"Mom!" Shen Hanqian, covering her cheek in mortification, looked at her mother, the other side of her face also scarily red.
"Don't call me mom, I'm not your mom. You don't listen to a word I say, why even call me mom?" Shen's mother roared angrily.
"I did listen!" Shen Hanqian tried to argue.
Shen's mother glared at her fiercely. "You listened? Then tell me, where have you been all day? You left Qiao Junnan in front of a crowd of relatives; do you know how embarrassed he was? How could you do something so shameless? You think just because no one says anything, no one knows what you've done? You know your second cousin loves to gossip about this kind of thing! How could your actions not anger Junnan, not anger us?"
"Mom, did Qiao Junnan say something to you?"
Shen's mother became even more disappointed in her daughter. "Why are you blaming him? The fault is clearly yours. Any displeasure he has today is normal and justified!"
"Did he lose his temper with you and dad?"
