Dai Shuying walked to the top of the stairs and helped Lu Yan sit down in the center of the sofa.
Lu Chen also came to Ning You's side.
He took her hand and gave her a reassuring smile.
In the huge living room, only Su Lin was left standing there dumbfounded.
Like an intrusive and presumptuous outsider.
