Wang Xiangxiang became more and more convinced that this mother-in-law looked just like the beggar who had appeared at the entrance of Cloth Shop earlier. She couldn't help but voice her thoughts aloud.
As soon as she spoke, the room fell instantly silent. Wang Xiangxiang looked at the few people around her, noticing something off about their facial expressions.
It was over, she feared she had spoken out of turn. Even if that person was her mother-in-law, she shouldn't have publicly embarrassed her.
She had to think of a way to smooth things over and, with a smile, she said, "Mother, I just mistook someone else for you, I'm sorry."
"You didn't mistake her. It's her," Mr. Chu interjected at that moment, feeling that his wife's behavior was indeed inappropriate.
Mrs. Chu's face bore a hint of embarrassment, but as someone who had weathered many storms, this was nothing. Besides, she did owe up to her own mistake.
