Mrs. Zhou was also startled by her, only now regaining her senses. Seeing Jingyi's resolute expression, she realized that her daughter had made up her mind. If she did not concede, she feared Jingyi might stir up trouble! Since childhood, Jingyi's stubborn nature could be curtailed momentarily but never for a lifetime!
Mrs. Zhou, thinking it over, felt her heart turn to ash. Her resolve waning, she covered her face to wipe away her tears, saying, "Enough, enough! I, as your mother, have always wanted only what's best for you! Instead, I pushed you to the brink of death—this was never my intention! Let's not speak of this matter anymore. After the new year has passed, we will discuss it again. If by then, you still refuse to budge, we will never bring it up again. Please, stop fighting with me! It's like you're stabbing me in the heart!"
