"Dad, are you really planning to give Xie Chen custody of Grandma?!" the eldest son couldn't help asking inside the Mercedes-Benz.
Xie Yongan, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them halfway and cast him an appraising sideways glance. "You're awfully concerned about this!"
"What, not busy at the company anymore?"
Xie Zhenting felt nervous, but forced a flattering smile onto his face. "Dad, didn't you say we had to hold on to Grandma's custody because the company's reputation was at stake? That's why I asked..."

Xie Yongan turned toward him. "Since you have so much free time, why don't you go home and keep your mother company?"
