"There is only woman who seems to have gotten under your skin. Unfortunately, neither does she have good breeding, nor good sense. I can't believe that she is openly flirting and having a good time with a married man, like this. Does she have no shame? I can't imagine what is the Xie family thinking, letting their son stay in that place? It is so unfair to Mei Zhen. And that chit seems to have no qualms about it at all. Thank god, we have managed to see this side of her before she could fool you any further," she said pointedly.
Her husband, who had come at the breakfast table in the middle of the her ranting and guessed the topic, tried to warn her by clearing his throat. But Mrs. Wang was hell bent on driving her point home.
"I think I am old enough to handle my life's affairs. Like I had mentioned before, I don't appreciate your meddling nor do I require your opinion in this matter," he said stonily.
Mr. Wang intervened and told his wife, "have some faith in your son's judgement. As and when he needs our help, he will reach out to us."
She glared at her husband for interrupting.
"Are you both blind? That woman couldn't save her marriage, then tried to latch onto you and now has crossed all limits and is trying to break someone's marriage. What does that tell you about her character and upbringing?" she reiterated.
Wei had slept badly the night before and his mother's barbs weren't helping improve his mood. Usually he didn't let anyone's words affect him. But he was still smarting under Tang's bold claims from the day before. His own helplessness under the circumstances made him speak more harshly than normal.
"I suggest you choose your next words carefully before uttering them. I find myself low on patience today and don't want to say something which both of us may end up regretting later," he started, by warning her.
"As for how and why of Jia Li's actions, I don't see how do they impact you or anyone else for that matter. Considering that you are my mother by birth, I am going to accord you the respect up until you don't do something damaging to me and my loved one," he declared.
Mrs. Wang stood stupefied at her son's words. It was all because of that b**** that he was speaking to her like this.
Trying to save the situation from deteriorating any further, Mr. Wang intervened and said, "I think it would be best if we all took some time to reflect upon our behaviour today. Wei, I understand that you feel deeply for this person but please do not misunderstand your mother's emotions behind her words. As for you, my dear wife, I think as parents of an adult son, we have to show some amount of basic faith in our upbringing of him. Let's all show each other some respect, shall we?"
She harrumphed at the dissatisfactory outcome of the conversation but pursed her lips. Wei, on the other hand, was too upset to sit at the breakfast table anymore.
Picking up an apple from the fruit bowl, he said to no one in particular, "I am running late for work. I will see you in the evening."
"You are not understanding what I have been trying to tell you for the past few days, nor are you willing to look inside your son's heart. I agree that she may not be the ideal girl envisioned by you for Wei but she is the one he likes. Maybe you have been too preoccupied with your work in the past year or so else you would have registered the change in his demeanour yourself. There have been no link-ups with any of the starlets or socialites, rumoured or otherwise. His commitment to work has grown multi-fold. In fact, I am amazed at his capability level today, considering how disinterested he was in joining the family business," Mr. Wang said to his wife.
"And you want to give the credit for all this to that tramp? She sounds like a paragon of virtues. I simply can't wait to meet her," she responded ominously.
Mr. Wang shook his head in despair, "why can't you grasp the simple fact that you son is madly in love with that woman. If you try and hurt her in anyway, he would not forgive you."

"Can you stop staring at me please? It's distracting, to say the least. If you are bored, just go and take a walk around the place while I do my work," Jia Li told Tang, who sat brooding opposite her for the past hour or so.
All of them had met at the institute the next morning. While Chu and Ethan had gone in the neighbouring areas to explore the surroundings, Tang had insisted on staying back and "helping Jia Li" with the pending work.
