Cheng Su wasn’t intentionally putting on airs. These days, their way of interacting was somewhat polite and reserved. He knew the fault wasn’t with him but with his mother, yet he couldn’t help feeling resentful and uncertain about how the two of them should move forward.
Just as mom had said, they were being calm. Perhaps it was good to take a moment to calmly think and figure out how to handle this relationship.
When Cheng Su showed up at the restaurant, everyone was surprised and came to greet him.
Cheng Su deliberately smiled and pointed at his face, saying, "If I weren’t fine, my face wouldn’t look like a baozi. Go on with your work, I’m just here to look around."
Once everyone dispersed to their tasks, Liang Dan let him sit down behind the cash register and took the initiative to bring out the account books from the past few days.
"I’m just checking how the business is, the account books aren’t urgent. You always handle things properly," Cheng Su said, patting her hand. "I’ve been thinking, we should hire another cashier. From now on, the restaurant will operate in shifts. That way, if you need to rest, there will be someone to take over. What do you think?"
"You’re the boss; of course, we’ll follow your lead," Liang Dan replied with an indifferent expression.
Cheng Su hummed in agreement, "Then let’s hire another one."
Liang Dan saw that despite her smile, there was a trace of worry between Cheng Su’s brows, so she asked, "Are you really okay?"
"I’m fine. Oh, and please thank your cousin for me, thank him for his kindness and thoughts!" Cheng Su remembered the tonic gifts that Qiulan and Luh Kai had brought when she was recuperating, saying it was just a small gesture.
Luh Kai hadn’t come in person, but when he heard about her accident, he sent a thoughtful gift. Of course, she was grateful.
"It’s nothing much to thank for, just some food," Liang Dan shrugged.
"Still, those tonics aren’t cheap at all; they’re good stuff!" Cheng Su scoffed with a playful smile. The gifts were valuable items like fish maw and bird’s nest. "Tell him that I’ll treat him to a meal another day."
