The next morning, the family is in the middle of preparing for the wedding, when Mr. Dupuis comes in to invite his sister, Weiwei, to dinner. When he opens the door, he finds that his sister has gone upstairs to change into her new clothes, and that her brother, General Wu, has come in to see her. He tells his sister to ignore the other daughter, who is dressed in her father's clothes, because she is not as good looking as her sister. He then apologizes for his rudeness to her, and tells her that if the family does not look good, she will be unhappy
