Ma Zongyu is indeed running out of money.
The million in his account was squandered here...
Song Zihua took a drag of his cigarette and laughed, "Ma, didn't bring enough money, eh? Want to give Mrs. Ding a call for some funds?"
Ma Zongyu boasted and bragged excessively, claiming he was the master of the house, the one in charge, elevating himself and demeaning Ding Suzhu.

Ma Zongyu found himself unable to save face and responded angrily, "Who, who wants her..."
