Zuo Aiai originally thought she could gloss over the situation, but she underestimated her mother's concerns.
As they were almost done eating, Mother Zuo finally spoke up: "Right, I've been thinking, you should still take us to meet that guy! If we find him unacceptable, we won't pursue it anymore."
"..." Zuo Aiai choked on a crab stick.
Weren't we having a good meal? Why bring this up again?
"Don't worry, we won't formally meet him; we just want to get a look at what he looks like from a distance," Mother Zuo said.
Zuo Aiai kept chewing for a long time, then looked towards Father Zuo: Dad, save your precious daughter!!
Father Zuo adjusted his reading glasses, then composed himself, entirely ignoring Zuo Aiai's pleading gaze.
Are you kidding? Who dares to go against the queen of the house!
Oh daughter, I'm helpless too!
More importantly... daughter, I also need to check out what the man looks like first!
In the end, this was the most stressful meal Zuo Aiai had ever had.
