Inside the high-speed train carriage from Baoqing Prefecture to Jinling Prefecture, Xie's father and mother were seated on the same row of seats, while the aunt and uncle were seated on another row, whispering to each other.
Xie's mother was quietly scolding Xie's father for letting slip some information when he went to buy the tickets, letting the uncle find out about it, which resulted in her cousin's family insisting on tagging along under the guise of "visiting their daughter," much to Xie's mother's irritation.
To speak of the grievances between the two families, one actually has to go back to when Xie Ruoxi was in the second grade of elementary school.
