The reason she contacted Xiao Zimo today must be because Xiao Hai said something to her. Given Xiao Zimo's understanding of Xiao Hai, he must have said quite a few bad things about An Ning.
But her mom didn't mention anything bad about An Ning in their phone conversation.
She hadn't met An Ning, but Xiao Zimo expressed earlier that An Ning was the woman he liked. However, considering what Xiao Hai had said, she was also doubtful in her heart. Yet her attitude made Xiao Zimo very comfortable. At least she wouldn't judge An Ning's character based on one-sided words. She was willing to make the long journey back to see and verify with her own eyes, rather than being deceived by unfounded rumors.
Of course, all of this was because Xiao Zimo said, "I really like her."
This showed that Xiao Zimo's mom was someone who respected and considered Xiao Zimo's opinions, unlike Xiao Hai.
