Dining Together 2

While somewhat unexpected, this was actually a welcome happenstance for Huangfu Ruixiang. Huangfu Ruiling had now rightly assumed leadership of the Huangfu family. However, despite being brothers, he and Huangfu Ruiling did not share a close relationship. Their association could only be characterized as slightly better than that of total strangers.

Now presented with such an opening, Huangfu Ruixiang naturally refused to squander it.
