After Xiao Minglan caught wind of her relationship with Song Baiyan, sitting down at a table for a meal with him became unavoidably uncomfortable for Tang Li.
That day at the villa, her behavior was too frivolous.
It was normal for Xiao Minglan to have a bad opinion of her.
During this meal, Tang Li fully implemented the fine tradition of "speak not when you eat," avoiding any unnecessary glances at Song Baiyan. She held her rice bowl in her left hand and chopsticks in the other, only picking up dishes that were directly in her line of sight.
Her cautious dining mannerisms, akin to those of a daughter-in-law, naturally did not escape Xiao Minglan's watchful eyes.
—As if she, an elder, had wronged Tang Li.
Putting aside other matters, Tang Li was still a child after all.
Even if Tang Li did not fit the image of a daughter-in-law that Xiao Minglan had in mind, since she had won her son's heart, there was nothing else Xiao could do.
