This chapter opens with Ling Ling's mother scolding her son for not coming quickly to help her daughter. She tells him to be obedient and not to worry about anything. Ling Ling asks her mother if she wants to introduce a new person to the second young master, and she tells him that she already knows who the new person is. When Ling Ling tells her that he already has a wife, the mother is shocked and tells Ling Ling to take a good look at the "devil." Ling Ling is horrified and tells his mother that he would never do such a thing to his mistress. He tells her to go to a club if he wants to, but she refuses to do so, saying that she wouldn't dare touch her. She asks him if he would like to discuss the matter with her, and he agrees.
