"Angry?" Yang Yajing shook her head with a smile. "No, no one is perfect... and everyone has their own preferences!"
What a convenient "nobody's perfect" statement! Is this mocking Xia Qilian for lacking class and refinement? Or is it self-deprecatingly saying she can't find a good husband?
Xia Tengyun didn't guess, nor did he dare to guess. All he wanted now was to protect his money and not follow in the footsteps of his elder brother and third sister.
"Dear elders, Ya Jing offers you a toast with tea instead of wine!" Yang Ya Jing ignored Xia Tengyun's ulterior motives and directly offered tea.

This wasn't the first time Yang Yajing had dealt with these people, but not many of the guests present recognized them.
Because of the low-key participation of these people, no nameplates were placed on any of the tables at this engagement party.
Yang Yajing knew everyone's location and identity because of her excellent memory; she had memorized everything when Madam Xia arranged the seating.
So after the family members finished their toasts, they went to that table first, just to let them know that they were valued and to make them feel satisfied!
