Chu Tingting sat beside her father, Chu Younan, her gaze blazing with resentment as she stared at Lin Banxia.

Chu Younan was also burning with frustration as he watched, though he didn't show it on the surface. Inside, he was aching for his daughter's plight.

Lin Banxia was feeling a bit tired herself, probably due to the early stages of her pregnancy, which made fatigue come easier. After Chu Tingting left, she asked Yan Ting to arrange for a driver to take her home.
