@coralie Greedy ones. The parents were probably eyeing Wu Xiubo’s money and hoping that one day he’d leave his wife for their daughter and their whole family would benefit financially. He easily used the allure of a big financial payoff (“breakup fee”) to get Ruby to return to China and fall right into his trap. The apple does not fall far from the tree. Xiubo’s wife enjoys financial stability and probably doesn’t want to rock the boat for the sake of their children. She’s probably been aware of her husband’s indiscretions over the years, but has other priorities.

Ruby’s parents admitted that she was actually born in 1988, making her 30 years old instead of 25. Imo, neither party deserves any sympathy.
