Meng Chuyue did not personally send Meng Yuzhu home.
She dispatched two young-looking waitresses, who could pass as Meng Yuzhu's classmates, to escort her home in casual clothes.
The waitresses, following Meng Chuyue's instructions, left as soon as they reached the doorstep without seeking out Meng Yinhua to lodge a complaint.
Meng Yuzhu was resolute; seeing the situation, she did not divulge her near violation to her family.
Instead, she claimed she had encountered a thief and that Meng Chuyue had helped her.
Meng Yinhua believed it to be true and was just about to admonish her for running away from home rashly when he heard her say, "Dad, I know my mistake. I will study hard in the future. I will earnestly read the set of books you bought for me."
To err and then correct the error is most commendable.
Meng Yinhua sighed, "It's good that you realize your mistake. That set of books isn't useful even if fixed, just forget it, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
