Lady Meilin is seduced by her green tea brother-in-law everyday

There were some sounds of pity from the audience. The sad hum of "Awww’s."

Mei Mei waved her hands, "No, no, no. You should not feel sorry for me. I am always telling my daughter that sometimes, it is okay not to be okay. It is okay to cry when you are having a hard time. It is okay to seek comfort in the arms of those who love you.

I was not okay on that day because something frightening had happened to me. But my eyes were opened and I vaulted out of the snake pit in the end so, no pity for me."

One person applauded and then others followed, one by one. Mei Mei sipped some tea, as did Rize and then the interview continued.

"You hurry home to your daughter, your ex-husband shows up and you end up nearly dead from a head wound." Rize gestured to images on the screen of Mei Mei in the hospital when she was going in for surgery and after.

One picture clearly showed Jingzhe in a shirt that had smudges of blood, comforting Mingzhu.

Another picture showed Chi Lian with red eyes, in the embrace of her husband Muyang, facing the closed doors of the operation room.

PD Rao and Ruoxi were the brains behind this move. The old videos had been seen dozens of times by people. What they needed to see was something fresh. Like the picture of Jingzhe, bloody and worried. Mingzhu’s red eyes and the naked fear on her face.

The grief of a family that was not sure if their daughter would make it or not. The union of a family at a time when one of their own was hurt.

And the gamble worked! The audience expressed a lot of interest in the images. Some actually hoping to see them for longer.
