In the midst of the furious argument, the phone rang. It was Tang Qingshan. His tone was flat as he said, "We had a farewell lunch for Shaojun at the Gu family's place today. The whole family went, and we just got back not long ago, so dinner is running late. We're about to eat now. Father said you two have to go back to G Province in the next day or two, and he might have something to discuss with you. Do you want to come back for dinner? If so, be quick."
Tang Qingyun paused for a moment, then agreed. He hung up the phone without saying a word to Wu Xiaowen, opened the door, and left by himself.
Wu Xiaowen had no desire to go to the Tang family for dinner, but she hadn't expected Tang Qingyun to leave so coldly without even asking her to come. She sat stunned on the sofa for a moment before burying her face in her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
