Su Fan knew immediately that Lu Rui had an issue with Ye Miaoshan's previous comments.
He hastily smoothed things over, "Brother-in-law, Miaoshan didn't mean that. She's just too anxious. She might have spoken too harshly. Let me apologize to you on her behalf."
With a disgruntled expression, Ye Miaoshan said, "If you don't know, then forget it. We'll ask someone else."
She had flown from Yuncheng to Shangjing City to ask for their help in person, only to be turned down.
Not to mention the earful she got from Lu Rui—now she felt completely out of sorts.
This is no way to treat relatives.
Su Mian's complexion wasn't looking great either. She directly said, "I have guests coming later, so it's inconvenient for you to be here. Let's gather later in the evening."
The implication was that they should leave for the time being.
Su Mian wasn't trying to drive them away; she indeed had guests coming later.
