The living room was packed with people. The girls sat in a neat row on the wide, expensive leather sofa, while the boys occupied the chairs around the dining island. Fortunately, Chu Zihang’s living room was spacious enough that the large gathering didn’t feel crowded at all.
The live-in housekeeper hired by Lu Tianming walked over carrying tea and coffee. Aside from Aunt Tong, there was another woman Lu Mingfei had never seen before. According to Chu Zihang, she was a professional caregiver whom Lu Tianming had carefully selected and hired at a high price after Su Xiaoyan’s incident. As for the caregiver specializing in psychological healing who had been hired during Su Xiaoyan’s nightmares, she had vanished at some point, but no one discussed where she had gone, as if she had never existed in the first place.
The tea was brewed from Xihu Longjing, and the coffee came from the Blue Mountain region of Jamaica in Central America—brought back as a favor by a friend of Lu Tianming’s, originally intended to entertain future business clients. But today was a day it simply had to be put to use; after all, the Chu residence was hosting his stepson’s classmates and his wife’s ex-husband, and Lu Tianming certainly didn't want to lose face in front of these people.
