"And my mother, my mother who sent Ye Xingbei to a brothel, she indeed made a grave mistake. But she's still my biological mother. She's birthed you three children. You handed over your wife to your enemy, hoping to placate his anger. Even if the Shi family survives this crisis, how could you still face yourself? How can our Shi family still maintain face in society? We'll be laughed off and it will be the death of us!"
"What about the future?" Shi Maotong grinds out through gritted teeth. "Ah Jun, if I don't do this, the Shi family will have no future. We'll be left with a broken home and ruined lives. What future is there to discuss then?"
"Ah Jun, no matter whether it's your mother or your sister, none of them are innocent. We're acting for the greater good. No one will laugh at us."
"Dad, stop deceiving yourself," Shi Shijun's features twist in agony. "We will be laughed to death, surely people will ridicule us!"
