"Don't say anything more! I must clear things up with him today!" The old lady forcefully shouted at Caiyun, then pointed directly at Chen Yang, saying, "I heard you're involved with the River Fish Restaurant business too, right? That's why you had the nerve to make my daughter fire my son, isn't it?"

Honestly, seeing the old lady being so overbearing, unreasonable, and aggressive, Chen Yang found it quite distasteful.

If it were an ordinary old lady, Chen Yang wouldn't bother with her.

But she happened to be Caiyun's mother, so Chen Yang had to take a junior's approach, trying to communicate with her.

"Yes, I do have shares in the River Fish Restaurant business, but what happened this afternoon wasn't because I insisted on firing anyone; it's just that your son went too far." Chen Yang explained calmly.

"Huh? My son went too far? He just entertained a few classmates and served your food late, so what? Do you really think having a share of the business makes you extraordinary? Don't forget, this restaurant is mostly my daughter's!"

Chen Yang's reasonable statement seemed to strike a nerve with the old lady, making her voice even higher.

She also displayed an attitude, reprimanding Chen Yang.

The implication was as if the restaurant was entirely her family's, and allowing Chen Yang to invest was already quite generous, yet Chen Yang was still putting on airs.

They could kick Chen Yang out at any time.

Honestly, such words were very unpleasant to Chen Yang's ears.

"Auntie, it's not right to talk like that. I'm in a partnership with Sister Caiyun; I didn't mean what you said. What your son did at the restaurant was really over the line." Chen Yang tried to reason with the old lady with patience.

However, she didn't listen at all and became even more agitated.

"What? You said I'm wrong? Aren't you just investing a little money? What's so impressive about that? Let me tell you, my son must go back to work, and you have to apologize to my son. Otherwise, there's no partnership; our River Fish Restaurant doesn't need your investment," the old lady said sharply.

Chen Yang had been very tolerant, but given the old lady's repeated unreasonable demands, he really found it hard to hold back.

He frowned.

Beside him, Caiyun was also very anxious at this point.

Because she didn't want Chen Yang to quarrel with her mom.

Furthermore, she also thought her mom's words were too much and worried that Chen Yang might have objections.

"Mom! Can you stop talking! Today's issue at the River Fish Restaurant has nothing to do with Yang Zi! Stop bothering him!" Caiyun complained irritably at the old lady, then turned and went to Chen Yang's side, pulling him into the room without saying a word.

Then, there was a loud "bang" as she shut the door.

"Well! You really are ungrateful! At this moment, you're siding with him? Do you even see me as your mom?"

...

Seeing Caiyun go into the room, the old lady was still making a fuss outside the door.

Although she didn't say anything extremely unpleasant, her sharp voice was still grating.

"Yang Zi, my mom's just like this; don't mind her. Wait here for me. I'll go deal with them and then come to talk with you," Caiyun hurriedly comforted Chen Yang, ignoring the noise outside.

For her, Chen Yang was the most important person, so she didn't want him to have any objections.

"Yeah, I won't argue with the elderly. These are your family matters, and it's not my place to get involved. Go ahead, I'll wait for you." Chen Yang nodded calmly and agreed.

Seeing Chen Yang without any other emotions, Caiyun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then wait for me a bit, I'll be right back." Caiyun smiled and nodded, then turned to open the door and went out.

When Caiyun went out, the old lady naturally started another round of noise.

Although Chen Yang was in the room, he still heard it clearly.

It lasted for more than twenty minutes before the sound outside gradually diminished.

It seemed the issue was resolved, but Caiyun was still not back in the room.

It wasn't until Chen Yang waited another ten minutes or so that the door opened, and Caiyun walked in with a helpless expression.

"Is the issue resolved?" Chen Yang stood up.

Caiyun nodded with slight weariness: "Yes, it's resolved. My mom and brother left."

"How was it resolved?"

Chen Yang, who was in the room, only heard the old lady's earlier commotion but didn't hear how things concluded.

Seeing Chen Yang ask this, Caiyun's expression turned a bit bitter.

After thinking for a moment, she finally didn't say it.

"Nothing much, just gave them some money to send them away. My brother's personality really isn't suitable for work; I just gave some money as compensation," Caiyun explained.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang understood.

It's hard to deal with such an unreasonable mother and brother.

So, he didn't ask in detail. The problem was solved, and that was enough.

"Alright, then how about the shortage of a manager at the restaurant?" Chen Yang turned to ask.

Caiyun walked to Chen Yang, held his hand, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"What else can we do? Hire a new one or promote a hardworking employee from the restaurant," Caiyun said.

Hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly thought of the server he encountered while having lunch at the River Fish Restaurant today.

The service attitude of that server was indeed good.

So he said, "The server today was pretty good. If there's no suitable person, maybe we can let her try."

Caiyun thought for a moment and remembered that server from this afternoon.

"You mean Cheng Ping? Yes, that young girl does have a good work attitude. Then I'll arrange it tomorrow," Caiyun agreed with Chen Yang's suggestion and directly agreed.

After that, the two chatted a bit more in the room about what happened this afternoon.

After they finished talking, it was quite late.

So Caiyun suggested having Chen Yang stay for dinner.

Without hesitation, Chen Yang directly agreed.

"Then please help pick up Qianqian. I'll cook at home; today I'll personally make dinner," Caiyun smiled.

"Alright, it's been a long time since I've had your cooking. I'll definitely have a good taste," Chen Yang smiled as well and then left the River Fish Restaurant in a van to pick up Xia Qianqian from town.

When Chen Yang brought Xia Qianqian back, Caiyun had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

When Chen Yang and Xia Qianqian entered the house, they saw Caiyun, wearing an apron, carrying wild mushroom soup from the kitchen.

Seeing Caiyun cooking, Xia Qianqian was full of surprise!

"Mom! Why did you cook today?"

Caiyun put down the wild mushroom soup, wiped her hands, and looked over: "There wasn't much else to do today, so I cooked. Quickly put down your school bag and go wash your hands with Uncle Chen Yang; dinner will be ready soon."

Xia Qianqian, in a very good mood, nodded and immediately went to the room to put down her school bag and then joined Chen Yang to wash her hands for dinner.

At the dinner table, Xia Qianqian was always cheerful, sharing various interesting stories with Caiyun and Chen Yang.

The atmosphere of the three of them having dinner together was harmonious and joyful.
