Lin Jie sent Huo Guangheng and Lulu away, and called Xiao Ganghao, who was waiting outside, in.
Taking a glance at him, Lin Jie noticed that his spirits seemed to have improved; he didn't look as gloomy as he did a few days ago. Casually, he asked, "So, what brings you here? I hope it's good news."
Xiao Ganghao scratched the back of his head, a bit embarrassed, and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you, teacher."
"Teacher, after constant persuasion from my uncle, my mother finally agreed to the conditions Manqing proposed. We will live separately and not together."
"Hmm… during festivals, we will spend them together."
This is considered good news, and Lin Jie felt a sense of relief wash over him.
He sighed lightly and said, "Though it's not the best solution, at least there's an outcome."
"Perhaps over time, as they understand each other more, your mother will truly accept Manqing."
"Do you have any plans for the next step?"
