Chen Linyun was seated awkwardly across Father Xue and beside Xue Jinxu at the old family mansion.
After the discussion that afternoon, the Xue parents were seriously considering the option of appointing Chen Linyun as the president, as replacement of the deceased young master, Xue Minhe.
Since Xue Jinxu could not answer for him, Father Xue invited him for dinner. "Honey, can you go here at the Xue Mansion?" Jinxu asked her husband that very afternoon. "Father wants to discuss something with you. He's inviting you to join us for dinner."
"Alright, I'll be there in a few minutes."
It was almost dusk, around six in the evening. Upon arrival of Chen Linyun, he was invited to the study first, since it's still early for dinner. Zhao Feiyan excused herself after exchanging greetings with Chen Linyun to tend to the kitchen and to their dinner.
"Jinxu, have you told him about your twin brother's fate?" Father Xue started.
"Yes, Father. He knows."
