Respect

"…Taotao… well, that was all Ms. Zhang's fault. She confessed to trying to manipulate us. We have already expelled her from our family, and we assure you that nothing like this will happen again! We sincerely apologize and let's put this behind us. After all, we are still a family, aren't we?"

"Exactly!"

Ms. Fang had an overwhelming urge to strike the couple.

"Enough already!" Ms. Fang retorted with disgust. "Ms. Zhang attempted to manipulate you, and you fell for it. You are far from innocent. We are not a family, not even in your wildest dreams."

Shao Yunduan interjected coldly, "This is no laughing matter, Auntie Niu and Uncle Shao. Please go home and refrain from bringing this up again."

Yang Xiaoni rolled her eyes and said, "Ms. Zhang had no authority over the family, yet you let her words sway you? How gullible!"
