Lin Yuan smiled, "Never mind that, even for Seventh Sister and Dawang and Xiao Wang’s sakes, I can’t take your money for this meal!"

"Sister, no!" Loudmouth hurriedly tried to intercept, but was cut off by Da Qiangzi, "Sit down! What’s a woman doing getting involved in this!"

Loudmouth’s eyes narrowed, her complexion immediately changing. Huh, did this bastard really think she was still the Loudmouth who used to allow him to bully her?

Xiao Wang naturally couldn’t stand by and watch his own mother being scolded, especially by the failure who had abandoned them!

"What right do you have to talk to my mom like that? My mom divorced you a long time ago, you have no right to scold her!"

At this moment, Dawang also felt dissatisfied with this father. He had agreed to reconcile with Da Qiangzi because he had supposedly reformed, for the sake of his mother’s later years, so she could have someone to accompany her, not for her to be bullied again!

"Dad, how can you talk to Mom like that? Mom has had a hard time these years, can’t she even speak? You said you wanted to reconcile with Mom, but if this is your attitude, I, I won’t help you anymore."

Seeing that one by one they all took her side instead of his, even shaming him in front of Lin Yuan, an outsider, Da Qiangzi suddenly felt his male pride trampled upon mercilessly, "How is it! She’s a woman showing her face around in public and she’s right? Hmph, not afraid of people laughing!"

Now those were unpleasant words. It wasn’t just Loudmouth who was going out and showing her face, there was Lin Yuan too!

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, smiling as she watched everything unfold.

Loudmouth couldn’t be bothered with him either, not even giving face to her eldest son, "Da Qiangzi, I’ll say it one last time, stop looking for me! If you harass me again, I’ll take you to the Yamen! Son, let’s go!"

Xiao Wang naturally followed Loudmouth immediately, while Dawang looked back and forth between his mother and Xiao Wang, then back at Da Qiangzi, who was still brazenly sitting there, and with a stomp of his foot, he sighed, "Ah, to think you haven’t changed a bit from before!"

After speaking, he also chased after Loudmouth and Xiao Wang.

In just an instant, all three of them had left, and Lin Yuan looked at the somewhat startled Da Qiangzi with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, a chuckle rising in her heart.

Da Qiangzi felt humiliated and Lin Yuan’s gaze only added to his discomfort, but he stubbornly thickened his skin and did not budge, "Go on, go! It’s better when everyone’s gone!

Leaving behind such a big table of food uneaten, they really deserve their poor fate! They don’t eat, fine, I’ll eat it all!"

Saying so, he ignored Lin Yuan’s meaningful gaze and started wolfing down a big chicken leg.

"Then enjoy yourself, and call for the waiter if you need anything." Leaving behind a line with a smile, Lin Yuan smiled as she departed.

"Sure!" With no one competing with him, Da Qiangzi ate with great gusto, polishing off a chicken leg in just a few bites. After finishing, he still felt unsatisfied and shouted, "Bring me a jar of good wine!"

A clever waiter immediately brought the wine over.

Da Qiangzi alternated between bites of meat and sips of wine, shouting how delicious it was while thinking to himself that even if he couldn’t be the shopkeeper of Rice Flower Fragrance, just eating this meal for free was worth it.

The meal lasted nearly two hours, and Da Qiangzi only slapped his belly and burped contentedly before asking the waiter to pack up the leftovers.

The waiter packed up efficiently but didn’t leave, instead waiting there with a smile.

Da Qiangzi was taken aback, "What, after eating I have to be rushed out? Can’t a man sit and rest here for a while?"

The waiter, bending over with laughter, said, "Sure, sure, why not? But, honored guest, perhaps you would like to settle the bill first?"

What? Check out? Wasn’t this meal supposed to be on the house?

"Fetch your boss! I want to ask her if it’s possible to take back something she’s already said!

Humph, despite looking so gentle and quiet, she turns out to be a flip-flopper!

No way, if she doesn’t make it clear today, I’ll turn this Fuman Building upside down!

Hurry up, go tell her, if she doesn’t offer me some compensation, I’m not leaving today! "

Lin Yuan arrived promptly, still with that calm and serene smile on her face.

Seeing her like this, Da Qiangzi suddenly felt uneasy, but still insisted on repeating what he had just said.

Lin Yuan exclaimed, "Oh," with a smile, "So that’s what this is about. Then you must be mistaken. I did say that for the sake of Loudmouth and the Wang brothers, this meal must be on the house. But look, they’ve left, they haven’t eaten a single bite.

I saw it clearly, you ate it all yourself.

In that case, I really can’t waive the bill. "

Da Qiangzi was taken aback and widened his eyes: "You, you’re quibbling!"

Lin Yuan innocently spread her hands: "How’s that? I’m the fairest there is. How about this, within two hours, if you can bring either Loudmouth or one of the Wang brothers here, I’ll waive your bill, how about that? Absolutely fair, right?"

Fair? Fair my ass!

Da Qiangzi truly felt like swearing at his mother!

Forget about Loudmouth, and don’t even think about Xiao Wang! The only hope now was Dawang, but that look in the kid’s eyes when he left just now...

Da Qiangzi couldn’t help shivering, but still hardened his face and nodded: "Let Dawang come, Dawang will definitely come to rescue me! Wait until he’s here, and see how you compensate me!"

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, clapped her hands: "Liuzi, find someone, go and call Dawang."

At the doorway, the ever-smiling Liuzi, who had sneaked up at some point, gave Da Qiangzi a smile that was all teeth, saying: "Don’t you worry, I guarantee I’ll call Dawang for you! Just you watch!"

Seeing Liuzi’s flower-like smile, Da Qiangzi felt his heart grow cold.

Once outside with a young waiter, Liuzi took a seat in a teahouse that was hidden from view and started drinking tea.

The young waiter raised an eyebrow curiously: "Brother Liuzi, weren’t we going to Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop? Why are you sitting down for tea?"

Liuzi drank a leisurely sip of tea, smacking his lips with satisfaction, and made a face: "Why go there? Silly boy, do you think the shopkeeper really wanted us to find Dawang? Come on, drink tea."

Saying that, Liuzi poured a cup of tea for the young waiter and enthusiastically pulled him over to join him.

After sipping three cups of tea, Liuzi calculated the time, got up with a smile, and said: "Let’s go, time to report back. Dawang is too busy to come, that old thing, tsk tsk."

As time ticked by, Da Qiangzi’s heart grew colder, and it was as if he fell into a pit of ice when he saw Liuzi entering with a grim face.

Hearing Liuzi’s words, Lin Yuan spread her hands with much regret: "What to do now, alas, what if you could settle the bill for us?"

Da Qiangzi’s hands started trembling, pay the bill? He didn’t have any money! If he had known it would come to this, he wouldn’t have ordered so much food, no, he wouldn’t have had Dawang book Fuman Building!

Lin Yuan arched her brows, smiling as she glanced at Liuzi, who chuckled with a heave-ho, rubbing his hands excitedly.
