Aunt Wang Sumei forced a laugh, "Hehe," and awkwardly echoed, "Yes, yes, everyone, keep it down, keep it down."
But the forced smile of holding up their airs couldn't be maintained anymore.
The relatives at this table glanced at one another, their expressions tinged with unease.
These relatives who had rushed from Zhou County and the town were used to lively gatherings, but when faced with such a scene involving "municipal leaders and distinguished guests from provincial departments," it was inevitable that they felt stiff and uncomfortable.
Some instinctively lowered their voices, others hurriedly set down their wine glasses, and even the sound of crying children was muffled by parents.
The originally bustling Peony Hall seemed like someone had suddenly pressed the "mute" button.
A wave of reverent and tense silence spread quickly.
At that moment.
Wang Suxia's little grandson suddenly woke up.
"Waa—" a loud cry pierced through the silence.
