Lady Zhou felt embarrassed, unable to save face, so she pretended to faint, hoping someone would come forward to either comfort her or take her out of the room, thereby removing her from the awkward situation. However, Lian Lanlan still asked Lian Manman for help, unwilling to leave like this. If she left now, this visit would have been in vain. She might not have the chance to come again, as Lian Manman might not let her in.
Knowing her mother well, Lian Lanlan didn't believe Lady Zhou was actually in trouble. Besides, even if something happened to Lady Zhou, it wouldn't be as important to her as her husband and son.
Lian Lanlan and Lady Zhou were similar at heart, adept at distinguishing priorities, and never soft-hearted. Lady Zhou's absence wouldn't greatly affect Lian Lanlan, but if anything happened to her husband or son, her life would be over.
