He shook his head.

I shouldn't have come here tonight. We could have had this meeting tomorrow too but Dad…!

He took a seat back on the chair, releasing a sigh.

I hope this ends soon.

Yin chuckled. "Ah, ah? Why do you look so mad Uncle- Oh I am sorry, Mr. Zhu? Yeah I cannot address you that way. But I wonder if Gu Yating can?"
