Ye He Ping was worried about his younger daughter, blissfully unaware that Ye Qian was scheming her own plans.
Ye Qian was unaware of her mother's return to her hometown. After their last argument, her mother hadn't sought her out again. To Ye Qian, this was a good thing, but she was also aware that her mother wouldn't endure for long without seeking her out. So, she didn't take it to heart, thinking her mother was just putting on airs, waiting for her to coax her.
She had no idea that her mother had gone back to her hometown and had lost her warmth for her daughter.
Bai Xue had given so much, loving only this one daughter from childhood, but she hadn't expected such words in return. Bai Xue didn't care how others talked about her or judged her. But to have her youngest daughter think of her and see her in such a light was indeed a heavy blow to Bai Xue. It made her see clearly what her daughter's attitude towards her truly was.
