Father Zheng noticed her anger, reached out to stroke her back, and helped her calm down. He said, "Madam, I've never asked anyone for anything in my life. These past few days, I've begged everyone. What expressions haven't I seen? But since our daughter caused trouble, we must stand by her no matter what."
"But what if it really was Wei Anning's scheme? She's retaliating against our daughter?" Mother Zheng insisted.
Father Zheng rubbed his temples, completely unable to comprehend women's unreasonable antics. "Given Ah Chen's attitude toward Miss Wei, why would she expend the effort to deal with our daughter? Besides, with that child's recent food poisoning incident causing them such distress, would she have the mood to scheme against our daughter?"
"What if she does have the mood for it?" Mother Zheng persisted unreasonably, although she also understood deep down that Wei Anning didn't seem like a scheming woman, otherwise she would have spoken more eloquently earlier.
