Lady Gu and her daughter Huahua had never taken Yeye seriously, and now, seeing her act so recklessly, supported by Manman at her side, they were both terribly frightened. In order for Huahua to marry into the Song Family, they had calculated every move, thinking their plans were foolproof. If at this final juncture Yeye were to ruin everything, that would be worse than death for them.
"Manman, Yeye," Lady Gu quickly put on a full smile and whispered to Manman and Yeye, "We are family, blood relatives, everything can be discussed. As the saying goes, 'Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face'; the word 'Lian' couldn't be written twice in the same stroke... please leave some leeway..."
Seeing Huahua so frightened she had lost her color, and Lady Gu stooping to say some appeasing words, Manman exchanged a glance with Yeye.
"Yeye, maybe we should just..." Manman said to Yeye.
