Yang Jinchu said softly,
"It's alright, Yangyang, sit down first."
Old Master Chen put down his teacup, gently stroking the rim with his fingers, and looked over.
The subordinate understood and raised his voice slightly.
"The young master said that the Jin family came with a tough attitude, and after weighing the options, he decided to go with the flow and release them."
Old Master Chen's brow twitched almost imperceptibly, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on his lips. He looked up and asked,
"Oh? You just left it like that?"
The subordinate cautiously added...
"The person sent by the Jin family this time is young master Jin Qilin,"
"Young Master said... 'Young Master Jin Qilin's abilities are no less than Jing Min's. He is a low-key yet shrewd figure among the Jin family's grandchildren. He may not be inferior to Jing Min.'"
"Rather than letting Jingmin's brother-in-law go for nothing, it's better to do Jin Qilin a favor."
Chu Wuyang's previously tense expression instantly turned cold.
Old Master Chen slowly sat up straight, smiling as he looked at her.
"I'm sorry, Jin Xian did indeed leave here an hour ago."
"You're too late."
"We're not late."
Yang Jinchu spoke in a calm tone, but his posture was composed.
"It is because someone in your household made the decision too early."
"Young people are full of vigor and always want to prove themselves."
Old Master Chen remained expressionless, his tone long and drawn out.
"Unfortunately, some anger is anger, and some anger... is fate."
He changed the subject, looking at Yang Jinchu with a deeper gaze.
"You're quite composed. In this world, it's those who can remain calm that are truly feared."
Then he turned to Chu Wuyang, his tone still calm.
"Girl, the people around you are not simple."
Chu Wuyang's expression changed slightly.
"But then again..."
He smiled and shook his head.
"Regarding your brother's matter, it was Old Master Jin who personally gave the order. Guang'er was an obedient child, thinking of using this opportunity to curry favor... It's just a pity,"
"His understanding is still too superficial."
Yang Jinchu didn't reply, but just looked at him and said gently,
"Your young master is really 'thorough' in doing things."
"It's not entirely comprehensive."
Old Master Chen's smile faded, and he said calmly,
"Kids are like that, holding onto old grudges. They've got a bit of a knack for changing their tune with the wind, but their vision is still stuck on these little waves."
He sighed deeply, as if talking to himself, yet also as if his words carried a hidden meaning.
"The Chen family... is not what it used to be."
A moment of silence.
"In all these years, I've never seen anyone who could stop Mr. Jin from getting things done."
After finishing speaking, Old Master Chen gave Yang Jinchu a meaningful look.
"I've never seen anyone who can out-calculate him."
"But don't worry, your little brother is perfectly safe! He's much safer with that old man than with Guang'er."
"Be patient, that old man will definitely contact you. He has leverage and will negotiate terms."
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a brief silence.
Yang Jinchu stood up and nodded slightly.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chen. We'll take our leave now."
Chu Wuyang seemed somewhat dazed as she left with him.
The two figures disappeared outside the corridor.
Old Master Chen leaned back in his rattan chair, the smile fading from his face. He brushed the dust off his knees and muttered a curse under his breath.
"That old dog... we let him succeed."
It's as if they're cursing Mr. Jin.
It's like scolding one's own good-for-nothing son.
