The old master wasn't particularly happy during the meal, but there wasn't much that could be done. His authority and power remained, yet his children didn't necessarily respect him as much. This was because the old master could pass away at any time, and at this moment... everyone was busy trying to seize the inheritance, busy trying to claim as much of the estate in their own name to prevent any one person from dominating once the old master was gone. Of course, they all tacitly left Ye Yunzhu's parents' share untouched because... this piece of the pie was untouchable, and no one wanted to deal with the man behind it—Li Yifei. Provoking him would certainly lead to losses.
After dinner, Li Yifei and Ye Yunzhu excused themselves, mentioning he had to treat someone. Ye Yunzhu naturally understood and advised Li Yifei to drive carefully, saying she wouldn't be accompanying him. She cherished the rare chance to be home and wanted to spend time with the old master.
