Meeting Dou Guozhong's astonished gaze, Zhou Yi continued calmly, "I'm guessing you're worried not only about your wife, Cao Jia, but also about your daughter working far from home. Am I right?"

"That person might also threaten you like this-even if you won't think of yourselves, you should think of your daughter. Don't let one bad decision destroy her young life before it has even had a chance to bloom!"
Dou Guozhong remained stunned.
It wasn't that he didn't want to speak. He simply had no words to describe how shocked he was!
