Shao Yunduan's irritation only deepened. As a representative of his parents, he was obligated to maintain decorum and not be overly petty. Yet, he harbored a fear that any mishap would ultimately be pinned on him, especially since he had publicly reprimanded Bai Ruirui out of frustration.
He hadn't anticipated being drawn back into the orbit of this mother and daughter after such a long time. However, given the involvement of Sun Meng, intervention was now necessary.
Thankfully, his wife had insisted on accompanying him tonight, a decision that proved prescient.
With his wife by his side, navigating this situation became significantly more manageable.
"Make way! Lord Shao is present! What's the commotion?"
Hang Xingshan's voice cut through the din, prompting Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan to step forward.
The crowd buzzed with anticipation. Fan Ruyin and Bai Ruirui ceased their bickering, all eyes turning towards Shao Yunduan.
"Lord Shao has arrived!"
