"Who has ever seen Old Mr. Qi so humble before? He's really giving face."
"The atmosphere is great, I think the Qi Family doesn't care about the online photos at all. If they really looked down on her, they wouldn't bother."
"So, about young Mr. Qi and Miss Ruan, it's pretty much a done deal."
...
Ruan Daqiang kept a straight face for another reason: many people had seen Ruan Mengxi's old photos, and there was a lot of gossip about her having plastic surgery and liposuction, and that Qi Zeyan didn't want her.
The way the Qi Family handled things was essentially elevating Ruan Mengxi's status.
Whether or not they become in-laws in the end, the Qi Family doing this ensures that no one would easily belittle Ruan Mengxi.
So Ruan Daqiang wasn't so tactless; even if he didn't like Qi Zeyan, there was no reason to show his elders a sour face. The atmosphere was quite pleasant.
