“Please take a seat.” Shen Yan beamed. However, her gaze fell on Fu Xiaoxiao’s face the whole time. “Do I owe you money, Miss Fu?”

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment upon hearing her words. She cast a sidelong glance at Shen Yan and snorted coldly, not bothering to speak.

Old Master Fu frowned upon seeing Fu Xiaoxiao’s gloomy face. Although he, too, looked down on Shen Yan, he still had to put on an act on the surface for the sake of the company under her name.

He then turned to look at Fu Xiaoxiao coldly and reminded, “Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten something?”

Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at Old Master Fu after being called out and then at the waitress. She sat in place indifferently with her legs crossed.

Only then did Old Master Fu realize that the waitress was still in the room, he did not say anything else, thinking that Fu Xiaoxiao was self-conscious in front of outsiders.

Shen Yan smiled and handed the menu to Old Master Fu. She said, “Why don’t you take your order?”

Old Master Fu took the menu without even bothering with any formalities. He swept through the menu indifferently and ordered ten dishes casually.

Then, the waitress took note of it and left.

Shen Yan sat at the side and looked at Fu Xiaoxiao with a faint smile.

Butler Fu, who was standing by the side, noticed Shen Yan’s demeanor and had a bad feeling in his heart. He glanced at Old Master Fu and Fu Xiaoxiao worriedly, thinking about how to remind them.

“Old Master Fu, there has been some misunderstanding between us before. I declined your invitation previously because I had other things to do. I hope you don’t mind,” Shen Yan uttered sincerely. She gestured for Miss Na to pour some tea for Old Master Fu.

Miss Na got up subsequently and poured tea for Old Master Fu and Fu Xiaoxiao.

Old Master Fu was very satisfied with Shen Yan’s attitude. He had come to seek peace today. After all, peace begets wealth.

As the saying goes, one should never hit a smiling person.

Thus, Old Master Fu put down his act and smiled amiably. “It was due to my poor consideration. I should have sent the invitation in advance. After all, Miss Shen is no longer the same as before. She’s a busy person.”

Shen Yan smiled sarcastically and responded, “It’s okay. I just happened to be a bit busy that day.”

The corners of Old Master Fu’s lips curled up slightly. He would have lost his temper long ago if he heard Shen Yan say such things in the past. But now, his mind was preoccupied thinking of how to get Shen Yan’s money, so he did not hear the hidden meaning behind Shen Yan’s words.

However, Fu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting at the side, noticed it. She frowned slightly and looked at Shen Yan with suspicion, saying in an ominous manner, “Miss Shen, isn’t what you’re saying wrong?”

Old Master Fu glared at her fiercely as soon as she spoke, signaling for her to stop speaking.

However, Fu Xiaoxiao ignored Old Master Fu and began to mock Shen Yan. “My grandfather invited you over because he was giving you face. Hah. You’re busy? How busy can you be!”

Old Master Fu was in a good mood today, and he did not manage to capture the hidden intention behind Shen Yan’s eyes. He was thinking about how he needed to discipline Fu Xiaoxiao properly when he returned, to save her from being so unruly.

Old Master Fu’s eyes swept across Shen Yan. Although Shen Yan and Fu Xiaoxiao were about the same age, Shen Yan appeared much more mature.

Shen Yan had already begun her apology before the food was even served, so Old Master Fu grew even more confident about getting Shen Yan’s company.

“Keep quiet. I brought you here today so that you can apologize to Shen Yan. What nonsense are you spouting?” Old Master Fu looked at Fu Xiaoxiao in dissatisfaction. Although he wanted to save some face for Fu Xiaoxiao, she was unable to live up to his expectations. Therefore, he had no choice but to lecture her in public for the sake of money.

Fu Xiaoxiao lowered her head without a care and took out her phone to play games.

“I told you to apologize to Miss Shen. Did you hear me?” Old Master Fu held back his anger. This granddaughter of his was really hopelessly dense!

Fu Xiaoxiao stood up reluctantly while playing on her phone. She glanced at Shen Yan without good grace and uttered, “I’m sorry, alright?”
