Fu Xiao saw that something was amiss and hurried over to smoothen things over. "Miss Shen, my wife is busy with work and caring for our child. It is natural that she might overlook some things."
He briefly made an excuse for his wife before changing the topic. "Although Little Jing entrusted us with today's private birthday banquet, since you're here, of course we will welcome you. If you need anything, you can look for me or Little 'E at any time. You're the Lian family's benefactor, so of course we'll treat you as a distinguished guest."
Lian'e's expression softened a little. She forced her words through gritted teeth. "Miss Shen, forgive us for not keeping you company. We have many important guests today. Please make yourself at home."
She had a feeling that if this continued, Shen Yin might say something that would affect her reputation, so she walked away gracefully.
