Upon hearing these words, Gu Zi couldn’t help but chuckle. She retorted without hesitation, “Just because our family has money, it doesn’t mean we should solve your problems with it. What kind of logic is that? If Su Jing had asked Li Li to bring the braised pork for her fiancé’s family and neighbors to taste, leading to the current situation, the Su family would have taken responsibility without your prompting.”

“But I’m sorry,” she continued, “Your daughter Li Li had a standoff with Su Jing, and everyone heard it. Su Jing told her to take the recipe and study it herself. It was Li Li who took the initiative to take the recipe to her fiancé’s house in the city. The consequences of her actions are her own, and our Su family has no reason to foot the bill.

“As for the fight just now, everyone saw it. Su Jing hit Li Li, and Li Li hit Su Jing back. If they were to discuss compensation, it would be a never-ending argument. I suggest they both step back, keep it simple, and take care of their own injuries.”

Gu Zi’s words made the situation seem as if it had never happened. The crowd was not surprised; this was typical of Gu Zi.

Li Li’s mother’s plan to have Gu Zi solve the problem with money fell through. Faced with the eloquent Gu Zi, she couldn’t think of any counterarguments.

Then, the onlookers, eager to please the Su family, began to persuade the mother and daughter to let the matter rest, as it was Li Li who had provoked Su Jing in the first place.

After all, Li Li’s broken engagement was indeed a result of her own actions.

And the demands for compensation from her fiancé’s family and neighbors were something Li Li had to face and resolve herself. The Su family did not accept shared responsibility.

Unable to argue, the mother and daughter had no choice but to let the matter drop. After the crowd dispersed, Gu Zi went in to check on Su Le.

She felt sorry for Su Shen. He could finally be understood by his sister, right? Although he might not need this understanding now, Gu Zi felt relieved. Because Gu Zi was not the kind of person who advocated doing good deeds without leaving a name, Su Jing should appreciate the kindness her brother had shown her.

That night, Su Jing couldn’t sleep for a long time. She seemed to realize that her family was not as bad as she had imagined. Her seemingly cold and indifferent brother was, in the eyes of others, someone to be envied.

Unable to hold back her tears, Su Jing sobbed, “I’m sorry, brother, I’ve misunderstood you all along.”

She couldn’t bring herself to say these words to Su Shen, but she had to voice them. If she didn’t, she would feel uncomfortable. Su Jing suddenly felt that Li Li’s nature was not entirely bad. At least now, she had a deeper understanding of her past misconceptions.

Su Jing felt that perhaps she should really think about it. In the future, she should have her own path to follow, rather than staying here, relying on her brother’s life, and causing trouble for her brother and sister-in-law.
