"Not at all, Mr. Fan, your reputation precedes you, as it should."
"The eldest son is very busy each day yet still has time to care about me. I feel bad to impose such a nuisance on him..."
Banqing and Ning Feng exchanged another knowing look.
In this polite exchange, those not in on the truth may really believe that these two men genuinely cared for each other in their daily lives.
However, unfortunately for them, they had seen the true behaviors of these two men too often. They wouldn't be fooled by this false facade.
Chu Jinnian and Fan Wenxuan, the two businessmen, lavished praises on each other for quite some time.
It was only when Ning Feng announced that dinner was ready that their mutual praise came to a close.
As they moved to the garden, Ning Feng rushed off to arrange the spread.
Dinner was remarkably sumptuous. It included crystal shrimp dumplings, Chu Jinzhou's favorite, and tofu skin fish soup, which Fan Wenxuan was fond of.
