"Why did you both come? Are you feeling unwell again?" Liu Banxia asked.
"No big issues. We just needed blood workups again, and Dad wanted to visit you along the way," Liu Haibing replied with a smile.
"Ah... I've been so busy with work recently that I'd quite forgotten about this," Liu Banxia said with a bitter smile.
"I heard you've been promoted. That's a good thing. Talented people should be in managerial positions," Uncle Liu said.
"When you have your days off, be sure to come over to our house. I can't drink alcohol anymore, but I can accompany you for the meal. They've been keeping a strict eye on me lately, only allowing me a small sip every few days," Uncle Liu continued.
