This is not the time to be squeezing in for a lively scene (look at the commotion). It's outrageous.
Ming Mei: "Excuse me, please…"
As a young woman squeezing in, she had an easier time.
People, embarrassed by the gender differences, didn't want to be seen as getting into a situation that might lead to gossip, so they made way for her. Zhuang Zhixi, however, didn't manage to follow her; he was still stuck at the very edge of the crowd, surrounded by layers of onlookers, and could barely see what was happening inside.
Ming Mei squeezed in alone and reached Zhao Guihua's side, asking, "Mom, are you okay?"
Zhao Guihua: "I'm fine, of course. But we need to protect this girl. We absolutely can't let anyone take her away. If they do, it's over."
Ming Mei: "Got it."
