"Hmph, your wonderful daughter-in-law ruined my daughter's reputation! And on the day of my mother's birthday! My mother was so angry that she fainted and almost died!" Ge Dong said.
"I'm sure there's been a misunderstanding," Xu Lan said.
"Impossible! My elder sister told me herself! How can it be false!" Ge Dong said.
Qiao Mei put on her cloak and opened the door, saying, "Since we each have our side of the story, come in and talk."
The small living room was filled with people in an instant. Ge Dong took a seat at the side. He originally thought that Xia Mao and Xu Lan would sit in the middle, but was surprised to see Qiao Mei sitting alone in the middle instead.
Ge Dong said sarcastically, "Your Xia family really has some improper practices. Looks like the rumors are indeed true. Such a prominent family is willing to let a daughter-in-law take charge of the family's affairs. It looks like the Xia family's current generation is not as good as the previous one!"
