"I... may I say a few words?" Yue Hui spoke up.
"Of course, Miss Yue. Please, share your thoughts," Zhou Rongli replied with a gentle smile.
The elderly lady and others turned their attention to Yue Hui.
"Actually, this is originally your family matter, and I shouldn't interfere, but seeing everyone troubled by it seems unnecessary and not worth it. From Mr. Jiang's attitude, it's clear he doesn't want to get too involved. Zhou Laotai, I understand your feelings; you naturally wish for harmony among everyone. However, the reality is different. Please don't put your daughter and your grandson in a difficult position. To be honest, as long as Mr. Jiang is willing, your Zhou family could easily become a top family in Huaxia. You should align more with Mr. Jiang's wishes; his actions are guided by reason and will not be wrong," Yue Hui said, clearly standing from Jiang Chen's perspective and treating his principles as sacred.
Hearing Yue Hui's words, Zhou Rongli nodded in agreement, while the elderly lady pondered in silence.
Noticing that the elderly lady still seemed uneasy, Yue Hui continued, "Zhou Laotai, as the saying goes, 'It's better to resolve grievances than to deepen them.' Your three sons were at fault first; at the very least, they should apologize. Instead of you stepping in to plead for them, it would be better for them to come and apologize personally. Only with an apology can there be any chance of easing the situation."
"Miss Yue is right," the elderly lady finally nodded. "I will call Mediocre now and have him come to apologize."
Zhou Rongli remained silent; since the elderly lady was determined, she couldn't keep refusing.
However, Zhou Rongli couldn't guarantee what would happen with Jiang Chen.
"But Zhou Laotai, you must be mentally prepared. From my understanding of Mr. Jiang, even if your three sons apologize sincerely, the final outcome will still be that they can escape severe punishment but not minor consequences," Yue Hui added seriously.
The elderly lady smiled bitterly; she was merely Guan Waipo and perhaps less effective than an outsider's words.
She took out her phone and called Zhou Pingyong.
At that moment, Zhou Pingyong and others were in the hall, pacing anxiously; today's outcome had been a complete disaster for him.
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan were now thoroughly panicking.
"What else can we do? At worst, we just avoid Zhou Rongli and keep our distance from their family," Zhou Pingyong tried to act nonchalant but lacked confidence.
Yesterday Jiang Chen had said he would make him wish he were dead; given Jiang Chen's capabilities, he could definitely do it.
Saying he wasn't afraid would be a lie.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Zhou Pingyong looked at it; it was a call from the elderly lady. He had no choice but to answer it reluctantly.
The elderly lady urged him to come quickly to apologize to Zhou Rongli's family. Still unable to swallow his pride, he eventually went to find the elderly lady at her insistence.
Once inside the private room, the atmosphere became tense as Zhou Pingyong and others entered, but Jiang Chen was not present.
"Eldest son, second son, third son—apologize to Rongli," the elderly lady commanded sternly.
Zhou Pingming and Zhou Pingnan hesitated no longer; with their elder brother clearly unreliable now and hearing the elderly lady's reprimand, they quickly steeled themselves to apologize to Zhou Rongli.
Zhou Rongli's expression was pale, showing no reaction.
"Mediocre," the old lady growled.
"Big Brother, stop being stubborn and quickly apologize to Rongli."
