Although there were some twists and turns at the banquet, overall, it was quite satisfactory.
The guests had either expanded their connections, gotten to know new friends, or met the person they liked and were about to start a relationship… They had more or less gained something, but this didn't include the Huo couple.
In the first half of the banquet, Mr. Huo pretended to be unwell and hid in the lounge with Mrs. Huo. Although the lounge was equipped with professional waiters to provide them with refreshments and drinks, as well as satisfy their other requests, Mr. and Mrs. Huo still felt impatient when the banquet was halfway through. Not wanting to stay in the lounge any longer, they discussed showing up at the banquet.
Compared to Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo was even less composed. As time passed, she became a little agitated and probed Mr. Huo, "You've rested for so long and you're fine now. Let's go to the banquet to take a look."
