From Sina Weibo:

@伟大的安妮: My parents came to visit me in Beijing.

Comments from Sina Weibo:

谁允许你如此高冷：

Anny, post ads, I won’t unfollow, smooches.

回忆专用小马甲：

( ¯ ¨̯ ¯̥̥ ) It’s my turn, to be the one you depend on!

Why is Anny dear so popular? It’s precisely because Anny’s “Three Views” [views on the world, life, and values] are very proper.

上等小佚：

Anny, accept advertising…so uncle and auntie [her parents] can stay in a large hotel. This is what is what you and they deserve for moving all of us [with your work].

小爱败子：

Now I know why you don’t buy shoes, love u.

丛林中的小蜜锋：

Anny, hurry and put out merchandise. We are all willing to let you make money.

歪了个歪了个歪小姐：

Which is why when you buy mobile phones or anything for your parents you never tell them the price…

About Chapter 5, what I want to say is actually your mom watching that upper-class lady for so long wasn’t because she envied her clothes but because she wanted to see why that woman was sitting there for so long without anyone with her, while she herself was so fortunate to have her daughter and husband beside her~

快奔三的小康：

Actually they’re probably just anxious for a grandchild…

My mom also just recently came from Guangdong up to Dongbei [Northeast China] to see me, which is farther than where Anny is. When she was buying clothes for me, she said to me: “There may not be many years left for me to buy you clothes before you’ll be someone else’s [married]. I want to buy you more clothes while you are still mine.” I turned my head around and fell silent. To always love her [my mom], this is the one thing I can do.
