Qian Shujuan found Cao Bencong's words increasingly reasonable the more she thought about them.
If Wan Yuwei and Hou Haoyu couldn't be together, it would indeed be a huge loss for both families.
"I'll give Yuwei another talk. On your end, make Haoyu take the initiative."
"No problem!"
Once the matter was settled, Cao Bencong left.
That noon, Hou Haoyu went to the county police bureau to invite Wan Yuwei out for lunch.
After being rejected, he waited for her after work that evening.
However, Wan Yuwei was noticeably fed up with his pestering.
"There's no possibility between us. Just give up already!"
Hou Haoyu remained resolute. "I don't believe you truly have no feelings for me anymore. You'll change your mind, won't you?"
Wan Yuwei couldn't be bothered to respond and went straight home.
Qian Shujuan barely managed to persuade Wan Yuwei with a few sentences before the typically obedient daughter suddenly exploded like a powder keg.
