Those who were on good terms with the Huo family were in a good mood, since the Huo family's rise to a higher level was entirely beneficial to them.
The remaining few people didn't look so happy.
Especially the Yu family, who have never gotten along well with the Huo family.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were intentionally or unintentionally focused on her, Zhang Yaqin's face immediately darkened.
"I just remembered I have some things to take care of at home, so I won't be going out today. You guys have fun."
After saying that, she didn't care about everyone's reaction and swayed back to the courtyard.
Zhang Yaqin has always spoken and acted this way, and everyone is used to it.

At their age, there are no more complicated issues.

After saying that, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'm not talking to you guys anymore. I was so happy today that I drank a couple more glasses, and my head is still spinning."
Old Wang and Old Li exchanged glances, and finally both showed a speechless expression.
As he accepted the invitations and wedding candies, Old Wang snorted coldly.
"If you talk like that, you'll easily get beaten up if you go out, do you know that?"
