Xu Nuo was once again the target of misplaced anger. But she had received many such looks these past few days and was already used to it.
Gu Lehuan reached out from under the table and squeezed Xu Nuo's hand. "Mother, how about I go talk to Grandma and the others later? We can go back to Shangjing a little later."
Joy flashed across Wang Caiyue's face, but it instantly turned pale again. "What's there to talk about? If you want to leave early, then leave early! Don't think for a second I care.
Besides, you're all grown up now. You've got a wife and forgotten your mother."

He didn't want to repeat her sharp, harsh reply in front of his son and daughter-in-law.
In retrospect, he felt he had truly failed as a son.
The older he got, and with his son now married and with his own small family, the more it all resonated with him.
