Her father wouldn't harm her. Guo Dongmei felt her father had a point.
"Dad, you're right. I shouldn't be so servile," Guo Dongmei said. "Whatever you decide, I'll go along with it."
"Good. That's my girl," Mr. Guo said with a smile. "You should all understand how the Li family got its start. A family like that isn't very stable. The moment Gu Qingyu finds an opening, the Li family will be wiped out. If we make our moves carefully and plot slowly, our foundation will certainly be more solid than theirs."
"Yes, Father," Guo Donghai said excitedly. "The Li family's foundation is indeed shallow. They rose to power by relying on a woman, so of course they aren't secure. Here in Jincheng City, the Huo, Wu, and Zheng families don't show off their strength, but their hidden power is immense. The only reason they haven't confronted the Li family or made any big moves is that they're biding their time and building up their strength, just waiting for the right moment."
