Yun Yuanfeng knew that Yun Xi was returning home from the competition and got off work early. Liang Xiuqin saw him coming back, and, since the old man wasn't present any longer, she tried her best to think of a topic to start a conversation with her husband.
The last time that Yun Xi had gotten an award, it had been promised that the President would be giving the award. Then Yun Yuanfeng would be able to establish connections with someone of a much higher status than himself. But, in the end, not only did he not see the President, they didn't even see the Young Commander.
Yun Yuanfeng ended up making the trip for nothing. Since he couldn't confirm the connection with the Young Commander either, he was filled with frustration and ended up venting about it at home.
Liang Xiuqin saw his tantrum, and, naturally, she was happy that Yun Xi didn't manage to have the President or the Young Commander give her the award.
