It was nearing noon, and these ladies, being well-versed in etiquette, knew that the banquet was about to begin and someone would come to invite them, so they did not bother Ran Yan with endless questions and instead found seats to rest.
Ran Yan was already parched and tongue-tied. After drinking two cups of water, she felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, the socializing was not as difficult as she had imagined. Ran Yan simply shared her theoretical knowledge just like explaining autopsy results at the Criminal Investigation Team, without having to talk about household affairs. She now firmly believed that the direction she had steered the conversation was extremely wise!
With a quarter of an hour left before noon, a maid reported that the old Lady had arrived.
Everyone promptly stood up to greet her.
