Chapter 453 - Manman, long time no see.
Lin Man quickly weighed the pros and cons. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Mom, go out first to entertain him. I’ll be out in a moment."
Tong Xiangqiao immediately brightened up upon hearing these words. She thumped her thigh excitedly, "Manman, thank goodness you’ve come around. I’ll go and entertain him right now."
With that said, she cheerfully opened the door and walked out.
Seeing Shi Yan smoking and chatting with Lin Jinwu, she quickly approached, adding some brown sugar to Shi Yan’s cup. She then seated herself across from Shi Yan, putting on a smiley face, she said,
"Shi Yan, what business are you into now? You haven’t come home to see Lin Man for quite some time. I was just commenting a while back about how long it’s been since I last saw you."
Shi Yan’s mouth curled into a smug smile, looking somewhat like a fox that got its prey, "I’ve been quite busy with my business abroad recently and haven’t been much in the country."
Tong Xiangqiao dramatically exclaimed, "Oh my, you have expanded your business overseas already? You are really capable, Shi Yan. I knew I hadn’t judged you wrong back then. I always told Lin Man that you are a capable man who would make it big someday. And see, I was right!"
"Not only is Shi Yan capable, he’s also quite a character. Just look at him. Now that he’s a big boss, he still remembers to sit with us." Lin Jinwu joined in the flattery, "Next time you come earlier, your aunt will prepare some dishes. We should have some drinks."
"Uncle Lin, if you like drinking, I can bring back a few bottles of foreign liquors for you. They taste really good." Shi Yan seized the opportunity to flaunt, implying through his words that he was doing really well now.
"Foreign liquors?" Greed clouded Lin Jinwu’s eyes, "I have never tasted it at my age. If I could really taste it once, I would live a fulfilled life."
