They arrived a bit late, and by then, everyone who should be back had already returned, only the atmosphere in the living room was somewhat tense.
It wasn't that they had just been arguing or bickering; rather, it seemed they simply had nothing in common to talk about.
Previously, Xie Suian would chat with Xie Linchuan about work, which helped prevent the atmosphere from becoming too silent, but because of Liang Yu's issue, Xie Suian was clearly displeased with Xie Linchuan and did not talk to him about work today.
Thus, with completely nothing left to say, they just sat quietly in their own seats, inevitably making the mood a bit awkward.
The arrival of Xu Jinzhi and her company made the atmosphere in the living room slightly better.
Right after greeting the elders, Xie Xingchuan called out, "Sister-in-law."
At this moment, there were two women in the living room who could be Xie Xingchuan's sister-in-law, but he was looking at Xu Jinzhi, so obviously he was calling for her.
