Chapter 178

The meal was nearing its end in an atmosphere that was both cozy and slightly oppressive. True to its reputation as a prestigious and influential family, the Shen Family maintained strict and orderly rules. Throughout the dining process, it was so quiet that only the subtle sound of cutlery gently brushing against the tabletop could be heard. At the Shen Family's dining table, respect for seniority was an ironclad rule. Unless the elders initiated a conversation, the younger generations remained quiet and did not speak casually. Just as the meal was about to conclude, Elder Shen slowly set down his chopsticks. His gaze, still sharp despite the passage of years, turned toward Su Li, carrying a mix of inquiry and admiration.
