Jiang Ni's words left Mrs. Lin at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"No worries, I'll have the butler stay with him. Let's go to the coffee shop at the entrance of the hutong. It's just a few steps away."
Since the elder had gone to such lengths, Jiang Ni didn't have the heart to refuse anymore.
Five minutes later, at the coffee shop near the entrance of the hutong, the waiter set down their afternoon tea and immediately left.
Recently focused on health, Mrs. Lin ordered a fresh juice, while Jiang Ni ordered an iced Americano, attempting to perk up.
Taking advantage of her drinking, Mrs. Lin stealthily sized her up. Jiang Ni looked slightly haggard, evidently having not rested well the night before.
Mrs. Lin inwardly heaved a sigh.
Sensing something, Jiang Ni cautiously looked up, and Mrs. Lin came back to her senses, giving her a slight smile, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Ni was taken aback, then nodded.
