Bai Jinyi shook her head in disapproval. She said to Huo Guanchen, "Guanchen, we've waited for so long for Jinning to get better. Are you going to stand idly by and let this opportunity slip away? We have to double down on our efforts to cure her now that her condition is improving—who knows when our next opportunity will come, if we end up missing the boat on this one…"

Huo Guanchen pursed his lips. He glowered at Huo Shaoheng as he commanded, "What are you doing? Take your mother upstairs, now! Don't listen to the nonsensical babblings of outsiders."

He had used "outsiders," in the plural, but it was obvious that he was referring to Gu Nianzhi specifically.
