Zheng Cai was seething with anger, but seeing the guests already coming and going, she could only suppress her fury.
She glanced at Ye Tong, who was sobbing uncontrollably, and said, "You should go back first."
Since the birthday girl herself had spoken, Ye Tong knew it wasn't appropriate for her to stay, especially since she felt so uncomfortable.
Ye Tong nodded. "Then I'll go back first."
Having fully experienced the sting of being despised, she didn't want to stay here a moment longer and wished to leave immediately.
Zheng Cai nodded. "Go back first. Don't overthink things; I'll be there soon."
Although Zheng Cai had been quite dissatisfied with Ye Tong's recent actions, Ye Tong was, after all, her own daughter. Seeing her daughter so openly scorned, Zheng Cai couldn't help but feel a pang of discomfort.
「Meanwhile!」
Not long after Ye Tong had left, Elder Ye had Ye Shilong summoned.
"Father," Ye Shilong addressed him.
