[Mr. Liu: We'll meet on Jan 4th as planned. Thank you for your time, Ms. Xin. Happy New Year]
[Liliana: You're welcome. Happy New Year to you too]
Liliana slipped the smartphone inside the pocket of her skirt. She moved away from the window where she was standing earlier. The banquet should begin soon.
This morning, Liliana dragged herself from Ventura Suites to the Xin ancestral home. It was the same house where she spent her previous years before.
The Xin ancestral home was located at Jadeite Peak, almost an hour away from Ventura Suites. Liliana took a cab instead of calling for any of the Xin family's drivers.
The Xin elders that were still alive all came from distant branches, their positions held no significance. Liliana's paternal grandparents, the esteemed old mister and madam of the Xin family had passed away.
