"Miss Sheng, if you were so afraid of being mocked, you should have chosen to keep a low profile from the very beginning."
"Actually, I wasn't planning to come at all, but I decided to offer my blessings for Grandfather's sake."
Mu Lan spoke evenly yet with clear logic, leaving Sheng Xueqin momentarily unable to retort.
"Xueqin, you are the star of today, and everyone's attention is certainly on you. Don't be too sensitive."
Old Master Huo came forward to smooth things over. Sheng Xueqin glared at Mu Lan. Feeling she could not win, she seized on Old Master Huo's words to save face.
"Grandfather is right, today I am the star; I guess I was a bit too sensitive just now."
Huo Tingxiao looked towards Sheng Xueqin with a cool gaze.
"I hope Miss Sheng will pay more attention to her attitude next time. Don't make a fuss over every little thing; it upsets everyone, and my wife can't handle too much emotional fluctuation right now."
