The old man said, "Then you can forget about going, it's not up for discussion."
Kang Chen felt like cursing his father for being so dense. How could they bring an outsider to such a highly confidential meeting?
Kang Chen became anxious, "Father, how could she go to such a meeting?"
The old man laid down the law, "She is your wife, there's no reason she can't go."
...
Fifteen minutes later, Kang Chen's car left the Kang family estate.
He looked at Ming Mei sitting next to him, his heart was filled with frustration...
Kang Chen carefully considered his current situation, he felt it was terribly awful. He had absolutely no standing at home.
By having Ming Mei pretend to be his wife, not only did he dig a hole for himself, he also completely stripped away his standing in his own family.
Ming Mei felt a wave of discontent coming from Kang Chen. She glanced at him and said, "Hey, don't hold it against me. I'm not willing either. I prefer to go home and sleep at this late hour."
