Mrs. Lu ignored the mother and daughter duo. Instead, she turned toward Jiang Yao and pulled her affectionately to have another look at her. Then, she scolded her a little. "Why did you lose so much weight? Did you study too hard and forget to take good care of yourself? Look at how much weight you've lost!"
Mrs. Lu's attitude toward Jiang Yao did not change because of the rumors in town. She even noticed that Jiang Yao had lost a lot of weight. Furthermore, her complexion was not too good; it was as if she had just recovered from a serious illness even though she had always looked a little frail.
"She did lose some weight," Mr. Lu chimed in. "Didn't Xingzhi say that Yaoyao is going to stay at home for a while? That's great. She can stay at home, and we can take care of her."
