Bab 72: Your secrets.

Tang Chunlan felt stifled with the current atmosphere sitting down with such people. The sounds of knife grinding on the ceramic plates made her head spin and the aromatic smell of food was not helping her problem.

She put down her napkin and stood up. "Please excuse me, Papa. I don't feel so well so I will be retiring for the night."

Tang Huizhong nodded, grateful for his daughter's sensitivity and thoughtfulness. "Okay, dear. Goodnight."

Jihai also stood up, stretching his hand out to help her. "Let me help you to your room. Please excuse us, Father-in-law."

Tang Chunlan turned to the old man sitting by her left side. "Goodnight, Grandpa Wen. Please excuse me."

Wen Qiqiang smiled after drinking his glass of water. "Goodnight, dear. Take care of yourself and send my regards to your junior sisters."
