Nothing Special

René Alejandro sensed Iris' gaze. He smiled at her but quickly looked away again to focus on comforting Wei Lan. 

The bloodthirst Iris sensed only lasted for less than a second. It was quite muted but she felt it. Was she mistaken? 

Before she could ponder about it, the door opened again. Jin Liwei's grandmother and mother arrived. The two older Jin madams immediately sensed the tense atmosphere as soon as they entered but pretended not to notice. The elegant matriarch, Grandma Li, walked slowly but steadily inside. Huang Yuyan hesitated for a moment before following her mother-in-law. 

The husband and wife, Jin Liwei and Iris, greeted them. More greetings were exchanged. Wei Lan was quick to shift attitudes. She abandoned her argument with her ex-husband and pulled her stepson to introduce him to her daughter's in-laws.
