They all came to a mutual agreement and Tai Ho Sun fell on the sword for Alix. If anybody asked, he was the one that had slapped Zijia. Grandpa Tai would not have anyone believing that his Alix was anything but sweet and weak and in need of protection.
"Let's all return to the party because guests will be looking for us and they will talk if we all stay here." Grandpa Zhang reminded them.
So, one by one, they all left the room, leaving behind Alix, Caishen and auntie Mo. It seemed like she wanted to speak to Alix and Alix similarly wanted to have a word with her.
Only Caishen was hesitant to leave, irrespective of the situation. To him, if auntie Mo planned to side with her niece, that was it. He would be getting his wife out of there immediately and he would not give the Tais another opportunity to come close to her.
Living under Lin Billi's shadow had been enough. He didn't want her to live under another person's shadow.
