Yi Zhonghai was no fool. Listening to the Deaf Old Lady’s clear and logical explanation, his mind, initially clouded by fury, instantly regained a measure of clarity.
His tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed, and the anger on his face gradually faded, replaced by a sense of helplessness and frustration. Although the resentment he felt toward Xushu still burned like a raging fire within him, his reason told him that everything the Deaf Old Lady said was true. To rashly go and cause trouble for Xushu now would not only fail to secure justice but would likely land him in an even more embarrassing predicament.
He lowered his head slightly and sighed, silently conceding to the Deaf Old Lady’s perspective, while inwardly marking this grievance against Xushu with even greater intensity. Afterward, Yi Zhonghai and the Deaf Old Lady chatted for a while longer, their words filled with resentment toward Xushu and frustration regarding the current situation. When the Deaf Old Lady’s expression softened, Yi Zhonghai finally stood up, bade her farewell, and headed toward the Middle Courtyard.
