Ma Lili's family was indeed in an awkward position. Nobody paid any attention to them, which left them feeling quite uncomfortable. Soon, Ma Lili's relatives also left; they felt that no matter what, they had already lost face here.
Wang Xiaoqiang and Xiao Cao were going around toasting at the tables. Although Xiao Cao was dressed simply, she was generous and appropriate in her interactions with others. Compared to Ma Lili's affected coquettishness, people felt that Xiao Cao was much better than Ma Lili.
So, everyone didn't really consider this to be a bad thing; instead, they sincerely wished them well.
"Hey, go check the entrance, see if a new car has actually been sent over," said Ma Lili's mother to her husband.
"Shouldn't we just leave? How embarrassing is this?" Ma Lili's father said with a frown.
