Saifei observed her son, sensing his discomfort upon realizing that their entire conversation had unfolded live. Concerned, she turned to Cass and gently inquired, "Are you okay?"
Cass met her gaze, nodding affirmatively. However, Minglan's demeanor shifted, her eyes darkening as she exclaimed, "He's clearly not okay! He should be placed in a mental institution. You heard our entire conversation, so you know he tried to harm himself."
Saifei, displeased with Minglan's outburst, narrowed her eyes and delivered a sterner slap. Minglan tumbled to the ground, tearfully questioning, "How can you treat me this way when you've raised me?"
In response, Saifei retorted, "How could you do this to our son? The only reason you're here is because Cass asked us if you could move in."
