The old saying goes: "Marriage is set by the parents and sealed by the matchmakers."Naturally, she had a say as their mother, but these rules were set for other kids not working for her sons, especially her second son.

这自古常言说得好，说什么父母之命，媒妁之言。作为他的母亲，关于自己儿子的婚事她自然做得了主的。可是这些那是针对别家的孩子，对自己的几个儿子并不太适用，尤其是自己这个第二子。

"I think I'd better not interfere in this too much."She mouthed to herself. Looking at her son leaving leisurely and gracefully, she sighed with happiness and frustration.

等自己儿子离开后，她自言自语道：“我觉得这事我还是不便过多干涉才好，真是儿大不由娘呀。”望着如行云流水般离去的儿子，她半是感慨，半是高兴。

A conceited son must have an arrogant mother. She trusted her son's judgment too much, so she let him decide on his marriage. As her second son, he had been independent and intelligent since childhood and had grown up in a free-range parenting way.

自负的儿子定然也有个自负的母亲，她太相信自己儿子的眼光了，所以就真的放手让他自己决定自己的婚事，她这个二儿子自小独立聪慧，一直是放养式地成长的。

She had rarely had to worry about this child. Since childhood, he had been a mature and sensible child, and her second son was competent. If he didn't want to tell her, even if she wanted to, it would not be easy for her to find out.

这个孩子几乎没有让她操过什么心，他从小就是一个成熟稳重做事很有分寸的孩子，更何况自己这个二儿子可是个极有本事的，他不愿意说，哪怕是她想查也不是那么轻易能够查得到的。

She had always been a loving mother, and her son had always been filial. Why bother to do useless things to hurt their relationship?

她母子一直以来都是母慈子孝的，何必多此一举伤了母子感情呢？

She trusted her son and trusted her judgment even more.

她相信自己的儿子，更相信自己的判断。

……

That evening, she tried hard to fall asleep, but it did not work. She just couldn't fall asleep.

当晚，她很努力地让自己入睡，可是就是不管用，她就是睡不着。

She had to try her best to think about happy things and picture herself in beautiful places. So she could fall asleep.

她努力地想些开心的事情，想象着自己在一些美丽的地方，努力想着想着，一定要睡觉…

"You have to be brave and strong, and you have to sleep now. You will have the energy to fight back harder only by sleeping well.A tough battle will take place tomorrow."She whispered to herself as if hypnotizing herself.

她轻声地自言自语自我催眠似地说道：“徐芊芊，你必须要坚强，你必须要勇敢，你必须要睡觉，只有今天晚上睡好了明天你才有精力去回击那些害你的人呀！明天还有一场苦战呢！”

Since things have happened, you can do nothing by overthinking.

既然事情已经发生了，多想无益。

You must stay organized and eat regularly even if the sky falls.

即使天踏下来，你都要作息规律按时吃饭。

These people will surely have another plan. The boss planned this so elaborately. I don't believe she will let me be off the hook.

妈妈既如此精心筹谋设计于我，可见她是不会放过我的。

You will never be safe and sound as long as you are here. You have to leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be the same as these miserable girls they have harmed.

只要你还呆在这里，就永无宁日，永远都不可能脱身。到最后还是要像其他姑娘们一样被他们所害。

It's useless to be afraid. Today may just be the beginning. There must be more terrible moves. I must outsmart them and turn their plan to my advantage.

怕也没有用，今日恐怕只是一个开端，后面必有更狠的招。徐芊芊，你必须要以智力胜过他们，然后借力使力达成你自己的目的。
