Chapter 98: Restaurant (1) (2/2)

Matriarch He started off by saying, “Grandmother has noticed that you haven’t had much to do in the estate these few days, so Grandmother has found a task for you. Grandmother hopes you won’t feel like Grandmother is being too nosy!”

Chu Lian’s eyes widened slightly. “Grandmother, you want me to manage Guilin Restaurant?”

Matriarch He smiled until her eyes were crescents. “This restaurant was part of my dowry. It hasn’t been doing well in recent years. Sanlang’s wife, if you can revive it, then Grandmother will give this restaurant to you. However, there is one condition: Guilin Restaurant has to remain a restaurant.”

Wasn’t this someone offering her a pillow the moment she wanted to sleep?

She had just started looking for a way to make money, and now Matriarch He had come along offering her a restaurant. The previous ‘Chu Lian’ had never been this lucky.

‘Chu Lian’ had used sinister plots to take over the management rights of the estate, and then used some other tricks to take the matriarch’s other personal properties when Matriarch He had fallen seriously ill.

“But is this…” Is this real? She was overjoyed!

However, before Chu Lian could finish speaking, Matriarch He interrupted her.

Matriarch He purposely put on a serious expression. “No buts. Grandmother wants to give this to you, so you just have to accept it. Grandmother wouldn’t even give this restaurant to Dalang and the others if they asked for it! Even if you can’t manage it well, Grandmother won’t blame you. That restaurant isn’t earning money now anyway, so you can’t possibly make it worse than it is now.”

The matriarch had misunderstood Chu Lian’s meaning, but Chu Lian knew this wasn’t the time to explain. Due to her happiness, her cheeks were flushed red, giving Matriarch He the urge to pinch her little cheeks to see if they felt as soft and smooth as they looked.

Of course, Matriarch He actually gave into the urge.

Chu Lian was a little embarrassed by having her cheeks pinched. Softly, she called out, “Grandmother.” In her mind, she wasn’t a fifteen year old girl at all, unlike her appearance!
