He was now dreaming with longing, hoping that his father would quickly reincorporate him into the Xie Family again.
He'd had enough of living this way.
As long as his father could let him return to the Xie Family, he'd be as obedient as a quail, ready to follow his father's instructions and avoid causing any more trouble.
Seeing Xie Yumo injured filled him with hope.
Seeing their family in such pitiful straits, his father, after all, is still his real father. Maybe he'd feel pity for them and possibly let them return.
And so, over the phone, he exaggeratedly portrayed Gu Junzhu as being pompous and overbearing, and their family as being oppressed by her.
However, Senior Master Xie was not a man to simply take things at face value.
After listening to him, he remained silent, hung up the phone, and sent his trusted aides to investigate the whole incident.
