"Okay then, if that's the case, you go ahead up. I'll wait here for you. Once you're settled, we can have dinner together tonight."
"Tonight?"
After hearing that, Li Jingwen hesitated for a moment.
She didn't know if the old patriarch had any arrangements, but usually, the old patriarch only needed to explain the specific circumstances to her; he wouldn't get too involved with anything else.
"What's wrong? Do you have plans for tonight? Or is there someone here to welcome you back?"
"No, that's not the case. I've been away from this city for so many years, and those relationships are long gone. So, no one will remember me."
"Well then, if there's no one, it's perfect. I'll treat you well tonight. Also, I'm afraid I'll have to leave the city tomorrow. It'll be for a few days, and I probably won't have the chance to see you then."
"Alright, it has to be tonight then. Okay, wait here for me. We'll catch up properly over dinner later."
