly pulled Miss Huang away too. Chang Yao and her sisters felt it inappropriate to openly watch the elders make a scene. They could only smile playfully, bow to Xu Suying, and leave together with Xu Yanhe.
Once everyone was gone, Xu Suying poked Yao'an's forehead. "You brat, it's truly your father's great fortune to have a son like you. He isn't young anymore, and he has suffered his whole life. Now that his days are finally getting better, can't you wish him well?"
Yao'an argued defensively, "How am I not wishing him well? I was just afraid you two would get a divorce."
