What Liu Ying, the mother, says has no effect on Mi Lu at all, and even as her husband, Mi Shuhao doesn't appreciate it either.
"Why do you say so much to her? She doesn't consider me her father, nor this family. I want to talk about you too! Look at what you've turned Mi Lu into? She doesn't have a bit of the grace of a cultured young lady anymore." Ever since Mi Lu defied him, Mi Shuhao found himself increasingly displeased with Mi Lu.
Although she is his own daughter, Mi Shuhao has never had a good attitude towards people or things that have no utilitarian value to him.
"If you have me in your hearts, naturally, I have you in mine. If you don't have me, why should I care about you? It's exhausting!" Mi Lu really wanted to roll her eyes, she didn't want to sit here for dinner either! If she didn't have something to tell them, she would have eaten by herself.
