Family

All glasses clinked together to celebrate the fortunate event. The news of this case had initially scared everyone, but the outcome had put all minds at ease. 

Qiang stood up with her glass to make a toast, "Although I've disappointed you all, I promise to redeem myself. I hope my family will give me another chance!" 

She gulped the alcohol in her glass in one go, showing the empty glass to everyone seated there. 

To show their acceptance, everyone poured themselves a glass and finished it. Qiang smiled brightly in gratitude. She thought to herself that food was indeed the way to people's hearts. The feast she spent hours preparing was worth it. 

"Young Miss Qiang might be impulsive," Ru said softly, "But her intention is never wrong." He looked at XIaoling, "Swallow your anger, Master. Aren't we a family?" 

Xiaoling glanced at Ru and Qiang. She sighed and smiled, "As you wish!" She poured herself a glass and drank it.
