The next day, a light rain drizzled.
Li Qiao and Qin Jin arrived early at the Xiang Family by car.
There was a bustle of people coming and going at the entrance, creating quite a lively scene.
In the corridor, an elderly man was busily writing in the guestbook, while a young man next to him was collecting the cash gifts.
After paying her respects, Li Qiao headed inside.
Counselor Xiang, with light makeup, her hair all swept back, sat at the edge of the bed wearing a bright red outfit.
A circle of girls surrounded her, several of whom had familiar faces.
Xue Lingqing was also in the room, entangled in conversation with two young women, while a young man beside him laughed and teased.
Li Qiao squeezed through the crowd to greet them.
Counselor Xiang introduced her, "This is Li Qiao, whom I often talk about, isn't she beautiful?"
All eyes turned to Li Qiao unanimously.
