During the banquet, everyone naturally wondered how Zuo Le had come to know Ge Dongxu. Zuo Le explained lightly, mentioning only that Ge Dongxu had helped him before but didn't specify the nature of the help.
Zuo Le, being the head of the county public security bureau, didn't elaborate, and even his father-in-law didn't press him, thinking he could only ask his daughter privately later. The Xu Family, along with Ge Shengming, harbored the same idea, planning to ask Ge Dongxu after the banquet.
Thus, no one brought up the matter again during the banquet, which secretly relieved Ge Dongxu.
Through the course of the meal, except for the uncle's family who felt particularly conflicted, especially Liang Zhen, everyone else was quite happy.
With Ge Dongxu's connection, Aunt Xu Suying and Xu Jingfang rekindled their old classmates' relationship and even reminisced about some childhood incidents.
