Bai Hehua's words allowed everyone in the room to breathe a sigh of relief. Bai Xue promptly stood up, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just drop it. You see, they're just kids. Don't mind their squabbles now; when they grow up, they'll still be close, since they grew up in the same courtyard."
"Exactly." Wang Danhong didn't delve further, almost as if escaping, "Bai Xue, we'll head back now then. When you have some free time, bring your niece to our place; I'll give her a tour."
"Okay, it's getting late, won't keep you any longer." Bai Xue knew her eldest daughter wouldn't be so easily appeased, wanting to send the guests away to better handle her family affairs.
Ye Ling remained silent after Ding Jie spoke, quietly watching the polite interactions in the room, observing Ding Jie's pitiful demeanor. Ye Ling didn't understand why she could remain so calm. As Bai Xue escorted everyone to the door, Ye Ling moved to stand in front of Ding Jie.
