Setting down her teacup, Emily did not intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Everything that's being said outside, I have heard it all, and you should take responsibility for my daughter, shouldn't you?"
"Lady Mother, hear me out, this is all just a misunderstanding, what you think is going on between him and me is not what you think it is."
When faced with Keke Ai before, Tico was of no use, swayed easily by her words. She did not want to repeat the same mistake, so when she saw her own mother, she got straight to the point, making her stance clear.
Yang Yu did not dislike this direct approach; he had indeed wanted Tico to broach the subject first. With Tico taking initiative, it spared him the unnecessary roundabout speech.
However, relying on Tico alone would be insufficient to handle the formidable presence of Emily, and it would take his personal involvement to secure the situation, with an inside-outside strategy.
