Tian Xueqin was stunned. 'Is the old man bored? The kids just bickered a little, why is he getting involved? When he gets serious, his Suppression is so intense even the boys in the family are afraid of him, let alone Shaoling and Sisi! I hope he doesn't terrify the poor girls!'
She hurriedly looked toward Old Mrs. Gu, hoping her mother-in-law would take over. But Old Mrs. Gu, who had just lost her composure after being provoked by Old Mrs. Tang, was still a bit flustered. Now, coming to her senses, she recalled what Tian Xueqin had said to Manman and how Gu Shaoling had lashed out at her. She couldn't help but feel annoyed at how this mother-daughter duo was so good at stirring up trouble and ruining a perfectly nice family gathering. Old Mrs. Gu shot Tian Xueqin a fierce glare, then took Shaoyu's arm and, accompanied by Zhou Hui Lan, turned to walk toward where the Tang Family was seated.
