Naturally, being mistreated like this was bound to make Commander Wang Aiguo extremely angry, and Deputy Army Hao wouldn't be any better. However, as soon as they stepped into Han Dongchen's courtyard, they were greeted by the delicious smell of meat. This scent immediately eased their moods.
Commander Wang Aiguo was the first to speak, "My, doesn't this smell heavenly! My sister-in-law sure is skilful. Haha, General Gao, you're pretty early!"
General Gao replied, "Yes, indeed. I've almost finished a whole pot of tea by now. Sit down, will you? I need to use the restroom."
After Han Dongchen showed General Gao where the restroom was, he invited the other three to sit down. Chief of Staff Zhao was visibly upset, but the banter between everyone else lightened the mood.
Su Xiaowan and the others were busy in the kitchen. Zhang Shulan's enthusiasm towards Song Yongyu was so infectious that it gave Su Xiaowan goosebumps.
