Liao Chunxing's elderly mother lives with her son and his family. She is aware of his consistent unfaithfulness, specifically his affair with Jiang Jianchun. She has attempted to advise her son but he refuses to listen. She chooses to help cover up the affair rather than expose it. She is not satisfied with Jiang Jianchun, considering her inferior to the simple-minded nanny, but tolerates her because her son likes her. She deflects twin grandsons' questions about 'Aunt Chun' by saying adults have important matters to discuss.
