Fu Xiuyan called the servants to clean the floor as quickly as possible.
The food was completely ruined, and the only option was to have the chefs make it all again, which would take more than two hours, given the amount involved.
During this time, the guests obviously became very bored.
Before long, some were unable to sit still any longer and began to take their leave from Fu Xiuyan.
Seeing that someone had set the precedent, others also grew restless, and many started to say it was getting late and that they should head home.
Thus, within half an hour, more than half of the guests had departed.
Those who remained were the ones who felt obliged to stay and did not have the audacity to leave.
After a brief moment of cool-headedness of about fifteen minutes, Rong Jing'an saw this scene and couldn't muster a smile no matter how hard he tried.
