Gu Yao glanced at her stepmother and said, "But I heard that you've already chased Jian Xing'er out of the Hou family and that Jian Xing'er and Hou Junlai have divorced."
Mrs. Hou immediately said, "It's very normal for young people to quarrel. Jian Xing'er and Junlai are just in a fight. When they reconcile, they'll naturally remarry."
How could Mrs. Hou tell the truth?
The inner clan valued them so much now. If she told the truth, the inner clan would be as disdainful of Junlai's family as before.
Gu Yao said, "I see!"
With that, Gu Yao went forward and held Mrs. Hou's arm as she said with a smile, "You're really lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. Let's interact more in the future instead of being distant. No matter what, we're from the same family, so we should have a good relationship. If there's any trouble in the future, we can help each other, right?"
Mrs. Hou said smugly, "Cousin-in-law, you're right. I think so too."
