Zhen Yan thought his sister was giving the 'bowl smashing signal'!
As soon as he heard the sound of the bowl breaking, he instinctively stood up immediately! And with a sweeping gesture, he sent most of the bowls, chopsticks, cups, and dishes on the table crashing to the floor!
"Zhen Yu! What are you doing?!" Mrs. Zhen was startled by the smashing of the bowl by Zhen Yu, her heart pounding!
She was so shocked by what followed from Zhen Yan that she couldn't even bother being amazed.
Not amazed is not amazed.
But however! But indeed!
Mrs. Zhen was furious!
Such behavior by her children was a blatant disrespect to her face! Mrs. Zhen was just about to open her mouth to scold them again for the sake of her dignity, but Zhen Yu suddenly stood her ground and said with a voice as solid as a rock, "The Gu Family's meal! Forgive my brother and me; we cannot afford it!!"
