Linda was probably stunned by the slap from Madam Zheng, so her reaction was slow. It took her a while to respond, "It's all Leng Youchen's fault, he's the one who made me break my leg. Mom, can you make him marry me, please?"
Madam Zheng was disappointed, how could she not see it even at this point? If Leng Youchen had even a tiny bit of affection for her, he wouldn't be so heartless.
"Linda, stop being so stubborn. Leng Youchen never belonged to you, and he never will. Can the pain of a broken leg not make you see reality? Is he the only man in this world, and you can't find anyone else to love?" Madam Zheng's values were still sound; she understood that forcing something would never make it sweet. Besides, Leng Youchen was not someone they could force even if they wanted to.
Now, she genuinely regretted not stopping her earlier. Had she corrected her view on love in time back then, today's tragedy might have been avoided.
