A Deceptive Family Banquet

After Zhao Nanxu left, the atmosphere at the dining table didn't improve in the slightest. To describe it as awkward would be an understatement.

The reason why Huo Zhenyun had informed everyone in advance about this reception specially arranged to welcome Huo Yan was quite simple – he didn't want anyone else coming to visit. Those who genuinely cared about Huo Yan had already gone to the hospital to see him. As for those who had to wait for Huo Yan to be discharged and visit the Huo Resident specifically, they were more interested in Huo Zhenyun himself rather than Huo Yan.

Everyone knew that Huo Yan held no real power, and everything in the Huo family was decided by the patriarch, Huo Zhenyun. But the opportunities to get close to Huo Zhenyun were few and far between. And if you had a chance, you seized it; there was no room for politeness.
