Bab 908: The Appointed Time Has Come

There was still about ten minutes left before the appointed time indicated on the invitation. Most of the guests arrived well before that. They didn't know who else were invited to the event but they were sure that not everybody had arrived yet.

"Dear Xiulan's father and mother aren't here yet," Huang Yuyan said as she looked around the parlour. 

Her eyes met with Madam Feng Wan and her three posh friends, including the Chief of Police. They smiled and nodded at each other. All of them were acquainted and moved in similar circles in high society. They weren't close in any way but they were still friendly to each other whenever they met in social gatherings. Ever since Iris Long came into their lives, their encounters had become more frequent and that contributed to them becoming even friendlier with each other. 

"I'm sure that they'll arrive soon," Grandma Li replied. "I don't believe that Liwei and Xiulan didn't invite her parents."
