Capítulo 199: The Start of Dread Part 1

August 10, 20XX (Saturday)

Zhao Manor

The large circular table in the dining room at Zhao Manor was once again filled with family members that have come home to celebrate Yang and Mei Li's engagement. Laughter and chatter once again filled the large home. Yue and Mei Li were gossiping about the new release of good shoes from local brands, and Aunt Qinyang was being a diva again and bullying her husband to buy her more bags. Grandma Zhao was talking to Father Zhao and Grandpa Zhao as if she was lecturing them about something, and Yang sat bored out of his wits as his fiance's attention were all directed at his sister. Mother Zhao's beaming smile when she saw the table that was usually occupied by two people being filled with seven other people was as bright as the sun.

Seeing his mother's gaze, Yang subtly inquired without asking a question, "Mom, I heard you started teaching Mei Li some things."
