Mu Jingzhe was very busy. She didn't know if it was because the news of her recruiting more workers agitated Bai Qiang, but something happened on his end again.
Because the Li Family had held on and refused to give in, Li Fang refused to marry no matter what he did to tarnish her reputation. Hence, he changed his mind.
He said it was fine if Li Fang didn't want to marry him, but the Li Family had to compensate him.
The betrothal gifts, the money it had cost to marry Li Tao, and the money he had spent on Li Tao in the past three years—even the responsibility of the Bai Family not having a child—were all pushed entirely onto the Li Family. They even shamelessly asked the Li Family to be responsible for his second marriage. What an exorbitant demand.
That wasn't all. In fact, he even demanded the compensation to include Li Tao's salary.
