Chen Dong, his patience fraying at the edges, shot back, "Zhang Wei! Don't you think you're going too far?"
With a patronizing pat on Chen Dong's shoulder, Zhang Wei led him to a secluded corner of the room, away from the prying eyes and ears of the assembled family. "Brother Dong, it wasn't me who was going too far, but it was your sister," he confided, his tone serious, attempting to flip the narrative.
"What!?" Chen Dong's astonishment was replaced with a flare of anger, disbelief etching deeper into his features. "Do you really think I'm so gullible?"
Zhang Wei pressed on, undeterred, "She reached so far, that she reached the edge of the window. If I hadn't accepted her, she might as well have jumped and taken her life."
