As soon as she heard that voice, Qing Luan stiffened. She turned her rigid neck to look at the man at the door, who was smiling obsequiously. She pressed her forehead in pain, feeling depressed inside: had she really done something wrong?
A few people were still somewhat stunned, but the hardest to accept was Fu Tianlin. He watched as the man who had just been righteous in reprimanding Huang Zheng suddenly became somewhat effeminate, and with such an ambiguous tone called out to Zhu Qingluan. It was hard for him to accept.
"Yours truly, you need to wash that filthy mouth of yours," Sister Yun was the first to react, her anger flaring as she scolded him fiercely, lacking her usual charm.
"Exactly! To come in here and tease the young lady is too much!" Qin'er also felt displeased. The young lady was high above them, and this guy always toyed with her; his mouth was too vile!
A-Song said nothing, but his sharp eyes fixed on the troublemaker, his fists clenched tightly, proving he was also angry.
"Darling, they're so fierce; I'm scared!" Yu Wei rubbed his chest and posed flirtatiously, causing Fu Tianlin to twitch his lips, unable to say a word for a long time.
This guy... In the restaurant, he had been serious; a single sharp glance made the staff dare not even let out a peep. Everyone thought he was a stern and meticulous person, but it turned out... he was truly two-faced!
Compared to everyone else's intense emotions, Qing Luan remained quite calm. Having known Yu Wei for so many years, she had long understood his contradictory nature and had grown accustomed to it.
"Sit down," she said without inviting anyone specifically. With so many people swaying in front of her, she felt dizzy.
The Boss spoke up, and everyone chose a spot to sit. Only Yu Wei felt unsatisfied and leaned forward to pout at Qing Luan, saying, "Darling, do you not like me anymore?" He disliked her expressionless face; he always wanted to see her break down—except for that first day when he saw her slightly change color after his antics. Since then, no matter how much he stirred things up, her expression remained unchanged, which made him quite sad.
"Be good; I like you very much. Now squat down," Qing Luan said playfully as she met his teasing gaze. A smirk appeared on her lips as she gently patted his head.
"Squat down?" Yu Wei took a moment to process and realized something was off in her words.
"Haha..." Qin'er and Sister Yun caught on to the sarcasm in the young lady's words and laughed uncontrollably, enjoying watching Yu Wei get put in his place more than anything else.
Fu Tianlin also wanted to laugh but held back because Tianxiang Restaurant relied on Yu Wei at the moment. He could only suppress his laughter with pursed lips, fearing it would make things awkward for him.
However, seeing them all mixed together, so naturally happy, he couldn't help but feel envious. Although they were master and servant, there was a familial affection intertwined with the respect they held for Qing Luan, a complete trust that money could not buy.
"What are you laughing at? Afraid your mouth will cramp?" Yu Wei did not get angry; instead, after glaring at them, he shrugged his shoulders arrogantly and said disdainfully, "Qing Qing looks at me differently; you all are just envious and jealous!" Being adaptable was his principle.
If it weren't for accidentally falling into Zhu Qingluan's scheme back then, he wouldn't have humiliated himself by following her around... No, not just following; he was treated like a subordinate, with no room for rebuttal. Just look, it had been less than a year since he escaped her control, and here he was being dragged to the capital by her.
Upon hearing Yu Wei's words, Qing Luan was utterly stunned, her eyes twitching and mouth twitching in disbelief.
"..." Everyone was struck dumb by Yu Wei's words, falling into collective silence.
Seeing the silence he had created, Yu Wei felt quite satisfied. He grinned widely, revealing his neat white teeth, chuckling triumphantly.
"Yu Wei, enough already. Save the cuteness for later," Qing Luan couldn't stand his smug expression any longer and rolled her eyes in a warning manner. When she saw him pout and stop causing trouble, she turned to Fu Tianlin and asked, "The business at Tianxiang Restaurant should be good today, right?"
"Yes!" Fu Tianlin nodded. He couldn't hide this fact even if he wanted to. The current Tianxiang Restaurant appeared to be under the Fu Family's control, but in reality, it was managed by the Merchant Alliance—at that moment, he realized how much he had underestimated this girl. She was actually the leader of the Merchant Alliance; who would dare believe it if he told them?
If her identity were exposed, Chen Xiaode would surely regret it to the point of banging his head against a wall, while Qiu Mingqi would be so frustrated he'd want to commit suicide. As for that Old Fox (Prime Minister Huang)... well, that would definitely be entertaining.
"Is anyone from your family causing trouble again?" Qing Luan knew about those little clowns from the Fu Family; she just hadn't seen them in person before and casually asked.
"There were originally some complaints, but after seeing the business at Tianxiang Restaurant today, everyone is smiling from ear to ear—there's no room for extra nonsense!" This was the best way to shut them up.
"Good! That's how it should be!" Qing Luan felt no qualms about controlling Tianxiang Restaurant; as long as she provided the profits from previous years annually, everything would be fine. This was easy enough to calculate; only her own interests were incalculable, which is why she needed her own people.
Although Yu Wei acted frivolously towards her, when it came to these matters, he better not play tricks in front of him. He was a money-savvy individual; that was precisely why she had set him up in the first place.
"Dear," Yu Wei teased Qing Luan, but when it came to serious matters, he was relatively normal. "What do you think about the Huang Family situation?" He wasn't very clear about the situation in the capital, and his deliberate confrontation with Huang Zheng today was all prearranged—no matter who from the Huang Family showed up, the outcome would be the same.
Qing Luan had grown tired of correcting Yu Wei's way of addressing her; she had become numb to it. The more she corrected him, the more he would push her buttons, so ignoring him was the best approach.
"Today, we made things clear. Prime Minister Huang is indeed angry, but he's even more worried that Huang Zheng has revealed his secrets... Don't worry, he won't come looking for trouble just yet; he's more afraid of trouble finding him!" Qing Luan raised an eyebrow and smirked, contemplating how to fan the flames further.
That old fox would become even more cautious after learning about this incident. It wouldn't be easy to catch him off guard; they would have to find a way in through General Bu.
Fu Tianlin did not refute Qing Luan's point; he merely squinted at her for a moment before lowering his head, lost in thought and silent for quite some time.
After their conversation, Fu Tianlin left first. Yu Wei refused to go, sticking close to Qing Luan and causing her to simmer with frustration until Xuanyuan Rui arrived.
As soon as Xuanyuan Rui approached, he saw a strange man drooling and leering at Qing Luan with a lewd smile. His anger flared up instantly; regardless of who the man was, he unleashed his killing intent and charged at him with a punch...

Last night was perfect for arguments... many people ended up quarreling, tangled in their disputes!
