Not only was the appearance deceptive, but the interior was as well. Although the tea house was a place of elegance, simply adding more green plants didn't necessarily reflect its sophistication. The abundance of greenery, in fact, raised Lin Yuan's suspicions. Indeed, as she strolled through the tea house, she discovered numerous scratches on the floor that hadn't yet been cleaned up, likely left by workers too tired to care while arranging the plants.
Therefore, these green plants must have been recently purchased by Ling Fengfeng in an attempt to superficially exhibit the tea house's elegance, because she thought Tian Hui was easy to deceive, and she had placed them haphazardly without proper planning.
Another flaw was the staff. Ling Fengfeng had claimed they were closed for a day, but Lin Yuan noticed dust in the corners that couldn't have been from just a day or two of closure—it had been at least half a month.
