Old Mr. Yan and Old Madam Yan were greeted and escorted to the living room.
Though the Meng family's villa wasn't as vast as the Yan family's estate, which covered nearly a thousand acres, the furnishings were equally meticulous. With one sweep of his gaze, Old Mr. Yan knew that the Meng family's foundation was more than just thick—it was substantial.
Old Mr. Yan had a basic understanding of the Meng family—a lineage of officials several generations long. The positions may have varied in significance, but there was always a government official in each generation.
So far, the highest official position in the Meng family belonged to Master Meng, but he had long since retired. Meng Jiezhu and Meng Zhong were the current backbone of the Meng family.
Seeing the Meng family's prosperous and thriving descendants, Old Mr. Yan felt more than mere envy.
Master Meng could already watch his great-grandchildren running around, while Old Mr. Yan hadn't even caught a glimpse of a child.
