"Sister-in-law, my dad's out of town for the next few days. He won't be back for a little while. Since he isn't home, it's not really appropriate for you to stay here. How about this—why don't you come stay at my house for now? When my dad returns, I'll bring you to see him. You can say what you need to say to him then."
Gu'er really had no other option but to placate Liu Fang for the time being. She needed to discuss this with Lin Shan and Sun Jiaming to come up with a plan.

Liu Fang stared at Gu'er, as if trying to figure out if she was being deceived.
She knew Lin Shan wasn't in the city. She had already gone to the government building to look for him, but the gatekeeper told her he was away at a meeting. It was only after asking for directions that she finally found the Lin Family's residence and made her way here.
