Lu Meifang said she'd handle matters for Ye Qiu, and she really got it done immediately.
Why wouldn't she take the money on offer? She had her own mother fake an illness, forcing Lu Mei Juan and Ye Yide to return to their hometown.
Their hometown had a rule: if the parents fell ill, usually the son would provide money and the daughter would take care of them. If anyone wanted to avoid this, they had to pay double the money.
Would Lu Mei Juan be willing to pay this money? She could only go home to take care of them. As for Ye Yide, with Ye Qiu's persuasion, Professor An ultimately decided not to pursue the matter, though he couldn't escape offering a formal apology and was left with a record.
On one hand, Ye Meng also feared her father might act rashly against Ye Qiu here, so she sent her father back with her mother. On the other hand, the family had no income lately, which frustrated her.
