It wasn't long before the living room downstairs received a call from Shen Li.
"Mom, I want to ask you something."
After the exchange was complete.
Shen Li: "Okay, I understand."
"Was it Weiwei who called you?" Gu Yunxiu guessed at once, "Did she ask you to plead for her, didn't she?"
Shen Li didn't deny it: "Yes."
"You shouldn't get involved in this matter," Gu Yunxiu ordered directly, "You know your grandfather's temperament. Has he ever gone back on his decision? And he's still convalescing; he can't afford to get angry again. In the end, it's Weiwei at fault here, and this isn't the first time she's targeted Sister Zhi like this. The more you indulge her, the more excessive her actions might become!"
"Don't worry," Shen Li said, "I just wanted to find out what exactly happened. I know what to do."
...
After Shen Qiwei returned home, she anxiously waited for her elder brother's call.
Finally, in the evening, Shen Li's call came through.
