He Yue was chilled to the bone by the phrase "outsider."
She felt as if she had fallen into an ice pit, cold seeping into every part of her body, even into the seams of her bones.
He Yue pleaded as she looked at Qian Du.
But Qian Du kept his head down and remained silent.
Yet, Ms. Qian He had some feelings for He Yue.
She smiled and said, "It's different for you. You have to manage a whole household and deal with numerous matters. How could you have the spare time to keep me company? Yue Niang has nothing to do all day; she can keep me company sewing and chatting. If you think Yue Niang eats too much, just subsidize her from my monthly salary."
Having said this, if Tian Meixiang objected further, it would be disrespectful.
Reluctantly, she agreed to let He Yue stay.
However, Tian Meixiang's attitude instilled a sense of crisis in He Yue.
Fearing she might be sent back to the countryside, she made a grave mistake in her urgency.
