"Good." Jiang Lukang nodded, feeling a wave of relief at the prominent choice. Then, his eyes scanned the empty seats around the table before he asked again, "And where is Meixia?"
The moment that name left his lips, Feng Lan's face immediately contorted into a bitter frown.
"How should I know? That girl vanished out the front door early this morning, and even now, well after dark, she still has not bothered to return home." Feng Lan answered in an intensely annoyed tone.
Jiang Lukang's brow furrowed even deeper upon hearing his wife's report.
"You ought to sit down with her and give her some proper guidance." Jiang Lukang stated sternly. Then he continued talking. "It reflects terribly on our household for a young girl to be wandering around outside at all hours of the night. If high society gets wind of this, people will start gossiping about how poorly we educate our own children."
