Chu Minghui quickly approached Uncle Ye, stopped in his tracks, and extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with the other party. Normally, at this moment, Uncle Ye would also cease his stride and reciprocate with a handshake.
Yet, to his surprise, Uncle Ye did not stop at all, but walked straight past him, completely ignoring his presence.
Chu Minghui's hand was halfway extended before he could no longer reach out; it turned out he had misjudged the situation—Uncle Ye was not there to see him at all. This was exceedingly embarrassing, but even though he felt humiliated, he didn't dare say anything. His own family did have some power, but compared to Uncle Ye's, it was not on the same level. Even if he harbored any resentment, he dared not show the slightest hint of it, let alone the fact that he had failed to ascertain his own position—why should someone come with a smile to shake hands with him?
