"She wasn't acting passively... she was atoning for her grandson's sins... she must have had a tough few years, right?"
“It’s tough, it’s tough… Over the years, whenever she earns a little money, she uses it to pay off Coach Ma’s brother-in-law’s debts. Although she seems glamorous on the surface, we outsiders can’t see the bitter tears she shed behind the scenes!”
I sighed, and after a long while, I said, "If Coach Ma has feelings for her and she is loyal to Coach Ma, it would be good for them to be together."
"I'm just afraid I won't be able to get over this mental hurdle!"
...
After hearing Coach Ma's story, I felt incredibly heavy-hearted. Then I remembered how Coach Ma worked tirelessly day and night to open the small bar. I finally understood: he desperately wanted to redeem himself. What he needed wasn't to make a profit from the transfer fee. He wanted to run a business honestly and sustainably. His two older sisters must have wanted the same thing for him.
Although Bai Lu had once said that if the inn was sold, she would go with him to open another bar in the ancient city, he had a hurdle in his heart and was definitely unwilling to go out and do business with Bai Lu alone. Otherwise, why didn't he invest in Bai Lu's previous bar?
Thinking about it more deeply, he was probably also considering Bai Lu's reputation. It's fine for so many people to work together; but if it's just the two of them going out alone, the nature of the situation is very different. After all, Bai Lu is not divorced yet, and both of them are really preoccupied with other things, so it doesn't seem legitimate no matter how you look at it!

Tie Nan avoided my gaze, and after a long while, he replied, "Yes... Putting aside Coach Ma, just talking about Sisi... I also feel sorry... I really dislike this feeling of letting others down..."
"Me too... I've been so distracted all day, like I've done something wrong... You know, Coach Ma has already been screwed over badly enough, and we, the people he treats like brothers, are going to hurt his feelings!... Think about it, he's the one who's really having a hard time!"
Tie Nan remained silent. When he spoke again, he had already changed the subject. He said to me, "Michael, we've been through thick and thin together... Don't keep things from me... Tell me, Sisi, does she like you?"
