The men and women were separated.
Xie Qiao looked like she had no sense of presence. However, the daughters of the Xie family's eldest and youngest son said nothing much now. They were behaving like kittens.
Xie Qiao ate and chewed slowly and tasted carefully. Even the old lady was nervous because of her.
Xie Xi admired Xie Qiao now. No matter what Xie Qiao ate, she would eat too. She ate at the same pace as Xie Qiao did, irritating the rest.
This used to be the old lady's favorite time. The reason being Ms. Lu was sweet with her words. She would exaggeratedly compliment the food while the old lady would seize the opportunity to name her requests so that Ms. Lu would talk to Xie Niushan when they returned home.
However, it was totally a torture this time.
