Do You Think It’s Appropriate?

Mr. Zhang immediately frowned, feeling uncomfortable from his mother's scolding.

He said, "I understand, Mom. Did you only call me to the study for this?"

Old Madam Zhang looked at her son and felt very helpless. He was usually quite shrewd, but he was too emotional at the moment.

She said, "I almost forgot about the important matter; the Li family has sent an invitation for Old Madam Li's birthday. Besides you and your wife, I also want to bring Zhang Xun and Nuannuan along. Prepare a few presentable gifts."

"Mom, aren't you going to bring Huanhuan along?" asked Mr. Zhang.

After all, the whole family was going. It would be a little overboard not to bring Zhang Huanhuan along.

She replied in a daze, "Do you think it's appropriate to bring a maid over on such an occasion?" 

"Mom, no matter what, she's still my daughter," he said unhappily. "Don't always treat her like an actual maid, okay?"
