"But I advise you to give up!"
Ding Deyou said proudly, "With my daughter's standing, she's destined to marry into a wealthy family. A poor kid like you should stop daydreaming!"
"Exactly! Have you looked in a mirror? A toad wanting to eat swan meat? What a joke!" Wang Haixia immediately chimed in.
Seeing the two of them ganging up on Zhao Dong, Ding Lan finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Mom, Dad, that's enough!" she pleaded. "Zhao Dong has helped me before. He's not the useless man you claim he is. If you say one more word about him, I'm going to get angry!"
"Ding Lan! Are you trying to anger me to death?" Wang Haixia snapped. "He's trash, and you're defending him? Have you lost your mind?"
"Enough!" Ding Lan snapped, her eyes widening in fury. "Mom! If you keep talking like that, I really will get angry!"
Ding Lan was already resentful that Wang Haixia had forced her to break up with Zhao Dong. Now, that resentment was boiling over. She was genuinely furious.
