Chapter 2034: Falling Out (5)
Then, from Hong Ling’s little movements, confirm if she guessed right.
Now, Hong Ling’s little movements mean that she guessed correctly.
Madam Hong’s heart immediately became uncomfortable.
No matter what, they were from the woman’s side, and it’s fine if the Ruan Family didn’t receive them with the highest etiquette, but how could they bully her daughter? Isn’t this too dismissive of the Hou Family?!
"Tell mom, who bullied you, what exactly happened?" Madam Hong, in the end, wasn’t really seeking justice for her daughter; she mostly wanted to know what exactly the Ruan Family had done.
In her eyes, the three of them, as the woman’s family, should be treated with respect by the man’s family, and now not only are they not respected, but they’re being bullied? This is simply too much!
Hong Ling naturally wouldn’t mention anything that wasn’t to her advantage. She then briefly and selectively narrated what happened in the room, and after she finished speaking, Madam Hong’s face turned terribly grim, very much angered by Hong Ling’s words, feeling that Ruan Jiaojiao’s words were blatantly insulting her, openly saying she hadn’t taught her daughter any shame!
She got up from the bed, climbed down, and was about to go confront the Ruan Family. Both Mr. Hong and Hong Ling were startled and quickly held her back.
Hong Ling herself felt guilty; she wouldn’t dare let Madam Hong go confront them, especially because... she still wanted to marry Ruan Hao, and under no circumstances could their relationship with the Ruan Family become strained, especially not with Ruan Jiaojiao.
She wiped her tears and consoled her, "Mom, we might have misunderstood. Jiaojiao... probably didn’t mean that; she was just concerned about her friend, so she spoke like that... Mom, we still have to think about sister. She still needs to live here in the future, and if we fight with the Ruan Family, how difficult would it be for her?"
