Zhu Chanyao lowered her head. She had to admit that Zhu Enfu was right. She had acted rashly this time. It wasn’t that Zhu Yanyi couldn’t return to the main family, but they should have told her in advance. If they had obtained her consent before revealing everything, it would have been natural and proper. But she had acted on her own without telling anyone in Zhu Shunyao’s household. Thinking of this, a sense of shame rose in her heart. Over the years, as their lives had improved, she had gradually become arrogant, forgetting some basic principles of being a person.
Seeing his expression, his father, Zhu Enfu, knew exactly what he was thinking. A father knows his son best. Zhu Enfu said, "It seems you have finally understood."
"Dad, what should we do next? I have already offended Brother Shunyao," Zhu Chanyao said, his face full of guilt. Now that he was clear-headed, he knew exactly where he had gone wrong.
Zhu Enfu said calmly, "Don’t worry. I know Shunyao. He will be very angry because his bottom line is his wife and children. As long as you don’t cross that line, he won’t do anything to you. He is a grateful person. For my sake, he won’t take action against you."
"Hearing you say that doesn’t make me feel at ease," Zhu Chanyao said with a bitter smile. Knowing he was wrong, a trace of guilt stirred in his heart, making him feel sorry for his brother.
"Who told you to do that? You made the bitter fruit yourself, so you must taste it yourself. Don’t worry, it won’t kill you. It will just make you feel guilty for a while," Zhu Enfu said with a smile. "Besides, don’t we know what Ani can do? Her vision is bigger than anyone else’s here. Even if the main family comes here, they might not succeed in plotting against her. So when the main family arrives, we will receive them warmly as usual. We don’t need to feel guilty. We have already told Shunyao about this. As for the result, it is no longer our concern. After all, we and the third branch are only clan relatives. Ani’s parents are not us, so we can’t control everything. We have done what we can. The result is not something we can decide."
Indeed, the older ginger is spicier. After Zhu Enfu spoke these words, admiration filled Zhu Chanyao’s eyes. He had followed his father for so many years, yet he still couldn’t learn this kind of wisdom.
Zhu Enfu knew that doing this was somewhat unfair to Zhu Shunyao’s family, but it was the best way now. It was good if she could return to the main family. If she couldn’t, it didn’t matter. They were living well here anyway. The specific result depended entirely on Zhu Yanyi.
As the key person, Zhu Yanyi was currently busy contacting her dormitory roommates and her teachers. Fortunately, one month before graduation, everyone had left graduation messages, and most had left their contact information. Seeing that the addresses were not far, Zhu Yanyi simply asked Luo Gang to drive her and Zhu Yanli to visit them one by one.
The roommates naturally agreed without hesitation to attend on time. However, knowing that Zhu Yanyi would go to Kyoto for high school, they felt both envious and reluctant to part. After all, they had been together for three years and originally thought they could continue to be together. Besides the roommates, the most important people to invite were Zhu Yanyi and her sister’s homeroom teacher, the principal, and other subject teachers.
