Fortunately, Mr. Lu soon came to Xia Chu's rescue, "Alright, Xiyao is still waiting to introduce someone to Mrs. Huo, so you could talk less. I only hear you talking."
After all, Huo Xiyao always sided with his siblings, occasionally being strict with Sijia, but that only showed how much he truly cared and wanted the best for her.
Otherwise, if he had kept spoiling her and indulging her, wouldn't it have been even more beneficial for his reputation and wealth?
Being publicly embarrassing to Sijia, especially given his own wife's seniority and today's event, would really be going too far!
Madame Lu was astute and had not intended to truly cross the line — she was just too happy that her son had finally come to his senses so she wouldn't have to deal with the contradiction of being both angry at her son for demeaning himself and yet hoping he would achieve what he desires.
