Bab 823: Feast at the Shen Residence (2)

Chi Shuyan took in the dislike and fake smile in Mother Shen's eyes. After listening to her, she resisted the urge to roll her eyes. These words would have more weight if she were younger, but why would she want a mother now?

Even if she really wanted her father to find a companion, it wouldn't be that Shen woman. Chi Shuyan was about to speak.

On the side, Chi Lingyan couldn't help but speak first. "Madam Shen, I'm sorry, but I don't have any plans to remarry now. My daughter is still young, so I'm worried! Besides, I only have this one daughter. I'm willing to work hard for Yan Yan for the rest of my life. I'm sure Commissar Shen and Madam Shen would do the same for their children!"

Chi Lingyan didn't like Mother Shen's arrogance and bossiness. What did she mean by "it isn't easy for your father to raise and support you on his own," and that he couldn't toil his life away for his child?
