Why Should I Try?
It seemed as if Wang Yue and the others' thoughts were written all over their faces. Knowing he couldn't keep it from them, Fang Duobing said sheepishly, "All right, all right. I'll tell you the truth. Feng Qing called me over just to ask if I'd seen my uncle!"
Wang Yue, Qiao Wanmian, and Su Xiaoyong all understood what was going on. Feng Qing had only been looking for an excuse to let Fang Duobing go. After all, Fang Duobing was Dan Gudao's only son.

Qiao Wanmian sighed helplessly. "Now that Li Xiangyi is Fang Duobing's uncle by marriage, Shi Shui can finally give up."
It sounded as if she was speaking about Shi Shui,
