Chapter 216 A Good Play Unfolds One After Another
Luo Qiao had no objections, she nodded as a sign of agreement, and only then did the onlookers disperse.
After everyone had left, Lu Yichen silently returned to his own courtyard and closed the large gate. When he turned around, he saw Stone standing there in the yard.
Lu Yichen asked, "Why aren’t you asleep? What are you doing out here?"
Stone looked at Lu Yichen and said, "Of course, I’m just like you, brother, worried about sister. But sister is so amazing, she isn’t afraid of that bad secretary at all."
Lu Yichen patted Stone on the head, "Those words can’t be said outside."
Stone said, "I’m not that silly."
At Gao Shunyi’s home, the neighbors on both sides were startled by the sound of bowls being smashed. Li Xiulan and Gao Rulin had recently spent a lot on medical bills, depleting the family’s savings, so Li Xiulan wanted Gao Taohua to marry off soon.

Gao Taohua didn’t fancy the man to begin with, and upon overhearing Li Xiulan telling Gao Shunyi that the family was now short on money and her promised dowry no longer counted, she stormed in angrily, knocking to the floor the bowls and plates from the meal that had just been finished and not yet cleared to the kitchen.
