When Sang Zhi was away, Father and Mother Sang invite Duan Jia Xu to their home. They expressed their objection to the relationship because of the age gap and family issues.

She said to Jiang Ying that she had time and money to waste on Duan Jia Xu. His father’s fault was not his and Duan Jia Xu had been trying to make it up for it. He was innocent and the accident was not an excuse for Jiang Ying to hurt Duan Jia Xu.
