Madam Zhou was assisted to the main seat, while Wu Lihong watched with a bitter warmth in his eyes. He had been here for quite a while, yet he was seated in the guest position.
They really treated him like a guest!
Wu Lihong looked at Madam Zhou's gaunt face and frowned, asking, "Meiniang, why have you lost so much weight?"
Madam Zhou looked at him and replied, "The journey was somewhat arduous, and the discomfort of adjusting to the local conditions took a toll." She then glanced at Wufu, saying, "Wufu, you may leave."
Wufu looked over.
"Go on," Madam Zhou's gaze carried a hint of plea.
Wufu lowered her eyes, gave a slight bow, cast a warning glance at Wu Lihong, and then departed.
Whether it was an illusion or something else, as soon as Wufu left, Wu Lihong felt all pressure dissipate, and he felt considerably more relaxed.
