The woman's words left Chi Zaozao momentarily stunned.
She stood there, unsure of how to respond.
In the past, she would have easily concocted a lie to smooth things over, but today, she was also eager to know why Chenxi hadn't arrived yet.
In her moment of panic, she found herself at a loss for words.
"My big brother is busy with lots of things, so he hasn't had time to come yet."
Ye Lantian, seeing his mother in a difficult position, stepped forward and cheerfully informed everyone.
The woman continued, "No matter how busy he is, it's his grandfather's grand birthday celebration, everyone is here, and he as a junior can't possibly keep everyone waiting for him, can he?"
Ye Lantian, "..."
He found it hard to explain further.
He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already eight in the evening.
The banquet was over, and the performances were about to begin. Once the performances ended, everyone would leave, and would his big brother still not be back?
