Mr. Cao suppressed his anger and answered the phone.
It was his wife, Wang Lijuan, calling to tell him to come home for dinner that night.
Mr. Cao glanced at his leg and was about to say that he wouldn't be able to make it home tonight.
However, Wang Lijuan added that tonight was their son's engagement party, and it would be inappropriate for him not to attend.
Mr. Cao's expression instantly stiffened, and the words he was about to say got swallowed back down; he could only agree to come.

Jiangli and Xia Xin had a meal outside before leaving the mall.
As Xia Xin flipped through his phone's navigation, he asked, "Ancestor, are we going straight back, or?"
"We are going to buy some Talisman Paper." Jiangli himself was not picky about Talisman Paper, but those who were unacquainted with the craft could be quite choosy.
Outsiders still think the more formal Talisman Papers are better.
Jiangli, having seen this situation many times, was quite experienced with it.
