Considering that he had been dead against Tang getting a divorce from his beloved Mei Zhen, why would Mr. Xie suddenly wish to help him? On top of that, he wanted to do so over drinks, instead of simply telling him the same, right here at office. What was up with him?

Tang sighed.

There was, of course, no choice. He was not going to let go of any help, sincere or otherwise, in this already prolonged matter, just because he didn't like his father. Right then, his phone rang.

”All papers have been signed and duly stamped. The place belongs to you now,” the lawyer's voice spoke at the other end.

Tang thanked the man for his hard work and disconnected the call.

A smile hovered on his lips…

”You took the right decision by coming here. I think you are going to enjoy this. Does your phone have a sharp camera?” his father's words greeted him.

Tang was thrown into confusion by his father's demeanour and words. Did he plan to take a selfie with him right now???

”Had you wanted to click pictures to commemorate tonight then you should have chosen a different table. Currently, we are seated in the darkest corner of the room,” he replied irritably.

”Yes, I had a tough time deciding which table was the best one, hidden from everyone's eyes but affording the best view. After all, it wouldn't be wise if the prey scented that the predator was nearby,” he continued speaking in tongues.

Tang wasn't sure if his father was drunk or was simply being difficult.

After a long day at work, he simply didn't have the patience to play any games and snapped, ”I am not interested in being anyone's prey tonight nor do I wish to hunt anyone.”

”Are your sure about that? Even if the prey is your lovely wife?” his father's voice held a challenging note in it.

He looked at Mr. Xie sharply.
