Chen Li was both angry and annoyed, yet Su Wenyue's words hit right at the heart of her thoughts, even causing a tinge of rage born from embarrassment. However, Chen Li's fury was but fleeting; she quickly regained her composure. Her purpose for coming today was not to pick a fight with Su Wenyue. Her previous actions were due to underestimating Su Wenyue's resilience. Seeing that direct confrontation was ineffective, she knew she had to change her tactics.
"Madam Han, you really have misunderstood me. I absolutely did not mean it that way. If Madam Han looks down on me, I will simply stay far away," Chen Li said, and without waiting for Su Wenyue to react, she walked away, not giving Su Wenyue a chance to retaliate—a wise move indeed. Chen Li realized she wouldn't gain favor in front of Su Wenyue, so she chose this method to gracefully withdraw.
