At 7:10 pm, the birthday party had already been delayed for over ten minutes.
The guests in the courtyard began whispering to each other, wondering why the birthday banquet wasn't starting. In the courtyard, only Mrs. Song could be seen chatting leisurely with a group of ladies, while Mr. Song and Young Master Song were nowhere to be seen.
This was quite rude.
On the surface, Mrs. Song was pacifying the guests, but inwardly she was already burning with anxiety.
In fact, over twenty minutes earlier, she had sent someone to call for her husband and son.
The servant returned and said, "Mr. Song is in the study meeting with a very important guest and has ordered not to be disturbed. As for the young master... he is having a blast with a group of classmates in the back yard and says he won't come; he will just join later to cut the birthday cake."
