The liveliness was due to the arrival of Old Master Jing. Accompanying him were Jing Ning, Jing Yan, and Ye Qian, and Gu Yan.
However, I couldn't see Auntie Lan or Auntie Bai Rui. I was understandably puzzled.
Ye Qian was the first to see us. She stood up with a smile. "Nanxing, you're here! Jing Ni? When did you come back? Mai Qi..."
Even for this master manipulator, I was sure she felt a great deal of pressure. I laughed internally. If I had brought Lu Yan along, I might get to see Ye Qian's face crack.
The liveliness in the house came to an abrupt end with our arrival.
Mai Qi said plainly, "Jing Ni has been back for some time already. I just came back yesterday. I was not expecting to run into you here."
Ye Qian was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Gu Yan was not as annoying as usual because Old Master Jing was there.
