Although she might have a thick skin, she definitely hadn’t reached such an extent, okay?!
This matter was really... the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. She simply pushed Meng Yuhuai aside, took off the apron she was wearing, and dashed out the door, grabbing hold of Meng’s mother and pleading in a torrent of words, "Mom, I need to go see Old Master Wang right away.
