The Ping Family's New Year was a chaotic mess. They had originally planned to visit Ping Guo Fei's rural hometown for the festivities but ended up not going. Ping Simin threw several tantrums, threatening to hang herself or drink poison, but Ping Qing managed to stop her every time.
During this period, Ping Guo Fei and Ping Qing went to the Gu Family to negotiate, but the Gu Family pushed all the blame away. Moreover, Gu Yuehong further accused Ping Simin of being indiscreet, saying she intentionally flirted with the wealthy guests at her brother's birthday party, which made them lose face.
The father and son were infuriated, and now each of the three parties had different stories, causing an uproar throughout the town. There was never a secret in the circle; Gu Yuehong's words quickly spread, making everyone aware of the situation.
