The Qiao and Li families had agreed to meet, and everyone's mood was sour. That banquet had been a disaster, and Li Hu and his wife, Fang Xiaoxia, were particularly disgruntled—especially since Qiao Xia had threatened to reveal a recording that demonstrated the Li family's disdain for the poor and preference for the rich, which had further soured Li Hu's mood.
Li Hu didn't even consider that the mess was caused by his son's mishandling of the situation. In his view, if women caused a commotion, it was the fault of the Qiao family's poor handling.
Now, a man had appeared out of nowhere, humiliating both families and taking Qiao Xia away with him. He was arrogant and domineering, even dismissing Liu Yitian with contempt. Both Li Hu and Qiao Guang were worried, fearing that the newcomer boded ill.
At last, Li Hui arrived, and Qiao Lan greeted him. She was already feeling aggrieved from being scolded by Li Hu.
Li Hui comforted her by holding her hand.
