Although the two families weren't far apart, it took little time for the two men to enter Liu Kai's yard, one after the other.
Liu Zheng had one foot inside the door and one outside when Liu Kai came out to greet him with a smile plastered on his face.
"Ah... really, at first I hesitated, unsure if you would grant me the honor of coming to my house for a meal, which is why I had my sister-in-law invite you. It looks like you really did me the favor, come on in, hurry into the house and take a seat."
Upon entering the yard, Liu Zheng didn't go straight into the house but stood still in the courtyard instead.
With a cold expression on his face, he stared at Liu Kai and asked, "If you've got something to say, just say it. There's no need for this pretentious charade."
"Tsk tsk! Look at you, still holding a grudge against your own brother!"
