Personal Ambitions

"Hey! You're really becoming downright outrageous!" Brother Huang couldn't take it anymore. He pointed sternly at Brother Duan. "The fact that she lost both her parents and can't even talk about them is a pain she'll suffer for a lifetime. How can you make it sound like a good thing? 'No annoying in-laws?' What are you thinking? Are you even human?!"

Brother Duan shrunk back at realization that he may have been too cruel. He quickly bowed to Brother Huang for forgiveness. "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I was just saying that. I didn't even think about what the joke meant. I only said it to you because I know how close we are so just forgive me this time for being an idiot. I didn't mean to make fun of her!"
