Father Xu was already prepared; today, he and his wife would need to swallow their pride. No matter what others said, the two of them had to act as if they heard nothing. Everything would wait until after the banquet was over.
Of course, while he was a good person, he was not the kind to remain silent when someone stepped on his head.

However, the turn of events took them by surprise.
Not only did the woman who had been badmouthing their son behind their backs come into play, but neither of the Xu family couple anticipated that the Xiao couple would appear suddenly, and moreover, Madam Xiao even spoke up for them.
She even gave a direct order to have the troublemaker carried out of the venue.
