In the private room, the awkward atmosphere caused by Zhong Mengxuan's arrival lasted for a while before quickly dissipating.
Old Master Lu and Old Master Zhong had both weathered great storms, how could they be stymied by Zhong Mengxuan's trivial tricks!
After a brief displeasure, the two resumed their jovial chatting as if the incident of Zhong Mengxuan's arrival had never occurred.
Seeing the performance of the two old men, the others exchanged glances and tacitly began to ignore Zhong Mengxuan's presence.
Zhong Mengxuan initially thought, despite the awkwardness, that at least she had sat down, symbolizing that the Zhong and Lu families were discussing the marriage together. Lu Chenran would realize that she was Zhong Niangyao's cousin and would no longer snub her.
But she could never have imagined that in just a moment, everyone there seemed to have conspired to ignore her without prior agreement, not even glancing in her direction even though she was sitting there.
