Zhou Hui Lan never came back after she left. Naturally, Mr. Gu, Gu Qihua, and Gu Qifan didn't come to the hotel either. Not even Gu Qiyuan made an appearance. Instead, they had invited Mr. Tang, Tang Qingyun, and the others to the Gu Mansion. Zhou Hui Lan had busied herself preparing a two-table banquet. After dinner, Mr. Gu and Mr. Tang went into the study for their usual private talk. By the time they reemerged, Gu Qiyuan had already set up the tea table and was brewing tea. The men leisurely sipped the fragrant brew, discussing everything under the sun. Around eight or nine o'clock, Mr. Tang and Tang Qingyun took their leave, as Grandma Tang, Xiao Man, and Hao Hao were waiting at home. Grandpa Tang rarely stayed out late.
