A good meal ended with a lack of cheer.
Right after the meal, Du Wenyin and Du Li left, Lou Ruhui's complexion looking somewhat unsightly.
It was Chu Liangxia, though, who appeared completely unaffected.
She did what she needed to do, her mood remaining undisturbed. In Lou Ruhui's eyes, this was simply heartless.
That evening when Chu Yunxiao returned, presumably Lou Ruhui had told him about the incident. During dinner, Chu Yunxiao severely scolded her with a stern face, while Chu Liangxia ignored him throughout the meal. She finished dining silently and then went upstairs without a word.
It was said that Chu Yunxiao was so angry that he smashed a bowl.
Two days passed, and before Chu Liangxia became a complete eyesore to the Chu Family, Chu Yunxiao's birthday arrived first.
