Ye Mansion.
The large dining room was full of people.
The Tang and Ye families were both present.
To celebrate Jinyang and Xiao Xue's return, everyone had gathered together for a family reunion.
During the meal, as dinner began, Chi Zaozao realized that Jin Shangyu was missing and couldn't help but ask, "Earlier at the door, didn't I see Shangyu come back? Why is he not here now?"
Ye Chenxi quickly explained, "There are some issues at the company that require his attention; he won't be back tonight."
Originally, he was supposed to come home for dinner, but he left and soon called to say he couldn't leave and wouldn't return tonight.
Ye Chenxi felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Since he wasn't coming back, there was no forcing it, so Ye Chenxi said nothing further.
