Wang Yuan and Li Qiong were surprised to see Hua Yusen so on guard against Guo Dongmei. When they saw Guo Dongmei looking so embarrassed she was on the verge of tears, they felt she was rather pitiable. After all, she was just a young woman who had come all the way from distant Jincheng City to see her fiancé, only to be met with a cold shoulder instead of a welcome.
'Ugh, Hua Yusen is such a scoundrel, two-timing her like that!'
Although Wang Yuan and Li Qiong were annoyed by Hua Yusen's behavior, they remembered he had saved them last year, so they couldn't tell Guo Dongmei the truth. However, Li Qiong privately decided she had to have a serious talk with Zhao Nuanyue.
Guo Dongmei sat in the courtyard, occasionally stealing glances at Hua Yusen's room with a dejected expression.
When Zhao Nuan Yang and the Little Red Carp returned, the courtyard was silent.
Zhao Nuanyue continued tidying the courtyard, her demeanor calm.
