On Saturday, Yang Sheng visited Le Tong's home as promised, but Le Tong's attitude towards Ji Rui hadn't become any friendlier because of it.
To this, Yang Sheng listened to Ji Rui's complaints several times, yet couldn't help him, only saying, "Tongtong turns terrifying when she's angry. I don't dare provoke her either."
Yang Sheng was quite self-aware, knowing that even Baobao hit a wall on this, he'd only have a worse outcome trying himself.
Le Tong was busy alone in the kitchen, while the three men huddled in the guest room discussing the matter. Yang Sheng and Baobao tried to give Ji Rui some advice.
"Rui, Tongtong has a soft heart. Perhaps you could try the 'injury feigned' ruse?"
"No way!"
Unexpectedly, both Ji Rui and Baobao firmly rejected Yang Sheng's suggestion.
"Why not? You've never tried it after all!"
The father and son exchanged glances, clearly reading similar things in each other's eyes.
"She'd be heartbroken!" Ji Rui said softly.
