The dinner party continued as usual. Zhu Wan'Er showed no signs of anything being amiss, her demeanor as warm and pleasant as ever.
But the more she acted this way, the more wary Wu Liangchen became.
He refused to believe that this Zhu Wan'Er's intentions for Flower Square were as simple as opening a restaurant.

After all, Third Brother Xie had run Flower Square with an iron fist, making it impenetrable. For a restaurant run by the Zhu family to suddenly appear inside would cause all sorts of speculation.
Moreover, he was only managing the place on Third Brother Xie's behalf, so he certainly couldn't agree to such a thing.
