Chapter 47 - Who Cares
Thus , Su Wan decided to implement her next step , putting on an indignant expression she walked a little closer to Surname Zheng " pei ! Surname Zheng how dare you lie ! My brother is an straight and upright scholar how dare you blacken his name ! if he was the one who introduced you to my restaurant why isn't he with you ? If my brother brought you here to mooch off free meals shouldn't he be here ? Surname Zheng you better not lie the heavens have eyes if you lie and bring shame to my brother's name the heaven will make you pay for your sins ! If you sin too much then see if the heavens don't strike you to death !" just as Su Wan finished speaking a bolt of lighting flashed behind her making her look rather sinister when she cursed Surname Zheng just like a devil .
" What strike to death ! I surname Zheng , swear in the name of heavens that your brother really did say that this restaurant belonged to him and his family and he is the one who brought me here as well ! If I'm lying then let the lightning strike me dead !" Surname Zheng was never afraid of making false vow and what was more this time he was speaking the truth , the moment he finished his vow everyone looked at the sky that was serene and calm .
Surname Zheng smirked and stood up puffing out his chest , he casually brushed off the dust of his clothes and in a timely manner Su Wan put on a extremely pale expression that was filled with dread and betrayal as she leaned against Lin Rui who hurriedly 'brought her in his arms to soothe her ', she looked bewildered and confused which made the crowd pity her again.
" Sigh , the girl can fight with an outsider. But how will she fight with her family ?"
" To think her brother is a scholar what a sin ! He actually coveted the dowry shop of his half sister !"
" aye , such a pitiful girl !"
When Surname Zheng saw the 'pitiful ' and ' betrayed heavily ' Su Wan he felt rather happy in his heart . Infact he thought that all his humiliation was now paid back , what he lost was only some dignity ; he can always earn it back by becoming an official and he was still young , people will forget all about his embarrassment one day but Su Wan hehe , this poor girl was schemed against by her own family member . How will she ever recover from this ?
Surname Zheng was lucky that Su Wan couldn't read mind because if she could she would have vomited right on his face .
But Surname Zheng couldn't read minds nor could Su Wan so both of them acted as they pleased . Satisfied by giving Su Wan such a low blow , Surname Zheng hurriedly spoke up , with an air of someone really humbling himself " I was fooled and that's why I acted like this but sister you can't wrong me either its your fault too that you treated trash as treasure . Today , I will pay back whatever I owe you but I hope you will go easy on me because-"
Lin Rui who was still angered and feeling aggrieved over the fact that his wife was hurt like this after being called a bitch , interrupted Surname Zheng at once , in his eyes Surname Zheng wasn't that innocent either " Surname Zheng there is no need for you to say so much , so what if you were lied to ? Its not like my brother in law asked you to make my wife's restaurant 's staff your punching bag nor did he ask you to beat manager Wang so badly today or to call my wife a bitch ! You either pay for everything including the mental and physical trauma that you inflicted on my wife and the restaurant 's staff including your meal or we can take this matter to your headmaster "
Su Wan who was weakly leaning against Lin Rui immediately wanted to kiss her bold and courageous husband just look at that so dashing !
" Wait, wait, wait" Surname Zheng felt sweat drip down his head at the mention of his headmaster and he hurriedly bowed " I will pay - just tell me how much I need to pay - we will pay together " pulling the dumbstruck Surname Ji off the ground Surname Zheng agreed .
Lin Yan snorted then with a gentle expression that was no way near when he was facing Surname Zheng he looked at Su Wan " Wan Wan how do you want to settle this matter -"
Su Wan turn to look at the server boy who immediately spoke up " Surname Zheng has been eating at our diner for seven months , he had caused several of our staff to quit and he even gave me , my brother and manager Wang several injuries and severe psychological trauma - I won't count that in but I do need to tell you miss that surname Zheng owes our shop a total of twenty five silver taels and he should also pay for Manager Wang 's medicine , treatment and nutrition "
" You heard that ? Pay " Lin Jing stepped forward with a menacing expression that turned Surname Zheng and Surname Ji silly .
" I will pay , of course I will pay " repeated Surname Zheng as he took out several taels from his pouch " here take these forty taels and consider this matter done , I will pay for my wrong today but I hope you don't create trouble for me tomorrow !"
After considering everything Surname Zheng paid forty silver taels , in his eyes these forty taels were nothing as long as he could shut these bumpkins off . As long as the matter didn't reach to his headmaster there wasn't a loss that he , Surname Zheng couldn't afford !
Su Wan and family returned to the restaurant once Surname Zheng paid off his debts , even the crowd parted leaving The Lin brothers who were seriously cajoling Su Wan .
" Wan Wan don't worry , even your brother betrayed like you , we will treat you well !" promised Lin Rui
" love you till death " assured Lin Jing with cheeks flushing red
" Wi..will treat you re..really go..good " said Lin Yu
" Who told you to be stupid enough to believe that brother of yours , I guess I have no choice - you can chose a thing to buy and I will buy it for you but only one " this one was from Lin Yan .
Su Wan who supposedly received a ' huge blow 'was stupified as she glanced at her husbands who were worried about her. Seeing them act like that she couldn't help but grumble inwardly 'who is upset ? I could careless about that Su Cheng , I only acted like that because I wanted to get that stupid Surname Zheng off our backs , who knew you guys were as stupid as him to believe me ' at the same time she couldn't help but wonder if her acting was really that good .
What Su Wan forgot was that a guy in love acted as blind thus the young Lin brothers who were newly experiencing the taste of their first spring 'blindly' chose to believe their wife .
Su Wan who wanted to come clean immediately turned silent , whatever - she will let them mollycoddle her . She was finally getting a chance to buy something who cared about the method?
" Thank you , thank you so much young madam " thanking furiously the server boy hurriedly arranged seats for Su Wan and her husbands , he hurried off to the kitchen and brought them clean well water . As he once again continued with his profuse spree of showing them his gratitude " Young madam , I'm so glad you arrived if not poor manager Wang would be already -" he sniffed loudly while his eyes turned red .
Su Wan shook her head and she handed him a handkerchief after taking it from Lin Yu , as married woman she couldn't just hand her handkerchief to an unknown man .
" stop crying " she said as she handed the handkerchief to the server boy " don't curse manager Wang like that , if you do that manager Wang might want to settle scores with you when he returns ... instead of crying why don't you give me an overview of the situation of this restaurant ?" Su Wan could see that the boy cared a lot about the restaurant and manager Wang thus , she used this to get the boy's mind off .
Instantly her plan worked and the server boy stopped crying .
