Mr. Qin Sr was not particularly fond of bustling festivities, so the birthday banquet was not a grand affair and ended quite early. Basically, after the meal, guests started to leave one after another.
It was still early, and night had just fallen. Lan Jin wanted to stay over, after all, Mr. Qin Sr had already had the guest rooms prepared, insisting that his granddaughter-in-law must stay for the night no matter what.
But who would have thought that several of the elderly gentlemen were adamant about not staying, as they were all still thinking about Lan Jin's pot of tea eggs, afraid that if they waited until tomorrow to return, the eggs wouldn't be as fragrant.
So, making a fuss, they insisted on leaving immediately, and Lan Jin had no choice but to go back with them.
