Ye Mengzhen was also furious. She knew better than anyone how her brother felt about Li Qianxi; she had even tried to probe Li Qianxi on his behalf before. Back then, Li Qianxi had coyly brushed it off, feigning shyness and playing hard to get, which led Ye Mengzhen to believe the feelings were mutual. After that, her brother had often asked her to deliver gifts to Li Qianxi. Since Li Qianxi never refused, Ye Mengzhen had come to regard her as a sister-in-law, treating her with total trust and affection. To think it had all been her brother's wishful thinking—and that he had nearly been labeled a "male homewrecker" for harassing her!
Consumed with rage, Ye Mengzhen turned her fire directly on Li Zhaoyang.
"President Li, you’ve been listening for quite a while now. Do you have nothing to say? My brother may be a bit dim, but he isn’t the type to pester people. If Li Qianxi had just given him a clear answer instead of stringing him along with ambiguous behavior, I am certain he wouldn't have bothered her."
