The sudden arrival of the old man caused a flicker of inscrutable light in Hou Yuewen's eyes. Lin Tianyou, however, was more hospitable and quickly invited the old man to sit down beside them and continue the previous discussion.
After the old man came in, Hou Yuewen spoke noticeably less, and the topics he had been discussing with Lin Tianyou earlier were not mentioned again.
The old man, on the other hand, was talkative and engaging. Although he didn't say anything substantive, he was quite the conversationalist and easily shifted the topic. Initially, the three were discussing the patient's condition, but as soon as the old man entered, it turned into a complete casual chat.
With the old man diverting the topic, Hou Yuewen simply stopped talking. He casually picked up the teapot beside him, filled all four cups, and said with a smile, "Let's drink and chat."
"Thank you," Lin Tianyou expressed his thanks and immediately took a sip from the cup in front of him.
