But not everyone pursued drama the way Lin Shi did.
He waited with great interest to watch the show, while for some reason, Lin Lang did not immediately reveal his trump card.
Just then, someone knocked on the meeting room door again.
Before anyone inside could respond, Ji Xi rudely pushed the door open himself.
Yan Xianjue walked in with a smile at the corner of his lips and greeted them politely. "What a coincidence. Everyone's here today?"
Lin Shi covered the smile at his lips with his fist.

He could make people furious, yet no one could do a thing about him.
Lin Shi said nothing, but Lin Lang's face had already darkened. "This is a matter for the Lin Household. It seems we have no need for people from the Yan Household to meddle."
"The Lin Household isn't some lapdog like the Ji Household. It won't gnaw on the bones the Yan Household tosses away."
As he spoke, his gaze seemed to casually sweep over Ji Xi.
Ji Xi acted as though he had not heard a thing and calmly pulled out a chair for Yan Xianjue.

Lin Shi, who had been watching from the sidelines, immediately made a face like he was about to throw up.
