Seeing her mother-in-law's pallor, An Hao knew she must be fuming inside.
Indeed, what mother-in-law would be pleased if her daughter-in-law were pursued by another man?
Qin Jian saw his mother's displeasure and, fearing she would vent her anger on An Hao, hurriedly interjected, "Mom! This isn't An Hao's fault. It's not as if she welcomed the attention!"
Zhang Yun realized she might have been too angry and that her tone and attitude towards An Hao were out of line, which caused her son discomfort.
So, she softened her expression and said to An Hao, "I'm not angry at you! I'm angry at the bastard at the school who, knowing full well that you're married, still clings to you! It's outrageous! And he even threw down a what? A challenge? What right or grounds does he have to challenge Qin Jian to a duel?"
"Exactly!" Ning Yibin exclaimed in anger after reading the 'challenge' ― every word and phrase brimming with provocation towards his son and desire for his daughter-in-law.
