"Okay."
Long Ying looked at Su Ming, her eyes twinkling with agreement.
Su Ming then entered the hall through the right side door, walked up to Xia Lan and Vivian, and calmly said.
"Apologies to everyone, Miss Xia Lan was late because of me. We met by chance and decided to hang out for a while. I apologize for making you all wait."
Suddenly, everyone in the hall turned to look at Su Ming.
The guests murmured quietly.
"Who is this guy?"
"Not sure."
...
At this moment, Clan Chief Tai Wen looked at the suddenly emerging Su Ming, whereupon, surprised, he rose from his chair, his face full of disbelief.
Xia Lan was startled too, not expecting Su Ming to come out and support her.
Vivian quickly nudged Xia Lan with her elbow.
Xia Lan immediately responded, saying.
"Yes, I was just getting acquainted with this Mr. Su Ming."
"Xia Lan, you're still using such tricks, do you think I would believe it?"
