Youngest aunt, Tan Yuechun, organized a Reunion Dinner that evening and quite a number of relatives turned up.
The atmosphere in the living room was lively. The relatives were talking and laughing as they chatted with each other. Tan Yuechun personally took the job of serving tea to them and was very attentive to them. However, Xing Yuanhang's behavior was no longer the same as that of previous years. He couldn't even bother to talk to his wife's relatives. He no longer had patience with his wife's relatives and he only talked to the relatives of the Xing Family.
Tan Yuechun felt that his behavior was inappropriate. While going for a refill of drinks, she got him to come along and spoke in a low tone.
"This is the Reunion Dinner, after all, just pretend to be happier even if you're not pleased."
Xing Yuanhang replied, "I don't like to pretend."
