"Mom, if dad and grandpa heard what you just said, they would say you lack ideological awareness..." Mu Xiangwan shrunk back and glanced at Mrs. Mu, voicing a tiny protest.
Indeed, as soon as Mrs. Mu heard this, her well-maintained face suddenly darkened, her hand raised in anger, as if she wished she could slap her right there.
Mu Xiangwan knew her mother would never bear to hit her, and so with even more courage, she blurted out: "Mom, just don't meddle in our affairs anymore! I'm going to be with him for the rest of my life, and I won't interfere with his career and decisions. I've chosen this path myself, and I'll take responsibility for any consequences in the future! If you keep pressuring him, I'll get mad!"
From childhood, Mu Xiangwan had defied her family not just once or twice, but never before had she taken such a firm stand specifically against Mrs. Mu as she did today.
