Although Lin Aiqun didn't continue, it was enough to make Xia Chu feel guilty.
She apologized ruefully, "It's all because of me that Second Uncle and Second Aunt have been so troubled, I'm really sorry. Second Uncle, you said you've resolved it, but how did you solve it? It must have cost you a lot of effort and money, right? I can't replenish your energy, but I can repay the money. Let's keep things separate; you and Second Aunt mustn't be too polite with me."
Ye Xueming hurriedly said, "What are you talking about? Are you determined to treat your Second Uncle like an outsider today?"
Lin Aiqun also hurriedly smiled, "Xia Chu, I just couldn't help but complain a bit. I didn't mean anything else; don't overthink it. Right, wasn't Xiyao supposed to be back by around ten? It's already eleven and he's still not back. Why don't you give him a call to check?"
Xia Chu knew she was deliberately changing the subject.
