"Who knew she'd still dress like a country bumpkin, making my lie fall apart on its own, and causing me such embarrassment in front of your sister-in-law, utterly losing face!"
"You should listen to me, send Mom back early, so she doesn't make you lose face too."
"Anyway, no matter what, my wife and I can't afford to lose face, so we won't be showing up to host her."
On the other end of the line, Su Zhiqiang rambled on endlessly.
Su Qingqing exploded instantly, eyes wide with anger: "If you don't want to host, then don't, acting like someone would care. And listen to what you're saying, how could anyone with a conscience say that?"
"No need to think too much about it, just listen to me, hurry up and send Mom back."
"Otherwise, not only will I be humiliated, but you too will lose face in the upper circles of the Capital City."
"Alright, that's it, I'm done talking!"
"Ah, it's all Mom's fault, causing me so much frustration."
