Why should she be concerned with a man who hadn't even shared a wedding night with Su Xiaowan? What could they possibly do to her if she simply spoke her mind?
Li Zhihong didn't care about Zheng Haimei's thoughts. He was set on his promotion and he could not afford any mistakes at this critical time, especially with rumors circulating that Director Zhou was to be transferred soon.
This was a crucial moment and he could not afford to lessen his vigilance.
So, he could no longer be lenient with Zheng Haimei.
Li Zhihong then issued a final warning to Zheng Haimei, threatening to send her back to her hometown to be taken care of by her mother-in-law should she insist on her single-minded obstinacy.
Merely hearing the phrase "mother-in-law" threw Zheng Haimei into turmoil, but Li Zhihong didn't even bat an eye, leaving Zheng Haimei sulking on her own.
The whole situation remained unbeknownst to Su Xiaowan.
