Chapitre 235: Father-son talk. [2]

Zhang Xian was not expecting Caishen to be so direct with this question. He didn't even think that the children were aware that the elders had made this request of him already.

He squirmed a little in the chair and gulped some saliva but his mouth felt dry. Before Biming left, he had placed a bottle of water in front of Zhang Xian. He reached for it, opened it and took one big gulp before setting it back down with unnecessary force.

The door opened and Biming walked in with one of Caishen's secretaries. She was carrying two porcelain bowls of mixed fruit and she placed them down. To this, Biming added two cups of honey lemon tea because he had no idea the meeting would run for, after all, it was a family re-union. 

"Please excuse us." he said politely. 

The door was once again closed and both men were alone again. Caishen immediately looked at his father intensely. They had to start off where they had left.
