16 Crappy Discussions (2/2)

”Son?, are you there? ” Mr Fa Zang Ru asked worriedly.

”Yeah, Yes father, I'm here, I'm fine” Liu Wei woke up from his daze as he held the phone tightly.

”Mmm, okay, could you come over to the house for dinner tomorrow night?, it's been long we last saw each other”

Liu Wei was overwhelmed by his father's concern, he didn't hesitate before replying.

”Yes, sure, I'll be there”

That day was particularly beautiful, through the board meeting, Liu Wei held onto his phone and a smile was plastered on his face, leaving the board members puzzled, wondering what happened to make their boss so happy.

Tuesday arrived slower than Liu Wei anticipated. He went to work early and retired early, took a dignified bath, dressed in one of his best suits and drove straight to his ancestral home, he had a dinner to attend.

He parked his car at his private parking spot when he was still staying at the ancestral home. He waited a little while inside his car as he relaxed himself. Though he was happy at his father's sudden concern, he didn't fail to think that maybe the dinner might not be a dinner after all. Stepping out of the car, he pushed such negative thoughts at the back of his head. He strode towards the inner gates that led to the living room. as he approached the gates, it automatically opened and he walked in.

As he approached the living room, he heard people chattering. His brows creased. 'Was father receiving visitors?' He gently pushed open the doors and before him was his father, another man notably in his sixties and a pretty girl sitting beside the elderly man.

Mr. Zang Ru was the first to notice Liu Wei.

”Liu Wei, son, come over, you arrived quite early ” Mr Zang Ru waved at Liu Wei took come over. Liu Wei walked up-to them and greeted the elder accordingly and he glanced at the girl in her early twenties, pretty face with short hair, she smiled shyly at him and he immediately sighted an empty cushion and sat down.

Throughout the discussion, Liu Wei only replied to questions directed at him, same with the girl sitting beside the man. Liu Wei didn't look at her again, he felt that there was something really wrong with this dinner, but he didn't want to just conclude.
