Chapter 1728 — Sending Flowers

The An family's behavior this time rather astonished Wei Zhao. The two of them seemed not in the least embarrassed about the Great Clan Gathering, as if the name of a great clan really meant nothing to the An family — and as if this dinner really was just a reunion with Gu Pengzhan!
Because father and son, to this moment, had shown not the slightest intention of currying favor with Wei Zhao!
That let Wei Zhao breathe a sigh of relief, and yet it also left him somewhat puzzled! Wei Zhao had been afraid that An Mingyue would use Gu Pengzhan to plead the An family's case, hoping to join the **[**'s Association — and if Gu Pengzhan really did speak up, Wei Zhao would have a hard time refusing!
But now that worry was gone. Still, the two men's behavior left Wei Zhao feeling rather strange! Could it be that An Mingyue and An Liwen truly didn't care about the name of a great clan? Or did they have some other backing?
As he was pondering this, An Liwen said with a smile to the group, "Let's sit over here, so we don't disturb the elders' conversation!"
With that, An Liwen pointed to a rather large open booth not far away.
It was a six-person booth — that is, only three people could sit on each side. And An Liwen's arrangement was undoubtedly an attempt to sit side by side at the same table with Gu Mengyao! After all, Wei Zhao and Tang Zhi were a couple and couldn't be split up, so one of Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu would inevitably have to sit beside him!
But in his view, Shen Yushu would either sit beside Wei Zhao or beside Gu Mengyao — she would absolutely never sit alone next to An Liwen.
Gu Mengyao naturally understood An Liwen's thinking. It was just that in this restaurant, the tables were either for four or for six; if there were more people, one would have to choose a small private room. But Gu Pengzhan and An Mingyue weren't sitting with them, and it wouldn't be proper for them to take a private room, so the six-person booth was the best choice.
Only, when they reached the booth, Gu Mengyao said, "How about us girls sit on one side, and you boys sit on the other?"
Wei Zhao didn't mind, but An Liwen was furious. He had finally come up with a good idea, and just like that it was ruined. But at this point he couldn't object — objecting would make it seem as though he had some improper motive.
"That works too. Where we sit doesn't matter — the point is to eat. The food here is good, with snacks from all over the world, all very authentic. I happened to come here once before, so I'll be your guide!" An Liwen said, picking up a plate with great gallantry.
"An Liwen, your An family doesn't seem to have been affected?" Wei Zhao finally couldn't help asking, because An Liwen gave him too strange a feeling! Families like the Kang family were breaking their necks trying to join the ranks of the great clans, yet the An family seemed to have no such intention at all.
"Heh heh, Wei Zhao, one thing is one thing. We may have our little conflicts and misunderstandings, but right now I'm the host — I'm treating Yaoyao and her family to dinner. For my sake, at least, let's not bring these things up for now." An Liwen smiled with great ease.
