Chen Yan squinted his eyes and scrutinized Liu Jianshan up and down, nodding slightly. His originally chilly expression revealed a hint of gentle smile: "Alright, it seems effective. Mr. Liu Sr., please sit down."
Liu Jianshan breathed a sigh of relief internally.
Afterward, Steward Liu personally brought the tea, while Liu Zhaoming stood behind Liu Jianshan, not taking a seat — this gesture showed ample respect to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan had just taken a sip of tea when he saw, outside the reception room, Liu Jianshan's wife — the dignified lady referred to as Aunt Yun — walking in, followed by the Liu family's young lady, Miss Ah Ruo.
Aunt Yun seemed much better, wearing a moon-yellow cheongsam. As she walked in, she let Ah Ruo take her arm, came to the table, and first smiled at Chen Yan: "Hello, Mr. Chen Jr."
Chen Yan had the best impression of the Liu family's wife, responding kindly with a smile: "Hello, Mrs. Liu Sr."
