“Chairman,” Ji Chuan began respectfully, “the car is ready. When shall we leave?”

However, Dongfang Yu seemed as if he hadn’t heard, still gazing out of the window in a daze.

Ji Chuan was a bit surprised, but he respectfully called out again, “Chairman, the car is ready.”

Dongfang Yu finally snapped back to reality. He stood up, and said indifferently, “Let’s go, we leave now.”

“Yes, sir.”

Today was Hai Zhiyuan’s birthday.

Early in the morning, Hai Xiaotang and the servants were busy preparing the meals.

Hai Zhiyuan liked peace and quiet, and he was not fond of socializing. So, the day’s meal was only enjoyed by the family, with no outsiders present.

Although many people wanted to take this opportunity to give him gifts, he rejected them all.

He simply said he would not host any celebratory banquet this year and declined all the wishes.

However, the Dongfang family still paid a visit.

They would come each year for the old man’s birthday, even after Hai Xiaotang had divorced Dongfang Yu, they still visited.

Actually, Hai Xiaotang was always curious about one thing.

The Dongfang family had quite a respectable status too, so why did they always show such respect towards her grandfather?

And, why are the two families so closely connected?

Hai Xiaotang only vaguely knew that her grandfather had a good relationship with Dongfang Yu’s grandfather, but Dongfang Yu’s grandfather had been deceased for a long time.

However, she just briefly wondered about this question and didn’t delve deeper into it, as it was normal for the two families to have intimate dealings.

The meals were quickly prepared.

There were a total of six people at the dining table, Hai Zhiyuan, Hai Xiaotang, Mr and Mrs Hai Rong, as well as Dongfang Zujie and He Meilian.

Dongfang Yu still hadn’t arrived.

He Meilian said there was no need to wait for him, as it was not right to make so many people wait.

Hai Zhiyuan smiled and said: “It’s fine, Ayu told me he would be here soon, let’s just wait a little longer.”

Just as he finished speaking, Dongfang Yu walked in.

“Grandpa, sorry to keep you all waiting,” Dongfang Yu apologized.

“It’s all right, let’s eat,” the old man chuckled heartily.

The couple, Hai Rong, also greeted him warmly.

Hai Xiaotang, however, remained silent.

Dongfang Yu sat down next to Hai Xiaotang. They exchanged a glance, then naturally averted their eyes.

Throughout the meal, they had no conversation.

Mr. and Mrs. Hai Rong, sitting across the table, observed their interactions. Seeing their distant demeanor, their smiles grew even brighter.

The strained relationship between Dongfang Yu and Hai Xiaotang was beneficial to them.

Once they find their daughter, they could marry her off to Dongfang Yu.

“Xiaotang, eat more,” Zhan Yu, cheerful and happy, put a chicken leg on her plate. “You’ve lost weight from all your studying.”

Hai Xiaotang was a bit surprised, “Thankyou, Auntie.”

“We’re family. There’s no need for formalities,” Zhan Yu laughed kindly.

Hai Xiaotang was not used to being treated this way, but she showed no signs of discomfort.

“Ayu, you should also eat more.” Then, Zhan Yu enthusiastically turned to Dongfang Yu. “Even though you and Xiaotang are divorced, in Auntie’s eyes, we will always be family!”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere at the table became a bit strange and delicate.

Hai Rong glared at her discontentedly. There was no need to bring up the topic of divorce.

However, neither Hai Xiaotang nor Dongfang Yu felt embarrassed.

Dongfang Yu glanced at Hai Xiaotang and smiled lightly, “Yes, indeed, we will always be family.”

Hai Xiaotang instantly understood the underlying implication of his words, but her expression remained unchanging.

After the lively meal, Dongfang Yu left. He had a business trip and was in a hurry to catch his flight.

The rest of the guests also prepared to leave, including Mr and Mrs Hai Rong.
