The toasting was almost over when Suizi and Yu Jingting finally appeared.
"What have you two been up to?" Chen Lijun asked her daughter during a lull in the festivities.
"We went to give a gift." Suizi blinked innocently.
"With all this toasting going on, you guys are giving gifts?" Chen Lijun sensed there was more to the story, suspecting her daughter was keeping something from her.
"Why worry so much? Just focus on marrying my father, taking good care of this handsome old fella. Jingting and I will handle the rest."
"...If you could just drop the 'old', I'd be quite happy," Fan Huang, who had been blatantly eavesdropping, commented.
To outsiders, this family banquet was perfect, from the hospitality to the cuisine. Nothing was left to critique.
However, only Suizi and her husband knew the effort they had made to maintain this calm façade.
