Gu Zi could almost picture the spectacle that Li Li's fiance's family had made the previous afternoon. As Su Shen went to wash the dishes, she couldn't help but give Su Jing a thumbs up. "That was quite a move," she said, "Li Li is clearly no match for you."
Li Li was the type who wasn't particularly bright, yet harbored ill intentions. She had intended to outsmart Su Jing, but instead found herself outmaneuvered. She probably hadn't expected that, and Gu Zi wondered if she had come to terms with it yet. She suspected Li Li would soon be seeking retribution from Su Jing.
Worried that Su Shen might overhear, Su Jing quickly covered Gu Zi's mouth. "Please, Sister-in-law, don't let my brother hear about this."
They had spoken freely earlier, but had not mentioned that Su Jing was involved in the incident. If Su Shen found out, he might blame her for causing trouble for Gu Zi. She didn't want to be scolded, and was prepared to face the consequences of her actions herself.
