What mother could tolerate her daughter being treated this way?
"It's not about how many people are chasing after my daughter," Yan's mother fumed, fishing a cellphone out of her apron pocket and threatening to call the Xu Family. "No, I just can't swallow the fact that my daughter was deceived and taken advantage of! They can't just dump her without any explanation; that's unacceptable!"
Yan Bing didn't want any more involvement with Xu Ming and desperately grabbed her mother's arm. "Mom, I've agreed to the breakup. Please don't call them!"
"How can I not," Yan's mother insisted, "I need their family to apologize to me!"
"Mom... even if we can't be together, what's the point of an apology now!"
"People live for their pride, trees live for their bark. Without a face to show, how could one go on living? You and Xu Ming have been together for years, and they knew about it; they were fond of you. How can they decide to just drop you like that?"
