Li Xi clutched her handkerchief, her gaze slowly shifting towards her two brothers, clearly moved.
Li Xi couldn't help but shout, "Gu Mei, stop giving your mother bad ideas. She's married, how can she just go back to live with her family?"
Gu Mei chuckled and said, "But my father is gone."
"He's said to be missing, but it's been so long, he must be gone. My mother is a widow now, isn't it just right for her to return to her family?"
Li Xi, hearing Gu Mei's words, shook her head in fright. "No, your father... he wouldn't."
Gu Mei, with a cold face, "You're dreaming."
"I advise you to wake up fast!"
"It's been a year. If he wasn't dead, he would have come back by now!"
"And you've squandered all of our family wealth. Even if he were to come back someday and see the state of the house now, he'd divorce you!"
Li Xi burst into tears.
Yun Jiao watched Gu Mei coldly; it seemed her resentment towards Li Xi was no less than her own.
