Dinner proceeded more smoothly than Wang Che thought it would. No one brought up the matter of the business again. Moreover, Master Wang did not speak up again, so it was not difficult for everyone else to keep the conversation light.
Things took a turn shortly after dinner when Master Wang invited Wang Che to his study. The living room fell into a cold silence before Madam Wang intervened.
"Dear, do not bother Che. He has just returned home. There will be other opportunities to talk with him." The woman said as tactfully as possible.
"He is not a delicate flower, and I am not a monster. We are only going to talk about a few things, father to son." Master Wang dismissed her.
"Dad, should I join you?" Wang Lu asked.
"Do not become a worrier like your mother. I am going to speak to Wang Che alone. He does not mind. Why are you all butting in?" Master Wang was irritated.
"So, I guess I should not say anything?" Wang Ning asked cheekily.
