In this chapter, the narrator tells us that she's never seen a villain so tactful. She says that she called the family of the mayor of Shanghai and learned that the mayor was going to have a date with a girl named Jianghuiyin. The family is a key part of the upper class in Shanghai, and the mayor's family plays a big role in the social life of the city. The narrator says that he's tired of the arranged marriage and wants to go for a walk. She tells the family that she doesn't like the idea of having to meet a girl from the lower class. She also says that the family is not a good match for her, because she isn't related to the family with the same bloodline as the mayor.
