The dinner officially began and soft music sounded in the hall.
Guests came and went in groups of three or five, chatting and exchanging ideas, clinking glasses, and the atmosphere was joyful.
After the banquet had been going on for a while, some people kept looking around in the crowd.
Not finding the person I wanted to see, I couldn't help whispering.
"I heard that there's a conflict in Mr. Xiao's family. Look, only Mr. Xiao came to this dinner, and his wife didn't even attend. There must be something wrong with their relationship."
"This is true. I heard that Mr. Xiao has a lover outside, and Mrs. Xiao found out. She is crying and making a fuss at home now."
"Hmph, why bother? It's normal for men to be unfaithful. What's the big deal if he has three or four mistresses outside? Women just need to stay at home honestly, have enough money to spend and be comfortable, right? If you have to make a fuss, you will be kicked out. It's not worth it!"
"I heard that the woman Mr. Xiao keeps outside is quite capable and can seduce people. Mrs. Xiao is pregnant now and looks unkempt all day long. She is definitely no match for her.

Halfway through the banquet, the soothing music in the hall turned into rhythmic jazz.
People put down their wine glasses, men and women hugged each other and started ballroom dancing.
The women wore graceful skirts and the men wore neat suits, and each pair was extremely dazzling.
Xiao Liangping was standing there alone, with no dance partner to invite him, and he felt very embarrassed.
Suddenly, the music stopped and the lights on the stage went dark.
