In the small salon, Bai Luowei quietly lowered her head, her hands twisted together, waiting silently.
Soon, Madam Gong appeared at the doorway of the parlor.
Bai Luowei immediately went to greet her, her eyes rimmed with red, her voice feeble, "I'm sorry, Aunt, I'm truly sorry for today's incident!"
Madam Gong's face looked extremely unpleasant.
She had intended to announce Gong Beiming's and Bai Luowei's engagement to the public today, but before she could even start, a woman inexplicably barged in and caused Gong Beiming to lose his composure on the spot.
She stared at Bai Luowei for a long time, "Is this woman the scandalous girl reported in the newspapers before?"
Bai Luowei silently nodded, looking like a timid creature, "I'm sorry, Aunt... Beiming cares a lot about that girl, and to avoid making Beiming angry, I had to go to great lengths to protect her!"
"Ha!" Madam Gong scoffed coldly, slapping the tabletop fiercely.
