"Bà, who are these people?" Raelle had just come back from work when she found strangers sitting in the living room with Shui Koshing.
"Oh, daughter-in-law, you're back!" Shui Koshing welcomed her home with a big smile. "It's good that you're back. We were waiting for you."

"Why?" Raelle wasn't really following this conversation. She couldn't understand what did this have to do with her. And why did her father-in-law call this designer here for her?
"Aiyo, aren't you attending that state banquet tomorrow?" questioned Shui Koshing.
"It's not a state banquet," Raelle cleared it up. From that one question, she already understood where this conversation was going.
